New skate park site approved „„ By Georgia O’Connor-Harding HALSWELL MAY now get two skate parks – one in Halswell Domain and the other in Knights Stream Sports Park. The Riccarton-Wigram Community Board decided at an extraordinary meeting last Wednesday to give the green light for a skate park in Halswell Domain, and recommend that a smaller one be sited at Knights Stream Sports Park.
About 600 people signed a petition to try and stop the skate park. But another petition saw almost 800 people sign in support of the skate park. Community board chairman Mike Mora said: “We had to make a decision and it is the young people we have got to think about because adults tend to think about themselves as far as city council facilities are concerned.� The skate park in Halswell
Domain will be next to the playground. Mr Mora said the community board had not received any “flak� for recommending a skate park in Knights Stream Sports Park. “I think it will be an advantage for families to have a facility so close,� he said. Twelve deputations were made at the meeting from community members, including children from Halswell schools, residents
and youth workers. Community board member Jimmy Chen said while the process was open and transparent, he was disappointed where the skate park was being sited in Halswell Domain. He lost an amendment proposal to seek an alternative location in the Halswell Domain. He said the decision ignored the voices of the Halswell Domain Action Group and those in support of a skate park in an al-
ternative location in the Halswell Domain. A further petition opposing the placement of a skate park in Westlake Reserve was signed by 204 residents. Halswell Community Project spokeswoman Chrys Horn said the Halswell Domain location was the best outcome. HAVE YOUR SAY: Are you pleased with the skate park decision.

Tuesday August 2 2016 FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK
THIS WEEK we have a very special guest in the paper – Maleficent. I’m led to believe by the little people in my life that she is rather scary but also quite cool. Reporter Georgia O’ConnorHarding spoke to Tyra Adlam who portrays the character while doing charity work. Apparently children have very mixed reactions when they see her. Pages 10 and 11 have the interview. Well, after all the petitions both against and for a Halswell skate park, it appears the suburb may get two. We have the latest update on page 1. Over on our schools page, on 7, we have news from Halswell Residential College and some great achievements from Villa Maria College. Hei kona – Shelley Robinson

Mona Vale on target
In Brief MATTRESS FIRE Fire Services were called to Avonhead after a mattress was set on fire at a party last Friday. A spokesman said it was initially a rubbish fire before the mattress was thrown on top. One appliance was sent from Harewood Fire Station. The fire lasted 24min.
Fashion By Georgia O’Connor-Harding THE MONA Vale homestead is on track to open in October. Mona Vale was closed after sustaining damage in the February, 2011 earthquake. But progress has now been made on the fernery, bathhouse, gatehouse, homestead and lodge. City council heritage rebuild programme manager Richie Moyle said an opening celebration will be held when the fit-out and compliance is completed for the Mona Vale homestead. He said repairs and strengthening is going well. So far construction of the gatehouse is 50 per cent Vicki Buck complete and the fernery will be finished in October. Repairs on the fernery began last week. A city council release said Dominion Construction Ltd will fix the damage to the building and strengthen it to 67 per cent of the New Building Standard.
DOOR-KNOCKERS COMING TO HALSWELL Christchurch Community Response door-knockers are coming to Halswell and are looking for volunteers. It is a community initiative that aims to distribute information about Halswell to newcomers, identify people who may need some support and check that people are okay. Anyone interested in volunteering will be partnered up with an experienced door-knocker and training will be provided.

The exhibition will be running from August 6 to October 22.
PROGRESS: City council heritage rebuild programme manager Richie Moyle said an opening celebration is planned in October for the Mona Vale homestead.

