A LITTLE MORE ABOUT DRY NEEDLING
Dry Needling (DN) is a common technique and works with single-use sterile needles to normalise chemicals and the pH level in the muscle.
This will restore circulation which will deactivate Trigger Points (TrPs), improve your range of motion and decrease pain sensations.
DN has also been shown to activate the fibroblast cells which are responsible for mediating immunity, inflammation and blood cell formation.
It also has a neurological effect by linking the muscle and brain directly together which is referred to as a Local Twitch Response (LTR). This is typically felt when targeting a TrP. If you have multiple TrPs that are active throughout the body our brain can get confused as to where the pain is coming from. By initiating a LTR the brain is able to tell the muscle to 'turn off' the pain pattern and normalise the TrP.
HOW IS DRY NEEDLING DIFFERENT TO ACUPUNCTURE?
Traditional Acupuncture is based on the East Asian Medicine (EAM) approach which includes various assessment methods and diagnosis based on EAM paradigms.
DN is used to alter dysfunctional tissue to improve or restore function. Areas that are targeted in a DN session are Myofascial TrPs, periosteum (vascular connective tissue) & soft tissue.
This treatment method is fantastic for those with chronic pain, Fibromyalagia, tennis elbow, carpal tunnel syndrome, headaches/migraines and/or injuries.

WHAT IS LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE MASSAGE?
Lymphatic drainage massage is an extremely gentle, rhythmic and flowing massage that targets the lymphatic system alone.
This style of massage is targeting a very superficial body system that only requires a light touch compared to direct soft tissue work like remedial massage.
The lymphatic system contains capillaries, vessels, nodes and blood vessels (which are major ducts that empty into the thymus region back towards the heart). The lymph nodes are extremely important as they filter and clean incoming lymph and produce immune competent T & B cells. Clearing these superficial or deeper clusters will assist the system in detoxification of metabolic waste.
The lymphatic system is a one way system that has no pump unlike the circulatory system. Simple body movement & the action of breathing helps to push the lymphatic fluid through the lymph vessels which are called lymphangions. This is a very slight muscle contraction at 6 contractions per minute. The lymphatic fluid is then slowly returned back to the heart and to the blood stream.
The main aim of this system is to recover essential interstitial fluid (containing blood plasma & proteins) that is lost from the circulatory system within the capillary beds. Up to 2-3 litres of water and 50% of blood protein is lost from the circulation system per day (10% of circulatory fluid). Through this ‘mop’ up system it is then re-established back into the body’s blood stream to ensure the body maintains a healthy balance.
This system is extremely sluggish and slow, circulating between 1.5 to 2 litres of Lymph per day. With lymphatic massage it can be increased up to 6 litres per day which is a large increase.
The clinical intent of this massage is to:
Stimulate the lymphatic system to reabsorb & transport lymph more effectively
Stimulate immune system
Encourage relaxation to reduce the sensation of pain
Assist with removal of metabolic waste from the tissue
Assist clients that have had sections of the lymph system removed due to cancer
Lymphatic massage will assist with:
Sinusitis/hay fever
Oedema reduction (pregnancy)
Pain relief (fibromyalgia)
Chronic inflammation
Strains, Sprains and bruising
Soft tissue damage
Post sporting event inflammation
Dentistry
Lymphoedema
Arthritis
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Pre/post surgery
Results of treatment will vary in every case. A client that is suffering from swollen limbs, will normally see a reduction in oedema directly after treatment and will continue to do so for up to 12 hours post treatment. For a client that is relatively healthy and active the challenge of this treatment might be that you feel it hasn’t done anything. However, if your system is compromised by any of the above, you may feel less fatigued/stressed, lighter and relaxed.
If you suffer from any form of cancer, heart condition or chronic inflammation medical clearance from your treating practitioner will be required.
REIKI
Reiki is an ancient healing art that focuses on our innate self-healing abilities. The practitioner is working with the body’s quantum energy field (or aura), to assist the body to rebalance its energy centres (chakras) or the field itself. During healing states, our bodies can resonate at certain frequencies and in the scientific community this is known as our Human Energy Field. When we meet these frequencies, we have the ability to restore flow where there is restriction or stagnation. Blockages in the field can present when we have limiting beliefs, negative thoughts or emotions about ourselves, negative lifestyle patterns, neglected or wounded Inner Child or unresolved past traumas, all of which can disrupt our bodies natural energy life force flow which can result in physical body ailments or disease, difficulties with making decisions or moving forward with different aspects of life and/or relationship issues.
Reiki aims at cleansing, balancing and healing whilst shifting our nervous systems from fight/flight (SNS) to rest/digest (PNS) which ultimately provides the cells in your body the opportunity to heal, taking you out of body survival and into a state of self-healing. Although not a miracle cure, there is a wide range of illness, injuries and health conditions Reiki can assist with and is also great for preventative care where you are wanting to maintain your health for ultimate living by raising your body frequency & vibration.
For those that are living in a state of fight/flight with a compromised vagus nerve (gut/brain response)
due to a chronic condition or stress, this style of treatment is ideal for assisting you on your healing
journey & beyond.
Reiki can:
support the body’s natural ability to heal itself
clear the body of toxins thus encouraging natural cleansing
promote healing by balancing the chakras
support and enhance other healing systems and reduce side effects
provide complete relaxation
relieve pain
increase creativity
establish mental equilibrium and emotional balance
bring about spiritual upliftment
Within Reiki treatments you may feel your practitioner's hands hovering above you or positioned on your body at specific locations. Both the practitioner and client must work together in this form of treatment, meaning, you must be open and willing to experience the healing modality of Reiki.
When we can open our minds to the fact that everything is energy and this is our living experience, we then realise that this aspect of our being can be influencing our lives and health. This gentle yet powerful treatment has the ability to assist you in coming back to your centre where you can begin to naturally heal.
How do I know it is working?
This is a very common question that clients have prior to a reiki session. Although this treatment is very subjective to the client’s experience, there can be a few common experiences with the sessions:
you can feel hot or cold spots
you can feel tingling, body twitching or jerking
your stomach can make gurgling sounds (which is your nervous system switching
over)
you can be swallowing more
Intense relaxation, comfort or falling asleep in treatment
taking you beyond a thinking space (much like meditation)
If you would like to discuss this form of treatment or you would like to start your healing journey, Carly would
love to hear from you.
For all Reiki session with Carly, please reach out directly as they will not be available online.

