Try Mindfulness To Support Your Nervous System And Help Manage Pain

A Simple Mindfulness Exercise To Try

Set a few minutes aside, find a comfortable and safe place to be. Close your eyes, or just try not to focus on anything.

Turn your attention slowly and deliberately to each part of your body. Focus on your body in order, from toe to head or head to toe.

Become aware of any sensations, emotions or thoughts associated with each part of your body. If you notice pain or uncomfortable feelings, acknowledge them, and gently try and breathe through them, try to relax this area.

This exercise, although simple in its nature, doesn’t always feel easy or possible. Try it regularly for a while, it does get easier.

 

 

 

 

 

Discover the Power of Laser Therapy for Effective Knee Pain Relief

I would like to introduce you to an innovative and non-invasive solution for reducing knee pain: Laser Therapy. Whether you are a sports enthusiast, a normally active individual, or someone suffering from chronic knee pain. Laser therapy can  offer a safe and effective method to alleviate discomfort and enhance your quality of life.

Laser therapy is also known as Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT). It utilises focused light energy to stimulate cellular activity and promote healing. Here are some of the key benefits of laser therapy for reducing knee pain:

1. It’s Non-Invasive and Painless: unlike surgical interventions or invasive procedures, laser therapy is completely non-invasive and painless. It does not require any incisions or anaesthesia, making it an attractive option for individuals seeking conservative treatment methods.

2. Accelerated Healing and Reduced Inflammation: Laser therapy stimulates increased blood flow to the affected area, promoting the delivery of oxygen and nutrients necessary for tissue repair. It also helps reduce inflammation and swelling, providing relief from pain and discomfort.

3. Targeted Pain Relief: Laser therapy can specifically target the affected knee joint, allowing for precise treatment without affecting surrounding healthy tissues. This targeted approach helps to reduce pain, improve range of motion, and restore function.

4. No Side Effects: A full case history ensures laser therapy is appropriate for you. It does not cause any of the adverse side-effects associated with pharmaceutical medications, making it suitable for individuals who can’t take medications, and who are seeking an alternative approach.

5. Compatibility With Other Treatments: Laser therapy can be used in conjunction with other traditional treatments, such as physical therapy or pain medication to enhance their effectiveness. It can also be integrated into a comprehensive rehabilitation plan for post-surgical recovery, sports injuries, or degenerative conditions.

6. Convenient And Time Efficient: Laser therapy sessions are typically short, lasting between 10 and 30 minutes. This makes it a convenient treatment option for individuals with busy schedules who want to prioritise their well-being without significant disruptions to their daily routine.

7. Long-Lasting Results: With a course of laser therapy, patients often experience long-lasting pain relief and improved knee function. The cumulative effects of laser therapy helps to address the root cause of the pain, rather than providing temporary relief.

If you or someone you know is struggling with any pain, I encourage you to explore the benefits of laser therapy as a safe and effective treatment option. Get in touch with me, Claire, at the clinic to determine if laser therapy is suitable for you.

A typical course of laser therapy is 6 treatments in length. Treatments can be purchased individually, or if purchased upfront, there is a 10% discount for a course of 6 treatments.