Positive change comes through empowerment
Hoon Hay Interaction Programme for Parents and Youngsters co-ordinator Anne Galloway writes about empowering parents and children I BELIEVE that positive change can happen when individuals, families and communities are
empowered to fulfil the potential each have. In my current position as co-ordinator of the HIPPY programme, I have seen what an empowered community of parents from a variety of cultures throughout the Halswell, Addington, Spreydon and Hoon Hay areas can achieve. HIPPY is a home-based pro-
GUTTED: Another fire, this time in Woolston, has kept firefighters and investigators busy. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
Spate of blazes keeps firefighters busy By Mark Thomas – Fire Risk Management Officer THERE HAVE been a number of quite serious fires in the city this week. And this column is being written, hurriedly, before I head off to one of them. The deliberate fire set in the empty building on Hereford St last Friday was another example of our firefighters being put in danger by the reckless and criminal actions of some idiot. The fire was on an upper floor and the only way to get to it was from inside. This meant climbing stairwells with charged fire hoses in a building with structural safety issues that was already compromised by earthquake damage even before the fire damage occurred. In this case, the fire crews did a brilliant job in restricting the fire to the floor of origin.
It’s just that they should never have had to. Last Saturday, we had an incident where a young woman was burnt trying to encourage a fire in a drum at a property in Hoon Hay that was dying down by throwing petrol on to it. These type of incidents are actually not all that rare. Even in winter, petrol products freed into the air invisibly vaporise, leaving a surrounding mixture of highly-flammable gas that is many times larger than a pool or splash of fuel. On meeting an ignition source – in this case the already burning fire – the vapour cloud ignites. Sometimes with horrendous results. Not a nice way to remember a party, where alcohol consumption can overcome normal common sense and influence a decision that, in hindsight, might just be seen as ‘unwise’.

Readers respond to the article on the Halswell Skate and Recreation Park Barbara and Bob Morton: My husband Bob and I, would like to endorse the city council’s preferred location for the proposed Halswell Skate and Recreation Park to be sited in Knights Stream Sports Park, as we feel this is the ideal place for it to be. After reading the front page article in the latest Western News that outlined the advantages of this site for example co-coordinating a skate park with other facilities such as a “learn to ride bike track” basketball and sports facilities, we concluded that this site could become a great place for the youth of Halswell, without being contentious to local residents. J Wilson: The article Skate park decision soon in the Western News states that the nearest residential area is Whincops Rd. Looking at the proposed site it seems to be directly beside and within a residential area as housing goes from Whincops Rd right up to the Knights Stream Sports Park. It appears to be misleading readers to say the nearest
children work together for 15min a day with story books, puzzles, and learning games. Research following families who have been on the programme is revealing multiple benefits; children who are ready to learn and settle at school, who score better on measures of literacy and numeracy and parents who are more involved in school activities and often seek further
education for themselves. When we as a community work together to nurture our young people, to actively demonstrate to them that we value and treasure them, we are building a place where young people and families all can and will thrive. “Ahakoa he iti he pounamu.” (Even though it is small it is a treasure.)
residential area is Whincops Rd. I would think the noise etc from a skate park would certainly impact on value of housing adjacent to the proposed skate park.
and enjoy it more. Another reason is Halswell has lots of sports fields, multiple playgrounds, a mini ride-able railway and a new library. It seems like a place for everybody but teenagers who want to hang out with friends and skate. Shouldn’t Halswell be a place for everybody? Young kids, youths, families and elders. Shouldn’t it be a place for everybody to enjoy themselves and have a good time? Possible locations I think the skate park could be are Scott Park, Westlake Reserve and the best Halswell Domain.
Bowen Hodgson: Should we have a skate park in Halswell? Personally I believe we should have a skate park in Halswell. I’m saying this coming from a teenager’s perspective. Having grown up in Halswell for the last 10 years, there really isn’t much to do from a teenager’s perspective. Yes, there is a pool but that is only open for half the year in the summer and playgrounds for younger kids, but for those who want to skate, there aren’t a lot of good skate spots. And the few good spots there are, you are at risk of being hit by a car or smashing into somebody walking by. I understand that some people are worried that some teenage skaters will get cause trouble, trash the place and just be a place for “the non-desirables”. But coming from a skater, to have a skate park in Halswell that I can walk or skate would be awesome. I would look after it so myself and others can use it
Jeanette and Graham Anderson: The skate park should not be in Knights Stream Sports Park. This park is too far away from the centre of Halswell. The report in the Western News states that the nearest residential area is Whincops Rd. Have the city councillors looked at this area recently? The residences in Denali St and Richmond Ave are adjacent to Knights Stream Sports Park, not 190m away. We agree with a “learn to ride” bicycle track, netball and rugby facilities as indicated on the landscape plan we received a few weeks ago.
Thanks Canterbury for your continued support

