What Is Mind-Body Therapy?

Mind and body therapy is an all-encompassing form of healthcare. It recognizes that physical and mental health affect each other, so it focuses on creating positive interactions between the mind and the body. Addressing both at the same time improves a person’s health in general.

Mind-body therapy techniques focus on social, physical, psychological, emotional, and even spiritual aspects of a person. What approaches and personal factors are concentrated on depend on the therapy provider and the client’s needs.

How Does Mind-Body Therapy Work

Mind and body therapy works by using a mixture of conventional and holistic medical treatments. Multiple treatments are used at once so both the body and mind can be treated simultaneously.

Benefits of Mind-Body Therapy

There are many benefits to mind and body therapy:

Better connection to your body

Through mind-body therapy, a person becomes more in tune with their body and its needs. People understand why they physically feel something and what they can do to stop it. For example, when they tense up due to anxiety, they know muscle relaxation techniques to use to lower their anxiety.

Many studies find that mind-body participants have lower levels of stress hormones, and that reflects their improved general health.

When a person has a chronic condition, they have limited means to mitigate symptoms. Mind-body therapy techniques have been shown to help reduce symptoms of many chronic conditions.

Many with mental health conditions have found that mind-body therapy techniques improve their coping skills. A focus on the body allows people to “get out of their head”.

Our Mind-Body Therapy Services

Our team offers a wide range of mind-body training options for promoting your general wellness, including:

Biofeedback is a noninvasive treatment option that shows how your body reacts to various stimuli. Through this technique, you’ll gain active control over your body and learn how to relax and regulate it at will.

Neurofeedback makes long-lasting changes in your brain, targeting and improving nerve function in brain areas associated with your individual challenges. With neurofeedback, you can improve your school or work performance.

CVAC is a whole-body conditioning program that uses dynamic changes in air pressure to boost oxygen levels in your body and produce beneficial responses. Spending time in the CVAC pod delivers many of the same benefits as exercise without physical stress.

Vasper™ and ARX® are today’s leading-edge exercise equipment designed to optimize your effort and work while you put in minimal time. Vasper™ provides high-intensity exercise in a low-impact workout, while ARX® uses motorized resistance and computer software to provide the customized training you need to build muscle mass.

Infrared light therapy stimulates energy production and reduces inflammation, and this helps eliminate muscle soreness and joint pain.
