Complementary Therapy Treatments with Dan Stephens FCHP, FFHT, CNHC Registered

Aromatherapy - our sense of smell is linked directly to the limbic area of the brain, which is responsible for memory and emotion. This is why scents can transcend time and take you back to a strong memory. Can you think of one? Essential oils influence the brain to uplift, stimulate or relax you and each has intrinsic chemical properties that have researched health properties such as being antiviral, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory etc. Oils are blended for you on an individual basis and applied through massage or they can be blended into creams, lotions etc., for home use.

Sports & Advanced Deep Tissue Remedial & Therapeutic Massage with Trigger Point Therapy - As I have specialised in back pain, joint pain and accident trauma injury over the years, I work on the required areas of your body to help free up tight muscles and help you regain mobility and wellness. Trigger Point Therapy means that I can find areas where lactic acid has accumulated and release them, thereby freeing up the muscle tissue and joint. This is no fluff and  buff treatment and it is can be quite painful, although I work with you and use breathing techniques whilst I release the areas causing concern. I may also use useful essential oils in this treatment that are known to have analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties.

​

Neuroskeletal Re-Alignment Therapy (NSRT) - Brought to the UK in 1997 by Carole Preen, I have been trained by her. It is a non-manipulative therapy carried out through your clothing, which works so that your body re-aligns itself naturally, without any bone crunching or forced movement by me. The website for NSRT can be viewed here where you will find more information on how the therapy works and what to expect from a treatment. You will also be able to read published articles by Carole (the UK Founder) has had published over the years in various professional magazines and journals.

​

Reflexology - I trained in reflexology in 2007 as part of my diploma in Complementary Therapies. This is not a foot massage but a treatment where certain points on the feet correspond to body parts and organs, where they can be brought into balance and harmony. It is a very relaxing treatment and has immediate results. Carole's reflexology dissertation was done on someone with spinal cord injuries as she wanted to prove that reflexology has an effect even when someone cannot feel their feet. The results were unmistakable and you can read her dissertation our blog page. It just goes to show the efficacy of reflexology.

Reiki - Reiki is a type of energy healing and has been around thousands of years as with other therapies that move energy, such as acupressure and crystal therapy. Energy can stagnate in the body where there has been physical injury or even emotional pain. In time, these energy blocks can cause illness. Reiki treatments helps by improving the flow of energy around the body to enable relaxation, relieve pain, speed healing, and reduce other symptoms of illness. It is very gentle and non-invasive and is deeply relaxing to receive. I am also a verified practitioner with the UK Reiki Council as a CHP member and represent CHP at Reiki Council Meetings

​

Crystal Therapy  - this uses mostly quartz crystal to balance your body energy systems (known as the chakras, HEF and meridian system). Quartz has a frequency that can be measured and that is why it is used in watches to keep time and also used in the silicon chip. This same frequency can be used to move energy that has become "stuck", preventing good health and well-being. It is a very relaxing therapy to receive and you are encouraged to drift off to relaxing music. I will also use a range of other crystals to help balance your chakras and clear your energy field to leave you feeling balanced and generally feeling clearer and more focused. It is particularly good for emotional and mental issues but can be used in almost any instance that is required by your body and this includes alleviating physical pain. I have also been trained to use advanced techniques where necessary to help you achieve your goals towards health and wellbeing.
