Message From Helen

Feel Empowered to Step Forward into 2012

I hope the holiday break was relaxing, refreshing and gave you time to slow down before the return to work. Now it’s a distant memory!

Here at Chelsea Massage, the clinic slowed down, then stopped for 2 weeks. Lara stayed in Adelaide while Helen was over at Tumby Bay for the New Year, near the beach. Since being back we are making a huge difference in muscle pain, fatigue, stress and chronic scoliosis problems. Often people come to us as a last resort, when everything else has been tried without success.

What we offer to you does have an amazing affect in what you are looking for to be happy and return to your healthy and happy self. Be prepared to concentrate on your health and not your pocket. For without your health, nothing else happens; your life stops the things, and the thing you love to do stops.

A lady last week had been in so much pain she stopped driving her car, and her daughter was very concerned. She loves fishing and wanted to go out there on the water but she couldn’t even do that for the rocking of the boat would have been too painful. In one and a half weeks, she was driving her car, went fishing with her friend, and the pain lines on her face are now gone and she looks relaxed.

Lara’s client had pains in his legs; he would rest a day or two and expect that his legs would be fine, BUT every time he went back to the gym they would get even more painful and it was hard for him to know what to do. The missing ingredient was NOT having a remedial massage, and as soon as he had his muscles released and was injury FREE, he continued the holistic approach every 2 weeks so he gets to go to the gym and enjoy his sessions stress and pain free.

Did you know that people who use the gym to release stress by pushing their body too hard cause injuries, they don’t get the pain sorted, and then they damage the muscles and have to STOP exercise? That is terrible. To love what you do but can’t do it.

Cheap is very expensive if nothing works! Some people are paying $50.00 for 5 minutes of treatment, 3 times a week; then add time, fuel and travel, that equals 15 minutes @$150.00. Other therapies are $60.00 for 3 minutes, 3 times per week; 3 x $60.00 equals $180.00 per week for 9 minutes of treatment. With the holistic massage approach (which looks at helping all of you), 60 minutes is just $110.00.

Last year I noticed people were searching for something that would help with their problems and often being told “You have to put up with it for the rest of your life,” which seems like a hard thing to do. Be prepared — many before you, including myself, needed to find answers to their problems. Now that 2012 is here, it’s time to step forward and get on with what you are meant to be doing.  Stop Struggling — Empower yourself first!

Quick Tips

Helen

Tip #2:  Where Does Your Pain Really Come From?

You can have pain in one area of your body, and you massage and put cream on it to relieve that area but it just doesn’t make any difference. Often the pain is coming from somewhere else in the body.

One classic case is hip pain. Many say it is sciatic pain or bursitis. What happens is the muscles get tight and can really be caused by overloading the muscles in the front of the upper leg or the calf. If only one small area is relaxed, the other areas in pain can become more painful.

Look at the whole body approach because what they say is, “The squeaky wheel gets most of the attention.” The area in your body with the most pain get ths attention first.

Lara

Tip #5:  What to Do When Negative Thoughts Keep Coming

Negative thoughts can come very quickly into our environment with newspapers, TV, radio and in what people say around us. The news is to sell ads and information and they can be very impactful.

Start reading positive books and switch the radio and TV off or listen to music with your headphones on. If you have been working hard, your thoughts turn into fatigue and tension in the muscles which restricts movement and puts a heaviness into your mind.

Drinking less alcohol, coffee and sweets will help to rebalance your mind and spirit. Use massage to rebalance the body’s muscles.

Feature Article

“Do You or Someone You Know Have Multiple Sclerosis?”

Google is a good resource for doing research into how you can get help with Multiple Sclerosis, as each person is individual, and so is MS in its symptoms. Research has found that a Massage and Reflexology combination can make a big difference to those suffering with MS.

I suggest the only way to know is to have 2-3 sessions and see what your body feels, how your body responds, and the symptoms you have.

You will know and I will not need to tell you because after the first treatment you will know how you are. A client came in earlier this week feeling and being very out of balance. After treatment he was standing still and comfortable on his feet. There are techniques that I can show you, things you can do between each visit to help yourself along and feel empowered to do it. www.DavidWolfe.com is into nutrients that he says helps people with MS. Check out how this can benefit you too.

Myofascial Cupping was recently added to her practice.  Instead of using a flame to make the suction, myofascial cupping is a suction-type action which is much more gentle but still very powerful in releasing tension.  Her passion is massaging and teaching Mums how to be calm and positive with themselves and with their children using the same massage techniques she uses in her Chelsea Massage clinic.

