Balanced Body Therapy provides a series of health and wellness services that work together to educate, heal and maintain a healthy pain free body.
Dynamic Brain Healing
Regardless of your age, your brain has been through some… stuff! That stuff could simply be the stresses of life, illnesses or diseases, physical, mental, emotional or environmental traumas. We don’t always recognise the effects as they often occur gradually.
We often forget just how much our brain is responsible for. Thankfully, this means there are a lot of systems that can be helped by working on the brain! Various “mystery” and chronic aches & pains have been resolved by working on the brain.
Perhaps you are interested in improving your sleep, brain focus, clarity or function, emotional state or prevention from future ailments, Dynamic Brain Healing is a beautiful way to relax and improve operation and feel of every system!
Ideal for youth as well!! These treatments have the ability to help youth focus and perform at their best!
Concussion Protocols
Concussions are the result of more than we consider; birth is the first concussion! Whiplash affects the brain. Traumas other than physical affect the brain similarly. Ever hit your head on a cupboard door? Fall off the jungle gym as a child and have the wind knocked out of you? Fallen off a horse? Slipped on ice landing on your bum so hard your teeth knocked? Involved in an auto accident? Yep, those all affect your brain!
These protocols address the brain, bones, lymph, nerves, fascia, meridians and more.
Did you know that 20% of everyone who experiences a concussion do not naturally overcome the symptoms on their own? Then, if you are one of the 80% and you experience more concussions, the effects become worse and worse. Sometimes immediately after the event; others building gradually, seeming more like the aches, pains, decreased balance and memory that are often associated with age. These protocols are designed to work for the 20%.
Are you or your children involved in sports? Would you like to prevent the impact of a possible future concussion? We can do that too and also improve focus, balance and more!
Manual Osteopathy
Established in health care since the late 1800s, manual osteopathy is founded on a set of fundamental principles which state that structure and function are interrelated and that the body possesses self regulatory mechanisms with the inherent capacity to defend, repair remodel itself. It looks at the body as a whole rather than individual parts. All systems need to be balanced and mobile to support health, wellness and pain free living.
The systems include the bones and joints, muscle and fascia, cranium and spinal canal, and viscera. Techniques used are all manual hands on, gentle and typically pain free, usually very relaxing overall.
There are very few ailments that manual osteopathic work cannot assist with; from toes to the top of the head, down to the fingertips and everything in between.
