T

hai Massage aims to improve the client’s health and general well-being, whether young or old. As we age our bodies become less resilient, our joints wear and our skin becomes fragile. The masseuse must vary their technique to suit the age and bodily condition of the client.

Massage for the elderly involves gentle stroking, kneading, and the application of light pressure on specific points. This can help promote the natural lubrication of joints, which greatly assists the pain management of patients suffering from the stiffness of arthritis. Seniors require the application of just enough pressure on the joints and soft tissue to

make the massage safe for them while still retaining its effectiveness.

Those who undergo regular massage can also expect to sleep better which allows the body more time to regenerate and repair itself, resulting in an overall state of greater well-being. They also benefit by gaining an increased range of motion and improved muscle condition, better posture and mobility.

Thai Oil Massage may be a good option to consider for older folk as it will moisturise the skin and restore some elasticity to it. It is also inherently softer and gentler than the Traditional Thai Massage.

Bowen Techinque

T

he Bowen Techinque is a system of muscle and tissue therapy achieved by a series of very gentle moves addressing the fascia around the muscle.

Gentle enough to use on a newborn baby or the frail elderly patient, the Bowen Technique is being successfully practised in conjunction with conventional medicine.

Gay Jarvis, a registered senior Bowtech instructor, who has a successful clinic in Palmerston North, says healing occurs at many different levels within the body. “The Bowen Technique addresses the entire body by restoring balance via the autonomic nervous system. The

technique allows the body to heal itself with minimal intervention.

The Bowen Technique is a “less is best modality”.

Usually only three or four consecutive treatments are required, one week apart. The success rate is remarkable. Bowenwork can be beneficial in a wide range of situations.

This technique is simple to learn. Courses are held in Palmerston North.

For further information contact Gay Jarvis, 66 Guy Avenue, Palmerston North 4410 Ph 06 3552919 Email: gayjarvis@xtra.co.nz

Gentle, fast and effective treatment for many conditions Suitable for all ages from the New born to the Elderly.

Historical Hospital

Physiotherapy Hand Clinic

B

A

elverdale Hospital was first established by Sr. Beatrice Brooks in 1910, she was sponsored by four local General Practitioners who operated at Wanganui Base Hospital free of charge.

Private surgery gave these doctors an income which helped to subsidise their work in the public sector.

Whilst changing hands several times, Belverdale Hospital remained a private surgical hospital.

Southern Cross Trust purchased the building in 1986 and refurbished it in 1987. A new hospital was then constructed in 1993.

Wanganui’s Southern Cross Hospital was closed in July 2000. A group of specialists ensured Wanganui retained the services of a private hospital and in February

2001 Belverdale Hospital Ltd was officially opened.

Now days…

Belverdale Hospital is a 17 bed private surgical hospital, with a modern operating theatre and endoscopy suite. It has a quiet central location, close to the CBD, amentiites and nearby motels. We have 15 single rooms each with an ensuite, telephone and TV. We are able to accommodate parents staying with children in our larger family room.

Belverdale Hospital’s surgical specialists, management and staff are committed to providing quality health care in a professional environment, complementing the public health sector by offering the option to have surgery privately.

t Physiotherapy Hand Clinic we specialise in the treatment of injuries to the elbow, forearm, hand and wrist.

Lynne and Juliet are both physiotherapists and have undergone post-graduate training in hand therapy. We are pleased to welcome Tom

to our team, an occupational therapist with a very keen interest in and therapy and currently undertaking postgraduate training in this area. We provide hands-on treatment for a wide range of conditions and injuries; as well as providing exercise, advice and splints.

Optical Coherence Tomography at Wanganui Eye Care What is OCT, or Optical Coherence Tomography?

Optical Coherence Tomography, or OCT, is a diagnostic tool that creates a cross sectional map of the retina with unparalleled accuracy. You could think of OCT as an ultrasound for your eye, only using light instead of sound.

The procedure is noninvasive and requires no physical contact with the eye.

braces and now Dr Jason Cliff, an Otago graduate who has worked for us for the past 3 years, is able to offer “ClearCorrect” an alternative to fixed braces.

ClearCorrect is a series of clear, custom made,

removable aligners that gradually straignten your teeth as you wear them, each aligner moving your teeth just a little bit at a time. ClearCorrect is not suitable for everyone however, and by booking a consultation we can advise

you on which option is the better one for you!

Dr Glenn Kirk, visiting surgeon, holds a clinic at our practice once a month for all of your oral surgery needs.

We welcome new patients and any enquiries.
