Dog Therapy Calms Autistic Children
Health For Life is pleased to introduce the addition of a new staff member. Scout, a two-year-old Labrador/Golden Retriever mix, received her training to assist the visually impaired at the Guide Dog Foundation in New York. When an illness forced her into an early retirement, Scout did what many Americans do; she moved to Florida. She was then adopted by Sylvie Morin, Doctor of Oriental Medicine and owner of Health For Life who explains, "A lot of hard work and financial donations went into training this guide dog. It made sense to adopt Scout, care for her health, and retool her skills to become the clinic’s therapy dog." Scout can be found greeting patients or lying by them quietly while they receive their acupuncture treatment; however, her main task is to accompany autistic children into the hyperbaric chamber. "Therapy dogs have the ability to calm us," continues Dr. Sylvie. "Scout’s reassuring presence is very helpful in keeping children occupied while they are in the confined space of the hyperbaric chamber." Keeping with the natural philosophy, Scout’s health is kept stable with a special diet, herbal medicine, and hyperbaric treatments.
Health For Life is located at 402 N. Babcock St., Suite 101, Melbourne. For information or to schedule a free health consultation, call 321-259-0555.
Downtown Melbourne Massage Therapy
Amanda Lewis, LMT, continues to learn new massage techniques to help benefit clients dealing with chronic pain, stress, and an inability to relax. She uniquely calls herself a good mechanic quoting Clair Davies, author of several trigger point therapy books: "A good mechanic cared about the details and he stuck with the job until he got it right. He could find the solution to a problem even if it wasn’t in the book." Amanda suggests clients will not only feel more relaxed when their massage session is complete, they will also have less pain, stiffness, and more flexibility in joints, extremities, neck, and back. Offering Swedish, deep tissue, Myofascial Release, and Lymphatic Drainage massage, Amanda has six years experience and is dedicated to addressing the individual issues of each client.

The Gauzeway Offers "Smart Clothing"
