What treatments does naturopathic medicine deliver?
Naturopathic medicine involves a wide range of possible treatments, including botanical medicine, acupuncture, and other therapies, but food and nutrition are essential ingredients.
What are the foundations of treatment mentioned by Dr. Angnieszka Matusik?
“Dietary counselling is a foundation to any treatment plan,” says Dr. Agnieszka Matusik, a naturopathic physician who combines nutrition, botanical medicine, acupuncture, and other therapies to treat patients. She uses different modalities for different people, depending on their issues and health goals.
What does Reiki encompass?
In this “art and science of spiritual self-improvement,” the brain waves of healer and receiver are synchronized into an alpha state (deeply relaxed and meditative). Their waves also pulse in unison with the earth’s magnetic field.
What conditions does Bowen Therapy improve?
Low back pain, joint pain, tendonitis, frozen shoulders, and jaw problems can be remedied with a skilled Bowen therapist’s thumbs and fingers, which gently maneuver muscles and tissues.
Describe Bowen methods.
Bowen moves are performed over the muscles and tissues rich in mechanisms, such as spindle fibres, Golgi tendon organs, and stretch receptors, which communicate with the nervous system. These mechanisms affect the body’s tissue tension.
What effects will Bowen Moves produce?
“Bowen moves prompt a response from the body through the nervous system to re-adjust areas of imbalance,” says naturopathic doctor Jonathan Bablad, an advanced Bowen practitioner. “This therapy seems to balance the parasympathetic and autonomic nervous systems, which helps people who are functioning in stress mode.”
What are the conditions mentioned as affected by Bowen Movements?
Bablad adds that chronic pain, infertility, asthma, and allergies can also be addressed with this therapy, which relaxes patients and allows healing to happen naturally. “The speed with which people can recover from long-term conditions is remarkable,” he says. “But what really surprises people are the breaks between moves, where the practitioner actually leaves the room. This allows the body to respond to what has been performed.”
What is the description for Integrated Speech / Language and Yoga therapy.
“This program weaves speech and language goals into a yoga routine, so language skills enter the body through a potentially more receptive nervous system,” explains Dymond. “Communication skills such as following directions, sequencing information, and staying on topic are woven into the dialogue of yoga class.”
What modalities are exhibited through Deep Flow Massage?
McCorquodale practises deep flow massage, which incorporates different massage modalities, including Swedish, deep tissue, shiatsu, Ayurvedic, lomilomi, and reflexology.
What are the basic principles of Deep Flow Massage?
Deep flow massage is said to bring body and soul into alignment by combining energy clearing with muscular and skeletal release. The result? Anatomical and emotional healing.
What are the effects of Deep Flow Massage?
The combination of muscle and energy release from deep flow massage may ease the stress of everyday life by improving sleep, increasing the mind-body connection, and helping to prevent future illness.
Describe health kinesiology.
Health kinesiology (HK), a drug-free, nonherbal, and noninvasive way of restoring the body’s normal function, is said to correct the electrical and chemical flow in the body, allowing it to heal itself.
How is Health Kinesiology applied?
“Light pressure is applied to a muscle and the response is monitored,” says practitioner Linda Orr Easthouse. “Once the stresses are identified, gentle techniques are used to bring the body back into balance and harmony with itself.”
What other therapies are included within Health Kinesiology?
HK includes other treatments—magnets, essences, whole food, natural supplements, at-home health care machines—that are meant to help restore the body’s electrical flow through the lymph system and rebuild broken meridian circuits.
