Halotherapy

Halotherapy (salt therapy) is a natural treatment based on the inhalation of micronized medical sodium chloride.
Practiced in natural salt mines, its benefits have been known for centuries, especially for the treatment of asthma and other respiratory diseases.
The micronized salt in tiny particles can reach deep into the pulmonary alveoli, triggering a purifying action of all the respiratory tracts; it also helps eliminate toxins from the body, brings significant benefits to the skin, and reduces stress. Halotherapy is suitable for everyone, starting with children, who, in addition to being the most prone to respiratory and skin problems, are also the most receptive to this type of treatment, from which they can derive maximum benefit while having fun and playing with the salt. At the seaside, if you stay in areas characterized by rocky coastlines, you have the opportunity to inhale sea salt naturally. salt and iodine cause an increase in nasal mucus production and expectoration, which typically occurs especially in the first few days of your stay. After a short time, your nose dries up and no longer drips, and the lymph nodes in your neck, which so often alarm mothers, return to a state of quiescence and gradually reduce in volume. It would be convenient to live a few steps from the sea or, even if you live there, to have the time to enjoy its benefits all year round, but unfortunately this is a privilege enjoyed by few. In this case, Miniera di Sale Locarno may be the answer to your needs.

Salt therapy is recommended for a wide range of respiratory conditions and diseases, including:

– asthma
– allergies, allergic rhinitis (hay fever)
– colds and flu
– coughs and phlegm
– sinusitis
– tonsillitis-laryngitis-pharyngitis
– chronic bronchitis
– obstructive pulmonary diseases
– emphysema
– cystic fibrosis
– ear infections
– stress – nervous instability, anxiety, insomnia
– Arthritic pain
– snoring

Various studies have also found improvements in dermatological problems such as:

– psoriasis
– eczema
– atopic dermatitis
– allergic dermatitis
– acne
– oily skin
– other skin irritations

Physiotherapy and home therapies

A team of experts undergoing continuous specialist training takes a holistic approach to patients, managing pain in a bio-psycho-social manner, focusing on the patient and their previous painful experiences in order to prevent the pain from becoming chronic. Prompt intervention by a specialized operator in the hours following a trauma will allow for earlier and more efficient recovery, leading to a complete return to work, sports, and any hobbies.Once the rehabilitation goal has been achieved and functional autonomy has been regained, it is equally important to maintain the results obtained through continued therapy. To this end, we have decided to set up a specific physical maintenance protocol, in collaboration with the Body Club personal training center. This is a set of interventions aimed at promoting and maintaining well-being and preventing the onset of disease. Proper prevention helps maintain a good state of balance and general well-being, as well as making the body less prone to problems and facilitating healing by speeding it up if necessary.

Depending on the personal "history" of each of our clients, we proceed with treatments for chronic disorders, post-operative recovery of all kinds, and maintenance.

We also offer home treatments for patients who are unable to come to our center, equipped with portable beds, easily transportable equipment, and everything needed to perform excellent treatments in your own home.

Some indications:

-Acute and chronic pain

-Rheumatological diseases

-Orthopedic and traumatological problems

-Sports injuries of all kinds

-Recovery after accidents or injuries

-Postural rehabilitation, balance, proprioception

-Temporomandibular rehabilitation

-Treatment for headaches and migraines

Kinesiotape

Kinesiotape is a neuromuscular bandage that uses an elastic adhesive tape to provide mechanical and sensory stimulation from the part of the body where it is applied to the central nervous system.

The adhesive on this "patch" does not contain any drugs, but is arranged on the tape in small circles; these expand and contract with body movement, causing the underlying skin to move and sending stimuli deeper.
This stimulation has several purposes, such as: analgesic action, reduction of edema and inflammation thanks to its action on blood and lymphatic circulation, providing sensory stimuli to inhibit the muscles, to relax a muscle, to reduce a contracture or to excite a muscle, to maintain tone-trophism, avoiding hypotonia. It also improves joint function by stimulating proprioceptors.
There are different application techniques depending on the desired effect, which is why it is necessary to attend a specific course to train therapists in the use of this technique.

