Spring Cleaning for Your Body!
Published April 17, 2012 | 
Have you been plagued with colds all winter? Are you dreading the arrival of spring knowing your allergies are on their way? Are you always tired? Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired? If you answered yes, it’s time to give your body a spring cleaning!
A healthy immune system works by responding appropriately to threats posed to the body. It’s obvious that the immune system is weak and under-reacting when our body is unable to control a virus and allows it to turn into a full blown cold or infection; or is over-reacting when an allergic reaction occurs in response to dust and pollen causing all kinds of unwanted symptoms. When a virus enters the body, the immune system is supposed to launch an attack to keep it from multiplying and spreading out of control. Or when dust or pollen enters the lungs, the immune system is supposed to clear out the allergen without any noticeable symptoms.
BodyTalk is a consciousness-based healthcare system that balances accumulated stress and resulting disease within the bodymind. By reconnecting lines of communication within the body, its internal mechanisms are able to function at optimal levels, thus allowing the body to repair and prevent disease while rapidly accelerating the healing process. When all parts and systems of the body communicate with each other, healing happens naturally. This process is shown by the healing sequence that occurs automatically when we cut our finger. However, the stresses of everyday life can cause communication breakdowns, resulting in discomfort and disease. BodyTalk works by identifying these breakdowns and using a light tapping technique to restore overall communication, thus helping the body heal itself.
When we have a healthy immune system, we are better equipped to fight off invasive substances that enter the body. When our immune system is weak or when our body is out of balance, we get sick more often, allergies arise out of thin air, and we feel as though we’re always tired. If you’re feeling like this, it’s time to give your body a spring cleaning and get it back on track to healing!

At Filosofi, we are a collection of practitioners offering solutions to health problems. There is no secret as to why we work together. This is because the real magic happens when therapies are used in combination to get quicker, longer lasting results.
Each of us has a unique background in our training and experience in different sports and activities. Often times to get look at and treated by more than one practitioner offers different therapeutic benefits, but also offers another opinion or insight.
Laser therapy combined with massage creates a two-pronged approach. Laser is a biochemical stimulus that triggers cellular and tissue processes on a molecular level to initiate the healing. Massage is a physical stimulus that stimulates tissue repair. Both can be used as stand alone treatments, combined they enhance the therapeutic benefit each has to offer.
Nutrition should always be considered. Are there certain things you consume that promote inflammation or slow the healing process? Are you missing a key nutrient?
Regaining health is a process that involves a sequence of events with the correct ingredients. Working in collaboration with the different practitioners at Filosofi can help provide the best approach to regaining and maintaining your health for a lifetime.
