6 Tuesday March 24 2020 Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz WESTERN NEWS Southern ChiropraCtiC 3 kennedys bush rd, halswell (upstairs) How chiropractic care helps Routine chiropractic care provides sufferers of low back pain a safe, non- invasive treatment that is an alternative to prescription medications and reliance on over the counter pain relievers. The common goal of most chiropractic techniques is to restore or to enhance joint function, with the subsequent benefit of resolving joint inflammation and reducing pain. Some approaches use some force (spinal manipulation), while others are more gentle (spinal mobilisation). Andre Grob, Principal Chiropractor at Southern Chiropractic in Halswell, says a key factor to living with a spine or back pain condition is staying healthy. Overall wellness is a combination of a balanced diet, appropriate exercise and physical activity, restful sleep and positive lifestyle choices. Identifying the symptoms, along with an accurate diagnosis of the underlying cause of the pain, is the first step in obtaining effective pain relief. Chiropractic treatments for low back pain consistently rate among the top most beneficial natural therapies providing an holistic approach to treating back pain. Many studies support the effectiveness of treatment for chronic and especially acute low back pain episodes, says Andre. “It’s all about what’s best for the individual client and giving them the time and care that they need. No matter what your age I can help with your back pain.” So if you are experiencing back pain, take the time to see Andre at Southern Chiropractic.

WESTERN NEWS Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz Tuesday March 24 2020 7 News A message of love, unity, and prayers for peace THE FAMOUS tale of Sadoko Sasaki has inspired a message of peace to honour those who lost their lives in the March 15 attacks. Villa Maria College’s international leader Wakana Yamaji decided to lead the school in making 1000 paper cranes in memory of those who lost their lives in the shootings. Last year, the international students made 1000 paper cranes as a mark of respect and as a symbol of world peace after March 15. It was inspired by Sadoko, a Japanese girl who became a victim of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima when she was twoyears-old. Following the United States detonating two nuclear weapons over Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6 and 9, 1945, Sadoko developed acute leukaemia 10 years after being exposed to the radiation. Inspired by the age-old Japanese belief anyone who makes 1000 origami cranes will see their wish come true – Sadako spent her last days before she died folding paper cranes on HONOUR: Villa Maria College students Wakana Yumaji and Rena Yamanishi placing paper cranes on the memorial wall on Sunday. her hospital bed in the hope she would recover. After her death, Sadako’s friends and schoolmates published a collection of letters in order to raise funds to build a memorial to her and all of the children who had died from the effects of the atomic bomb This year, each Villa Maria Ako group and all of the international students worked hard to fold and sew together 1200 paper cranes. Last Sunday, Wakana delivered them to the memorial wall at the Botanical Gardens to promote the message of world peace. Julia’s big plans • From page 1 “At first it was really shocking, and then it really settled in that this is actually happening and it’s amazing to have this opportunity,” she said. The programme helps young females gain important skills and exposure in a series of masterclasses and rapid-fire internships. While gaining experience and connecting with industry leaders to fulfil their dreams, it simultaneously addresses the skills and gender diversity gap in workplaces today. Said Julia: “The programme will be beneficial for young women because it will encourage them to believe they’re more than capable of working in those industries.” Julia, of West Melton, moved to New Zealand from Essex, United Kingdom, in 2011 with her parents and twin sisters for better schooling opportunities. She was diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder as a child, which she and her family began to understand once they moved to New Zealand. “I have ADHD, so at the time Selwyn House School helped my parents understand what that was, and get me on the proper medication so I could focus,” she said. The 15-year-old dreams of becoming a geneticist one day, using genetic modifications to improve the lives of the less fortunate. Her love of biology stemmed from a family member who had a rare, chromosomal disorder which sparked an interest in learning more. “I want to help in some sort of way using genetics, like genetically modifying plants to help with world hunger,” she said. “I’ve also been working on a project called Project X in school, where I’m researching how I would be able to genetically modify mosquitos to carry a vaccine which could prevent disease in third-world countries.” The five-day GirlBoss Advantage programme is set to go ahead in Christchurch next month, where the students will have the opportunity to intern with Orion Group and is hosted by power company Connetics. Julia hopes to gain a number of key skills and experience to aid her on the road to becoming a geneticist. “This programme might be able to help me get some feedback from experts and mentors on the project I’m working on, and that I’ll be able to use later in life.” It is often a man’s world in her chosen industry, but she believes now is the time for girls to lead the world. “Don’t listen to the people who tell you that you can’t do it.” SHow HoMeS I pride myself on exceptional customer service, passion and outstanding communication.