Journey of discovery in the great outdoors A HEI HEI resident has been on the adventure of a lifetime after he earned a scholarship to attend the outdoor education programme Outward Bound last month. Hamish Reid, 27, has been busy swimming before sunrise, traversing high ropes, climbing rock faces while blind folded and spending time in the Queen Charlotte Sound. Mr Reid received the scholarship to Outward Bound as part of his prize package for being named Master Builders Apprentice of the Year. He works for Leighs Construction based in the city. Mr Reid said that while he was prepared for the physical challenges, he wasn’t prepared for sharing a dorm room with “14 other blokes”. “I didn’t pack my nose plug,” he said. But Mr Reid said he has been inspired by the Outward Bound programme and is planning to become more involved in the Hei Hei community. “I would love to be a scout leader . . . coach a sports team, start to give back to the commu-

nity. By caring for our environment, we are effectively caring for our community’s future generations,” he said. One of the key experiences for Mr Reid was a “solo experience” where he was left alone with limited food and shelter for three days. This was so he could spend time writing and thinking about future goals. ‘It is not too often in life you
get an opportunity to do absolutely nothing for three days. No contact, nothing to do, just you and your thoughts,” he said. During his three weeks away, he realised he had a passion for protecting the natural environment. “Seeing our beautiful country up close and personal everyday makes me even more keen to get stuck in and make a change,” he said.
MUSICAL: Sam Jury, of Ilam, accompanied the NASDA artists at Showbiz Christchurch’s Way Off Broadway performance held PHOTO: DONNA ALLEY recently.
Way off Broadway brings out talent SHOWBIZ Christchurch held its popular Way Off Broadway show earlier this month. The bi-monthly concert is an open-mic night for performers, held at the NASDA studios at the Ara Institute of Canterbury in the central city. For each performance, nine singers individually took to the stage to sing musical theatre accompanied by the piano. The singers were accompanied by pianist Sam Jury.
The recent performance included songs from well-known musicals, such as My Fair Lady, Les Miserables, Dreamgirls, Jekyll and Hyde and Willy Wonka. There will be two more Way Off Broadway performances this year with a duet evening on September 9 and further solo performances on December 11. The performances are unauditioned.

Special needs school becomes co-ed IT HAS been confirmed that Halswell Residential College will become a co-educational campus. The decision announced last week by Education Minister Hekia Parata was welcomed by staff, students and their families. The college first applied for co-educational – also known as mixed-gender education – status in 2012. Halswell Residential College provides special education within a residential setting for students with an intellectual impairment. Board of Trustees chairman Lois Chick (below) said she was pleased they would no longer have to turn students away because they were female. “Since January 2014, we have been able to enrol up to five girls at Halswell Residential College,” she said “However, we were still officially a single sex boys’ school, which disadvantaged female students.” Mrs Chick said the classrooms and campus will reflect how life really is with both males and females being part of the school

