Golfers & back pain
Did you know that about 25% - 30% of all golfers suffer from low back problems?
If you're a golfer,consider this back safety tip: bend your knees and keep your back straight when retrieving the ball from the green or when teeing off.

Fluids
Are you drinking enough fluids?
A good indicator is the color of your urine. Light, pale urine usually indicates good hydration where as dark urine indicates poor hydration. Consider making a habit of drinking 8 -10 glasses (8 fluid oz) of water each day. ( More Wellness tips)

What is Acupuncture?
By Bonnie Deyaeger RAc
(Register Licensed Acupuncturist.)
If You Haven't Had Your Shake, You Haven't Finished your Workout! By Norm Danniels

The art of inserting very fine, solid needles into points in the body to open blockages, warm channels and help relieve pain. This then may improve mobility and has been shown to help with improving ones memory. A wonderful way to bring  balance to the whole mind, body and spirit. The acupuncture’s intent is to promote health, stop pain, relieve suffering and calm the mind.

What you consume immediately following your workout is almost as important as the workout itself. Every time you exercise, you deplete a significant amount of your stored muscle glycogen (carbohydrates) as well as your amino acid pool, and the stress of that exercise breaks down and damages your muscle cells. The good news is that those muscle cells grow bigger and stronger (provided they are properly nourished)...

What is Life Coaching?
By Sue Chambers,
Certified Life Coach, Williams Lake, BC

“My Dad died of high blood pressure at 50, I know I am next.” How many times have you heard someone tell you that the health concerns of their elders would surely be visited upon them? It may come as a relief and a surprise to know that the relatively new science of epigenetics reveals that belief systems have more to do with our health than does our genetics. [ Read More...]
Life Coaching is a new, relaxed way of helping us look at things from a different perspective. Allowing us to answer the hard questions and find out what is holding us back from the life we want.  It is a one on one relationship to determine goals, set time frames to achieve them and show what has been stopping us from being successful.  Coaching makes us accountable to ourselves and to our lives.  [ Read More...]

What is Cranio-Sacral Reflexology by Maria Carr

Classifiedssand News

Cranio sacral is the name given to the
approach to osteopathy developed by
Dr Sutherland 100 years ago. He saw
how the bone structure of the skull
permitted slight motion and noted that
restriction of normal motion due to injury,
trauma or disease could affect health.
The Reflexologist can use cranio-sacral
therapy with conventional reflexology,
since the bones of the feet reflect the skull
and sacrum exactly. By using the gentle
techniques of Cranio-Sacral Reflexology,
the practitioner is able to release the
strain patterns found and support the
body in its attempt to return to an ideal
state of balance and function for healing
to progress. [ Read More....]

The Death of a Pet
by Linda Buhler (Colour Me Healthy)
Have you lost a Beloved animal companion? If you are reading this Article, you probably have. It’s tough to cope with isn’t it? Often it’s made even harder by the fact that in most societies you are made to feel it’s foolish to grieve. “It was only an animal ”you can always get another one.
Uh-huh. An animal that shared your life is a family member and.... [ Read More...]
