Katharine Warner joins Salus Wellness

We are pleased to announce that Katharine Warner, an NLP Practitioner based in Cambridge, has joined Salus Wellness, the complementary health centre located in the hearth of Cambridge city.

Katharine specialises in NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming), but will also incorporate Coaching and Clinical Hypnotherapy into her sessions where appropriate. NLP is a method of influencing the way the brain works through the use of language to allow the brain to be re-programmed, so that new and better behaviours can be achieved. She will work with you, training you to manage your thoughts, moods and behaviours more effectively.

Passionate about the importance of health and wellbeing in preventing and combatting illness, Katharine has experienced the power of NLP and Clinical Hypnotherapy by making a full recovery from a severely debilitating viral illness.

Katharine is experienced with resolving issues such as anxiety, confidence, exam performance, obsessive compulsive disorders (OCD), public speaking and many more. She has a particular interest in addictions, stress and pain management.

Katharine commented:

“I am very much looking forward to joining Salus Wellness. I will be working alongside a great existing team of highly qualified therapists, coaches and health care practitioners in a peaceful, professional and welcoming location in the heart of Cambridge.”

Exercises to deal with back pain

The Rossiter System Workouts explained:  fast, safely and effective therapy for back pain

This revolutionary stretching technique was developed by and named after the American, Richard Rossiter, a couple of decades ago and only came to England about 3-4 years ago. It is a fast, safe and effective method to help people with back pain!

Since 2003, I have been very passionate about helping people with complementary therapies: and I feel that this is by far the quickest way I learnt to help people to literally step out of pain.

 

How do Rossiter System workouts work? All you need is a Rossiter System coach who will put one clean socked foot on a part of your body, depending on where your pain is. You work as a team; you, the person in pain, are in charge. The warmth of the foot,  a bit of weight that  is put on your limb and the movement that you will be instructed to do under the foot, will stretch the connective tissue – a network of ligaments, tendons and fascia that holds everything together – in a way that it has probably never been stretched before. The Rossiter System workout gives the body  the space it has lost over time either through injury, overuse, bad posture or a mixture of those.

What happens in a session?

Let’s imagine that we are dealing with a client who suffers from back pain. The client gets to lie on a yoga mat on the floor, face up. The Rossiter System coach will put one foot on the side of the client’s leg. This may sound strange as we are addressing back pain but it works. If it’s an acute problem in the back, we will do the exercise on the leg of the same side, if it’s a chronic problem, we will do the exercise on the opposite side. The coach will put as much weight on the leg as the client can take at this point. The client needs to move the limb under the foot as well as the opposite leg according to the coach’s instructions. After 3 repetitions, the client may get up and walk around the room for a bit. After a few “laps” the client stands still and checks out the back, i.e. s/he does a few movements that were painful or restricted to do before this exercise. What happened? Is the movement easier? is there more range of movement? how is the pain? Then the client goes back on the yoga mat for the next challenge. We do 3 different exercises on the same leg and then the client decides which of these 3 exercises s/he felt benefited the most in terms of his/her back. That would be the one that we are going to do on the other leg to balance things out.

Let’s face it, people don’t necessarily like these exercises – as they will be somewhat uncomfortable to do – but people love the results! People don’t mind going through that bit of discomfort to finally be out of pain/discomfort in everyday life!

I often see people with rounded shoulders – due to too much work on the computer, too much driving etc – tennis or golfer’s elbow, knee pain, sciatica, frozen shoulders etc. They usually feel the benefits and changes from this workout almost instantly. The improvement is also quite visible for those with rounded shoulders. You can see the shoulders drop down and move back in just one session! We do one arm first, have a look in the mirror and then do the other. It’s usually noticeably improved.

This workout may well save you time, energy and money in the long run!

One Year of Successes

Building a business from scratch can be challenging and, at the same time, very rewarding when results are outstanding.  Salus Wellness Clinics celebrated this week its first anniversary; the complementary health centre is now a well established business that fits well in the local community, offering a rich variety of top quality complementary health services to a broad range of members of the public.

“We spotted a gap in the market and then we found this building with amazing potential”

states Luca Senatore (in the picture on the right) sales director and co-founder, who initially planned this venture

“and we knew it  would have been a success given the  innovative approach we had in mind for the clinic”.

The extra value added offered by Salus Wellness is to assist all practitioners with hands-on business coaching, consultancy and training, in areas such as sales, marketing and customer service.

