Welcome to Neil Galloway Therapies
Specialist in Gentle Therapy
Remedial Massage Training was, for me, a change in direction, a re-training started in 1992, an on-going process and one which has taken me into areas of study I never expected to explore. Since 1994, when I first became established in Penrith, my interest has moved more and more towards the use of Gentle Therapy.
Discovering Strain / Counter Strain (Positional Release Techniques) back in ‘94 was the first glimpse I had of what could be achieved using gentle techniques in conjunction with conventional massage.
This took me into studying anything I could find of a gentle nature: Bowen Therapy; Touch for Health; Acupressure; Meridian Energy Therapies; Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), and a few more.
Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)
In 1999, I was introduced to Touch for Health and Acupressure, which I use in conjunction with massage. Four years later, searching for other applications of Energy Therapy, I came across the work of Dr Roger Callahan, a Clinical Psychologist, who discovered, by chance, a tapping process which he developed into Thought Field Therapy (TFT). One of his early pupils, Gary Craig (www.emofree.com) simplified the process & formed his own version, Emotional Freedom Technique.
It works on the premise that ‘The cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body’s energy system’ (Craig). EFT can correct this disruption and the negative emotions and physical symptoms melt away, often in minutes. ft is non-invasive, uses no drugs, does not involve manipulation, and can be used on almost anybody for just about anything. It is a revolutionary new concept in healing. However, it is not the answer to everything, so if you have doubts about your condition, always consult your GP first.
Gentle Remedial Massage & Physiotherapy
Every patient and every therapist is different, so there can be no prescriptive formula common to the relief of all problems.
As a therapist, I don’t ‘cure’ anyone of anything but act as a facilitator to help get the patients body into a state where it can heal itself. There is no way of knowing in advance how many treatments will be required - it may be 1, 2, or 6, but you will never be locked into long courses of treatment from the start, and you are free to stop at any time.
Remedial massage is an ancient craft which uses a variety of manual soft tissue manipulations to relax muscular spasm and tension, release tight congested tissue, ease off stiff joints and improve range of movement, to stimulate, nerves, circulation and lymphatic flow to increase oxygen and nutrient delivery and waste removal from the tissue.