When we can open our minds to the fact that everything is energy and this is our living experience, we then

Although casual sessions are very beneficial for your health, if you are wanting to make long-lasting changes,
session blocks are advised. True healing is a process and an inner journey that requires time & integration.
It is truly a gift that you give yourself when you make the time to commitment to your own inner healing journey.
REFLEXOLOGY
Reflexology is a technique that targets different areas of the body using massage on the feet only. A treatment that will generate significant relaxation in the body by applying pressure to certain points in the feet, it will also help relieve anxiety, tension, improve mood and encourage better sleep.
This technique can have significant reduction of fluid, whether that is in an affected limb or elsewhere in the system. The Reflexology techniques can also assist with many conditions some of which are:
Arthritis
Chronic fatigue
Asthma
Fibromyalgia
Migraines
General aches and pains

PACKAGES
Here at REMEDIAL MOVEMENT we want to encourage better, free, flow!
Three wonderful treatment packages have been thoughtfully combined to ensure that we can maximise flow in our sessions.
The appointment duration time will be 105 minutes long to ensure that both modalities can have time to tap into your blockages and stagnation areas in the body to encourage the letting go process.
LYMPHATIC & REIKI PACKAGE
This treatment will consist of lymphatic & Reiki modalities combined to achieve increased lymphatic flow in session.
Reiki is an ancient healing art that focuses on our innate self-healing abilities. The practitioners hand positions are customarily placed or hover above the skin and tend to follow the body’s endocrine and lymphatic system which also focuses on our seven main energy chakras. With combing the soft touch treatment of lymphatic drainage, we can encourage a deeper healing experience.
Both the practitioner and client must work together in this form of treatment, meaning, you must be open and willing to experience the healing modality of Reiki. The practitioner will construct a personalised treatment depending on your presenting conditions and concerns and will intertwine the two modalities to aid in shifting blockages.
As these treatments can have a strong detoxifying effect due to the duration of the treatment, it is advised that any new clients with chronic conditions should first have a shorter Lymphatic treatment to start the detoxification process. If you are already in a Lymphatic Drainage Treatment Plan, this combination package could take your treatments to the next level.
From a energy perspective, during healing states, our bodies can resonate at certain frequencies. This is scientifically known as our Human Energy Field. When we can open our minds to the fact that everything is energy and this is our living experience, we then realise that this aspect of our being can be influencing our lives and health.
Scientific studies are now proving that the body’s energy field certainly exist and is medically important in the healing process and incorporating the concept of metaphysics in treatments can round off the holistic healing journey.
Combining lymphatic and Reiki together will push your healing to new multidimensional heights.

LYMPHATIC & AromaTOUCH
Aromatherapy is an alternative medicine therapy that has been known as a symptom management tool for cancer pain, lymphatic issues, nausea, vomiting, low immunity, anxiety, depression, stress, insomnia, general aches and pain, dementia and end of life symptoms.
With AromaTouch Massage the skin absorbs the molecules of the oil that travel to the pulmonary blood vessels, blood stream, organs and tissues. With this absorption the essential oils can trigger a mental and physiological response, generating a reduction in stress which can enhance the healing process.
As some oils can be very strong it is important to disclose if you have any skin conditions that may be aggravated by the essential oil. Not only that, it is important for you to be open and honest with your practitioner regarding your health so that the correct oils can be effectively blended for your specific health requirements.
Combining the two modalities together can not only heighten your healing, it can also be a source of comfort and lift your mood in times of life changing and challenging situations.
The practitioner that will be offering this package is, Diana Nino.
