Education for Brain/Body Awareness
You will learn how Chronic Conditions begin and end in the Human Brain. The Human Brain is a super computer. Your Brain (Central Nervous System) provides instructions for every function that occurs inside your body. Your Body is in constant communication with your brain, every second of your life. Your brain receives and analyzes a staggering amount of information each moment. Your brain provides specific instructions to every tissue, organ and system within your body. All of your life experiences are processed in the brain and impact your body.
Your Body is NOT the CAUSE of your condition!
In the Central Nervous System, protective responses are ignited during times of sustained stress, injury or trauma. Muscle tension is one such response.
Many of you with chronic conditions suffer from persistent tension to your shoulders, neck, head and back despite having had treatments like physical therapy, chiropractic, acupuncture, and massage.....
Treatment causes you to feel pretty good... for awhile. Then, the symptoms come back. Why? If the muscle is the problem, and you treat the muscle... why do your symptoms return?
Because the muscle is NOT the problem. Your muscles are simply responding to instructions being sent by your brain. For those of you caught in this protective cycle, your symptom patterns return no matter what you try because your brain continues to send instructions of protection throughout your body.
Through physical therapy you can receive education and awareness that will allow you to find lasting resolve of your symptoms.
