Riviera-osteopathy

I did my fertility massage course just a year ago and this month we have welcomed the first "baby" into the world... and today I walk into my practice to see a client waiting for me with a bunch of flowers... pregnancy number 7. So happy for them

Job satisfaction... another client is pregnant. I love my fertility work and the delight it brings me and my clients. Another little miracle entering the world. Over the moon.

Every year on the last Saturday of March (Worldwide Endometriosis Day® ), Worldwide EndoMarch calls to action and unites the world to bring awareness for endometriosis. That day is TODAY.

If you or a loved one suffers from this debilitating condition, here are a few things you can do to ease the pain...

1) Get an abdominal-sacral massage (from someone like myself). Massaging the pelvic muscles can help relax them and reduce inflammation and cramping. I can teach you how to perform self-massage too and how to apply castor oil packs to help break down the excessive tissues associated with endometriosis. It is a remedy that has been used for hundreds of years.

NB Pelvic massages should only be used before the menstrual cycle; it may aggravate symptoms if you use it as a treatment during your period.

2) Consume anti-inflammatory foods such as
tumeric, ginger, chia seeds, bone broth, green leafy veg, blueberries... I can highly recommend Wild Nutritions TurmaForte® Full Spectrum Turmeric

3) AVOID
dairy, alcohol, caffeine, processed foods and refined sugars

4) Drink ginger tea to ease the associated nausea

Riviera-osteopathy updated their business hours.

Today is International Women’s Day and so today I am doing what I can to try and make a positive difference for women; by putting women’s gynaecological and digestive health on the agenda.

Be it painful periods, endometriosis, fibroids, infertility or digestive complaints such as IBS, constipation and also the menopause.

I am offering the first 5 people who PM me a consultation followed by an abdominal-sacral massage and hopefully plan to improve your complaint at a discount of 50 euros for the 90 minute session.

Did you know that March is ovarian cancer awareness month?
It ranks as 5th in cancer deaths of women.
Last week the Mirror newspaper published an report of a lady whose ovarian cancer was diagnosed as the menopause, exactly 2 years earlier the Telegraph newspaper reported exactly the same story (different lady).
Do you know the signs? Please read them and be aware as they can be easily overlooked.
