Berkhamsted Chiropractic Clinic Fidgeting

We’ve all done it, tapped our toe in frustration, eager to be gone and off doing something more interesting. We’ve crossed our legs and moved our foot in timing with the music appreciating the beat as tho through the sole of our shoe. And we’ve jiggled our leg in expectation, ready to jump up and get going.

Fidgeting, we all do it.

The Pursuit of Mindfulness Living

Berkhamsted Chiropractic Clinic The Pursuit of Mindfulness

Modern Life is anything but Simple. We are in an age of expansion not seen before and doesn’t look like slowing anytime soon. We juggle multiple roles, chase our never ending to do lists and many of us are entrapped in the web of technology as it advances and expands and intrudes into every corner of our existence, where not even the bedroom or the bathroom provide solace, anxious we’ll miss the latest blog or txt or ‘like’. The expectation we place on ourselves and those imposed upon us have never been greater – and the very things that may serve to help us maintain balance including solitude, down time, ordinary pleasures, connecting with nature and true connection (no device) time with family and friends are fast becoming redundant in our over stimulated, distraction laden daily lives.

Due to the recent changes AXA PPP have chosen to enforce upon their chiropractic practitioner agreements William Tomlin, Kevin Pistak and Lauren Comley  have chosen to de-register as providers. This means you will no longer be able to claim for your treatments with them through your AXA PPP health insurance.

Amy Mawson and Darry Tribe are both still working as registered AXA PPP chiropractors.

Soft Tissue Therapy: Sports Massage or Deep Tissue Massage. What's the difference and who is it for?!

Berkhamsted Chiropractic Clinic Rebecca Ash Sports Massage Therapist

The 'Sports Massage Association' defines Soft Tissue Therapy as "the application of soft tissue techniques with the aim of managing, manipulating and rehabilitating muscles, tendons and ligaments” - which means all the soft tissue of the musculoskeletal system.

Sports Massage and Deep Tissue Massage are types of Soft Tissue Therapy.  Sports massage uses deep AND subtle techniques which is why it is also referred to as a Deep Tissue Massage.  A Sports Massage Therapist and a Deep Tissue Therapist are ultimately both Soft Tissue Therapists and will tailor the therapy according to the individual client’s requirements at that specific time.  The variety of techniques used in Soft Tissue Therapy are used to search out restrictions, initiate change, restore function and alleviate pain. 

You do not need to be a sports performer to benefit from Soft Tissue Therapy.
