The Health Detectives

Everyone says slumping and slouching is bad for your health. But do you really know how important posture is and how many pains may be caused by bad posture? We see so many people not holding themselves properly and over the years the spine may become misaligned. This will cause the muscles and ligaments to be under stress and can become strained and painful.

Slumping and slouching also reinforces tiredness, feeling low and non-confident. Just try to sit in your chair and slouch. It really doesn’t make you feel good. Everything becomes restricted – even your breathing becomes shallower. Stand up as straight as you can, push your chest forward and look upwards and forwards. This will improve both appearance and health. And you may feel better just for doing that!

If you need a helping hand changing your posture as it’s almost like your body has adapted to this way of moving, often The Bowen Technique can help. We may need to work on the PSOAS and you can do certain exercises to strengthen the PSOAS and your posture.

Saturday 19 June at The Picton Centre, Haverfordwest – doors open 12 noon.

STRICTLY HORMONES – Talk begins at 12.15 and end approx 1.45
and individual testing sessions to follow from 2.15pm (bookable in advance)  – refreshments available

 Hormones can cause a surprising range of seemingly unconnected health issues – when they go out of balance. These problems can likewise go away again once the hormones in question are put back on track. So do you know anyone with….

 PMT?  fe/male Infertility?     Sleep disorders?     Sugar cravings?     Cataracts ?   Growth and bone disorders?    Exhaustion?  Prostrate problems?  Chronic tiredness?   Emotional states / weapy?      Polycystic ovaries?          Fibroids?  Hot flushes?  blood sugar imbalances / diabetes?

 You are right!  Hormones really do have a lot to answer for!

This  is our first ever ‘strictly hormones’ event  – with the chance for half hour testing sessions afterwards . Come and find out about our amazing endocrine system, which does so many jobs in our body, and as our major ‘coping system’ – with it back in balance you will be in a better state to cope with life’s challenges! 

So from insulin to testosterone, calcitonin to thyroxin, melatonin to oestrogen…. come and find out how the rebalancing of this huge body system with natural remedies could be what your body has been crying out for.

Doors will open at 12 noon with 15 min to get in and find your seats. We’ll talk for approximately 1½ hours including question time. After the hormone demo, we will be available to do half hour hormone MOT testing for anyone who would like to know what is going on with their hormone system. You have the option of booking a testing slot on the day  when you buy your ticket for the talk. However, there will be a limited number of slots available.

IYou will also be able to book normal clinic sessions if you are not free to stay for testing that day. Or leave us a hair sample to test from. See more about hair testing here.
