SUMMARY:Psoas Relief with the Buttafly Technique
DESCRIPTION:The psoas has been described as “one of the most influential and enigmatic muscular structures in the human body.” \nIt is the only muscle that directly links the spine with our lower limbs\, and it’s the only muscle I know of that has two books written solely about it… One author describes it as “very complicated”\, which kind of says it all! \n  \nFunctional Anatomy\nIn this session\, we will explore: \n\nKey roles of the psoas muscle in posture and movement;\nIt’s role in “gut feelings”;\nHow the psoas is affected by stress.\n\n  \n“Psoas Syndrome”\nThe psoas muscle can cause pain in your hips\, lower back\, butt and groin. Symptoms can often be related to iliopsoas bursitis\, as well as a variety of other musculoskeletal disorders. Many people have chronic symptoms that respond poorly to conventional treatments that tend to focus on stretching and “releasing” the psoas. \n  \nThe Buttafly Technique for Psoas Relief\nThe Buttafly Technique has been demonstrated to provide immediate relief for many sufferers of psoas pain. It is also an effective post-exercise release for cyclists. Come and find out how it can help you and what you can do to help prevent the recurrence of symptoms. \n  \nWhat you will need\n\nA Standard Buttafly if you want to be able to do the practical. Please note that the Flat Buttafly or the Tall are NOT suitable for the Buttafly Technique\nA yoga belt/dressing gown belt\nA wide scarf long enough to tie around your waist\n3 cushions\n2 pillows\n\n  \nPresented by\nLoulou James\, designer of the Buttafly and the Buttafly Technique\, and Spinal Health Specialist with 30 years of experience as a physiotherapist. \n  \nSuitability\nThis workshop is suitable for everyone who can independently get up and down from the floor. If you have any doubts about your suitability\, please contact Loulou here.

SUMMARY:The Buttafly Effect 7-Day Challenge
DESCRIPTION:A Healthy Spine for LIFE:\n\nFast\, effective back pain relief\nEffortless good posture\nBoost your vitality\n\nTreat Your Own Back\nAre you struggling with chronic back pain or recurrent pelvic pain and fed up with having to take painkillers and spend time and money on treatments that do not give lasting results? \nIf so\, the Buttafly Effect 7-Day Challenge\, A Healthy Spine for LIFE\, is for you. \nMy name is Loulou James\, and I help people overcome back pain and achieve spinal health with groundbreaking tools and techniques that are accessible to almost everyone. \nAn essential part of my approach is the Buttafly\, which I conceived as an ergonomic meditation seat and yoga block\, drawing on my expertise as a physiotherapist and yoga teacher. \nSoon after the Buttafly was launched\, I discovered a way of using it while lying down that facilitates a natural and curative release of the spine and results in the “Buttafly Effect”—a myriad of transformations throughout body and mind. \nThrough using the Buttafly in this way to help myself and my clients\, a technique evolved\, and my knowledge of the spine and understanding of the cause of back pain accumulated over 30 years of working in the military\, the NHS\, and private practice has been forever changed. \nA Holistic Approach\nThe Buttafly Technique offers both a corrective and a preventative measure\, providing a unique way for you to look after the health of your spine daily and in the comfort of your home. \nTo shepherd you through the process\, the Buttafly Effect 7-Day Challenge offers a unique combination of body-mind practices centred around the Buttafly Technique to bring your spine and whole being back into balance. \nTogether\, we will work to renew your trust in your body’s wisdom so that you can experience pain relief\, enjoy effortless good posture\, and ultimately get back to doing the things you love most. \nThe Buttafly Technique is not just a technique. It’s a healing journey that aims to replace your fears with hope and renew your confidence in yourself. \nEquipment Required\n\nA Standard Buttafly\n2 pillows\n2 cushions\nHeavy blanket\, preferably of natural fibre\n\nDetails\nThe Buttafly Effect 7-Day Challenge will take place at the same time every day from Monday\, 1st July\, until Sunday\, 7th July. \nThe sessions will be recorded for you to watch in the event that you cannot make the session live.

SUMMARY:Little Slice of Heaven & Rinskys Holistic Fayre
DESCRIPTION:Local holistic events are a fabulous way to learn about different treatments and new products. I will be offering the Buttafly Technique to those who would like to experience a natural realignment of their spine. \nMany people come looking for help for a particular condition. Two weeks ago\, at the Health and Healing Festival in York\, I treated a young man with scoliosis\, a mum of four with sciatica\, and a lady with acute back pain. \nThen\, a lovely lady called Trish\, in her late seventies\, had a treatment just because she likes trying new things. She was a real inspiration and had travelled the world taking courses in jungle medicine\, energy healing and all sorts of similar things. We could have talked for hours\, and my friend Susan and I are keen for her to write a book! \nIn addition\, the Buttaflys will be available for purchase\, and the Bespoke Buttaflys will be there for you to try out and order. \nBoldre is set in a beautiful part of the New Forest between Lymington and Brockenhurst\, a stone’s throw from Setley Pond where I like to practice yoga. \nTasty homemade hot and cold food will be available\, with vegan and gluten-free options. If the weather is nice\, there’s a lovely picnic area to enjoy the Spring sunshine. \nIt would be lovely to see you.

SUMMARY:A Healthy Neck for Life
DESCRIPTION:A holistic approach to the daily care of your neck\n\nApplied anatomy\nNormal movement of the neck\nUnraveling posture of the neck\nErgonomics\nThe role of neck exercises\nExploring the emotional connections of the neck using Organ Mind Brain Anatomy™\nPreventative care for your neck\nHow to manage neck pain when you’ve got it\n\nAlignment of the neck and movement therapy\nWe will explore the applied anatomy of the neck to understand how daily spine realignment with the Buttafly Technique and appropriate exercise can benefit us. \nLifestyle Medicine\nI wish I’d known about Lifestyle Medicine when I was working as a physio in the NHS. Not only would my patients have been better off\, but it would have made a world of difference to me. For a number of years\, I suffered from recurrent neck problems that had me struggling for days on end with my head stuck on one side. It was incredibly painful\, and treatment from my colleagues didn’t help. At the time\, no one understood why. That made everything worse because I worried that they would think I was making it up. \nLooking back\, through the lens of Lifestyle Prescriptions® Health Coaching\, which is based on Organ Mind Brain Anatomy™\, I now understand the emotional connections of my symptoms and can clearly see what was needed for a lasting “soul-ution.” \nPresented By\nThis online workshop is presented by Loulou James\, the designer of the Buttafly\, a spinal health specialist with 30 years of physiotherapy experience\, yoga teacher and a student of Lifestyle Prescriptions® Health Coaching. \nWhat you will need\nThe Buttafly Technique and other techniques using both the Standard Buttafly and the Flat Buttafly will be included to realign the spine from top to tail. You will get the most out of this workshop if you have both\, but at a bare minimum\, you need the Standard Buttafly. \nInvestment\nPay what you can afford: £22/£33/£44 \nPlease note: A minimum number of 5 participants is required for this workshop to go ahead.
