I was looking for some reminder of acupressure points for tennis elbow for a client recently.

In the meantime for those with tennis elbow from too much diy, tennis….,…….
My advice is to keep a neutral positioned wrist when using your power tools or racquet 🙂
Here is a good site with some useful acupressure points to work on.

Had a good Breathwork event at the Beautiful Angel Hall in Bowden House on Friday. Great energy, some seasoned pros 🙂 next one will be around the September equinox on the Friday (tbc)
We might push the breathing a bit longer as the last few have been just 40mins.
Still enough for a powerful positive boost!

After going down well at the Holistic Health Fair at the Tiverton Hotel near Exeter on the 17th May 2025 (I gave a 45min talk and 30 taster sessions from 10am till 4pm) I've organised a few further events in June 2025...

5th June - Talk in Totnes, Bridgetown Community Hall on Holistic Physio and Red Light Therapy - Short demos will be offered.

14th June - Holistic Wellness Fair - Courtenay Centre
Eventbrite - https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-holistic-wellness-fair-tickets-1363622544739
I'll be offering 30 taster sessions of Laser Acupuncture, RedLight Therapy and Short but Deep bodywork sessions with as much advice on problems you may have as time allows - Suggested £15 donation.

20th June - Holotropic Breathwork Taster at Bowden House in Totnes.
I'll give a talk on my experiences with Dr Stan Grof and Tav Sparks from two six day workshops in Ireland and with Leonard Orr in Glastonbury before he died and with the Wim Hof breathing. We will then do a 30-45min breathing session with music and guidance followed by a share of experience if you like and some grounding exercises so you'll be energised and clear. Suggested donation £15 - will be on Eventbrite in next few days.

I've done a lot of Breathwork sessions for groups over the last few years in Exeter and Totnes and would like to create a closed group by invitation only for regular sessions in Totnes.

Hi,
Today I thought I'd put in a post of the things that I treat and a little explanation of how I might treat them:

Necks - Often people will come with a wry neck or a very sore neck after sleeping funny and it can even cause pins down into one arm.
After a usual assessment of movements in all directions, this is often very easy treated with a mix of deep and gentle massage and trigger points, even ten mins is enough to get a huge improvement in some cases. For much longer term neck issues, I'll use my Thor LX2 laser acupuncture system with biofeedback to find out where the main point of blockage is in the neck which will help me focus my treatments on the ligaments, facet joints, muscles as necessary.
Oh yes, and most everyone loves a nice stretch of their neck and it is very rare people get the gentle traction which you get in treatments like Zero Balancing or CranioSacral.

Backs - Depending on whether someone has a long term problem or recurrent several times a year or something new, I'll do an assessment and then after finding the best exercises for the person to continue with to improve their pain levels, I'll do some bodywork with may include massage, some more deep longer work on some muscles maybe some InfraRed treatment and maybe some Bowen technique if appropriate. A few sessions of the Bowen technique is great for the majority of people I've seen over the past 25yrs, whether its for backs, stress relief, asthma, migraines, pelvic issues, hips, knees etc etc

Ankles - Sprains from going over on the outside of the ankle is the most common injury I see in this area. I will most likely treat the injury with lasers to speed up healing and will likely tape the ankle to prevent further injury. I will regularly reinforce the importance of icing 3-4 times per day in the acute phase. After a few sessions with increasingly difficult balance exercises to regain reflex speeds after injury the ankle can resolve quickly. (I've treated my skateboarder son many times for this and he's been back on his board in a week).

Had a great open day at the Health Source clinic in Totnes https://healthsourcetotnes.uk/meet-the-practitioners/
I was very busy offering 30minute sessions of very relaxing bodywork, with extra bit for sore necks, shoulders, backs, knees and digestive issues.
A good day for the centre. We are hoping to do the same at the Good-Life clinic in Sowton, Exeter soon where I am each Monday 🙂 https://goodlife-therapy.com/new-centre-homepage/
Still got some spaces for home visits in Totnes, Newton Abbot, Torbay next week if you want to address those’d aches and pains for the Spring Season☀️☔️
I’m going to post a video shortly of me explaining my 30 generic bodywork session - different than my specific 40-45 min clinic session where I assess, give exercises/stretches/advice as well as hands on treatments with Thor LX2 lasers as necessary.

I had a client recently who has a pain syndrome in his knee and foot. I’ve been using The Thor LX 2 laser system which gives him a few days relief and together with reflexology and hydrotherapy all are helping. But we discussed DMSO and he’s been using it to really good effect to reduce his pain.
I sent him lots of info on contraindications etc and he researched it himself as physio cannot prescribe or give pro advice on such things but I’m really curious if anyone else out there has had good results or otherwise with this amazing product (from wood pulp from paper manufacturing)?
Please text or dm me 🙂

Hi everybody,
I’m using this page as a place to put some interesting and fun stuff with regards to Physio.

First up is a video about exercises for KNEES
This video shows good exercises for the Quads, Gluts (bottom muscles) & Calf’s.

https://youtu.be/mQYIMdpo2Dc?si=8akwPfmRHuL1pR1

I particularly like the calf stretching/strengthening and would definately add Hamstrings exercises which I will do next as when I see people who have pain walking downstairs I will go to the hams as deceleraters to strengthen.

Wishing you all well and resilience on all levels 🙏

Mike☀️
