edit data

I was born in Zimbabwe and grew up in Kenya, East Africa. My father was a doctor specializing in tropical medicine and my mother a nurse. I had an adventurous upbringing, climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest mountain, at the age of 17. Animals were my constant companions.

I wanted to be a physiotherapist from the age of 14 and did my physiotherapy training in London, England, and immigrated to Canada in 1972. I worked in hospitals in Oxford, England, Victoria, Yellowknife, Vancouver and later opened my own private practice in Deep Cove, North Vancouver. I am a long-time British Columbia physiotherapist and author of "The Posture Pain Fix" "Self-Health Fix" and "Shine Volume 3."

I have helped literally thousands of people with everything ...more

Rosalind Ferry said: " How to Take Charge of Your Health and Make the Most of the Medical System
When it comes to their health, some people seem to be forever patients. You probably know one: they never appear to recover fully or even believe that this is possible. Doctor’s How to Take Charge of Your Health and Make the Most of the Medical System
When it comes to their health, some people seem to be forever patients. You probably know one: they never appear to recover fully or even believe that this is possible. Doctor’s appointments are a regular part of their life. Maybe you can see a little of yourself here?

Constant pain and nagging irritations can stop you from leading the full, free life you deserve. If you have lost faith in your body’s ability to heal and expect little from the health system other than another prescription drug or Band-Aid, then Self-health Fix is for you.

Award-winning and bestselling author Rosalind Ferry knows this vicious cycle all too well. A career health professional, she recalls returning to work at a hospital out-patient clinic and being shocked to see several patients she had treated seven years earlier — for the same conditions! They had been programmed to remain victims of their own low expectations. This affirmed her belief that we must learn to care for our bodies and have a plan for keeping them in tip-top shape, just as we would our finances and relationships.

When you read Self-health Fix you’ll discover that:

We cannot depend on the overworked health system alone for an improvement in our well-being
You don’t have to stay locked into a state of perpetual sub-par existence because of bad luck or poor genetics
Other people like yourself have successfully tackled chronic health problems
The mental and spiritual benefits of keeping in good shape are as important as the purely physical ones
You can revitalize your physical and emotional conditioning by employing everything from time-honored techniques to the latest medical research
You have more power and control over your health than you might think
What’s Your Health Rating?

Ferry has developed a comprehensive Personal Health Rating Scale covering 20 important areas of your life such as pain, strength, bowel & bladder, and weight. By rating your current level and tracking changes over time you’ll be able to pinpoint which aspects of your life need attention.

Self-health Fix goes even further by offering practical bite-size tips, resources, and simple daily actions to help kick-start your self-health journey and increase your Personal Health Rating one day at a time. ...more "