Tyra Adlam aka Maleficent
Playing the villain for charity Tyra Adlam has a second life as one Disney’s most-loved villains, Maleficent. Georgia O’Connor-Harding spoke to her about the reaction she gets when undertaking charity work dressed as the “mistress of all evil” Why did you decide to dress up as Maleficent? A lot of it had to do with being drawn to gothic characters. Characters that are crazy pale, with colourful eyes decked out in black. Maleficent is very commanding and powerful. I have so much more confidence in my real life now after dressing as this character. What was it like when you made your first public appearance as Maleficent? It was Halloween and I ended up going on a bus trip and having a great time. I didn’t realise New Zealand had these Armageddon expos. When I went to my first expo I had no idea what to expect. I spent the first hour posing for photos. The reaction was staggering. My character encourages strength and power. Meeting like-minded people in the community was great, too. I got into charity events through that. The goal now, with my friend Darth Vader, is to do as much good as possible. Our
characters both know what it’s like to suffer. We both want to give back to people who need help – there is nothing in this world like it. What events do you attend as Maleficent? I go to Armageddon, and do charity and not-for-profit work with the Christchurch Faerie Circle. What do you do as a day job? I have worked at the Christchurch Horror Maze over the summer as a scare actress. Because of health issues I’ve got, I can’t really do a great deal. So it hasn’t been an easy journey? No. Ever since I was diagnosed with a chronic illness it has been ongoing. Finding the right balance is so important because you can do too much. Some days are really good but you can push yourself a little too much and your body can protest the next day. One of the reasons I love being Maleficent is because it is not about me. When I do a

charity event as Maleficent it is not about me and my issues, it is entirely about someone else. It is really nice focusing yourself on people in need, rather than
focusing on yourself. It is a way for me to get out of my own head and realise other people have stuff going on as well. You have a great outlook.
You kind of have to. You get to a point where you can either sit there and be miserable about the things you can’t change, or you can invest your energy into the good stuff. Tell me about your family? I have a sister who is incredibly supportive. My parents live in Te Puki, near Tauranga. It is the Kiwifruit capital of New Zealand. My family think it is great I dress up. There is this idea that it is weird and there can be judgment, but my family think it is great. They get right behind it and support it. My sister is an artist. She is a painter that just got into sculpting and is very creative. My grand-father, who passed away in 1997, was into pottery so there has always been an artistic influence in my family. Have you ever considered going into acting? I have toyed with the idea. But with my chronic illness, there is no telling how I will be on any one day. Charity events do not happen too often and they are only for a few hours. Even if I don’t feel great, there is the reward of helping others and I can push myself through. But it is a matter of listening to what the body is saying.

And how old are you? I am 36. All my friends complain they are getting older, but I am getting closer to 40 and love it. It is actually really exciting. In my 20s, I was like most people. I was relatively self-absorbed, self-focused and a bit dramatic. Obviously living though the earthquakes was a pretty traumatic experience. That was when I realised I needed help. I had extensive therapy. I needed to address over-coming my grief. I knew
people who died in the 2011 earthquake. But I have now put that trauma behind me. The main thing is to keep moving forward. How do children react when they see you? It does vary. I have done some faerie events where children come rushing up to me and throw their arms around me. On the flip-side, some find my whole look intimidating. I have been known to have done charity events where children
look at me and burst into tears. When you were younger did you enjoy fairy tales? I was always drawn to the dark characters. When I was four-years-old I remember going into kindergarten and the teacher asked what we want to be when we grew up. I wanted to be Lily Munster because she was a vampire. When I started watching Disney movies I found the villains interesting. Oldschool princesses were one dimensional. Nowadays you have movies like Frozen where the princesses have their own defined personalities. But back in the earlier days, their entire existence was having a man save them and there was nothing exciting about that. And I take it you are pleased about the Disney films getting made these days? It is one of the things Frozen has done. It is redefining what true love is. It is nice seeing princess characters who actually are characters. The reason the character Anna from the film Frozen is so relatable is because she is quirky and goofy.

Do you think there is good in all people? That is a hard one to answer because at what point do you say a person needs help and at what point do you say they are beyond help? I think we have all found ourselves in situations that compromise our moral compass. We do live in a society where people are hard on each other. Just look at social media and the bullying that is online these days. People hide behind their computers and say horrendous things.

