Let’s say you have been given a car. It may not be the model you want, it may have a few miles on the clock; but it runs fairly well...and its the only one you’ve got.
You drive the car every day. It takes the kids to school, you to work, to the gym, grocery store, theatre, weekend getaways. In short, YOU RELY ON IT.
One day you notice that the car isn’t running like it normally does. The engine purrr has changed to more of a grrr. There are rattles and creaks where none used to be. Nothing major has happened, the car is just struggling a bit. Without this car, you can’t get to work, school, gym, or anywhere else. YOU RELY ON IT.
So when the car doesn’t work well and you feel it struggling what do you do? I’m guessing that with something so vital to your daily needs, you take it in for a service. Why risk having the car break down?
Your body is like the car. It may not be the model you want, it may have a few miles on the clock, but it runs fairly well and it’s the only one you’ve got!
Your body looks after the kids, allows you to work, drive, shop, exercise and go on holiday. In short, YOU RELY ON IT.
I’m sure everyone has days where their body doesn’t work like it used to. Perhaps you feel more grrr than purrr, perhaps you ache in one particular spot all the time or an injury prevents you from exercising or picking up your children, you may have insomnia, poor circulation or stiff neck and shoulders. Nothing major has happened, you are just struggling a bit.
Now even though you rely on your body and it’s the only one you’ve got, I’m willing to bet that most of us just ignore the niggles and hope they will work themselves out. After all, we are all getting older and we can’t be running to the doctor with every little ache and pain.
This is where alternative, holistic therapies – like massage and homeopathy are beneficial. They help the ‘niggles’. They get rid of the grrr and bring back the purrr.
Why wait until something goes wrong with your body before getting it seen to? After all, you would take your car in for a service, why should your body be treated with less respect and care?
So don’t wait. Book in for a massage to get rid of the aches and pains and injuries. Book in for a homeopathic consultation to get rid of the depression, PMT, chronic cold and flu. Don’t wait. Your body RELIES ON IT!
