To achieve your body’s peak performance with total body wellness, Dr. Flythe designs and performs a healthy and minimally invasive solution that will suit any given individual’s concerns and needs using these proven techniques and modalities. ACUPRESSURE Acupressure is an ancient healing art that uses the fingers to press key points on the surface of the skin to stimulate the body’s natural self-curative abilities. When these points are pressed, they release muscular tension and promote the circulation of blood and the body’s life force (sometimes known as qi or chi) to aid healing. Acupuncture and acupressure use the same points, but acupuncture employs needles, while acupressure uses the gentle, but firm pressure of hands and feet. Acupressure, continues to be the most effective method for self-treatment of tension-related ailments by using the power and sensitivity of the human hand. Acupressure can be effective in helping relieve headaches, eye strain, sinus problems, neck pain, backaches, arthritis, muscle aches, tension due to stress, ulcer pain, menstrual cramps, lower backaches, constipation, and indigestion. Self-acupressure can also be used to relieve anxiety and improve sleep. There are also great advantages to using acupressure as a way to balance the body and maintain good health. The healing touch of acupressure reduces tension, increases circulation, and enables the body to relax deeply. By relieving stress, acupressure strengthens resistance to disease and promotes wellness. In acupressure, local symptoms are considered an expression of the condition of the body as a whole. A tension headache, for instance, may be rooted in the shoulder and neck area. Thus, acupressure focuses on relieving pain and discomfort, as well as responding to tension, before it develops into a disease—before the constrictions and imbalances can do further damage. The origins of acupressure are as ancient as the instinctive impulse to hold your forehead or temples when you have a headache. Everyone at one time or another has used their hands spontaneously to hold tense or painful places on the body. More than five thousand years ago, the Chinese discovered that pressing certain points on the body relieved pain where it occurred and also benefited other parts of the body more remote from the pain and the pressure point. Gradually, they found other locations that not only alleviated pain, but also influenced the functioning of certain internal organs. BREATH THEAPY Breath therapy, which can ease anxieties and reduce stress, is the use of respiratory exercises to open lung passages, oxygenate the blood, and cleanse the body by eliminating gaseous toxins. The client is encouraged to breathe deeply while Dr. Flythe works the appropriate muscles. CHAKRA BALANCING The Chakras are the seven primary energy centers in the human body. They have been known for a very long time now, having first been mentioned in the Vedas, ancient Hindu texts. These Chakras are themselves made of energy – and they are responsible for directing the flow of energy through our bodies. Our Chakras may be either open or closed, depending on our mental and spiritual state at any given time. While you cannot actually see the Chakras, they are an important part of every human being and they are vital to our physical, mental and spiritual well being. They are located along a line running from the top of the head to the base of the spine and each is associated with a different part of the body. Every feeling and all of our senses are integrated with a different Chakra. When you are experiencing stress, our Chakras can become out of balance, which can lead to physical illness. When your Chakras are working at the correct frequency, then mind, body and spirit can work together harmoniously.To regain or maintain health, Chakra balancing is something which needs to be done periodically. What is Chakra Balancing? The seven major Chakras have their own area of responsibility and each is linked with a different part of the endocrine system. They are part and parcel of each and every sensation, feeling and emotional experience that we have. Stress can imbalance our Chakras – you can see this in the form of physical illness; illness is often a sign that our Chakras are out of balance. In order to keep your Chakras working at peak efficiency, they need to be working together as a team. Chakra balance is important to keeping in good health. Think of Chakra Balancing as a sort of tune up for the human body and soul. While there are a lot of different ways to balance and heal your Chakras, sound has been shown time and time again to be the most effective method of all. Soft music, Tibetan bowls, tuning forks and other sources of sound resonate at the proper frequencies to retune our Chakras into health. Sound, especially music often has an emotional as well as a physical resonance, which makes it especially useful in Chakra balancing. Beautiful sounds lead us to relax while displeasing, chaotic sounds can lead to emotional upset and even conflict. Sound can create a positive, peaceful atmosphere which is ideal for healing and balancing the Chakras. Once your Chakras are in balance, you’ll feel the difference. You’ll have a renewed sense of well being and the ability to cope with your life again! Each Chakra vibrates at its own frequency. When you listen to the frequency corresponding to the Chakra, that Chakra will be stimulated and healed. Scientists have analyzed Chakras to determine the ideal resonant frequency for each Chakra. COLOR THERAPY An ancient system using specific color rays to treat the body and mind, color therapy is based on the notion that organs and systems vibrate at certain frequencies. By applying a particular color ray on an area, the correct vibration--bringing with it health--will be restored. HOLISTIC MEDICINE Holistic medicine recognizes that the mind, spirit, lifestyle, environment, and other aspects of a person’s existence, significantly affect the functioning of the physical body. Thus, in evaluating and treating illness and prescribing preventative intervention, this approach treats the whole person, addressing more than just the symptoms or disease. Dr. Flythe may utilize a combination of conventional treatments along with alternative therapies. POLARITY THERAPY Polarity therapy is based on universal principles of energy--attraction, repulsion, and neutrality. The interrelation of these principles forms the basis for every aspect of life, including our experience of health, wellness, and disease. With this understanding, polarity therapy addresses the interdependence of body, mind, and spirit, the importance of relationships, and the value of creating a way of life in harmony with nature. Founded by Austrian-born naturopath Dr. Randolph Stone in the mid-1950s, polarity therapy is a clothes-on, noninvasive system complementing existing modalities with an integrated, holistic model. Polarity is based on the belief that positive and negative poles exist in every cell. The body is gently manipulated to balance the positive and negative energies. In addition to physical manipulation, blockages and toxins are eliminated through a cleansing diet and simple exercises. Treatments are suggested in a series of four. QIGONG MERIDIAN THERAPY Qigong is a combination of timed breathing and gentle flowing movement, meditation, visualization, and conscious intent all working together to achieve an integrated adjustment of mind and body in order to better cultivate, circulate, and balance qi, or life force. Qigong theory is the basis of traditional Chinese medicine and is used to treat many serious illnesses, as well as for relaxation. Qigong Meridian Therapy (QMT) is a natural healing system. It is derived from traditional Chinese medicine, which originated several thousand years ago. QMT is based and focused on the concept of qi. Qi is vital energy, the unseen life force that courses through the body, enabling it to perform its functions, and which permeates all of nature. The purpose of QMT is to release the innate healing ability of clients so their body can maintain health and resist disease. In QMT treatments, specific hand techniques are used to guide healing energy, which stimulates the meridians and certain points along or near the meridians. The QMT treatments serve to remove energy blockages, balance the overall qi of clients, and increase their energy. |
