Calgary Laserworks & Reflexology = Improved Health

You’ve heard the expression, “If you don’t have your health you have nothing.” Take it from those who are bedridden or restricted to a wheelchair because of their health, that this statement is true.

Studies have shown that stress has a huge effect on your health. Stress and worry can lead to immune system breakdown and heart-related issues.

Studies also show that being grateful and happy can reduce stress and anxiety. For example, it is known that 50% of our inclination to be happy is genetic (something you can’t affect very much), 10% is based on your surroundings/life circumstances (family, career, finances), and 40% is “deliberate action”. Deliberate actions are things we can control through our behaviour.

So how can Reflexology therapy with Calgary Laserworks help improve your health? By providing the following benefits!

Stress Reduction

When we are stressed our body’s defences break down and we become more susceptible to illness and disease. Reflexology can assist in reducing stress by generating deep tranquil relaxation, helping the body balance itself and allowing healing energy to flow.

Improved Circulation

Blood needs to flow freely throughout the body carrying oxygen and nutrients to all the cells and removing the waste products of metabolism and other toxins. By reducing stress and tension, reflexology allows the cardiovascular vessels to conduct the flow of blood naturally and easily.

Improved Immune System

Reflexology stimulates the lymphatic system thus reducing risk of infection. It cleanses the body of toxins and impurities and also stimulates the production of endorphins, leading to an improved immune system and sense of well-being.

Increased Energy

Reflexology revitalizes energy throughout the body by relaxing and opening up the energy pathways.

By taking deliberate action and choosing reflexology you can begin improving your health today! Give us a call today at 403-301-3730 to discover how laser treatments can help.

Helping Smokers Become Free of Addiction

quitsmokgclockNicotine 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.

Calgary Laserworks can help you get over both the physical and psychological dependency. We focus on treating the three most common symptoms associated with withdrawal:

  • Block the need for nicotine
  • Reduce stress and anxiety
  • Suppress your appetite

We will support you and work with you when you need it the most. During this time we will:

  • help you understand the necessary physical and psychological changes as this is the key to success
  • provide information to help you change your behaviour, make smarter choices, and of course, live a healthier life
  • help you kick the nicotine addiction because we know quitting can be difficult, a bit frightening, and stressful

Stop smoking and free yourself from your nicotine addiction with low level laser treatment.

The procedure is very relaxing, non-invasive, non-thermal, safe, pain-free, affordable, and produces great results. Call Calgary Laserworks at 403-301-3730 today!

A Fresh Start for 2016

Happy New Year!

quitsmoking2016Looking for an easy-to-keep resolution to help you quit smoking and improve your overall health? Try low level laser therapy. It’s

  • Safe
  • Easy
  • Affordable
  • Effective

If you’ve tried to quit smoking you know how difficult it is. Few people ever succeed with things like gum or the patch because they are still putting nicotine into their body. Laser therapy treatments can help manage nicotine cravings, keeping you calm and relaxed during the first crucial weeks.

Laser therapy uses “cold lasers” instead of needles in an acupuncture-like treatment. The procedure is non-invasive, non-thermal, safe, pain-free and is considered a non-medical procedure. It helps with the physical part of the addiction by stimulating key pathways on the ears, nose, fingers and wrists (acupuncture points). This stimulation provides a natural high by sending a signal to your brain to produce large amounts of pain relieving chemicals called endorphins. This flush of endorphins leaves you with a feeling of overall well-being, while greatly alleviating most, if not all, of the cravings for nicotine, withdrawal symptoms, and the temptation to smoke another cigarette.

Don’t delay. Quit today.

We will support you and work with you when you need it the most. During this time you will be making changes both physically and habitually. Calgary Laserworks will:

  • help you understand these changes as this is the key to success
  • provide information to help you change your behavior, make smarter choices, and of course, live a healthier life
  • help you kick the nicotine addiction because we know quitting can be difficult, a bit frightening, and stressful

Give us a call at 403-301-3730. You’ll be so relieved you did!

Give Yourself the Gift of Laser Therapy!

The Christmas season can be such a beautiful time, but is often crazy hectic and filled with much pressure and unwelcome stress.

Most of us have many responsibilities during the holiday season, which if we don’t manage well, leave our emergency stress response turned “on” most of the time. The more your body’s stress system is activated, the harder it is to shut off.

Chronic stress disrupts nearly every system in your body and can lead to serious health problems. It can raise our blood pressure, increase the risk of heart attack and stroke, and suppress our immune systems. Not to mention it can speed up the aging process, and really, who needs that?!

Managing stress in our lives is all about taking charge and being in control of our thoughts, our emotions, our schedule, our environment, and the way we handle our issues. The mind is so powerful no matter how we choose to use it and we always have a choice about the way we respond.

Give yourself the gift of Laser Therapy and sail through the Christmas chaos this year.

Calgary Laserworks is all about helping people empower themselves to live a healthier, happier life…including reducing stress!

Heritage Day in Alberta

Heritage Day is celebrated in Alberta on the first Monday of August each year. In 2015, Heritage Day falls on Monday August 3. Perfect, another summer long weekend ; )

Although it is not a statutory holiday, and businesses can choose whether or not to recognize the day as a general holiday, many Calgarians use this day as an optional holiday to celebrate the province’s heritage.

There are plenty of fun things to do with your family and friends.

If you love the outdoors, you may want to use the long weekend to go on a camping trip, a hiking tour, an afternoon stroll on our city’s fantastic pathways, a trip to the zoo, or even just a quiet retreat.

Many families visit Heritage Park and take a trip back through time, while others take in the festivities at Prince’s Island Park. A visit to the local museums, such as Fort Calgary, won’t disappoint. It celebrates Alberta’s Heritage Day with interpretive tours, movies, crafts, face paintings, a treasure hunt and genealogy presentations. Something for everyone!

Or maybe you prefer the indoors and that’s OK too! There are tons of things from which to choose. You can play board games at home, catch a movie, walk the mall, enjoy a concert, or even have a blast learning at the Science Centre.

For those who just love to kick back you could share a chat over a special coffee, or enjoy a leisurely meal at your favourite hangout. Whatever you do, celebrate in style…

We wish everyone a safe & enjoyable Heritage Day long weekend.