Nurse Maude COMMuNITY ParTNersHIPs
driving force behind Nurse Maude The supporT of the people of Christchurch for Nurse Maude’s work started the day sibylla Maude first stepped out on the streets of Christchurch 120 years ago with the community recognising the need and responding. “Just as Nurse Maude has always been a large part of the community, so the community has been such a large part of Nurse Maude,” says sue Bramwell, general manager of marketing for Nurse Maude. That partnership with the community continues today through its support of Nurse Maude’s hospice shops, Maudes on Trade Me and key sponsorships which include harcourts holmwood. harcourts holmwood has been, literally, behind Nurse Maude for more than seven years now, with its sponsorship of an initial five cars now increased to more than 30. every year sales consultants from harcourts holmwood are clocking up millions of kilometres across the greater Christchurch and Canterbury region. The Nurse Maude cars are on the road seven days a week, delivering nursing care across Canterbury and the chances are when you see one of Nurse Maude’s distinctive white cars on the road that the back window will be carrying the name and photo of a sales consultant from the harcourts holmwood franchise. With the agents’ photo, name and contact details in the rear window, both
harcourts holmwood and Nurse Maude are benefiting from the partnership and Bramwell says mutual benefit is what a good sponsorship agreement is all about. “For us it’s essential support for Nurse Maude, for harcourts holmwood it’s a very effective way of letting people know that the company not only cares about supporting the community it does business with, it is actually doing so,” says Bramwell. harcourts holmwood has found that people like the fact that the sales consultants they list their home with are donating a significant amount of money to Nurse Maude every year. playing a key part in helping Nurse Maude care for the people of Canterbury doesn’t just start and stop with Nurse Maude’s cars however. harcourts holmwood’s support went above and beyond during the earthquakes when its sales consultants turned out to help deliver water, portable toilets and blankets to Nurse Maude’s most vulnerable clients. It also has regular clothing drives for the Nurse Maude hospice shops and gathers donations from its events. “Individually and collectively the people of harcourts holmwood have contributed a great deal to the work of Nurse Maude,” says Bramwell. “It’s an enduring sponsorship of which they are justifiably proud and we are very fortunate to have.”

Nurse Maude COMMuNITY ParTNersHIPs
Perfect synergy
in sponsorship There are some partnerships that just make perfect sense, and the one between eCoCentral and Nurse Maude would be one of those. WheN Nurse Maude started Maudes on Trade Me, selling almost everything from furniture to fine jewellery to raise money for its nursing services it soon ran out of storage space. “In the past a lack of space meant that Maudes on Trade Me, had often been unable to take large volumes of donated goods,” says sue Bramwell, general manager marketing for Nurse Maude. With the considerable resources of eCoCentral now behind it, however, Maudes on Trade Me is able to clear entire house lots, moving the larger items through the eCoshop on Blenheim road. The partnership has been a great success with Maudes on Trade Me now able to clear entire house lots and take in a much broader range of furniture and whiteware. “people can still drop smaller items off to any of our hospice shops,” says Bramwell, “but we can now go out and
collect house lots of saleable furniture and whiteware if people want to email us or give us a call.” For Judi sefton, Chief executive of eCoCentral and Jim Magee, Chief executive of Nurse Maude, the partnership simply makes sense, allowing a wide range of goods to be recycled and sold to support Nurse Maude’s services rather than be dumped. “eCoCentral is all about maximising the volume of goods that can be recycled and minimising landfill,” says sefton, “and to be able to do that while helping raise money for Nurse Maude can only be a good thing.” “The partnership between eCoCentral and Nurse Maude clearly demonstrates the huge value the business community can bring to organisations such as ours,” says Bramwell. Those who need to downsize, clear some space or simply see unwanted furniture and household goods to
benefit the wider community rather than just be dumped see Maudes on Trade Me as the ideal home for those items. For Nurse Maude it means much needed financial support for nursing services at a time of increasing demand, while eCoCentral is all about caring for the community through recycling and reducing landfill. “ecoCentral and Nurse Maude talk about caring for the people of Canterbury together and that is exactly what’s happening here,” says Bramwell. “everyone is benefiting.”

