Applied Kinesiology (AK) is a form of diagnosis using muscle testing as a primary feedback mechanism to examine how a person's body is functioning. When properly applied, the outcome of an AK diagnosis will determine the best form of therapy for the patient. Since AK draws together the core elements of many complementary therapies, it provides an interdisciplinary approach to health care. Read more about Applied Kinesiology…
Physical Therapy equipment commonly produces electrical currents for physiological effects which include: increase in localized blood flow which can improve healing, stimulation of local nerve cells that can have a pain reducing/anaesthetic effect due to potentially blocking the transmission of the pain signals, and a degree of muscle stimulation as muscle contraction for strength.

This ball exercise is more about letting go than traditional exercise. It allows time for the breath to get into our muscles, letting our bodies naturally align, taking pressure away from nerve injury and back pain. We experience letting go of all resistance and allow our bodies to do the work for us. As the patient consciously breathes through this exercise the less the patient "works" and the more the pain ceases.
Acupuncture is a method of encouraging the body to promote natural healing and to improve functioning. Inserting needles and applying heat or electrical stimulation at very precise acupuncture points does this. The acupuncture needles unblock the obstructions at the dams, and reestablish the regular flow through the meridians. Acupuncture treatments can therefore help the body's internal organs to correct imbalances in their digestion, absorption, and energy production activities. Read more about Acupuncture…
To become "Reconnected" involves reconnecting your meridian lines to the energy lines that encircle the earth, thereby enhancing and expanding your body's frequencies. This then allows you to heal. Originally meridian lines/acupuncture lines on our body were connected to these grid lines that encircle the planet. These grid lines were designed to connect us to a vastly larger grid, tying us to the entire universe. Read more about Energetic Therapy - The Reconnection…
Emotions are part of the natural, healthy response process we have to virtually every situation we encounter. However, sometimes challenging emotional experiences and physical vulnerabilities create lingering stress in our mind-body architecture. Such stress can contribute to physical complaints, emotional difficulties, and problems with goal achievement. The Neuro Emotional Technique (NET) is a powerful intervention that can assess and alleviate the internal stressors that are creating barriers to health and success.

The nutritional therapy is based on Endocrinology which is the study of hormones; a chemical that must be produced by an organ, be released in small amounts into the blood, able to be transported by the blood to a distant organ to exert its specific function. These can effect for example insulin levels, or different cell proliferation. A healthy hormone system can signal allergens and can repair damaged tissue, all of which has anti-aging effects.

Chiropractic Care touches every part of your body by concentrating on the local levels throughout the 24 bone spinal column. It affects every cell, tissue and organ because it is based on the scientific fact that your nervous system controls every cell, tissue, and organ. The chiropractic approach to better health is to detect, reduce and help prevent nervous system dysfunction. Read more about Chiropractic…
