DEEP TISSUE TRIGGER POINT BODYWORK
Trigger points are hyperirritable spots within taut bands of skeletal muscle fibres. They often manifest as knots or nodules and can cause localized or referred pain when compressed, and are in fact stored pain. These points may develop due to various factors, including, past trauma or accidents, poor posture, stress, or muscle overuse.

Naturopathic Medicine and Functional Medicine share a holistic, root-cause-oriented philosophy. From a naturopathic perspective, Functional Medicine is viewed as a modern, systems-based extension of traditional naturopathic principles, enhanced by advanced lab testing and biochemical analysis.
The aim:
How it is achieved:
We at Vitawell Wellness combine traditional naturopathic wisdom with modern scientific insights for individualized care.
Total Body Modification (TBM) Kinesiology is a therapy based on applied kinesiology principles. It views the body as an integrated energetic system using muscle testing as a feedback tool to locate disruptions in the body’s “energy circuits,” organ functions or communication pathways. These imbalances can interfere with normal health and that gentle non-invasive corrections help restore proper communication between the brain and body, supporting natural healing processes.
The goal is to “reset” the body’s communication system, helping organs and functions restore their natural coordination and balance.
Cancer-related fatigue is one of the most common side effects of cancer and its treatments. Like fatigue, cancer fatigue is whole-body exhaustion that you feel no matter how much sleep or rest you get.
Cancer fatigue takes exhaustion a step further: You feel physically, emotionally and mentally exhausted most of the time. Cancer fatigue may last a few weeks (acute) or for months or years (chronic).
To improve energy effectively, Geoff provides modalities ranging from mindfulness-based cognitive therapy therapies to herbal medicine and targeted nutritional interventions.
After the conclusion of cancer treatments, Vitawell strongly recommends that you follow our clinical detoxification program.
After the conclusion of medical treatments, side-effects have lingering issues preventing a good recovery.
Geoff’s personalized program is designed to help you regain strength, balance, and wellness through a sensible, gentle, and effective detoxification process. It’s a path to a renewed you.
Geoff provides personalised and appropriate dietary plans before, during and after cancer treatments.
He focuses on addressing your current nutritional status and develop the right diet for you.
“One size does not fit all” principle applies to your diet. Each person is unique and therefore variability exists between nutrient-sense diets.
Geoff provides a detailed 7 day menu plan, shopping lists and recipes that reflect food preferences and sensitivities. The menu plans are easy to follow. Each food is selected for its specific content of nutrients. Healthy foods positively support your whole person wellness.
We are increasingly aware that we face countless health challenges every day. Some of them will significantly contribute to a cancer diagnosis. We also have the tools to modify these challenges. Making proactive choices about your diet, increasing physical activity, managing stress, optimising hormonal balance, and minimising environmental exposures is a direct and potent strategy for your future health.
Geoff utilises validated Functional Medicine tests and blood work to identify the root causes of health issues and evaluate how different body systems interact and function. This approach aims to optimize overall health and well-being by addressing imbalances and deficiencies
Nutrition plays a foundational role in our health, influencing everything from our energy levels and mood to our susceptibility to illness. Nutritional Medicine is not just about avoiding unhealthy foods; it is about strategically using food and evidence-based nutritional supplements as therapeutic tools.
This approach recognises that each person’s nutritional needs are unique, influenced by their genetics, lifestyle, environment and specific health conditions.
