Inverters and inversion therapy could help you in many ways, available in Boquete

The merits of hanging around like a fruit bat. Gravity affects us all and as we get older the accumulative affect becomes more evident. Our posture changes, organs become squashed and restricted; the discs of the spine become compressed causing aches and pains. But this also restricts the circulation, our blood flow to our vital organs especially the brain.
Inversion therapy makes use of this gravity to stretch you out so to speak. By hanging around for a short while you can help to off-set its affect on your spine and organs. By using gravity to your advantage you can help degenerating discs, also helping to decompress your discs, reducing any constrictions. As the heart gets older, gravity and poor posture restrict its function getting a good supply of blood to the brain, and other organs becomes more difficult. Inversion therapy can help improve - oxygenation in general, headaches, fatigue, bowel function, the organs in general including the endocrine system (hormones), vision, immune system, lymphatic drainage and more. My advice to you – start off slowly only using it for a short time and at a shallow gradient until you get use to it. Like anything you have not done before proceed gradually. Our inversion machine is located in the pool area.

Do you know where your spleen is?

hs — Thu, 06 May 2010 01:32:10 +0000

The spleen is an organ situated to the left side of the stomach just opposite the liver. It’s the body’s largest lymph gland and is directly connected to the blood stream. This organ has two vital functions. One is to filter worn out and dead blood cells, as well as any abnormal ones. It also deals with any abnormal proteins that are filtered through the lymphatic system by making antibodies. The spleen works very hard especially during times of general infection such as colds and illnesses that affect the lymphatic system, such as glandular fever. The blood purifier Garlic and the immune-enhancing herb Echinacea can help to support the spleen.

Massage in Boquete – many important health benefit

hs — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 15:48:42 +0000

It would be a shame if you viewed a massage as a frivolous luxury you indulge in once in a while when you’re on holiday at some tropical holiday resort. Over the decades much research has uncovered the vast benefits a regular massage can bring, helping many conditions? There are various types of massage – all bring benefits as long as they are done well. A therapist might use fingers, hands, fists, elbows, fire arms, hot stones, shells, roll bamboo etc. During a massage, a therapist manipulates your body’s soft tissues — your muscles, skin, tendons etc.

You might get a massage at a country hotel, a holiday resort complex, a day spa in town, health club or in our case a spa/clinic/health club combination.

Of course a massage is not a cure all, nothing is but it can certainly be an important part of a healthy lifestyle. A massage will make you feel relaxed, and then there is deep tissue massage that can be a little uncomfortable, while your tight muscles are worked on. A therapist will always check if the pressure is too much or too little. Personally I like a deep massage which is too deep for most people; some people love a relaxation massage so it is important you are clear about what you want.

Massage as we all know relieves tension in muscles, encouraging relaxation, reducing stress and anxiety. Massage can also encourage your body to release natural painkillers, helping with aches and pains. There is evidence that massage can help boost the immune system.

The various types of massage we offer at the Spa and Clinic
