Reflexology now offered at Equilibrium

Youngsters and adult volunteers honoured at Scout Group AGM

By Brian Pountney of Equilibrium MST AS A THERAPIST working in Bradley Stoke for the last five years, I have been offering help treating a variety of problems including: muscle/joint pains, sciatica, headaches/migraines, insomnia, period pains, IBS and colic. These can all be treated with musculo-skeletal therapy (MST), which is a combination of massage and joint mobilisation (not manipulation) and/or Cranio-sacral therapy. In June 2017, my wife Barbara decided to put her knowledge and skills into the practice and, since then, has been providing two complementary therapies: Reiki and Indian Head Massage (IHM). Barbara is very pleased to announce that from September she will also be providing Reflexology! As there is usually more than one reason for a problem (for example, an emotional or stress

related factor), we will now be able to use a more holistic approach to our treatments with these extra therapies. Whether in isolation/combination with MST, this will give us the option of tailoring any treatment to your personal needs. Or, if you just want pampering or to treat a friend, Reiki, IHM and Reflexology are all great relaxing therapies (£5.00 off first treatment with our BSJ advert). Gift vouchers available! ● See our advert on page 12.

PARENTS, youngsters and adult volunteers gathered at Brook Way Activity Centre on Wednesday 12th July for the AGM and open evening of the 1st Bradley Stoke Scout Group. As well as the usual elements of the AGM, bringing together the Scout Council to agree the annual reports and nominate members of the executive, the group also celebrated quite a few awards, as shown in the ’roll of honour’ below. The Bronze, Silver and Gold Chief Scout Awards are the highest badges in Beavers, Cubs and Scouts respectively and represent work undertaken

during the youngsters’ time in each section. There was also an emotional award to Calum Morris, who received a personal award from the Chief Scout (Bear Grylls) after undergoing his fourth open heart surgery. His dad, John Morris, also received an award, recognizing his commitment as a Cub leader whilst also looking after his family. The evening was rounded off with a family BBQ giving parents and their children the opportunity to mix with those in the other sections, see what they do and meet the leaders and supporters of the group.
