What to expect when receiving IMT care and treatment?
IMT is comprehensive in its approach to healing. It is a body, mind/emotions, and spirit treatment. Many different modalities are used in IMT to evaluate and treat the individual. The modalities include but are not limited to nutrition counseling, shifting the CNS from sympathetic to parasympathetic mode, supplement support using primarily whole food products, IFS (Internal Family Systems) Counseling and treating toxicity/pathogens.
IMT stands for Integrated Manual Therapy, it is a Central Nervous System treatment, encompassing the whole body in care. It is a gentle, hands-on approach to health that looks for the underlying causes of a person’s problems. While some patients will exhibit specific patterns, others will exhibit unique presentations of dysfunction. IMT was developed at the Institute of Integrative Manual Therapy in Connecticut by Dr. Sharon Giammatteo, Ph.D., IMT-C and Thomas Giammatteo, P.T., D.C., Ph.D.-IMT-C.
IMT practitioners assess patients by using manual (hands-on) techniques. IMT's assess the body’s numerous anatomic and physiologic systems independently as well as investigate how these systems are interrelated for each patient’s pattern of dysfunction or disease. The various inherent rhythms in the body (also known as biologic rhythms, circadian rhythms, or motilities) are used to develop a customized treatment plan for the patient.
My passion is to collaborate with you to return your body to its own innate healing cycle. Treatment time is limited so education about preventative self-care and rehabilitation are provided to do at home. There is a time commitment that each patient makes to implement these assigned practices for success of this type of care.
