This program is focused on teaching individuals how to improve the management of their physical symptoms, while reducing factors that aggravate the stressors. The individual is an active participant in setting objective goals for both their program and for their daily life. Because of the interactive and participative nature of this program, people are helped to live their lives more fully and with greater vitality.
The Occupational Therapist begins by working with the symptoms and stress factors that are causing the greatest amount of difficulty. Combining standard treatments with healing touch, energy work and other complementary modalities provides a greater basis from which the bodies own healing abilities can be supported.
An Occupational Therapist can help the body restore balance and create optimum inner conditions for healing to take place. The addition of energy work to the array of treatment protocols provides for whole system support of the physical, mental, emotional, and energetic aspects of the body-mind. As a result individuals are able to make great strides in a relatively short time.
