The Happy Business School helping to create a happier workplace culture

Carly Cannings was a high-flying solicitor in the midst of a great law career when she was struck down with rheumatoid arthritis when her daughter was only sixweeks-old. Developing rheumatoid arthritis, a chronic autoimmune condition which causes pain, tenderness and inflammation in joints, at the same time as becoming a new mum led Carly to develop a fascination with the power of mindset and how we are more in control of our own minds than we think.

Carly’s journey sparked an interest in positive psychology and the science of happiness, which got her thinking about how the power of happiness could help in the business world.

In 2022, Carly launched The Happy Business School, where she runs workshops and acts as a consultant to local and national businesses, encouraging employers to look after their employees’ happiness in the workplace.

Carly explains: “I want businesses to see happiness as a driver of success rather than a fluffy nice-to-have. It’s about more than ice-cream vans and free yoga classes. It’s about seeing the true value and power of happiness and the transformative effect it can have on a business and its people.”

Nerve regeneration comes to Bristol

James Scrimshaw BSc DC, Clinical Director and owner at CURA Clinical in Westbury-on-Trym continues to achieve very positive results using MBST Therapy, a therapeutic adaptation of MRI. Instead of forming an image, it stimulates a significant repair response in damaged tissue and joints. Medtech in Germany have adapted MBST to be able to help heal nerve damage/inflammation. Until now its focus has been on cartilage, bone, muscle, tendon and ligament.

Outcome Studies from Germany and Spain are showing very exciting results and an in vitro study titled Nuclear Magnetic resonance accelerates the regeneration of dorsal root ganglion neurons suggests that (NMRT) MBST may well be a suitable non-invasive treatment for peripheral nerve injuries such as neuropathy, nerve root damage and spinal stenosis, to name but a few indications.

James commented: “A patient I’m working with at the moment, who had spinal cord damage from a spinal operation, has seen a dramatic drop in pain and improvement in walking just two weeks post-MBST. This is a very exciting adaptation which opens up viable safe treatments to those in chronic nerve pain.”
