1.
Occupational Therapy (OT)
Occupational therapy helps you find solutions in the areas of your life where you’re struggling to successfully do the things you need or want to do.
OT teaches you ways to perform the specific activities in those areas as easily and effectively as possible – even with challenges such as pain, fatigue, cognitive changes, or mental health concerns – so you can function well, feel productive, and enjoy doing the things that are most important to you.
2.
Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT tapping)
EFT tapping is a mind-body approach that reduces the emotional intensity on sensations, memories, or thoughts that you find distressing. It is not counseling or talk therapy.
EFT tapping affects the way your brain processes information and helps regulate your nervous system so you feel grounded and less triggered when thinking about your experiences.
EFT can also help identify and address emotional factors that may be contributing to physical symptoms.
3.
Myofascial Release
Myofascial release is a body-based method that helps loosen connective tissue (fascial) restrictions that can form after surgery, an accident, or an injury.
A myofascial release session helps gently unbind restricted tissue and release unconscious bracing patterns in the body so you can move with greater ease and less pain.
4.
Acupressure
Acupressure is a gentle, non-invasive approach that helps balance the flows of energy in the body. It is similar to acupuncture, but no needles are involved.
Acupressure can address specific symptoms and help keep your body’s physiology in a state of self-repair.
