Craniosacral Therapy for babies, children and teenagers. Being born is an experience non of us remember but long, difficult births effect us when we come into the world. Babies may experience even if the birth was trouble free:
- establishing and supporting breast feeding
- developing good sleep patterns
- colic, reflux and allergies
- torticollis (wry neck)
- bonding with parents and siblings
Children and teenagers may have social and learning difficulties, the treatment is gentle and supportive to the physical and emotional needs of the individual child.
It has been found to help with:
- Anger/anxiety issues
- autism/aspergers
- ear infections
- migraines/headaches
- sleep patterns
- poor co ordination
- delayed developement
- fears/phobias
- growth spurts
- noise sensitivity
If your child suffers with any of the above then here at Pithers Yard Natural Health Clinic we offer support for you and your child.

Tennis Elbow - Are you suffering from or know anyone that is? Symptoms can be tenderness, pain when gripping or when carrying out your particular sport. They are known for taking along time to heal and may never go away.
Acupuncture works well on Tennis Elbow helping with inflammation as well as encouraging the body to heal itself in response to the needles being inserted.

Do you suffer with sciatic pain? It really is that pain in the gleusus maximus (bottom) that we could all do without. More and more people are suffering from it and here at Pithers Yard Clinic we have certainly seen an increase in the past 18 months.
We believe this could be do to lifestyle driving desks and cars for long hours at a time, and sitting for too long in one position.
The longer you suffer the pain can then start to creep from you buttock down to your knee and then even as far as the toes which is the last thing you would want. Sciatica is caused by the sciatic nerve becoming compressed and pain occurs.
It often travels down one side of the body but you can have both at one time.

Are you a runner? I have certainly seen an increase in runners around Cary these past few weeks which is great. So if your new to running keep attainable goals and take care not to over do it and get dispondent and then not do anything at all.
Pithers Yard clinic can help with any problems you may be having with muscle pain including back problems. We offer a range of therapies which may be of help to you. Those include sports massage, chiropractic and bowen.
Regular massage can help with dealing with muscle waste, any muscle issues such as tightness etc and also may help with training and attaining new PB's. Receiving treatments is about being proactive rather than reactive to a problem. This is not just for the beginner but for those that have been running years maybe its time to take a new approach and see if further help improves those running times.
As a runner of 2 years myself starting from running between a lamp post to being able to just about complete 10 miles. I am not a fast runner nor am I a natural runner but I go regularly and love it. Something I have found is runners are really sociable and happy to share information that is of real help. So where ever you are on the ladder have fun and enjoy :)