RURAL RETURNS: Scotty Bamford (left) returns for a brand new season of Rural New Zealand tomorrow night.
Scotty’s back on Rural NZ HE’S BACK! Scotty Bamford returns to the screen tomorrow night on CTV, in an all new season of Rural New Zealand. Mr Bamford will return to the screen for the first time in nearly 12 months after a near-fatal truck crash over the Christmas period last year. The Rural New Zealand team have been hard at work following the end of season two, earlier this year with filming for season three beginning in July. “We’ve had some absolutely cracking days filming over the winter, the weather has really played ball. We’ve been travelling far and wide, leaving our gummy marks right across Canterbury,” said Mr Bamford. Mr Bamford is excited to show off what he and the team have been working on when episode one airs this week. “We catch up with two girls that are riding horse back, circumnavigating
New Zealand. We met them in Kaikoura, 3000km into their journey,” he said. This week’s episode sees Mr Bamford meet Carrfields founding director Greg Carr. “Over the next 16 weeks we’ll be learning more about the Carr family and how the Ashburton-based agricultural business has grown into a diverse international operation,” he said. Mr Bamford said that one of his highlights this season was a recent trip to Omarama, to meet the 2015 South Island Farmer of the Year co-winner Richard Subtil. Later in the season Mr Subtil will explain the effort that went into recognition in the competition and his plans to future-proof the family farm for generations to come. Episode one will air at 8pm tomorrow on CTV, Freeview channel 40.

Get rid of dampness in your house
noW WITH the colder and wetter weather on its way, home owners are focusing on ways to make their homes comfortable, warm and healthy for their families throughout winter. rISIng DAMP is an issue that affects many of our older properties which suffer from poor, or no, insulation. In Canterbury especially, post-quake, many people have relocated to homes that suffer from rising damp which can be associated with health problems. Independent tests have shown that up to 40 litres of water can rise from the ground and enter a house every day, leading to mildew, mould, condensation and musty smells. Moulds can produce various allergic reactions and the frail, elderly and very young are especially vulnerable. Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd is a locally owned and operated firm. The team understands
the problems caused by rising damp and are there to help. They will come to your damp home and pump a lightweight, flowable foam concrete under your timber floored home. Specially adapted for our new Zealand conditions and applications it provides a layer of protection against rising moisture. An unexpected benefit that the team at Canterbury Foam Concrete have noticed recently, is that many owners of properties which had underfloor foam concrete installed, reported that it also provided protection against liquefaction after the earthquakes. Contact Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd now for your free, no obligation quote and complimentary appraisal of your underfloor ventilation needs. Phone 03 376 4608 or 0508 362626 for more information.

If exhaust ventilation is not provided or it is not effective, polluted air, smells, humidity and harmful substances are not removed. Low oxygen with high carbon dioxide causes stuffiness in the room and occupants can feel drowsy. Invisible harmful substances like a high content of dust and tobacco smoke are harmful and can cause various diseases. even bad smells can cause discomfort or irritate the nervous system. In summer, it’s easy to open windows for cross ventilation, however as winter approaches, we start to shut up out houses to trap in the heat and as a result, air quality can decline.

