Application Benefits of Psycho-Physical Balance Therapy
reported with selective populations:
- Psychiatric patients with dual-diagnoses associated with The
National Center for Institutions and Alternatives took more responsibility
for their "acting out"and learned to work better in cooperation
with others photos
- Patients with multiple sclerosis (both ambulatory and in wheel
chairs) learned to increase their range of movement and to make
their movements smooth and continuous. They also increased their
sociability and physical connection with others. photos
- Visually-impaired clients learned to evaluate their own alignment
and increased their spacial awareness enhancing their ability
to travel using a cane. photos
- Neurotrauma clients learned ways to enhance the brain's compensations
to regain normal movement, to deal with emotions, and to focus
ambiguous and confusing thoughts.
- Elderly patients in long-term care learned balance techniques
that allowed them more individual freedom to get out of chairs
and beds and to take baths. They reported fewer injuries from
falls and an increased ability to ambulate during the day and
sleep at night. photos
- Children with psychological problems as a result of sexual
trauma gained more coordination, appropriate non-invasive touch
and the ability to distinguish boundaries from borders.
- Inner city children, together with elderly community residents
worked together learning the techniques. The elderly reported
that they felt more secure of their balance and the children said
they had a more empathetic appreciation of their elders.
