My case study is a 55 year old female suffering from asthma. Although she rarely has asthma attacks, when she first came to see me, she complained that she was often short of breath, couldnt walk very far without feeling exhausted and gasping for air.
I suggested we started with weekly treatments which would become two weekly treatments. I treated her for probably at least eighteen months and she leant how to relax, control her breathing better and seemed to be doing more exercise as well, which was a good sign. I concentrated on the lung and trachea reflex areas with also the thoracic spine and breast lymphatic areas.
She had her regular check up with the doctor who was astonished to find that her lungs were completely clear, no congestion and wanted to know what she had been doing!
She now comes for treatments every two or three weeks and is able to exercise regularly, without the use of an inhaler and all the symptoms that she was complaining of, have all gone away.

Greetings,
A very happy summer to you all. At long last we can feel some warmth and know it will be here for a little while at least!
In our business, its very easy to think that patients are thinner on the ground in the summer; its true people are happier and healthier generally but people still have problems and need help. So we have to think of innovative ways to market our business. Maybe look to doing some outdoor mini treatments at one of the many outdoor events that are held through the summer. We just have to be more creative and look to our local communities for ideas.
For those of you who didnt get to Montreal to experience the RAC Conference last November, you can attend the NSARP Conference which is being held in Kentville, NS on Saturday 27th September. It looks a very interesting line-up and If you register before the end of August you can save some money.
Check out the dates at the end of the email with all the upcoming courses, including, for the first time, a two day course on indian head massage. Last, but not least, dont forget to look at the upcoming course dates and be sure to recommend us if you know of anyone wanting to learn reflexology.
Enjoy the weather!

8 To Be Great outlines the top (guess how many) eight principles of success, based on ten years of research and interviews with 500 of the world's business "greats." Packed with practical advice from people who have reached the top, this solidly organized book is a good guide to success in any field. 8 To Be Great is authentic, motivating and factual, without off-putting hype. And it's even funny.
