Laser therapy stimulates the release of endorphins, those natural “feel-good” chemicals, creating a feeling of well-being. Stress and anxiety can interrupt the smooth flow of energy throughout the body, but laser therapy has been shown to help the energy flow smoothly, reducing stress and lowering anxiety.
If you’re finding it difficult to manage your stress levels and are concerned that’s it’s becoming chronic (lasting longer than 3 months), low level laser therapy is a very good option.
If you’d like to learn more about how cold laser therapy can help or if you have a question, call 403-301-3730 or email calgarylaserworks@telus.net.
Reflexology is an ancient Chinese technique that uses pressure-point massage usually on the feet (but also on the hands and ears). It deals with the underlying principle that these pressure points or reflexes relate to every single cell of the body. Working these reflexes restores the flow of energy throughout the entire body and assists it in regaining or maintaining balance.
Did you know that reflexology has been around for thousands of years? It actually originated around the same time as acupuncture!
No one in the West had heard of reflexology until an American ear, nose and throat specialist named Dr. William Fitzgerald, introduced it at the beginning of this century. He took the first steps toward dividing the body into ten reflex zones and 3000 years after its conception reflexology came to America.
In 1930, Eunice Ingham, a nurse and physiotherapist, refined the “zone therapy” developed by Fitzgerald, to what is known today as reflexology. She was instrumental in charting the feet in detail to determine which part of the sole corresponded to which part of the body.
Reflexology was developed into a skillful, manual therapy, bringing many people relief and many benefits in their often fast-paced and stressful lifestyles. It is now considered a great form of preventative medicine. Since at least 75% of all our health problems can be linked to nervous stress, reflexology is a valuable tool for supporting the well-being of anyone.
10 benefits of reflexology:
Reflexology is a very gentle, non-invasive form of healing and can bring immense relief and dramatic changes oftentimes in only a couple of sessions.

Nicotine in cigarettes is a powerfully addictive drug. It is the ingredient that causes the physical addiction to tobacco. Nicotine is a mild stimulant which increases activity in the brain just like caffeine, cocaine and amphetamine. It’s also a powerful toxin, and likely the reason you coughed when smoking your first cigarettes all those years ago.
Many people don’t quit smoking because they think it’s too hard, and it’s true that quitting isn’t easy for many people. After all, not only is smoking a physical addiction, but a psychological habit as well. Most people will try and quit many times before finally being successful.

Daylight Savings Time is coming up this weekend so get ready to spring forward!
Daylight Savings Time is a way of making better use of the daylight in the evenings by setting the clocks forward one hour during the longer days of summer.
At 2 a.m. on Sunday March 13 our clocks are readjusted forward by an hour.
This adjustment will take place automatically on smartphones, computers and tablets, but for those still living with non-automated devices on your wrists or shelves you will have to manually upgrade the time to stay current.
Sorry to say we’ll lose an hour of sleep because of the change, but it also means we’re one hour closer to spring…ahhhhh.
