Heart Rate Variability (HRV) & Flow training uses breathing, biofeedback, or mindfulness to improve the natural rhythm between heartbeats. Higher HRV is linked with better stress resilience, emotional regulation, and reduced pain sensitivity, helping patients shift into a more balanced “flow” state.
Graded Motor Imagery (GMI) is a stepwise rehabilitation approach that retrains the brain’s perception of movement and pain. By using left–right recognition, imagined movements, and mirror therapy, it helps reduce pain and improve function in conditions involving persistent or neuropathic pain.
EFT Tapping (Emotional Freedom Techniques) is a gentle mind-body technique that combines tapping on specific acupressure points with focused attention on emotions or physical symptoms. It can help reduce stress, anxiety, pain, and emotional intensity by calming the nervous system. Patients can learn to use EFT independently, pairing it with breathing or mindfulness practices for improved coping and overall well-being.
Vagal Nerve Stimulation (VNS) involves techniques or devices that activate the vagus nerve, a key regulator of the body’s relaxation response. Gentle stimulation through breathing, humming, cold exposure, or medical stimulators can calm the nervous system, lower inflammation, and support pain management.
Involves the use of devices designed to deliver rapid pulses or vibrations to the muscle tissue. This treatment modality aims to relieve pain, increase mobility, and enhance recovery. It has gained popularity for its effectiveness in addressing various chronic pain conditions through targeted mechanical stimulation of muscles and connective tissues.
Heat and cold therapies are effective, non-invasive treatments for managing chronic pain by providing relief, reducing inflammation, and promoting healing.
