Matrix-Wellbeing

The vicious cycle of fibromyalgia. It takes at least 6 therapy sessions and 3 months to really start noticing changes - contact me if you're interested in starting to feel more at ease again.

Fibromyalgia affects many of my clients. Using BMS Matrix Therapy with the water-filtered infrared lamp has produced fantastic results in reduced flare-ups and overall pain management. Follow the link below to find some recent studies into the effect of photobiomodulation or ask the AI.

Effectiveness of Photobiomodulation Therapy in the Management of Fibromyalgia Syndrome: A Systematic Review Fibromyalgia syndrome is a chronic pain condition involving altered nociceptive processing, which requires multidisciplinary management. Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) has recently emerged as a promising non-pharmacological approach, but its clinical effectiveness and optimal application methods....

It's autumnal out there and the apples are ready!!! This is a fairly straightforward recipe for an apple cake that easily keeps for 1 week.

Bloody Butcher Apple Cake
Ingredients (for 20cm tin, 8 pieces)
3 apples (bloody butcher or another firm cooker, peeled, cored and grated approx. 250 gr), 60 gr mixed peel or raisins, 75 ml olive oil, 1 egg, 1 tbs hot water, 100 gr demerara sugar, 1 pinch of salt, 100 gr spelt flour, 80 gr wholemeal flour, 2 tps baking powder, ½ tsp cinnamon, icing sugar for dusting.
Mix sugar with oil and water until it is slightly dissolved, add the egg and whisk thoroughly. Add everything else, mix it well and pour into greased tin. Bake at 180°C in the middle of the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes. Let it cool off and dust with icing sugar.

BMS Matrix therapy works on the micro cellular level and is highly effective in treating fluid retention and tingling in the legs. The 5 star review is not related to the pictures; it is by a young lady whereas the before and after are of a long-standing cancer client.

Nerve cells as indicator of ECM health

Neurons (nerve cells) send information to the brain in form of neurotransmitters, which are chemical messengers in our body. Their job is to transmit signals from nerve cells to target cells. These target cells may be in muscles, glands, or other nerves. If you look at the picture, you can see the yellow part is the ECM (extracellular matrix, interstitial fluid or in my words “magic goo") and this is the interesting part as if the ECM is unhealthy, the whole transmission chain starts to suffer. Neurons are very sensitive to any change within the ECM and send signals if they are in distress be this due to temperature, mechanical (injury) or chemical (acidosis) stress. Biomechanical stimulation such as massage helps keep the ECM fit and healthy and neurons happy! Or in other words: if you suffer with nerve pain, try massage!