Practitioner: Lara Brougham
Lara has been professionally massaging for over 10 years. She specialises in ankle, back and shoulder injuries as well as healing clients with lower back pain. Even the oldest of our clients, who is 96 years old, down to the youngest such as 5 year old children, have aches and pain problems. Lara makes a huge amount of difference so they can sleep at night and start enjoying life again.

Pregnancy Massage

Many pregnant mums have swollen, hot and sore wrists, fingers and feet from being pregnant.  What we do during our massage session is relieve all that suffering.  January can get very hot and this is when you will feel the heat the most.  You don’t have to put up with these problems anymore; many just don’t know what is available and that it can be relieved so easily.

Sometimes people from another country come to settle into an area near you. We wish to welcome you and your family to the Adelaide and Kensington area. Feel free to ask any questions!

Massage Vouchers

When you give a massage gift voucher, it’s a really nice thing to do! When the person comes in they are excited, yet a little nervous.

My Book is Now Here!

A shipment of books are coming on Tuesday, February 17th!  I also have a special Bonus Free Sticker for the back window of your car and I am offering this to you first!  There is no mention of this on the website yet because we want our clients — you — to have a sticker first, which is becoming popular for the back window.

One problem that is almost normal is stress. And this is what causes communication to break down between our children. This fighting between each other is painful to listen to as our children go at each other and are always wanting us to stop them, and wondering which one I should tell off! It is too hard at this point; then you are stressed wondering, “How can I resolve all that?” In my book you’ll find the answers just as one mum before xmas got her Christmas present; her 2 girls have stopped fighting and are getting along and loving each other.

Message From Helen

Hi,

Are you ready to relax during the school holidays?

School holidays are nearly here. You’re feeling tired from rushing the children around to sports, school and other activities. It’s good to stop when the holidays are on and spend time at home or going on a family holiday.

Are you ready?

Have you had your massage this month?

Get in quick and have your massage because time does go quickly and you don’t want to feel fatigue, worn out, pain or sickness!

A good time to do it is right now to get those muscles ironed out so you are free from pain.  This will help you to keep up with the kids and stay patient with them.  For working mums it is like juggling balls; a few days off or even going away with the family — you just keep working on what you need to do each day and just keep on going…

I found that getting a massage just settles me down and puts me back in balance.

During the holidays is when many of the teachers come in and have their massages.  Spring is here and after a full term of teaching, the neck gets tight from talking, the shoulders from leaning over their desk marking papers, and on the computer even your fingers are working hard!

Book your massage at the beginning of the school holidays to feel relaxed for the rest of your holiday, free of tension and refreshed, ready for the next term.

Quick Tips

Helen

Tip #24:  Getting the Stitch When Working Out

Round shoulders are more likely to get crippling side stitches and problems with poor posture and headaches during working out as the muscle tension builds.  This pressing on the nerves is what’s to blame.  A balance of massage while strengthening your muscles for core stabilization is a must to prevent injuries.

Stretching the muscles does help but is not the full answer to preventing torn muscles and pain.  As the muscles become tight they get mini tears which gives you the pain and restriction.  So while walking, gym dance, and all other activities, massage keeps the muscles relaxed and working with ease.

Lara

Tip #28:  Are You Running the City to Bay?

Coming soon is the City to Bay Run.  Some are signed up to do the 6 km run while others are doing the 12 km run.  Many more children will be riding their bikes and Mums and Dads will be out with the pram.  The City to Bay starts in the morning.

Don’t forget to keep aches and pains at bay with remedial massage to put power into your muscles.  Tight, aching muscles mean you’re becoming overloaded and to continue running will cause more problems and will prevent you from starting the run.

To prevent a deterioration of muscles further after the running is complete, many sports people with injuries have a massage the day after the event.

Let us know of all the ways we can help you by completing this important, short survey that can be found at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/7G73X56

“Money and the Games It Plays on You” $$$$$$$

I am on a Mission!  I have done lots of courses around creating income to be debt free, have money in the bank, and no more worrying about that big bill coming in.  Is Money working for me or am I working for it — Money?

We all have it, but what you do with the problem is what I would like to take to the next level.

This is a 4 part series on “Money and the Games It Plays on You”.

