Subject: Health Trends Today is born!
Hello and welcome to Health Trends today. My name is Tim Cooper and I would like to tell you a little about myself and why I decided to develop this site.
Professionally, I am a Remedial Massage Therapist based on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia and mainly work as a Remedial Sports Therapist and Sports Medicine Trainer for a major Australian Rules Football Club. The remainder of my week is taken up in treating clients in my private practice, designing business development programs for the Alternative Health Industry and tinkering with web site design.
I am a very firm believer that it is up to each individual Alternative Health practitioner to do their part in the education of the public in relation to the many benefits our industry can offer over the 'conventional' health system. While professional associations play their part, the task of RE-educating the public is a role that every Natural Healthcare professional should be involved in. It is with the view to educating the public on the benefits of Natural Health and Fitness that this web site was born.
Time is a precious commodity, something it seems the majority of us simply don't have enough of. The internet contains an abundance of information, some extremely good, some extremely bad. If you don't know the topic, how do you know whether the information being presented is accurate? Searching the internet for top quality information is a time consuming task. By making high quality articles, white papers and products readily available I hope to cut down the time it takes you to find what you are looking for.
This site is also 'Interactive' giving you the chance to have your say and guide us as to what you, the reader, are really interested in. You will find 'Survey' boxes throughout this site requesting your feedback, suggestions, ideas etc. Please take the time to respond to these surveys as the results will be used to target and fine tune the information available on this site.
This site not only caters for people interested in Natural Health and Fitness, we have also included resources and tools to assist professionals working in the Alternative Health industry. I am continually on the look out for high quality professional development resources to help you market and management your practice, and I will post links to these resources once I have reviewed them.
The review process is time consuming so please be patient. Content is not made available on this site until it has been reviewed by myself or one of my peers.
Please come back frequently to check out the new content, or better yet subscribe to our newsletter and automatically be kept up to date as new content is added.
Yours in good health
Tim Cooper
