2 YOUR HEALTH IS YOUR WEALTH Brisbane Wellnation Clinic Photographer: Daniel Maddock Our Promise After a visit with a Senior Student Practitioner at Wellnation Clinics, you re going to feel great. You ll feel great because your health concerns will be actively listened to by someone who s passionate about helping heal others. You ll feel great because the individual treatment plan prescribed for you will teach you how to support your healing in partnership with your practitioner, under the guidance of a qualified supervisor, with your complete and long term wellbeing in mind. Wellnation Clinics Endeavour College of Natural Health, Wellnation Clinics and all our Senior Student Practitioners embrace the natural health philosophy of holism. We believe mind, body and spirit need to be in balance and harmony if health and wellbeing are to be maintained. There are no limits to the range of diseases and disorders that can be treated in a holistic way.

3 OUR SERVICES Naturopathy Naturopathy is all about finding the innate point of balance within each individual. Naturopaths trust in your body s inherent wisdom to heal itself and acknowledge that all bodies are truly unique. They look beyond symptoms to identify and treat underlying causes of illness by considering you as a whole mind, body and spirit. Your practitioner will search for the most natural, least invasive and least toxic therapies to address your health concerns. You can expect a visit to a naturopath to take one hour or more. A naturopath will take a very thorough wellness history, asking about your diet, lifestyle, stress, and environmental exposures. They may also conduct a physical examination, take your blood pressure, check your pulse, take photos of your iris and possibly request further laboratory tests if necessary. Alongside prescribed therapies (which may include nutritional counselling, herbal medicine, flower essences and iridology) your practitioner will work to empower you to make the lifestyle changes necessary to achieve and proactively maintain the best possible health. Nutritional Medicine Nutritional Medicine is all about your relationship with food (glorious food!) and understanding not only how it fuels and energises your body but how foods can be used as medicine to assist in the treatment of a broad range of health conditions. You can expect a visit to a nutritionist to be focused on gaining an understanding of your food habits and diet. A nutritionist will consider your health concerns in view of the foods you eat, from the perspective of their therapeutic potential, and will provide dietary advice and/or prescribe nutritional supplements to help fuel your body to restore itself to balance. Homeopathy Homeopathy is all about gentle and holistic healing. The difference between homeopathy and other forms of treatment is that homeopathy does not treat the disease but the person who is experiencing the illness you. Homeopathic remedies use plant, mineral or animal substances to stimulate the body s ability to heal itself and strengthen overall constitution. You can expect a visit to a homeopath to be run between one hour and one hour and a half. During your initial visit a homeopath will look to paint your Patient picture, uncovering details of past and present symptoms, both physical and mental-emotional. The better the homeopath understands you as a whole individual patient, the better they can match the most similar Remedy picture for your condition from the homeopathic pharmacy (Materia Medica).

4 Acupuncture Acupuncture is all about stimulating and enhancing the body s self-healing power. At the core of the practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine is a unique and wider view of holism: the human body as one organic part of the surrounding universe, connected with nature. By balancing the human body s distinct yet interdependent functions, practitioners aim to eliminate disease and promote best possible health. You can expect a visit to an acupuncturist to involve four methods to evaluate your condition: observing (the condition of your tongue, for example), hearing/smelling, interviewing and palpating (taking your pulse, for example). Acupuncture treatment involves the use of thin metal needles which are inserted through the skin at specific points which run along the body s meridians. This treatment aims to restore the flow of Qi (vital force) that has been disrupted with illness-causing blockages and imbalance. Stop Smoking with the NADA Protocol The NADA Protocol is a worldrenowned series of acupuncture treatments for smoking addiction. Acupuncture offers a safe, effective and chemical free way to support people motivated to quit their smoking addiction for good. Ask us about booking a group or individual session. Musculoskeletal Therapy (MST)/ Myotherapy MST and Myotherapy are all about identifying and addressing the underlying causes of musculoskeletal conditions as well as treating the symptoms. Techniques used in MST and myotherapy are implemented with a long term pain relief solution in mind. You can expect a visit to a MST/Myotherapy practitioner to be different from a visit to a remedial massage therapist in that there is a greater focus on assessing the underlying causes of your condition. Your practitioner will work with you to develop a holistic plan of management which may include exercise prescription, diet/nutritional measures, postural awareness, as well as hands-on techniques including lymphatic drainage, stretching, deep soft tissue massage, cupping and dry needling. Remedial Massage Remedial Massage is mainly about treating aching muscles and any associated tension. The healing power of touch is known to be universally effective not just in providing relief for physical pain and tension, but also as a holistic therapy. And it can also help with your overall mental and emotional wellbeing. You can expect a visit with a Remedial Massage Therapist to involve a short physical assessment and discussion of your treatment plan, focussed on uncovering the source of your complaint, followed by hands on treatment that can be gentle or strong, deep or shallow. Oil may be applied directly on the skin during treatment to ensure the muscles being treated are deeply penetrated using techniques such as trigger point therapy, myofascial release and positional release.

5 Tui Na Massage Tui Na Massage is all about soft tissue treatment, skeletal alignment, and balancing of your Qi (life force). It s a branch of Chinese medicine that treats the patient using only the practitioners hands to bring about a change in the patient s condition. Tui Na is a complete system of medicine, giving it the ability to address both internal diseases and external injuries. Its unique logic and methods of diagnosis and treatment set it apart from all other health sciences. You can expect a visit with a Tui Na practitioner to be the least invasive form of Traditional Chinese Medicine. This style of massage is performed while you are fully clothed, no herbs are prescribed and no needles are used. Relaxation Massage Relaxation Massage is all about flowing and rhythmic treatment that aims to decrease physical and emotional stress, promote relaxation, increase blood flow and reduce muscular tension. This treatment uses a variety of techniques, including massage, myofascial release and stretching. Oil is applied to the skin to allow sliding and kneading. The therapist uses hands, fingers, thumbs, forearms and elbows, applying gentle pressure at a level comfortable for the client to the soft tissues of the body (including muscles, tendons and connective tissue). A full body relaxation massage will generally include the following areas: back, back of the legs and feet, front of the legs, abdomen, chest, arms and hands, neck, face and scalp. Clients are able to decide which areas of the body they wish to include. The treatment lasts 45 minutes, with towel draping to ensure comfort and privacy. All sessions will include a short physical assessment.
