Amber Health, Beauty & Sports Injury Clinic

Principal Therapist - Adelia Chamberlain. Adelia believes in addressing every Client as an individual, treating him or her as a whole person, rather than having set treatments to treat individual symptoms. She uses a variety of techniques and approaches. Typically: deep and / or soft tissue massage or manipulation, integrated myofascial release therapy, trigger point pain release, mechanical and manual massage, deep heat treatment, low frequency vibro-sonics, manual lymph drainage (MLD), etc. Sometimes programmes are developed using the CACI muscle stimulation machine. Adelia is not an Osteopath, Chyropractor or Surgeon (Bones and Joints), and primarily concentrates on Patients muscles - you know, those things that hold the bones together - there are thousands of them. She has had excellent results over the years She has been practising. Recently even more Training Courses in specialist Massage have been attended. She has 4 weeks of Advanced MLD training programmed for this year.

Treatments

The first part of any treatment is pain or injury analysis. This may be followed by reference to others: Your Doctor, your Partner, her Consultants; to determine the right approach. Equally treatment may start immediately, usually with soft tissue manipulation massage and pain point location.

Using a variety of techniques, a lot of time and personal care, plus where necessary reference to external consultants has allowed her to achieve some very interesting success with treating Client injuries. Some of these injuries have previously been recognised by the Client as long-term.

Please be aware, some treatments can be up to 2 hours in length, some can be very painful, and require weeks or months of time and effort, miracles do not appear over-night. You may have had the injury or pain for a long-time, perhaps not recognising the damage to your muscles you have been making worse. Best and quickest success, is directly related to the delay time to getting some repair treatment. Typically if it's a simple muscle tear, you can help yourself by just getting an ice pack to the injury as quick as possible. This will stimulate blood flow, which allows your body to help you.

Who do we treat?

Adelia treats patients of all ages, from children to the elderly, male or female that are within her expertise. When necessary, referrals to other professionals will be made.

What can we treat?

The most common treatments are for backache or life/ occupational stress. However many other conditions affect the body frame: Sports Injuries, Joint Pain, Headaches, Breathing difficulties, Digestive troubles, postural stress, muscle tension and adhesion after operations, birth muscle strain, to identify a few. Recently Adelia has had some success treating Fibromyalgia, which is very encouraging for those concerned.

Please accept that if it is a longterm injury, it will take time to get results. Performing to our best ability is one thing, and the more successful results seem to come when the Client is also fully committed to the treatment. Miracles always seem to take a little longer.
