Dry needling is mainly used to "treat" myofascial "trigger points", but it is also used to "target" connective tissue and muscular ailments.

My Philosophy

A break to pull of the leeches!.JPG

The Big Jigsaw
 

 

I have always believed that health and fitness was bigger than working hard in the gym and going for a run. There are various technical elements of fitness: cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, balance and flexibility. For a happy and healthy life you can add positive emotional wellness, stress management, good diet and nutritional habits, a good sleep pattern, motivation, body composition, hydration.... I’m sure I can think of more!

This is what I call the Big Jigsaw... creating the perfect health, fitness and wellness picture for the rest of your life. 

Most of us have lots of the pieces in place, but for many some pieces are still missing. To get to our full potential we need to fit more of the pieces in the puzzle to create your own personal fitness picture. It is only when the picture becomes more complete that we can really achieve our goals.

So lifestyle is key. Get out of the office. Get some fresh air! Pull your jigsaw pieces together and create your personal picture. Most people are happily surprised at what their picture looks like! There is no upper age limit or minimum fitness level, to make positive changes to your life.

This is for ALL of us. Fabulous!
