Quit Cigarettes in 60 minutes Guaranteed!
Are you a smoker or do you know one? Have you or they ever tried to quit and been unsuccessful? It has nothing to do with willpower or intelligence.
Quitting cold turkey has a 7% success rate
Gums/patches/medications have a 14-18% success rate
Traditional hypnosis has a 30-40% success rate (still better than the above but still 60-70% fail)
The Quit Cigarettes in 60 minutes system (combining advanced NLP and hypnotherapy from 10 years of research) has a 95.6% success rate. And it is the only system that offers a lifetime guarantee!
As a physio I treat the effects of smoking every day. I wanted to stop treating symptoms and get to the cause (the smoking itself). I am now a qualified Quit Cigarettes in 60 minutes specialist and am very excited to be able to help my clients quit cigarettes for good.
I must admit when I first heard about this system I was VERY dubious. I had always been brought up in the medical profession to believe giving up cigarettes was hard, harder than heroin in fact! And here was a system that seemed so easy, and purported to have a 95.6% success rate, with a lifetime guarantee! I was treating smokers every day though and I had to at least give it a go.
I underwent the training to specialise in this area and I was very glad I did. On the specialist course we had 10 smokers all become non-smokers after ONE 60 minute session! When I came back I was very excited to be able to offer this service to my smoking clients.
I don’t want to be the smoking police. I have no problem with anyone who smokes, everyone already knows its not good for them. Its not a lack of intelligence or willpower that prevents people giving up. If someone wants to give up though, has tried everything and can’t quit on their own, I want to help! This system really works, I guarantee it.
I am part of a network of leading specialists using the most effective process available today to quit cigarettes in just 60 minutes … with an astonishing success rate of 95.6%. This is a proven system that has worked for thousand of clients.
I have been blown away by the number of people wanting to give up cigarettes, and am already close to booked out for the next month. I do want to help though if you have a genuine desire to give up cigarettes. You can make an appointment by calling

You have nothing to lose (there is a lifetime guarantee) and everything to gain (becoming a non-smoker and fresh air breathing person for life)
Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), physio and a free offer!
NLP is fantastic! I say this after I’ve gotten back from my first (of several) Neuro linguistic programming (NLP) trainings, and I can’t wait to learn more! I feel very much I now have a key that can unlock doors in my (and my client’s) that I wasn’t able to previously.
For those who don’t know about NLP I love this definition from George Faddoul (one of my trainers and a very inspiring person)
“The study of NLP advocates the pursuit of excellence in all endeavours. It’s the study of how to integrally and linguistically affect a person’s neurology in order to achieve a desired outcome.”
What does this mean? Well a simpler way to explain NLP is to examine something I come across every day.
Present state (ie someone in pain)
Desired state (not in pain)
How do we bridge the two?
Well this is where NLP comes in. Using NLP a therapist can help someone have more tools to help move from present state to desired state. This is done using non-invasive linguistic and imagery techniques that work on the unconscious mind (90% of what we do is unconcious, hence the failure often to make change when we work just at a conscious level).
I am very excited about using these NLP techniques along with I already do with physiotherapy. I often find I can help someone make great changes with their health, but that over time they start drifting back to their old habits (whether its not exercising, eating poorly etc). NLP to me is a way to help make these changes more permanent by working on the unconscious mind.
But don’t worry, I won’t be using NLP on you without your permission! I love the fact NLP obtains consent from both the conscious and unconscious minds before a session. It also only works if the therapist is in alignment (rapport) with their client, and only if the client actually wants to make change (a very nice presupposition in NLP is there is nothing wrong with someone being in any state except if they want to change it).
I really believe the future of what I and other health professionals will be doing to help treat pain and ill health will very much include NLP.
I’ve already started using some of what I’ve learned, with great results. I’m excited about the other trainings that I’ll be doing this year (including learning how to help someone quit cigarettes in 60 minutes, and other more powerful NLP strategies) I’ve also started using NLP in my own life. From my own experience I can tell you that NLP is very powerful stuff indeed.
