TECHNIQUES AND THERAPIES
Many techniques and therapy names sound alike or simply refer to
variations of a base technique.
This has arisen over many years due to the tendency for practitioners to wish
to share their successes and show how particular individual needs can benefit
greatly from one or another variation.
Whilst not yet complete – we hope the following helps you to
understand a little more about the differences and similarities.

C
An eastern technique which encourages the free-flowing of energy
through application of pressure to particular key points on the body.
Originating from China, acupuncture involves inserting small
needles into various points in the body to stimulate nerve impulses.
Traditional Chinese acupuncture is based on the idea of 'qi' (vital
energy) which is said to travel around the body along 'meridians'
which the acupuncture points affect. Western Acupuncture uses the
same needling technique but is based on affecting nerve impulses
and the central nervous system; acupuncture may be used in the
West as an anaesthetic agent and also as an analgesic.
See Aromatherapy. Advanced aromatherapy deals with specific
conditions including the support of pregnant women, blending
products for children
If you have suffered a sports injury or have a recurring problem the
Advanced Sports Therapist will be able to advise you and may offer
pain-relieving electrical techniques such as TENS, Ultrasound, or
Interferential treatment. (Please note that doctor’s consent may be
requested before treatment begins.)
See Body Works
A therapy commonly utilised during Sports and remedial massage.
It involves application of deep pressure to the point of pain to
release muscle spasm and ease tension in the muscle, thereby
relieving long term muscular pain.
See reflexology
Based on a theory that the way a person uses their body affects
their general health. This technique encourages people to optimise
their health by teaching them to stand, sit and move according to
the body's 'natural design and function'. This is, in essence, a
taught technique, rather than a therapy. The practitioner will help
the client to re-educate their body to take up the correct posture for
everyday tasks such as sitting, standing and walking.

Specific advice relating to the match and applicability of treatments
and techniques for health and wellbeing of the individual
A series of psychical therapies that attempt to help patients to work
through their thoughts and to reflect on their lives so as to
maximise wellbeing.
Discovered in the early 1900’s by Dr William Sutherland it is based
upon the premise that the movement of the skull bones results in
different tidal motions in the body which directly reflects the state
of health of the bodily systems, mental and emotional states. The
treatment will consist of the therapist placing their hands lightly on
the client’s head or sacrum and ‘feeling’ for the blockages.
See Cranio Sacral Therapy
Based on the idea that crystals can absorb and transmit energy and
that the body has a continuing fluctuating energy which the crystal
helps to tune. Crystals are often placed in patterns around the
patient's body to produce an energy network to adjust the patient's
energy field or 'aura'.

Nutrition Advice
Nutritional therapists take an assessment of their client, identifying
in what ways the client has problems and what help they need.
Nutritional therapists will then plan diets for their clients on a
progressive basis. Initially identifying the diet that can start helping
the problems but continuing to monitor and adjust it as and when
needed.
Nutritional Coaching
Nutritional therapists help to examine, analyse and change dietary
habits to foster a healthy, balanced diet supporting an individual’s
needs, for example in terms of weight gain, weight loss or weight
maintenance.
Nutritional Medicine
Term used to cover the use of nutritional methods to address and
prevent disease. Uses diets and nutritional supplements. Often used
to address allergies and chronic digestive problems. The difference
between nutritional medicine and dietetics is that nutritional
therapists work independently in accordance with naturopathic
principles and focus on disorders which they believe can be
attributed to nutritional deficiency, food intolerance or toxic
overload. They believe these three factors are involved in a wide
range of health problems. Dieticians usually work under medical
supervision, using diets to encourage healthy eating and tackle a
narrower range of diseases. Nutritional therapists often use
exclusion diets and herbal remedies to tackle patients' problems.

A system of diagnosis and treatment, usually by manipulation, that
mainly focuses on musculo-skeletal problems, but a few schools
claim benefits across a wider spectrum of disorders. Historically
differs from chiropractic in its underlying theory that it is
impairment of blood supply and not nerve supply that leads to
problems. However in practice there is less difference than might be
assumed. Mainstream osteopathy focuses on musculo-skeletal
problems; but prior to osteopathy gaining statutory protection of
title, other branches of this therapy purported to diagnose and treat
a range of disorders. One such branch is now known as craniosacral therapy, which should be considered as a distinct therapy

Tibb is a tradition which synthesises elements of health philosophy
from Egypt, India, China and classical Greece. It literally means
'nature'. The concept of wholeness and balance permeates the
principle of Tibb. Imbalance is thought to cause disease. It is
thought to occur on four levels: physical, emotional, mental and
spiritual. Tibb uses a range of treatments including massage,
manipulation, dietary advice and herbal medicine, and a
psychotherapeutic approach to restore imbalances which are
considered the cause of disease.
The theory behind Traditional Chinese medicine is that the body is a
dynamic energy system. There are two types of energy - Yin qi and
Yang qi - and it is thought if there is an imbalance in Yin and Yang
qi then symptoms occur. Traditional Chinese medicine uses a
number of treatment methods to restore the balance of Yin and
Yang qi; these include acupuncture, herbal medicine, massage and
the exercise technique Qigong.
Chinese massage which rebalances Chi (Qi) energy. Can be done
through clothing and combines massage, accupressure and

Developed by Dr Fritz Smith in 1973 it is designed to promote good
health and a sense of well-being. Clients begin seated and then
move to a reclining position. The practitioner will concentrate on the
skeletal system and particularly the joints which will receive a
gentle touch. The aim is to create harmony and balance.