Liposomal Vitamin C Offers PAULGER COURTS RETIREMENT VILLAGE More health Benefits Liposomal vitamin C is a technological breakthrough and may offer incredible health benefits. vitamin C is a vital antioxidant nutrient that plays a critical role in the immune function. White blood cells depend upon vitamin C in order to survive and withstand the attack of pathogens and free radicals. environmental toxins damage cells that leads to disease but vitamin C and other antioxidants can neutralize this damage. vitamin C does not directly attack cancer cells but helps keep the immune system strong. The immune system fights cancer cells with hydrogen peroxide, a natural type of chemotherapy to destroy the cancer cells. vitamin C may help prevent one of our worst diseases and many researchers believe it to be a useful part of a comprehensive cancer treatment protocol. vitamin C also has many other important roles in the body. It is a major constituent in the production of collagen, ligaments, bones, discs, tendons and skin. It has been shown to improve the healing process of burns, cuts, wounds, sprains/strains and broken bones as well as reduce inflammation and pain. It is known to support cardiovascular function, blood flow and keep the blood vessels strong but flexible. vitamin C has numerous other health benefits including supporting lung function, balanced blood sugar levels and eye health. vitamin C cannot be produced in the body but must come from our diet. our
bodies require much more vitamin C than ever before due to our more stressful lifestyle and toxic environment. Many researchers believe it is impossible to obtain enough vitamin C in a normal healthy diet. Most oral vitamin C supplements are believed to have an absorption rate of as low as 20%. This is due to vitamin C being water soluble and our cell membranes being made up of fat and the fact that water and fat don’t mix. Liposomal vitamin C is made by combining essential phospholipid fatty acids with vitamin C to form nano-size particles that can easily pass through the digestive system into the bloodstream and into the cells. The absorption rate is over 90% and liposomal vitamin C is easily stored in the body for use when required. further information is available from the Natural Health Advisers at Marshall’s Health & Natural Therapy, 110 Seaview Road, New Brighton, Ph: 388-5757.

Joint pain: Do I have arthritis or could it be mainly my muscles? The team at Physical sense in sydenham sees clients with a range of symptoms but many of their middle-aged and senior clients visit complaining of pain in one of their joints. PhysiotheraPist ietje van stolk suggests that a major part of the pain could be due to muscle pain rather than simply arthritis. “even if an x-ray shows arthritis, the reason for the pain may be the muscles around the joint,” she explains. The images show how a muscle knot (the crosses) in a back muscle can give hip pain (aches and pain are the red areas in the drawings), a knot in a muscle on the back of the shoulder blade can give a deep pain in the front of the shoulder and a muscle knot all the way near the groin can give an ache in the knee (especially at night in bed). ietje recalls one case where an 89 year old client with severe arthritis who walked with a stick, told her, “i will end up in a wheelchair, i cannot put any weight through my right leg due to pain in my hip and buttock”. “Within 4 treatments, she was walking with her stick but without the severe pain,” says ietje. “The arthritis was one of the factors that made her muscles spasm but A A unique UNIQUE PoweRFuL POWERFUL tReAtment TREATMENT wiLL WILL Give GIVE you YOU PAin PAIN ReLieF RELIEFin IN juSt JUST A Few FEW SeConDS SECONDS
the other was that older people move less and the flexed position the hip is in when we sit is particularly bad for the hip.” ietje is happy with the fact that although the client was 89 and could have been “given up on” or told to live with the pain, she made a difference to her health and wellbeing. The same lack of movement can be the reason for your knee pain or your shoulder pain and the same few treatments could make a huge difference for you. at Physical sense, hands-on techniques (massage and triggerpoint deactivation techniques) are used to release the muscles. The client also gets a home exercise program designed to mobilize and stretch the joint, strengthen the important core muscles and increase general strength and balance. They teach a movement sequence that stretches the joint in all directions whilst the client is able to lie safely on their bed, perfect for older or

(the crosses are the areas of the muscle spasms, the red areas is where the pain is felt)
less mobile clients. in many cases having the muscles released and being taught how to maintain it, is enough to stay on top of the problem. if severe arthritis is the underlying cause, some maintenance therapy may be necessary, but that is often more affordable and, for older patients, better tolerated than surgery. in very few treatments the client will know
