Why remain stressed when you can try this?

So NHS staff are in the news again, high levels of stress are causing them to take more and longer periods of time off work to recover leaving our hospitals understaffed, causing the remaining staff to become more stressed, and agency staff who are brought in to cover the gap in staff appear to be paid more which is putting a stress on cash available to the NHS to pay for treatments, research etc and on and on it goes like a nightmare.  I'm sure this situation isn't just limited to our medical professionals.  I'm sure you could quote a similar situation close to home too.  Having worked at Boots for many years, this scenario seems all too familiar in many respects.  Look at how stress affects us;

Trying not to take a too simplistic view, wouldn't reducing our stress levels, or learning to manage it better in the very first make alot of sense?  Rather than addressing it and not allowing it to spiral out of control, we tend to belittle things in this country, say we don't have the time, sweep it under the carpet, say treatments are too expensive, battle on with the old Dunkirk Spirit, dismiss it as being a normal state of being' until your head implodes, you breakdown, however you wish to describe it, something snaps and the cost of getting you well is many times more than if you'd taken steps yourself to enable you to continue to function in a healthy state.

If I was to say, why aren't you having regular massages, 9 times out of 10 people will quote at least 1  of the excuses above, I'd bet money on it.  We just don't place a high enough value on our own health in this country.  People think nothing of spending several hundred quid a week on take out designer coffee to enable them to get through a stress inducing job (ironic since copious amounts of it causes  the nervous system to become over stimulated, blood pressure to rise as the heart beats more.....ooh yes drink yourself to even poorer health that really works but people do) but again ask them if they have regular treatments that will help them manage their stress.....BOOM, excuse after excuse.  Stop one coffee a day over the week, and you could afford to have that treatment that could make the difference  to your physical and mental health it really is that simple.


So here's the deal, a double whammy,  2 things to help you manage your stress levels in one little package.  I'm combining a gentle yet effective Fitness Pilates session with a deeply relaxing & soothing back massage, 2 ways to help your mind, body rest, relax, rejuvenate and reinvigorate.

Each treatment lasts 75mins, beginning with Pilates & ending with Massage.  Pilates to work and warm up the muscles, release tension, improve the mobility and flexibility of muscles meaning that when the massage starts, you're already warm, so the massage will be even more effective at alleviating stress, tension, held in tightness.  Doesn't missing having one take out drink less sound worth it when your body is going to receive this amount of TLC that it so richly deserves?

Paying for 3 monthly sessions in advance works out more cost effective too, costing £120 whereas a single session is £45.  Pilates, Massage, tension relief, stress reduced, improved sleep, increased flexibility, improved immune system, lower blood pressure, all this and more, aren't you worth it?

Vouchers are also available for Xmas if you know of someone who would value such an amazingly therapeutic experience.  Email me synergy_therapies@icloud.com or contact my mobile 07794084666 to experience this stress reducing holistic experience yourself and embark on a path of wellbeing and mindfulness as we move into 2017.
