OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE TRAINING
Q - My daughter is an athlete and I am wondering if you would be able to work with her to help reduce her anxiety. She has previously gone to the Olympics, but puts a great deal of pressure on herself. Her sport is one that requires lowering her breathing and heart rate and being as calm as possible. Would you be able to assist her with your techniques?
A - Yes we would be able to help her. There are several protocols that are helpful. These include neurotherapy for optimal performance and peripheral biofeedback and relaxation techniques for quieting the mind and body to sustain hyper focus. Lowering respiration rate and heart rate is a straightforward peripheral biofeedback protocol. |

Q - Hello- My 16 year old son has recently competed a psychoeducational assessment. In the WISC IV, he scored in the 2nd percentile for processing speed and 42nd for working memory. He is healthy. Can your methods improve processing speed?
A - Yes, neurotherapy can be very helpful for processing speed issues. The processing difficulties can result from many different areas of the brain including imbalances in the frontal regions of the brain, excessive slow frequency at various loocations and slow Alpha frequency. First step is to determine the exact nature and location of the brain inefficiencies and then correct them with neurotherapy. |

Q - I am a 58 year old business owner. I run a marketing and sales program. I have lost focus over the last 10 years. I now realize I'm operating on about half of my potential. Would you have a program that would help me get my focus and passion back into my life. I am in very good health and feel great physically, it is my mental game that needs improving. Thanks for now.
A - Sounds as though your 'get-up-and-go' has got up and gone. My guess is that you have a deficiency at the back of the brain that is associated with the brain's ability to restore itself. You may also have an age related decline that is a slowing of the alpha frequencies. We see many clients with complaints like your own. The treatment procedure is very straightforward. First we do a basic brain assessment to determine if our suspicions are correct about the areas that need "brightening" and to rule out other potential causes of your complaints. Once the neurological issues are determined we do some neurotherapy to bring brain functioning into acceptable range. As part of the treatment we would most likely prescribe some harmonics for you to use at home during and after treatment to keep the brain sharp. |