For a lot of my clients though, NLP could be helpful not just with pain, but health in general, finances, relationships, losing weight, giving up smoking, the list is potentially endless. NLP can help anything where you are in one state and want to be in another, but lack the resources to do so.
So if you have any interest in NLP, a great way to find out about it a fun way is to get a FREE copy of the best selling DVD “Getting a bigger bite out of life” by George Faddoul (the NLP trainer I mentioned).

More on benefits of massage
The Massage Project (www.massageproject.com)
is only in its 3rd day but interest has been amazing. I’m heartened to hear all the people who talk about the many benefits of massage. If you go to the site you’ll see a lot of info on the many benefits of massage, but I thought I would talk from a physio perspective about how I have found massage to help.
Differences between physiotherapy and massage I often get asked the difference between physio and massage. Massage is the manipulation of superficial layers of muscle and connective tissue to enhance the function and promote relaxation and well-being (wikipedia)
Physio is more about restoring abnormal movement patterns, improving posture, mobilisation of joints as well as muscles and many other forms of treatment such as electrotherapy, taping, exercise therapy, education ergonomics etc.
Massage combines very well with physiotherapy though and we are taught to do some ourselves in our course, although nowhere near as much as most trained massage therapists (when I first met my wife a trained massage therapist who had done years of study I realised how little I knew!) We also have a lot of other things we need to do in a physio session so I tell my clients if you enjoy the small massage component in my physio session to have regular massage in addition to the physio. I do caution though great though massage is it won’t help get your strength back -you still need to do exercise, but massage can help to make the exercises easier to do)
Total Knee Replacement
http://orthoanswer.org/knee-leg/knee-replacement/definition.html
Massage after total knee replacement is one of the most effective treatments I have found to speed the recovery from what is more often than not a VERY painful experience (am not trying to scare you off here a lot of people don’t have any choice with OA knees, and just about everyone comes good eventually, it can just be very trying in the first 6 weeks particularly). Massage helps to move the fluid and get the scar tissue moving, helps decrease pain levels, and restore sensation and normal movement (particularly knee bend which we physios and doctors are so obsessed with -the magic 90 degrees you will need before leaving hospital)
CAUTION A couple of big things about massage though – 1/ In my opinion it should not cause pain. You can get an area to loosen up without pain (a little discomfort occurs sometimes but this is a lot different from pain) Listen to your body, frequent light massage works better I find than really hard massage done occassionally. This can often just cause more tightness and swelling (defeating the whole purpose of massaging!)
2/ Make sure you are medically safe to do so, and that there isn’t wound ooze or risk of infection -check with your health professional if unsure)
Besides these two things massage is generally safe TKR particularly once the wound has healed over and scar tissue (like a scab) has formed. Most of the problem getting movement and strength I find comes from the fluid and the scar tissue. This is a result of the surgery trauma -I often say to people post knee you have a good brand new knee in there its just that you are recovering from the operation! My first two patients I treated I watched their TKR being done -it was absolutely horrendous to watch and I said to them afterwards if you saw what was done to your knee you would know why you are so sore!)
It always amazes me though the number of clients I see who went through their entire hospital stay without having a massage or even being told that a massage will help the pain, swelling and scar mobility! Massage (and exercise in water, you can even do both massage and exercise in water) really helps to get things moving post knee replacement, and makes it easier to do the physio exercises to regain knee strength that are also REALLY important. I find though that those clients who have massage really seem to tolerate their exercises better, and with less pain, than those who just do exercises alone. Its common practice for people who have undergone cardiac or breast surgery to be encouraged to massage, I hope one day everyone who has a total knee replacement is given the same advice. I’ve yet to see good research on massage post TKR but I can tell you firsthand after treating many hundreds of people that it really does work!
And you don’t have to have had a knee replacement to benefit from massage. Its a great form of preventative health care and not just for those in pain.
