Our Process:

Consult

Deep dive into your history, complaints and previous treatments
Learn and discuss WHY previous treatments didn’t work
Uncover the true SOURCE of your complaint(s) and HOW they developed
Learn realistic strategies to self-manage and self-treat
*Identify the systems, structures and functions to be Evaluated*

Evaluation

Examine, measure and test the systems, structures and functions identified in the Consult
Create the clinical Assessment (your situational summary)
Develop the Treatment Plan (what order to treat and how)

Treatment

A Pre-test is performed to measure a specific, challenging/painful movement or position
Hands-on, integrated manual therapy treatment is performed (based on the eval)
A Post-test is performed to highlight the changes from the pre-test
Results are measurable - every session

Endocrine Response to Stress

By:

Vidhi Shastri, PT, CFMT

The Endocrine system causes changes at the tissue level as well as changes in the brain due to the fight or flight mode initiated by stress. The changes at the tissue level include fatigue, sensitivity, soreness, tiredness and sluggishness – which leads to deconditioning.

Changes at the brain level can be serious, like short term memory loss, weight gain, mood swings, problems with focus and concentration and changes in appetite.

Targeted, manual therapy can help regulate the endocrine system and in turn help the tissues and brain. Other treatment options include nutrition, pacing, meditation, cardio exercises.

My next article will discuss how the respiratory system is also affected by stress, changes and potential treatment options.
