July 2008 – Health Tips E-Newsletter

INFORMATION ABOUT MY PRACTICE

Do you want to look thinner and feel great this summer? Try my massage-bodywork services to help you on your path of looking trimmer and feeling less pain! My services will STRETCH your body like it has never been stretched before to release (the source) pain so that when your session is completed you will feel rejuvenated, more upright, and more in your natural expanded posture (and potentially look thinner!). My practice includes traditional Thai massage, Structural Integration, the Rossiter System, and Neuromuscular Therapy.

In June and July, I attended monthly meetings with the United Veterans’ Council of San Diego and the San Diego’s Veterans Administration Community Advisory Board to introduce the idea of incorporating therapeutic/medicinal massage-bodywork therapy services as another holistic approach to healing in the government healthcare system for military personnel. The response was very supportive! Read more about my community project on my website.

My website is very informative, so please visit them to learn more about my services, massage benefits and tips, my schedule and calendar, and more!

Also, I am giving free evening talks/demos from July through September. The first talk/demo is about the Structural Integration (SI) 10-Series on Tuesday evening, July 22nd, at People’s Co-Op starting at 6:15 PM. If you never experienced SI, it is definitely something to do if you want to transform your life by getting your body back to its natural alignment that allows you to move more freely. When I received the 10-Series in 1996, it was life-changing experience for me to where I was about an inch and half taller and the series corrected my walking and running gaits, and I have maintained this posture even to this day!

If you have any questions about my services, please, call me! I look forward to working with you at your next appointment – soon!

QUOTE OF THE MONTH

“Basically the major pains of the body, such as heartburn, rheumatoid joint pain, back pain, colitis pain, migraine headaches, fibromyalgic pain, even angina pain are signs of dehydration in the human body.” – Fereydoon Batmanghelidj

BODY, MIND, SPIRIT TIP

Are you in pain? Overweight or want to lose some weight? Feel lethargic and tired throughout the day? Do you sometimes binge on your “favorite” food? All of a sudden get really hot and start sweating and you’re not exercising? Do you have high blood pressure, kidney stones, depression, diabetes, chronic fatigue syndrome (along with other ailments, like cancer, arthritis, allergies, etc.)? Well, for one, you are dehydrated. Many of the clients who visit me are dehydrated especially in the summer. I can feel it when I work on your connective tissue and muscles. People say, “I drink water all the time!”. The question is, HOW MUCH? Take your bodyweight and divide that by two. This is the MINIMUM amount of water in ounces you should be drinking daily. YEP. Start drinking (now and) throughout the day – when you wake-up to before dinner. If you do this (faithfully) and you will definitely feel the difference. Trust me and try it! If you want more information about daily water consumption and a hydration calculator, read below about an excellent book resource.

RESOURCE OF THE MONTH

Here’s an EXCELLENT book about water, Your Body’s Many Cries for Water, by Fereydoon Batmanghelidj. If this book does not convince you about the importance of water, then nothing will!  This is his website, www.watercure.com.
