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. photos
