What is Craniosacral Therapy And How can it help?
Craniosacral therapy (CST) is a hands-on, whole-body method of improving health and well-being. It is a gentle touch technique that works with the central nervous system (CNS) to release restrictions anywhere in the body. These restrictions inhibit movement and compromise the body’s function. The craniosacral system includes the membranes that surround the brain and the spinal column, the bones to which the membranes attach, and the cerebrospinal fluid that flows within the membranes.
What is Neurofeedback? A Science-Backed Approach to Brain Optimization
Neurofeedback is a non-invasive, research supported method that helps the brain learn to function more efficiently. At Meridian Neuro, I begin with a qEEG brain map that is a detailed assessment that shows where the brain may be overactive or underactive. This map guides a personalized training program designed to support goals like better focus, improved sleep, emotional regulation, and cognitive performance.
Mirror Therapy for Recovery from Stroke
MIRROR therapy is a way to help your brain “see” the affected side of your body moving. You place a mirror next to your unaffected limb, so the mirror reflects its movements. It looks like the weaker or paralyzed limb is moving just fine to your brain, like tricking your brain or training your brain to send the correct messages to your affected arm.
This trick helps wake up the brain’s motor areas and encourages healing. Over time, this can lead to better mobility, less pain, and more control. MIRROR therapy taps into your brain’s natural ability to adapt, called neuroplasticity. By practicing movements in front of a mirror, you’re “showing” your brain what it wants to see, which helps repair damaged pathways.
