Good Health Therapy Centre
by Julie Green, Red Rose Directories
I have just returned from the Good Health Therapy Centre owned by Dougie Tobutt of Tobutt Sports. The therapy centre is based above Dougie’s sports shop on Blackburn Rd, Astley Bridge (opposite Asda). The Good Health Therapy Centre opened 12 months ago and has attracted local therapists who have joined the team offering a variety of treatments and therapies.
During my visit today I met with Brenda Kirkham for a Kinesiology treatment and then Dougie for a La Stone Massage.
Brenda comes from a nursing background and has been studying complementary therapies for the last five years. Kinesiology, one of her specialities, can have a dramatic improvement on your health. When I met Brenda, I didn’t know anything about Kinesiology but she explained that it can identify a range of problems such as food intolerances which may be causing many different symptoms such as headaches, bowel problems, anxiety, aches and pains, psoriasis and more…
I was asked briefly about my medical history and then Brenda carried out a series of muscle tests. The muscle tests relate to certain parts of the body and are used to show weaknesses and deficiencies in my body. I was asked to resist against Brenda putting pressure on my arms and legs and try as I might, certain tests forced me to drop my arm indicating a weakness. Brenda also used techniques to balance my energy. Kinesiology is based on the Oriental System of Meridians and the acupressure points within that system.
I discovered I had intolerance to wheat, rye and oats, so there goes porridge for breakfast! Brenda informed me my body was deficient in absorbing protein and that levels of arsenic in my body were too high. Brenda suggested foods containing sulphur to counteract the arsenic. I was also advised to avoid wheat, oats and rye for about 4 weeks and then gradually reintroduce them to my diet. The information I was given made a lot of sense to me personally and I could relate to what she was saying.
Once my energy had been rebalanced and my muscles had revealed the problems of my inner workings, I had an appointment with Dougie, an Advanced La Stone Therapist and Life Coach. You will probably have read his regular articles in
Red Rose Directories.
La Stone uses deep penetrating heated stones alternating with chilled stones, to bring about a chemical release within the body’s system to balance and recharge you mentally, emotionally and physically.
I was asked if I had any back problems, pains etc, to which I said no. Little did I know of the beastly knots I had lurking in my back which had built up over the years. I had some tension under my right shoulder blade when I last had a diagnostic massage, which was about 4 years ago. As the hot and cold stone were applied during the La Stone massage it became apparent that the tension was still there and had got worse. Dougie worked the hot and cold stones on my knotted up areas. He used the hot stones to tap on different areas to break down the tension, which gave lots of relief to my back, shoulders and neck. La Stone is not a pampering treatment; it is an effective treatment for aches, pains and other problems such as sciatica.
After the massage I really did feel mentally, emotionally and physically recharged. In fact I felt that the treatment was so beneficial I have already booked my next appointment in a week’s time to really work on my back and restore flexibility to my spine.

Thank you to Brenda and Dougie, for a fantastic experience and for providing me a deeper understanding of myself.
