Jet
Therapy: Treatments that work!
Jet
therapy uses natural pure air that passes through a special agitator
jet to deliver an exceptionally deep penetrating massage that significantly
increases the activity of the lymphatic & circulatory systems. Outstanding
results for reducing cellulite, diminishing facial lines and detoxifying
the body.
Stimulates
Circulation:
JET
THERAPY brings instant relief to people suffering from numbness, cold
feet, stiffness, tingling, pins & needles etc. by stimulating and
increasing the blood circulation to the area. People afflicted with
degenerative circulatory disorders have found it to be especially effective.
If you find it hard to sleep or are woken during the night with pain
then JET THERAPY may be the answer for you.
Norman
Spekham explained: “I have for years suffered from bad circulation.
I was a keen walker but could no longer walk because of the excruciating
pain. The results after only three treatments have been astounding.
The circulation has returned to my feet and the pain in my calves is
no longer as severe.”
Cellulite
Removal:
JET
THERAPY is every woman’s answer to Cellulite Removal. Most women,
regardless of shape and size, struggle with unsightly bubbles of fat
on the legs, thighs, buttocks, hips, stomach, etc.
WHAT
CAUSES THE BUILD UP OF CELLULITE?
JET
THERAPY treats the condition of microcirculation deficiency which precipitates
damage to fat tissue. Poor circulation causes a fatty build-up in the
tissues, which eventually causes the lymphatic and blood vessel walls
to permeate. When this happens the vessels leak fluid into the surrounding
tissues creating further congestion. This congestion causes swelling
which is visible on the skin surface as the unsightly bumps and the
orange peel effect. The congestion in the tissues also hinders toxin
drainage and the transfer of nutrients such as oxygen to the tissue.
The connective tissue becomes progressively damaged until it eventually
scars, trapping the fat cells within, causing those unsightly surface
bumps.
WHY
JET THERAPY IS SUCCESSFUL IN REMOVING CELLULITE?
Cellulite
removal cannot be achieved simply by dieting - the cellulite has to
be broken down by external manipulation. JET THERAPY uses a technological
deviation that uses pure air to facilitate deep massage to these areas.
Perfectly painless; no surgical interventions, only pure air. Promotes
blood circulation through a deep penetrative massage. JET THERAPY increases
urinary output eliminating toxins in the body and encourages fluid toxin
elimination through the skin surface.
Sports
Injuries:
Any
sports injury that will benefit from a deep penetrative massage, will
have positive results from a JET THERAPY treatment. The treatment increases
the blood flow and oxygen to the damaged area thereby speeding up the
recovery time.
JET
THERAPY has successfully treated tennis elbow, sprains, hamstrings,
ligaments, back and neck pain as well as accident victims.
De-toxing
Massage:
Jet
Therapy is an external, deep penetrating massage applied to the body
using cold compressed air, which stimulates circulation in the body
tissues and the micro vessels.
Jet
Therapy increases the activity of the lymphatic and vascular systems
thereby improving the body’s ability to remove and expel toxins
from the tissues. As a result the urinary output is increased and there
is an increase in expiration via the skin, which helps eliminate toxins
from the body.
Facial
Wrinkle Treatment:
The
facial jet not only smoothes out wrinkles but also has a constricting
action on the micro vessels in the skin. This causes a reflex action
in the facial muscles and nerves and simultaneously stimulates the circulation
to counteract the drop in temperature. This is very effective in ageing
skin where the factors of a natural decrease in circulation, a decrease
in hormones and as a result of lack of oxygen and nourishment, have
caused the skin to become slack. An additional benefit of this treatment
is the exfoliation of the area brought about by the air expelled under
pressure directly onto the skin, which results in the skin taking on
a healthy glow.

Personal
Training: Shape up for summer!
with
Brad
Sheppard – Peak Physique Personal Training
People
always ask me how to shape up; they are constantly in a search for new
methods, new strategies & new ideas on how to improve their body.
The bottom line is that if you are active (exercise) above & beyond
your energy intake (food consumed), then your body will be burning those
nutrients most efficiently. The best strategy is to, then, do more activity.
One
of the major satisfactions that I & the team at Peak Physique feel
is not only getting great results for people, but, seeing that habitual
change that takes place when somebody embraces their fitness program.
Of course, we help with the construction & tuition, however if the
individual does not commit themselves to performing regular activity
then the challenge is much greater.
The
time to shape up for summer is now! The countdown is on until Christmas
with only 8 weeks left, and this becomes a popular time to create &
help people achieve their goals through exercise. One of the major influences
becomes the holiday period, “I want to look great before I go on
holidays”, “I want to wear a bikini this summer”, “I
want to feel more comfortable in the heat”. If you are familiar
with some of these comments then you are already motivated to achieving
your goals. That’s great, so let me give you a few strategies that
we use at Peak Physique to help our clients achieve their goals constantly.
1)
Move More – We thoroughly encourage exercise. I would rather see
my client enjoy their glass of wine AND perform the exercise, rather
than trying to adhere to restrictive diets!
2)
Eat Less Carbohydrate – We love carbohydrate (as many do!), however,
we encourage the moderation of carb’s, as the over consumption
of carbohydrate can contribute to making you fat!
3)
Perform strength training – A stronger muscle uses more energy,
increases your metabolism and makes you able to do so much more in life.
4)
Enjoy Every Session – There’s nothing worse than feeling like
exercise is a drag! Start to link positive thoughts & feelings to
your exercise regime, do something you enjoy. At Peak Physique we always
make sure that;you are having fun. If you’re having fun the exercise
becomes much less challenging.

Salt
Crystal Lamps : Naturally Beautiful..... Naturally Healthy
Salt
Crystal Lamps are a natural, effortless way to enhance your well being,
and a beautifully unique addition to your home décor. Non-illuminated
(cool) salt crystals work as mini ionisers, however the Salt Crystal
Lamps (warm) which are illuminated from inside emit a higher number
of negative ions.
Unlike
some mass-produced items, each Salt Crystal Lamp has been carefully
handcrafted and is unique - no two are alike on the planet. Salt crystal
lamps are made from salt crystal rock formed by nature over hundreds
of millions of years ago, and mined 800 metres underground in salt rock
mines in Asia and Europe.
The
salt crystal lamps are carefully hand shaped to retain the unique, natural
shape and crystal structure of the salt rock. Explosives and standard
methods of washing by water vapour are avoided when mining the salt
crystal rock for the lamps we recommend. Salt crystal rocks of such
clear and beautiful colours are rare, only to be found in limited locations
in the world.

Laughter
is the best medicine
A
judge was punishing three men because they had committed a crime. Their
sentence was a few years in the desert. He said that they could each
take one thing with them.
The
first guy decides to take an umbrella, so that he can have shade whenever
he wants.
The
second guy decides to take a water bottle so that he won't get thirsty.
Finally,
the third guy decides to take a car door.
The
judge asked, "Why in the world would you want to take a car door?"
The man replies, "Just in case it gets hot, I can roll down the
window."

of the month
