Learning Tai Chi

Filed under: Sports,United Kingdom — Tags: , , , , — needahand @ 12:15 pm

Learning Tai Chi – It is always great to learn something new and if it also has health benefits then it is even better. One of those pastimes that has just grown and grown in popularity in recent years is Tai Chi, an historic martial art that has been around for many centuries. Part of Tai Chi’s appeal to the masses is that it is so slow moving and sedate that everybody feels that they could manage it with ease. No hectic, fast paced movements with Tai Chi, just controlled movements and exercises that can greatly help with such things as stress and anxiety and can also improve flexibility, balance, posture, concentration and spacial awareness. Tai Chi is also known to help with pain relief and may aid recovery from a number of illnesses. Tai Chi is great for meditation and is often called the moving meditation because pupils are actually moving as they are meditating, albeit slowly. Tai Chi is also a great way to meet new people and generally improve your lifestyle in a safe relaxed way. Tai Chi can be used as a form of self-defence so has added benefits apart from those relating to health and wellness. If you have a Tai Chi school near you, it would be a great idea to get signed up and try it for yourself some time soon. If you find that you want to take things a little further you can graduate to the self-defence side of Tai Chi and even learn some disciplines which involve the use of weapons.

Visit a Chiropractor

Filed under: England,Scotland,Services,Uncategorized,United Kingdom — Tags: , , , , , — needahand @ 2:29 pm

Visit a Chiropractor – If you have a persistent sports injury, have had a car accident and suffered whiplash, or simply have a backache that won’t go away, you could try visiting your local chiropractor to see if they can help you with the pain. Traditional treatments that you are likely to receive from your GP or from the NHS, may not be all that effective in dealing with this kind of problem, so many people seek the help of a chiropractor or osteopath to try to get it sorted. Chiropractors mostly deal with pain which is related to the spine and practise manipulation of the vertebrae in order to alleviate this. Before making an appointment with a chiropractor, make sure they are registered with the General Chiropractic Council, which they should be by law, being registered will give you a guarantee of good practice. When you first contact a chiropractor, they will book you in for a consultation, so that they can get to grips with your specific complaint and get an idea about your lifestyle, in order to move forward with a treatment plan. After this consulation, you can start to get your chiropractic treatments and get yourself free from pain. Additional treatments may also be available in the form of shockwave therapy or laser therapy which can have amazing results on sports injuries and back problems.

Zumba Classes Are More Fun – Are you always wanting to do more exercise but get bored with most forms of exercise? It could be that Zumba is the thing for you. A single Zumba class could expend between 500 and 1000 calories, and while you are losing those calories you are also having fun. Attending any Zumba session and you will notice the happy smiling faces of all the people who are participating, that is because Zumba is just so much fun to do, you won’t even realise that you are getting fit and burning off all that excess fat. You will generally find someone holding Zumba classes in pretty much any decent sized town in the UK and even in many larger villages. Look at your local leisure centre or village hall and somebody will likely be holding a Zumba class at least one day a week. Anyone of any age can join in and apart from the exercise, you are sure to meet lots of new people and widen your social circle. Zumba moves are taken from numerous dancing styles mostly originating from Latin America. If you are really keen you might want to learn to be an instructor and hold your own classes to teach others, you might even make a bit of cash at the same time. One step at a time though eh?

Why Not Try Reflexology

Filed under: news,Services,Uncategorized,United Kingdom — Tags: , , , , , — needahand @ 6:10 am

Why Not Try Reflexology? – Have you got aches and pains that have been bothering you for years and no matter how many paracetamol you take or how many trips to the doctors surgery you make, you just cannot seem to get any relief? Then it might be time to try something completely different. Have you ever considered reflexology as a possible solution to your problem? Reflexology is grouped in with the alternative therapies along with the likes of acupuncture, acupressure and aromatherapy, but it is a bit unique in that it is un-intrusive and at the very least you will benefit from a nice relaxing massage which should de-stress you and make you feel a lot better even if it does not solve the main problem. There is no doubt that reflexology does not work for everyone and the only way you are going to find out if it works for you is to try it. Generally speaking you should only need a couple of reflexology sessions to find out if it is right for you, so it is not going to cost you a fortune to get some enlightenment. How much does a reflexology session cost? Well on average you should expect to pay anything from £20 to £50 depending on the time of the session, the type of reflexology, the area you live in and the reflexologist that you choose. How does reflexology work? Basically reflexology involves applying pressure to various points (generally on the feet or hands) which connect to certain organs or parts of the body, in order to restore any imbalances. Results are often immediate for instance in the case of persistent headaches, which may disappear while the treatment is being applied.
