What 'self care' means to me..
"I support self-care to ensure my energy reserves are kept at an optimum level, so I can support my partner, friends and my work and life projects. My days begin with an assessment of that energy, adding in and taking away the things I need in order to have a balance in my life.
I co-direct and manage a company called PhysioPod UK Ltd. We specialise in the supply, training, aftercare and support of a patented therapy called DEEP OSCILLATION®, which is electrostatic lymphatic drainage massage and is applied through gloved hands or applicators, also enabling self-care. It is used in sports/ occupational injuries and post-surgery and in the NHS for the management of Lymphoedema and Lipoedema. PhysioPod brought deep oscillation into the UK in 2006. Self-care with a personal unit has enabled a better quality of life for those that live with these conditions, resulting in less pain, swelling and discomfort."
