Women and weightlifting

28/2/2018

Thank you Kelly Haines for this article and great photos!

Women and weightlifting
Lifting weights doesn't mean you'll bulk up and look like the worlds strongest man Eddie Hall (well not unless you consume 12000 calories a day and have a beard!). It actually has huge benefits for women.
1. Weight loss. Building lean muscle helps raise our metabolism and burn more calories
2. Toned figure. As we firm up our muscles our bodies become more toned and defined. This does not mean we bulk up (we don't have enough testosterone for that) but it does mean our clothes fit better.
3. We become stronger. This helps support us and makes everyday actives easier (lifting up children, carrying heavy bags).
4. It can help our bones. Research suggests that strength training for women can help build bone strength and reduce the risk of osteoporotic fractures.
Done safely weight training is an excellent form of exercise.

Acupuncture

17/6/2016

We are pleased to welcome Sian Elias to The White Practice specialising in Acupuncture.
She is currently offering an introductory offer of a free phone call and £10 off your first treatment.
Sian is passionate about enabling people to feel their best. She has carried out a four year study of both Traditional Chinese Medicine and Five Element Acupuncture allowing her to treat the cause and the symptom. Treatments are unique and focus on the individual. Sian believes that no two patients are the same despite their western diagnosis.

The intention of Acupuncture is to treat the whole being not just the symptom. Therefore it is likely the patient will notice that other symptoms or healthcare problems may diminish following treatment and experience a general feeling of well-being.
To book please email her at: sian.elias@gmail.com or phone: 07967 488006.

Symptoms suitable for Osteopathic treatment include: spinal pain, sciatica, limb pain - arms and legs, frozen shoulder, sporting injuries, headaches and migraines, stress related conditions. We offer treatment for babies and children, cranial osteopathy, antenatal care for pregnancy related problems and neonatal care for unsettled babies.

Also available at The White Practice: Medical Herbalism, Allergy Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acupuncture, Massage and Relationship, Bereavement and counselling.

Located in Nailsworth near to Stroud, Minchinhampton, Tetbury, Dursley and surrounding villages - Osteopathic treatment emergency appointments are available so if you would like this arranged please contact us on 01453 832515.
