Brain Mapping |
|
Brain Mapping (Quantitative Electroencephalography), which is often represented
as either qEEG or QEEG, is a brain map using an International 10/20 system in an
analysis of individual frequencies or frequency bandwidth that make up the raw EEG.
By doing so, the Brain Map is used to assess how the brain is functioning. From
this assessment, there are standardized methods for improving specific areas of
the brain and is done through neurofeedback, which is a subdivision of biofeedback.
Thanks to advances in technology, Brain Mapping (qEEG or quantitative EEG) can now
be performed in our office with a 19-point cap attached to a computer. The data
is compared to normative databases and analyzed by experts who provide us with a
detailed report. This information enables us to prepare a neurofeedback program
with greater precision, enabling us to attain even greater results.

Biofeedback |
|
Biofeedback is one type of Behavioral Medicine using information gained by monitoring
skin temperature, blood pressure, heart rate, and other body conditions to promote
control over the normally involuntary nervous system through conditioning and relaxation.
There are three types of biofeedback: thermal, muscular (EMG), and neurological
(EEG). All employ some type of computer or monitoring device, along with electronic
sensors to give information about what is going on in the body.

Nutritional Education |
|
Everyone knows that good nutrition is fundamentally important for good health and
for our brains to function properly. Little known is the fact that proper digestive
system function and a healthy immune system are critically important to get essential
nutrients, brain fitness nutrients to the brain cells that need them. We help each
client set individualized goals to include specific nutritious foods into their
daily diets.

Nutritional Response Testing
|
|
Nutritional Response Testing is an advanced muscle testing technique which can be
used to choose specific whole food nutrition products to design a unique individualized
nutritional program created for each person's immune system needs. Once the immune
system function starts to improve throughout the body, we can begin to see improvements
in the many body functions which contribute to improving and maintaining brain fitness.

iListen Therapy™ |
|
iListen is a system used to provide therapeutic music consistent with the principles
devised by Dr Alfred Tomatis. This system consists of an iPod Nano, a mini-amplifier
and bone-conducting headphones. Music from Advanced Brain is pre-loaded onto the
iListen device, e.g., The Listening Program® (Classic and Nature), as well as albums
from the Sound Health® series. The sound quality is absolutely beautiful due to
the utilization of lossless PCM technology, the next step up from MP3 (lossy compression).
The music selections have been engineered to offer options to activate or calm a
client. In addition, there are options to enhance Peak Performance or evoke relaxation.
iListen is a more generalized, faster approach to the custom Tomatis auditory training
program.

CranioSacral Therapy |
CranioSacral therapy, developed by John Upledger, is the concept of dynamic activity
and the relationship between the CranioSacral system. CranioSacral Therapy is a
technique based on Cranial Osteopathy. Like Cranial Osteopathy,
CranioSacral Therapy seeks to restore the natural rhythmic movement found between
the bones of the skull. It does the same for the movements of the sacrum. The purpose
of this is to aid the circulation of the cerebrospinal fluid throughout the central
nervous system.
However, CranioSacral Therapists believe that the natural movements at the skull
bones come from the membrane that lines our nervous system structures, namely the
brain and spinal cord. By improving the natural rhythmic movement it helps improve
brain functioning. Therefore, is an important part of Brain Fitness Training.

Reflexology
|
|
Reflexology is a science which deals with the principle that there are reflex areas
in the feet and hands which correspond to all of the glands, organs and parts of
the body. Stimulating these reflexes properly can help many health problems in a
natural way, a type of preventative maintenance. Reflexology helps to normalize
body functions. A Reflexology session relaxes the stress that can affect your health.
It is a safe effective way to Better Health.

Physical Therapy
|
|
Physical therapy works to maintain and improve movement and functioning of joints
and limbs. Physical therapy encompasses exercises that help improve range of motion,
muscle strength, coordination, endurance, flexibility, balance, motor skills, and
general mobility (i.e., walking, climbing stairs, getting in and out of bed or chairs).
Physical therapists tailor a treatment program unique to each individual to help
decrease deficits and restore function. Physical therapy may also involve massage
therapy, heat or water therapy, along with other interventions that will help improve
a patients comfort as well as accelerate recovery. The ultimate goal of physical
therapy is to restore maximum functional independence to each individual patient.
Physical therapy can be used to rehabilitate a patient after amputations, arthritis,
cancer, neurological problems, orthopedic injuries, spinal cord injuries, stroke,
traumatic brain injuries, and other injuries/illnesses.
