A Nurse's Point of View

Het is weer de tijd van het jaar om plezier te hebben en genieten van de vrije dagen.  Dit is ook het moment waarop de familie met veel dingen bezig is. Feestjes organiseren, lekker eten koken, winkelen voor nieuwe dingen zoals kleding, schoenen, tassen, accessoires en nog veel meer. Een van de belangrijkste dingen die we niet moeten vergeten tijdens deze feestdagen is het geven van cadeaus. We houden er allemaal van om iets speciaals te geven aan onze geliefden, familie, collega's en vrienden, maar natuurlijk willen we ook graag iets krijgen. Maar volgens het gezegde : "Het is beter om te geven dan om te krijgen" :)  Of het nu een grandioos cadeau is, zoals nieuwe accessoires, designerkleding en tassen, horloges of een eenvoudige wenskaart, bloemen, chocolaatjes, cakes, sjaal, een zakdoek of iets anders waarvan we denken dat het de persoon zal maken gelukkig, we zullen het met plezier doen. Maar een van de beste geschenken die u kunt geven, is een geschenk

How Often Should You Get a Massage? Hippocrates, the father of Medicine said...  “The way to health is to have an aromatic bath and a scented massage everyday” A professor  in the School of Public Health in the University of Illinois, Chicago and a co-founder and chief scientist at Lapetus Solutions, Inc S. Jay Olshansky emphasized this... "Find a way to get a full body massage everyday"  And Ana Ivanovic, a retired Serbian professional tennis player has this to say...  "I get massages almost daily. Sometimes I fall asleep during the massage but it's very important to get deep tissue massages because that type recovers muscles best"  So how often?  Everyday! .... wouldn't it be great? :)  Well, that would be nice but maybe it wouldn't be so practical. This is one of the most common questions clients ask about massage therapy. Usually my answer would be that "it will all be dependent on what the client

Yesterday one of my clients is Marc. He went to me last week for a neck and back pain treatment but more specifically the lower back pain which radiates to his hips and down his right leg. Accordingly, it has been bothering him for years already. As a nurse and a massage practitioner my job is to provide not only relaxation but also help loosen tight muscles which mostly are the causes of pain in the different areas of the body. In this regard, I am talking about the cases that I have handled so far. But of course there are other reasons why a person is having pain like posture imbalances, sedentary life, chronic pain which may be caused by some diseases and will require the expertise of a doctor or a specialist and other medical professionals. Massage therapists/practitioners (except for MT's who have specialization and can do diagnosis)  are not allowed to make diagnosis, one of our jobs is to provide relaxation and in other cases stress and pain reduction. We advise the cl

The contents of this blog (which I have rewritten) is based on the pamphlet of Iglesia Ni Cristo which I would like to share to everyone who is interested to know more about the teachings of the Church of Christ and what it upholds which are all based on the teachings of the Holy Bible. The Iglesia ni Cristo (Church of Christ) is a Christian religion whose primary purpose is to serve and worship the Almighty God based on His teachings recorded in the Bible. It is not a denomination or sect. It is neither affiliated to any federation or religious bodies nor itself an assembly of smaller churches or religious organizations. This Church is for everyone who heeds the call of God and embraces its faith - regardless of one's race, nationality, cultural background, social standing, economic status and educational attainment. BEGINNINGS The Iglesia Ni Cristo was preached by Brother Felix Y. Manalo, God's Messenger in these last days, and was registered in the Philippine
