Healzie” is pronounced as /ˈhiːlzɪ/ and roughly sounds like “HEEL-zee”. Healzie is a portmanteau of the English word “healing” and the name Suzie. “Healing” means gyógyítás in Hungarian, while Suzie is a shortened form of the name “Susan” or “Susanna” in Hungarian, which translates to “Zsuzsanna” or “Zsuzsi.” Healzie is a personalized healthcare and wellness service that employs an integrated holistic approach to help individuals achieve optimal health and well-being. Healzie serves as a personal and empathetic helper, embodying the intention of healing and resembling a friendly acquaintance, Zsuzsi. By combining these elements, Healzie becomes a supportive symbol, guiding people towards health and well-being while also offering companionship along the way. Healzie is where healing and personal connections intersect.

Integrated Holistic Physiotherapy (IHP) is a special healing method that, combined with Reiki energy healing, creates something truly extraordinary. It encompasses traditional physiotherapy (“physical therapy”), which helps solve physical problems, assisting people in pain relief, regeneration, and improving mobility. Integrated physiotherapy is an approach to healthcare that combines the principles of physiotherapy and holistic healing.

The practitioner takes into account the individual’s mental and emotional aspects during the treatment of physical problems and aims to treat the whole person, not just their symptoms. The method focuses on preventing health issues and restoring balance in the body, mind, and spirit by targeting the vital centers and organization of the physical body: the nervous, endocrine, circulatory, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and immune systems.

At the same time, Reiki focuses on the energetic level of the body, assisting in the release of energy blocks and activating the body’s self-healing abilities.

In summary: This unique approach combines all the knowledge to provide comprehensive health improvement to clients. By applying integrated holistic physiotherapy and Reiki together, I help people with, for example:

The integrated holistic physiotherapist is an individual who combines theoretical background with practical skills to help patients achieve and maintain their physical, mental, and emotional well-being. This contributes to improving overall health and preventing diseases in patients.

Approach and Philosophy:

• Traditional Physiotherapy: Traditional physiotherapy mainly focuses on improving the physical condition and functions of the body. It often concentrates on treating muscles, bones, and tissues, as well as rehabilitation.

• Integrated Holistic Physiotherapy: Integrated holistic physiotherapy embraces a broader perspective, taking into account the patient’s overall health and well-being. Additionally, external factors such as lifestyle, diet, emotional, and mental state are considered important. According to the integrated approach, the human body and soul are closely interconnected, and treatment should accordingly address this connection.

2. Therapeutic Methods:

• Traditional Physiotherapy: Traditional physiotherapy employs various physical therapy methods, such as massage, exercises, stretching, electrical stimulation, and hot-cold therapy.

• Integrated Holistic Physiotherapy: Integrated therapy utilizes a wider range of therapeutic methods, including physical treatments, lifestyle and nutritional advice, mental and emotional support, as well as stress management techniques.

3. Objectives:

• Traditional Physiotherapy: The primary goal of traditional physiotherapy (physical therapy) is to restore physical functions and alleviate pain.

• Integrated Holistic Physiotherapy: The aim of integrated therapy is to improve the overall health of the body and soul, including addressing physical symptoms. It focuses on the whole body and lifestyle.

4. Contact with the patient:

• Traditional Physiotherapy: Traditional physiotherapists often focus more on physical symptoms and primarily interact with patients in relation to their treatment.

• Integrated Holistic Physiotherapy: Integrated holistic physiotherapists place greater emphasis on human relationships and try to understand the patient’s entire life and all possible impacts on physical symptoms.

Integrated holistic physiotherapy, therefore, represents a broader and deeper approach that considers the whole person, while traditional physiotherapy primarily focuses on the physical aspects of the body. Both approaches have their advantages, and the choice depends on which type of treatment an individual finds more effective and is in line with their needs.

Holistic physiotherapy is an approach that treats health and well-being by considering the human body, mind, and spirit as a single interconnected entity. Its principle is that various parts and systems of the human body are interconnected, and maintaining health and well-being requires balance in all three areas. Here are some ways holistic physiotherapy helps improve health and well-being:

1. Physical Healing: Holistic physiotherapists don’t just treat symptoms; they also investigate their underlying causes. This helps identify and address fundamental issues, not just alleviate symptoms.

2. Support for Emotional and Mental Health: Physiotherapists consider emotional and mental states as they can influence physical health. In cases of stress, depression, or anxiety, the holistic approach helps restore emotional balance.

