Activate your Swing - Douglas Heel

Price - £40.00 (including VAT)

This program is for golfers of all ages and skill level. 

 Developed by Douglas Heel, Logical Activation is a system designed to enhance the body's ability to perform.  It allows your body to access the flexibility, stregth and power for your golf game by releasing the body's defence patterns that hold your game back. 

Logical Activation teaches you how to activate yourself, and immediately feel the results in your body.  The techniques are simple and can be applied before, during or after your round.

Douglas will guide you through the Activation process and is assisted by top international golf instructor, Robert Baker.  This program will build the essentials for your swing from the centre out, allowing you to immediately feel the difference.

Butt Bungi

Price - £40.00 (including VAT)

The Butt Bungi can be used by golfers of all levels, from the top tour professionals to the weekend warrior. Developed by Douglas Heel it brings a powerful and innovative way to get more from your golf swing, giving you added power and a balanced free flowing swing.

When executing a golf swing, the glute (butt) muscles are the most important muscles used. All the other muscles take their cue to fire from this region, so if this doesn’t happen efficiently then the body will move into a series of compensations which decreases a golfer’s power, balance and flexibility.  The Butt Bungi encourages the body to use the powerful glute muscles, which are the basic building block to any swing.

Without them there is reduced rotation in the hips and shoulders and a loss of balance and power. The Butt Bungi first teaches your body to find the right muscles, and then by swinging in the Butt Bungi, to fire in the right sequence, giving you balance, power and ease of swing that will be evident from the first swing.

The pack includes the Butt Bungi belt, 2 double cords running to a karabiner, a 6 step exercise programme and an attachment that allows you to train wherever you are, inside or out!

Painful Yarns by Lorimer Moseley

Price - £15.00

This much anticipated collection of stories, written by Oxford University Fellow and Pain Scientist, Dr GL Moseley, provides an entertaining and informative way to understand modern pain biology.

Described by critics as 'a gem' and by clinicians as 'entertaining and educative', painful yarns is a unique book. The stories, some of his travels in outback Australia, some of experiences growing up, are great yarns. At the end of each story, there is a section "so what has this got to do with pain?" in which Lorimer uses the story as a metaphor for some aspect of pain biology.

The level of the pain education is appropriate for patients and health professionals. The entertainment is good for everyone. You don't have to be interested in pain to get something from this book and a laugh or two!

For trusts wishing to submit a purchase order, details can be found by clicking here.

Reviews:

"Moseley is pain management's answer to James Herriot. This book captures that elusive ability to both educate and entertain."

Dr Michael Thacker, Director, Pain Science Program, Kings College, London

"When reading, it is always a good sign when you start to cry from laughing....this is clearly the best book about clinical pain that I have ever read."

Dr John Keltner, MD (Harvard) Pain Physician, Anethiologist and Research fellow, Oxford University.

"Painful yarns are about life. The way Moseley turns them into metaphors about pain is brilliant. This is a real gem."

Diane Wilkinson, Freelance Writer.

"I love a good story....but the best bit was that when the stories were compared to how pain works, it made sense."

Dimos, Lorry Driver (not Hino's), with chronic back pain.

"Persistent pain can be very difficult to understand. These stories provide an engaging, scientifically accurate way of explaining ...they will help people understand their pain and help health care professionals understand the pain of their patients."

Professor Francis J Keefe, Pain Prevention and Treatment Research Program, Duke University Medical Centre, Duke University, USA.

The Com-Pressor Pelvic Compression Belt

Renowned author and clinician Diane Lee introduces a new specific pelvic compression belt that allows both the location and amount of compression to be easily adjusted around the pelvic girdle. Through the use of removable elastic compression bands, The Com-Pressor^TM provides compression to the sacroiliac joints (SIJ's) and the pubic symphysis (PS) specifically where the individual needs it the most.

Research has shown* that the core muscles (transverses abdominis and multifidus) increase compression of the SIJ's. It is felt that transverses abdominis helps to compress the front of the pelvis (the PS), while multifidus helps compress the back of the pelvis (SIJ's). The Com-Pressor^TM helps provide stability to the pelvis and when combined with professionally supervised retraining of the lumbopelvic muscles, a functional corset is restored.

Designed for treatment of impaired core muscle function, The Com-Pressor^TM is indicated for:

• Recent or past pregnancy
• Recent or past abdominal or back surgery
• Recent or past low back or pelvic sprain
• Improper training strategies that have led to imbalanced muscle function
• Poor posture
• Reflex loss of muscle function secondary to visceral pain, inflammation, infection

It is fully adjustable and unlike some other SI belts which only allow compression at the back, with The Com-Pressor^TM pressure can be adjusted so it is applied at the front or back, left or right and the amount it is needed. This offers the ultimate in comfort and effectiveness. For those who are pregnant please consult us before ordering as it may well be the Mother to Be Belt is more suitable.

BELTS ARE UNFORTUNATELY NON REFUNDABLE ONCE PURCHASED 

WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND TRYING A SAMPLE FROM YOUR THERAPIST BEFORE ORDERING.

THE Com-Pressor comes in 3 sizes. Please order the correct size:

• Small (up to and including 37" hips)
