Complementary Services
Complementary therapies can help to restore the body’s natural equilibrium and balance and when the body is relaxed and in balance it can cope with the everyday stresses and strains of life much more effectively. Complementary therapies can boost the immune system, help eliminate toxins, help relieve pain, improve circulation, improve sleep patterns, increase energy levels, induce deep relaxation, reduce stress and tension, restore balance to body systems.
Do note that treatments can in some cases help alleviate the symptoms of acute and chronic medical conditions but should never be used as a substitute for standard or conventional medical care. It is Complementary Therapy and not a cure.
Therapies have been known to have been practiced by various ancient civilisations like the Chinese, the Egyptians, the Japanese and the Native American Indians, as far back as 10000 BC. A great number of today’s illnesses come about as a result of the stress and tension in the lives we lead, but also following illnesses, injury or disease resulting in the body being left in a state of imbalance, with the vital energy pathways blocked, thus preventing the body and all its individual systems from functioning effectively.
The following Complementary Therapists provide treatment at the Physiotherapy Rehabilitation Centre:

A light suction action and movement of the flame creates a vibration of air in the ear canal, generating a massage-like effect on the eardrum.
