How we help people get healthy
Your body is an amazing array of circuitry, energy, chemical reactions, tissue, muscle and bone. To get healthy, you must address all these areas.
At Morter Wellness and Education Center, our experience has taught us that the power to heal lies not in any physician's hands, but in your own body. Our job is to help you discover the true meaning of pain, discomfort or blocks that are preventing you from achieving the life you want to live. Then, we can help you correct them.
To help you overcome health challenges and achieve your lifestyle goals, we employ:
- Emotional and Structural Rebalancing
- Functional Medicine Analysis
- Neurologically-based Physiotherapy
Emotional and Structural Rebalancing
 - BioEnergetic Synchronization Technique (B.E.S.T) is a non-forceful, energy balancing hands on procedure used to help reestablish the full healing potential of the body. Understanding the body makes no mistakes regarding health and longevity, B.E.S.T. principles acknowledge the concept of Interference we create with our conscious mind. This Interference caused imbalance in the autonomic nervous system leading to exhaustion of our organ systems over time.
- Toggle Recoil is a quick adjustment addressing the Upper Cervical area of the spine while the patient is relaxed. It is a means of gently, and usually painlessly, persuading the Atlas (the top bone of the spinal column) to return to its correct resting position without forcing or stressing the joint or the body.
- Webster Technique is a method of balancing the pelvis to allow babies to move freely. It has been documented as having an 82% success rate of allowing breech babies to turn after the eighth month, reducing the need for cesearian deliveries. Mothers are encouraged to arrange a visit to the Center to optimize spinal and pelvic alignment early on in their pregnancy to encourage easier pregancy, labor, delivery, and recovery. Read more about the Webster technique here.
- Cranial Adjusting is a low-force, gentle method of aligning the bones of the skull. The proper movement of cranial bones during respiration is critical to brain and nervous system function due to circulation of the protective fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord.
- Activator is a technique using a hand-held instrument that delivers a quick, gentle and specific thrust to joints of the spine and extremities.
- Sacro-Occipital Technique uses gentle adjustments with the doctor's hands as well as pelvic blocks to normalize movement of the sacrum (the bone you sit on) and the skull. These adjustments help to normalize the flow of the fluid surrounding your spinal cord and brain.
- Thompson Technique utilizes a table with droppable sections at different levels of your spine. The doctor will input a slight thrust to initate the adjustment, but your bodyweight and gravity are the technique's main components.
- Logan Basic Technique seeks to align the sacrum with a gentle, sustained contact at the apex of the sacrum. This contact will, in turn, relax muscles along the spine allowing the adjustment to take place.
Functional Medicine
The tool of functional medicine allows us to examine the biochemical blocks that are interfering with your health.
From the Institute for Functional Medicine:
"Functional medicine is personalized medicine that deals with primary prevention and underlying causes instead of symptoms for serious chronic disease. It is a science-based field of health care that is grounded in the following principles:
- Biochemical individuality describes the importance of individual variations in metabolic function that derive from genetic and environmental differences among individuals.
- Patient-centered medicine emphasizes "patient care" rather than "disease care," following Sir William Osler’s admonition that "It is more important to know what patient has the disease than to know what disease the patient has."
- Dynamic balance of internal and external factors
- Web-like interconnections of physiological factors – an abundance of research now supports the view that the human body functions as an orchestrated network of interconnected systems, rather than individual systems functioning autonomously and without effect on each other. For example, we now know that immunological dysfunctions can promote cardiovascular disease, that dietary imbalances can cause hormonal disturbances, and that environmental exposures can precipitate neurologic syndromes such as Parkinson’s disease.
- Health as a positive vitality – not merely the absence of disease
- Promotipton of organ reserve as the means to enhance health span"
Neurologically-Based Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy provides a terrific opportunity for you to take an active role in your healing. At Morter Wellness and Education Center, we provide instruction on how to improve communication between your brain and body through simple neurologically based exercises.
The exercises are designed to:
- improve posture
- increase balance
- improve muscle tone
- decrease pain
- provide longer lasting results from treatment