“The majority of practitioners decide to qualify in hypnotherapy, massage or acupuncture because they have a passion for helping people which is very rewarding indeed; many of them do it without any previous experience in running a business and they fail to realise the need of entrepreneurial spirit that is necessary to succeed”

adds Massimo Gaetani (in the picture on the left), marketing director and co-founder. Massimo continues:

“when they start offering their services to the general public, they realise that clients are not queuing outside their door and the phone is not ringing constantly; that’s a normal but de-motivating way of starting”

People who are not used to running small businesses are simply not ready or trained  to deal with the new challenges and many struggle to make a decent living for months or even years.  In many occasions they give up and go back to full time occupation which, now more than ever, is not always an easy thing to do.  Salus Wellness offers, apart from the newly decorated and well maintained therapy rooms and full time reception, a comprehensive range of business development and practice management services for all practitioners working at their premises; this increases the chances for everybody’s success and  creates the win-win-win situation which Salus Wellness is known for.

The Radiance Technique® Training at Salus Wellness

Salus Wellness, Cambridge is the only clinic locally to teach the profound, effective healing technique: The Radiance Technique®.   Originally called reiki but renamed The Radiance Technique® it is the pure, complete, system of authentic reiki with seven degrees and twelve attunement processes.  It also has separate and specific teaching attunements.

The essence of us all is transcendence, the still, silent, hidden inner part of ourselves.  Everyone has the capacity to integrate an awareness of transcendence into themselves and it is this experience which heals by making us feel inwardly complete and free.  What makes The Radiance Technique® so exceptionally helpful is that it is a transcendental energy science which means it directly accesses the vibration of transcendence.  Physical well-being and changes in behaviour come from this for both the healer and their clients.

From studying The First Degree of The Radiance Technique® a constant attunement to the vibration of transcendence is created within the touch of the healer.  Consequently this ensures the most powerful and relaxing healing.  It creates a safe healing, one which is unaffected by the physical energy of the healer.  The Radiance Technique® is versatile and further skills to deepen the healing experience are taught on The Second Degree course. Skills which are helpful to all therapists even when touch is not a part of their practice.  It is easily combined with other complementary therapies.

Course participants are also taught to meditate using The Radiance Technique® for the development of inner awareness and to raise their own natural healing vibration. The same course is suitable for those wishing to learn to meditate only.

The Radiance Technique® is helpful for:

  • Anyone wishing to heal themselves or others.
  • All healers – to raise the vibration of their healing.
  • All therapists – to enhance the effectiveness of their present practice.
  • Anyone for whom touch is an essential part of their job.
  • Anyone in need of rest and relaxation.
  • Anyone interested in meditation and spiritual development.

Joseph Robinson Joins Salus Wellness

We are pleased to announce that Joseph Robinson DO BSc (Hons) Ost. , an Osteopath based in Cambridgeshire, has joined Salus Wellness, the complementary health centre which recently opened in Cambridge.

Joseph specialises in chronic pain and sports osteopathy. A primary healthcare for all ages Osteopathy is a system of diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of medical conditions. Osteopathy treats the structural and functional mechanics of the body i.e. the muscles, joints, ligaments and nerves thus relieving pain, discomfort and immobility. Osteopathy seeks to find and treat the root cause of the injury. Invariably we find that a problem or previous injury elsewhere is predisposing a current injury, for example, a knee or ankle injury can cause low back pain as the body compensates for these problems through the spine.

Osteopaths use hands-on techniques to manipulate and improve blood and nerve supply thus allowing the repair of damaged tissues and eliminating pain. Osteopaths use a wide range of orthopaedic tests and hands on palpation to diagnose musculo-skeletal injuries. Following an in depth case history to get an understanding of the problem at hand, the osteopath will examine the patient using the tests mentioned above and at each step of the way relate to the patient what they are assessing. Once a diagnosis has been formed the osteopath will explain to the patient what injury has happened, how it happened and how they intend to treat it.

Osteopathic treatment uses a wide range of soft tissue techniques as well as joint mobilisation, manipulation, exercises and postural advice to help relieve the following and more:

Joseph commented:

“Salus Wellness Clinics is unique to Cambridge in that it provides vast range of clinical practitioners each specialized experts in their individual fields, all in one modern clinic setting with brand new state of the art equipment.”
