Yesterday I had some Acupuncture on my elbow that I injured several weeks ago in the gym. I hadn't been able to fully rest it as I use my hands and arms all day in clinic,plus I'm not the best patient myself..so continued going to the gym as well! Enough was enough though when I struggled to adjust my patients correctly and the pain became too much. I'm thankful that I have James in the room across from me,so he put me on his table and inserted 4 needles in to the acupressure points then used electro-stimulation of the needles. Today it feels about 90% better already,I'm a very happy chappy :) Acupuncture is an ancient form of Chinese healing which balances the body,mind and spirit.Very fine sterile needles are inserted into the body at carefully selected points to stimulate the body's own healing processes. These points lie on pairs of channels that cover the body and through which "qi" (pronounced "chee") flows. Traditional Ch...
Comrade Jacinda is scrambling to contain the groundswell of rebellion against her after COVID-19 resurfaced once again. (Did it ever leave??) Since Day 1 this Govt here in NZ has never been clear on a Plan 'B' and instead kept indoctrinating the public every day in its 1pm news briefings with brainwashing terminology such as " go hard and go early' and the "team of 5 million." We all bought in to it. We all dutifully obeyed her orders mainly due to uneducated fears of this 'new' Coronavirus and the fact that many people thought it was the Bubonic Plague x 10.

There was never any talk on either of these and certainly the thought of total eradication was never considered. Instead, we were all locked up. It was called "Quarantine" but we all know that quarantine is for the sick. Locking...
When it comes to your health, ask yourself this question: “Am I proactive or reactive?” Being reactive means taking action only when you’re in pain. Being proactive means doing what it takes to maintain good health. Being reactive means getting up off the couch because your family member or friend told you so. Being proactive means getting up off the couch and being active because you want to and you know it is good for you! Being reactive means grabbing the quickest source of sugary sweets to combat a stressful moment. Being proactive means eating healthy food (including healthy fats) when you’re hungry and when you need it most to properly maintain healthy stress levels. Reactive = Symptoms Being reactive can often be tied to symptoms. When you experience pain, this symptom tells you that something’s wrong and needs to be corrected. Correcting the cause of the symptom takes a level of commitment and sacrifice. It takes being proactive. No matter where you are on the reactive/proac...
