The
Role of Client Education in Our Treatment Program
We strive to offer many kinds of educational
opportunities for our clients, based on the belief that each
client must take responsibility for their healing process
and health. We find that clients who have a better understanding
of their body heal faster and incorporate the changes long-term.
(Please see Healing
and Inspiration).
Often, the most valuable aspect of
our treatment programs is the education each client receives
about their body, as to how highly interconnected and integrated
it is. We welcome all kinds of questions, especially the "dumb
ones" that all of us have but are afraid to ask. Often
our clients wish they had known more about their body and
its function, because they could have acted sooner to correct
or aleviate their problems.
"Sometimes it can be
as simple as restoring hope through education and awareness
of the underlying mechanical problem."
