Your body can heal itself—it just might need a little help

Have you ever hurt yourself doing something mundane like moving a car seat, lifting a sack of groceries or even just getting out of bed?

If so, you are not alone. Most people experience this type of “random” injury at some point in their lives. And usually it is not really random. It is the result of bad movement habits, which may even be due to a previous sports or auto injury.

Bad posture and other habits can cause reduced freedom of movement, chronic pain, fatigue, and even a loss of mental clarity.

In the long run, these habits can force you to change your lifestyle, and have a tremendous impact on your overall health and sense of well-being. And they can be the root cause of other, even more harmful, injuries and health problems.

Unfortunately, as long as those habits continue, you are likely to have more injuries and chronic pain issues. And the chances of truly healing any spine, joint or muscle injuries goes down.

That’s why at Linda's Center, the focus is on getting to the root cause of your pain first. Then learning ways to use your body so you can reduce, or get rid of, that pain forever.

According to the World Health Organization, Health is more than the absence of disease.
"Health is a state of optimal well-being."

Optimal well-being is a concept of health that goes beyond the curing of illness to one of achieving wellness. Many of us have been brought up to believe...

More than just Physical Therapy or Rehabilitation
In addition to being a Physical Therapist, I am also certified in a variety of other non-invasive techniques to help you realign and retrain your body including: Manual Therapy, Feldenkrais Method®, Craniosacral Therapy, Reiki and Neurostructural Integration Techniques.


So instead of using just one or two cookie-cutter techniques, I create a customized mix of treatments and methods to help you resolve your specific health problems.

What does all this mean to you? At Linda’s Center, you won’t just get treatment for your chronic pain or injury.

We also work together to learn how you use your body to do ordinary, everyday things—as well as any sports or hobbies. Then I show you ways to move with the least strain and effort.

So you don’t just get a set series of exercises to do, or get hooked up to a machine or two, to relieve your symptoms. Instead, I focus on finding and treating the cause of your chronic pain. The end result? A lasting return to vibrant health and a pain-free life.

Treatment sessions last 45 minutes, and yes, we do accept credit cards and bill most insurances.


Bowen / Neurostructural Integration Technique (NST)
– Powerful Treatment for Chronic Pain


The Neurostructural Integration Technique (NST) is considered by many to be the world’s leading structural and spinal therapy technique for creating lasting pain relief and rejuvenation! NST is a remarkably effective bodywork technique that starts a process of natural auto-regulation in the spine and, as a result, all the way through the whole body.

The result is a rapid elimination
or reduction of symptoms, followed by an

 

unmistakable sense of well being. NST can be an extremely effective, and often miraculous, treatment for chronic pain and other “untreatable” health problems.

Ion Cleanse Foot Bath – Take Charge of Your Health
You are surrounded by and toxins every day. From the chemicals, pesticides and preservatives in the food you eat, to the exhaust fumes from your car and the cleaning products you use around the house. These toxins alone can actually be the cause of chronic pain or illness, or at least a part of the problem.

Unfortunately, your body was never designed to handle all of the toxins you are exposed to in modern life. That’s where the Ion Cleanse Foot Bath comes in.

This relaxing treatment offers a safe, comfortable, drug-free way to pull toxins out of your body, balance your energy and normalize your pH. And it can help you maintain high energy levels and long term wellness. Ion Cleanse therapy is widely used by athletes and those who suffer from injuries, fibromyalgia, chronic pain, fatigue, allergies, arthritis, and heavy metal toxicity.


Manual Therapy – Hands-on Treatment Where You Need It the Most
More than just physical therapy, Manual Therapy combines a variety of hands-on bodywork techniques including soft tissue massage, connective tissue work, myofascial release, craniosacral therapy, and gentle movement or manipulation of the joints, spine, nerve tissue, glands or internal organs. The result is long lasting change to the way your body feels, moves and functions.

Feldenkrais Method® – A Wholistic View of What’s Troubling You
“If you know what you do, you can do what you want.” Moshe Feldenkrais


Discover how easy it can be to let go of bad posture. The Feldenkrais Method helps you realize exactly how you use your body every day, in everything that you do.

Maybe you are not using your stomach muscles to properly support your trunk, so your head tilts forward causing neck pain. Perhaps the way you stand is causing your hips to move out of alignment, resulting in chronic low back pain.


Whatever the problem, this method was developed to help you discover and shift habitual patterns, and fine-tune your movements in a slow, gentle and guided way.

Cranio-Sacral Therapy
– A Subtle Technique That Can Make a Dramatic Difference

Cranio-Sacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle way of making sure that the cerebrospinal fluid (the fluid that surrounds and protects the brain and spinal cord) is moving properly throughout your system. Using a soft touch, practitioners release restrictions and improve the function of your central nervous system. This helps all your body’s systems function better, and assists your body in clearing congestion and finding dynamic balance.

CST is also being used more and more as a preventive health measure thanks to its ability to boost resistance to disease. And it can be effective in treating a wide variety of medical problems including: Migraine Headaches, Chronic Neck and Back Pain, Motor-Coordination Impairments, Central Nervous System Disorders, Orthopedic Problems, Traumatic Brain and Spinal Cord Injuries, Scoliosis, Fibromyalgia and other Connective-Tissue Disorders, Neurovascular or Immune Disorders and Post-Surgical Dysfunction.


Reiki

Reiki is a Japanese touch technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. Much like acupuncture, Reiki is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" (also known as Qi—pronounced “chee”) flows through us and is what causes us to be alive.

If your Qi is low, then you are more likely to get sick or feel stress. If it is high, you are more capable of being happy and healthy.

“Reiki sessions cause patients to heal faster with less pain," says Marilyn Vega, RN, a private-duty nurse at the Manhattan Eye, Ear and Throat Hospital in New York. Reiki has also been shown to improve mental attitude and reduce the negative effects of medication and other medical procedures.


Energy Clearing
Sometimes your environment could be part of what is making you sick. Maybe there are toxins in the air, or you are being exposed to chemicals or electromagnetic frequencies that are unhealthy. Or it could be that very energy of your home or office is unhealthy, and making you more susceptible to illness and chronic health problems.

If you suspect your environment could be part of what is making you feel unwell, call me at 253-848-9769 to find out about my complimentary energy clearing services.


Are you ready to get on the road to a healthy, pain-free life? Give me a call at 253-848-9769, or toll free at 877-225-6565, to find out how I can help you.
