HOMEOPATHY - For all ages

Alyson Larkworthy - LCHE, MARH, Registered Homeopath

Homeopathy and osteopathy complement each other perfectly. Osteopathy looks to treat the physical and mechanical imbalances in the body. Homeopathy is a natural medicine that looks to treat the emotional causes to physical problems, to boost the immune system and can address blocks to treatment or even an inherited susceptibility. Homeopathy can be used alongside osteopathy to work through the problem or on its own. Caroline Penn met Alyson Larkworthy through Herts Homeopaths and it became immediately obvious that they shared common aims and aspirations for their patients. Alyson is a mother of two; she trained at the Centre for Homeopathic Education where a dynamic 21st Century approach to homeopathy makes it very suitable for addressing the conditions of our modern age. Homeopathy Clinic:     Wednesdays  11:30am - 2:30pm

MASSAGE - Sports and Remedial Massage - Suitable for all ages

Kim Hutchinson - Sports and Remedial Massage Therapist  MISRM, LSSM (Dip)

SPORTS MASSAGE helps athletes to optimize their training and performance. By identifying potential soft tissue problems, (including muscles, ligaments and tendons), athletes are able to "fine" tune their training and avoid injury. The recovery period after training and performance is also accelerated. REMEDIAL MASSAGE helps to remove the stress of everyday life from the soft tissues of the body. The damaging effects of our lifestyle such as bad posture, computer/deskwork, DIY, gardening and stress, affect the muscles, ligaments & tendons. Using a variety of soft tissue manipulation techniques these effects can be alleviated to remove discomfort and restricted mobility. Supportive advice on exercise, stretching, training and performance are also given. Kim trained at the London School of Sports Massage and is a member of the Institute of Sport and Remedial Massage.

When is the right time to try?  -  THE ALEXANDER TECHNIQUE

Dr Annie Kaszina - PhD

Do you have recurring pain? Do you think your ongoing problems could be posture related? If the answer is “Yes”, the Alexander Technique may be just the thing for you. Although relatively little known, the Alexander Technique has been used successfully, world wide for over 100 years. It’s gentle, non-invasive and best of all shows you how you can make subtle postural changes that will take you out of an old ‘pain-set’. Dr Annie Kaszina has worked as an Alexander Teacher for the past 10 years, as well as being a NLP Master Practitioner. She says: “The Alexander Technique enables you to manage your body differently 24-7. Instead of recurrent pain and stiffness you can get back in control of your body, which means you will feel more relaxed and confident to go about your daily life and stay pain-free. You’re never too old (too young) or too set in your ways to benefit from the Alexander Technique.” Caroline Penn Osteopath DO(Hons), MSc, MSCC writes ‘Annie’s approach to Alexander is so gentle and immensely relaxing whilst educating the body in a very subtle, non-verbal way. I have practised yoga for many years and benefited hugely from pilates – but Alexander in Annie’s hands works without one being aware any work has been done! I thoroughly recommend it!’ To make an appointment please call the Penn Clinic on 01707 274148