3. Healthy Lifestyle Counseling: Holistic physiotherapists can provide advice on adopting a healthy lifestyle, including proper nutrition, exercise, and rest.

4. Harmony of Body and Mind: Physiotherapy can employ techniques that help increase energy flow and establish balance between body and mind.

5. Improvement of Quality of Life: Holistic physiotherapy contributes to improving quality of life by optimizing every part and function of the human body.

In summary, holistic physiotherapy applies a comprehensive approach to health and well-being, taking into account the human body, mind, and spirit. This promotes achieving complete and lasting health and well-being, as well as enhancing quality of life.

Holistic Physiotherapy has a wide range of applications for various physical symptoms and complaints. These include:

1. Musculoskeletal complaints: Holistic physiotherapy effectively treats acute and chronic musculoskeletal problems, such as back pain, neck pain, joint pain, sports injuries, and other musculoskeletal issues.

2. Symptoms caused by stress and tension: Emotional and mental stress often manifests in physical symptoms like muscle tension, headaches, and digestive issues. Holistic physiotherapy helps address such symptoms by restoring emotional balance.

3. Performance improvement and optimization of sports performance: For both hobbyists and professional athletes, holistic physiotherapy aids in preventing musculoskeletal problems, promoting body regeneration, managing injuries, and enhancing performance.

I do not offer assistance to those who are not open to learning new things, do not wish to better understand themselves, and are unwilling to explore the emotional reasons behind their physical complaints. I cannot help those who lead a passive lifestyle and show no willingness to change, seeking only an oily massage. Furthermore, I do not undertake the treatment of patients who have been suffering from chronic pain for decades (20-30 years) or engage in deliberately self-destructive behaviors, and those who have malignant endocrine disorders.

The duration of improvement observed during treatment can vary depending on the severity of the condition or complaint, individual reactions, and the therapy applied. However, improvement is generally noticeable in incremental progress over time.

In the case of acute issues, such as a sudden injury or muscle pain, relief and/or improvement may be felt shortly after treatment. However, for chronic issues, such as long-standing back pain or joint complaints, improvement may be more time-consuming, and multiple treatments may be necessary to achieve noticeable improvement.

Generally, holistic therapies bring long-term benefits, and the condition may gradually improve over time. It’s also important for the individual to actively participate in the treatment, such as following home exercises or lifestyle changes.

Every case is different, and individual improvement may vary, so patience and adherence to the instructions of the doctor or therapist are important.

Lifestyle changes and modifications to daily routines can greatly enhance the effectiveness of holistic physiotherapy. The recommended changes may include:

Hydration with pure fluids (water): Adequate water consumption is vital for the human body and nervous system, as water is involved in cell hydration, metabolism, and regulating body temperature, thereby contributing to optimal physiological function and nervous system health. Regular, high-quality water consumption is an essential part of the treatment process.

Active lifestyle: incorporating regular exercise into your life can help improve your physical condition. Adding forms of exercise that suit individual needs, such as walking, swimming or yoga exercises to your daily routine can support the effectiveness of your therapy.

Mental health: It is also important to maintain emotional and mental health. Practicing stress management techniques, such as meditation or relaxation, can help maintain emotional balance.

Nutrition (and vitamin supplementation): A healthy diet is an important factor. Foods rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals in the diet can promote healing and inhibit inflammatory processes.

Home exercises and breathing: Doing home exercises regularly recommended by your physiotherapist (physiotherapist) can improve the effectiveness of therapy and contribute to recovery. Using the right breathing technique can help optimize the ratio of carbon dioxide (CO2) to oxygen (O2) in the blood, which is key to proper oxygenation of cells and healthy functioning of the body.

Sleeping habits: A healthy sleep routine and adequate rest can help your body regenerate and relieve pain.

Weight management: Reducing excess weight can also help relieve musculoskeletal complaints, as there is less strain on the body.

Consistency: strict adherence to the instructions and treatment plans given by your therapist or doctor is important to maximise the effectiveness of therapy.

It is important to understand that lifestyle changes can take a long time and improvements in the effectiveness of therapy may be gradual. However, changes tailored to individual needs and problems can contribute to the effectiveness of holistic physiotherapy. With the help of a therapist (physiotherapist) or doctor, an individual treatment plan can be developed to achieve optimal results.