Dry Needling

Dry Needling is a very effective form of treatment for managing myofascial pain syndrome caused by specific muscle dysfunctions, trigger points, which cause local and referred pain.
The technique involves inserting thin acupuncture needles, without any medication (dry needle), into the muscles to be treated.
The skin is disinfected beforehand, then the sterile, single-use needle is inserted between the skin and the muscle, directly into the painful area, triggering a local neuromuscular response.
After dry needling treatment, the treated muscle area is much softer and more relaxed.

Keope

Keope is an ergonomic structure with proprioceptive resonance which, with the body in complete functional relaxation, leads to correct posture and total relaxation with obvious benefits in just a few minutes. It improves your respiratory, cardiac, and vascular systems and eliminates all types of physical discomfort related to the musculoskeletal system.Complete functional unloading means that the body is in a condition where every muscle is at rest and most of the joints are decoapted, allowing for greater oxygenation and relaxation of the ligaments. Keope adapts perfectly to the body thanks to accurate supports, whose position is adjustable. This structure works using three principles: mechanical modulation, mechanical vibration, and sound waves.With mechanical modulation, Keope overcomes the obstacles posed by rational barriers through proprioceptive channels, entering into resonance with vital functions. It acts by stimulating the skin's mechanoreceptors at multiple points along the muscle chains. In this condition, the modulation, which is of modest amplitude and targeted frequency, acts with precision at the intended points.The vibrating component is managed by software with various programs that establish the exact frequency according to the proprioceptive system to be put into resonance. The sound waves are produced by a voice and sound modulations that synchronize each proprioceptive sensor to the treatment, conditioning the exteroceptive tissue. The voice ignites the imagination, which is a strong support for the dynamics of the emotional state.Sounds and the voice contribute significantly to the process of stimulating skin mechanoreceptors, and are therefore indispensable for the results of multifocal mechanical modulation. All of this synergistically activates exteroception, immaginoception, and interoception, making mind-body therapy a unique experience.

Main benefits:

-Enhancement of creative abilities

-Improvement of athletic performance

NAET EUROPE Method

The NAET® Method

Born in India, where she spent her entire childhood, Dr. Devi Nambudripad moved to California in 1976. Having been very ill since birth due to a large number of environmental sensitivities and food intolerances that forced her to eat only white rice and broccoli for more than three years, she turned to medical studies in search of a remedy for her precarious health. In addition to her medical degree, she is a doctor of chiropractic and has a doctorate in Oriental medicine and acupuncture. She has also studied kinesiology and nutrition.

Based on the assumption of oriental medicine that everything that exists on earth is surrounded by an electromagnetic energy field, Dr. Nambudripad believes that an individual's "adverse response" to a substance is the result of "an energy imbalance in the body caused by the contact of two or more incompatible energies." This conflict creates energy blocks in the meridians which, when accumulated, can give rise to various disorders. Based on this principle, it also follows that an individual may be potentially incompatible with "everything that exists under the sun, including their own organs and tissues." Moving from this premise, Nambudripad discovered that a particular stimulation of the roots of the sympathetic nervous system sends a message to the brain that causes it to revise its erroneous perception of that substance. This new message will then remain permanently imprinted after the stimulation of certain acupuncture points and the patient's compliance with specific rules for 25 hours after treatment. This reprogramming is at the heart of NAET® treatment, which over the last twenty years has already largely validated this theory, with results that are as satisfactory as they are lasting. After treatment, the incompatibility or conflict between energies disappears completely, resulting in the disappearance of the related symptoms. NAET therefore treats the cause of the reaction, not the symptoms that result from it.

NAET® in practice

It is a painless, safe, and very effective method when practiced by certified professionals, which does not involve the prescription of medication. In addition, the muscle resistance test used to perform reactivity tests is extremely reliable and accurate. A variation of the method also allows very weak or disabled people, as well as infants and young children, to be tested and treated with equal effectiveness and without risk. Generally, only one element is treated at a time, although more sensitive individuals may require specific combinations of treatments. The sample of the substances treated consists of a liquid solution specially formulated for NAET®, hermetically sealed in a small glass vial, as the conductivity of the glass allows the electromagnetic charge of the contents to be transmitted. A session lasts about 30 minutes.

This method does not diminish or seek to replace any other form of medical practice and has the advantage of not interfering with other types of treatment. For example, people undergoing treatment are advised to continue taking their prescribed medication, as this does not affect the results obtained with NAET® in any way. NAET® is a complementary method to all other therapies, with which it can be combined without risk.