Part 4 of a 4 Part Series

In the August Newsletter we talked about a game that you and Money play.  August was about asking you if you have paid off all the credit cards, car loans and are putting all that extra money into paying off a home loan. How are your little workers doing?  Are you making them work harder than you?  What type of advertising is working on you?

September is here; are you getting your little workers started on the road to give you your freedom?

Last week I heard how Dave paid off his last loan and realized he could retire.  So he went to work that day and told his boss, “Friday I am retiring; I don’t need to come to work anymore!”

The boss did not see that coming!  Now Dave and his wife are off to travel around Australia.

For me it means I can enjoy taking a weekend off and watch my 28 year old son who was playing country football in the reserve for Balaklava.  He has been playing football since he was old enough to play mini colts.  A few times he made the first or second finals over the years, and 2 years ago his team was in the grand final but couldn’t pull it off.

This month, 10/9/11, Michael’s team won by 19 points!  This is the first grand finale he has ever won and he was so happy and he proudly carried his 15-month old son to receive the medal that was placed around his son’s neck.  Do you remember how wonderful that feeling is when you won?  There was a party afterwards, and I have posted some picture up on my website at http://www.helenbrougham.com.au/. I hope you’ll check them out!

Why do I tell you this story?  This is about winning at what you want.  It may not be today or tomorrow but it will happen.

What else can you do when you’re not concerned with paying off a bill?  A lady had been working all her life and decided she did not want to be an educator full time but did not want to go back to working night duty either.  So she took a 7 week leave and very quickly found it was much more fun catching up with friends, having more time for her regular massage, and relaxing the whole afternoon instead of rushing to the next appointment.

How many little workers could you gather to be more powerful than you have been, to get that amount of freedom in your life?  And how would that help your relationships?  Would you need to work full-time or could you go part-time, being debt free?  Maybe even have the life you said would really be fabulous!  Or maybe an overseas holiday… You know you can have it!

You have not gotten there yet!  It is a work in progress and as our little workers are working for us, so can you have more of what you want.

I hope you have enjoyed “Money and the Games It Play on You”, the 4-part series.

Next month wait and see what is next! If you have something you would like us to cover, please send an email to me by clicking here.

It would be great to hear any comments or questions!  Are you doing the exercises?  What have you experienced as we’ve gotten up to the last part of this 4 part series?  Any questions or discoveries in your own life that you did not know about yourself before?
You don’t have to give your name when you complete the survey.  I can only help you by you sharing what is happening for you.

Pregnancy Massage

 

Remember that we also specialise in Pregnancy Massage.

I know remedial massage releases the aches and discomcomfort in your upper body but also smooths your aching feet, all while relaxing and energising you, leaving you feeling lighter and more comfortable.  It’s all about having a relaxed, easy-going, fabulous experience being pregnant, and having a natural, relaxed and easy birth — until you have experienced this level of fatigue and tireness it is hard to believe.  And this gives you a sleeping, 8 hours a night, happy and healthy baby and Mum!

This is not meant to alarm you but I have seen and heard many mums that are not coping well.  All the dreadful stories from TV are talking about how parents are not coping; the professionals know and can see all these reasons why, using big words for all the problems they have.  In the UK health system, these mums are getting massage once a week after birth.  What about Australia’s mums?

If you are fatigued before and while pregnant, you’ll be fatigued when you’re going home from the hospital.  You’re leaving yourself wide open to baby not sleeping, not feeding, sickness, being traumatised, a screaming baby and a worn out mum.  You’ll not be coping well — and this is all preventable.  Getting that low is a real struggle to pull yourself out of this hole, and others are told to take tablets but it’s just a Band Aid.

From my experience as a mum of 4 children, watching many, many mums over the last nearly 20 years as a professional massage practitioner, and massaging pregnant mums all the way to mums with small children, adult children, my own 3 grandchildren at their start in life, and many of my friends and family members — regular massage turned around these Mums’ recovery very quickly.

Are You Running the City to Bay Run?

Hey, I know you have been training hard and if it is important to keep your body from blowing out on you, then we need to address it asap… otherwise you could be in for real trouble!

Those sore shoulders, tight back, neck, stiff legs and cramping feet can become an all-out nightmare of injuries.  After care is important too!

If you can’t run, you will end up standing on the sidelines, left out of the team while they run.  Here’s the deal; if you’re feeling tight or sore, give us a call and come in.  We will give you a tune up and have you feeling like a 21 year old again!
