Drakensberg Retreat
Dr Ron van As is facilitating a health retreat at Antbear Lodge on the 26.2 - 28.2 and repeating the retreat on 12.3 - 14.3.
Dr Ron van As is the resident chiropractic specialist available for consultation. Chiropractors treat conditions related to your body’s structure, especially that of your spine. The primary goal is to relieve pain and restore function without prescription of drugs or surgery. Rather, they adjust or manipulate your spine and other body parts to get them in proper alignment. Chiropractic care is based on the idea that when your body is in correct alignment, you have a better chance of healing yourself and hence it is a vitalistic approach to health care.
In our fast-paced society we are continuously being bombarded with stressors from technology, the environment and foods we eat, which have long term detrimental effects on our body. We know the leading cause of death worldwide is heart disease and one of the key contributors, is stress which can manifest as hypertension (high BP), diabetes mellitus (high blood sugar), raised cholesterol & obesity.
The most significant benefit of being treated on a health and wellness retreat, like Antbear Lodge, is that you can get the full experience of a holistic approach to health care.
This customized health program is a great way to kick-start your journey to great health, boost the immune system and allow your body a chance to relax and soul to rejuvenate.

Staff have been trained and understand the recommended COVID 19 protocols needed to protect themselves and protect you. Incl. PPE, hand hygiene, social distancing, wearing masks always and cleaning with the mandatory disinfectants. Some places have even implemented a contact-less check-in procedure, have a procedure in place should staff or guests display symptoms and also has a dedicated unit available should quarantine become a necessity. Places we deal with are ethical and have a 100% refund policy in place should you have to cancel because of COVID 19 lockdowns or infections.
