Wellness...The Way We See It.
Most people view wellness as a luxury, a sort of pampering that one adds to their life when they have extra time or money. They take a short-term, quick-fix approach to their healthcare. When they hurt they take a pain-reliever, get a massage or an adjustment and then go on with their life until they’re symptomatic again…without ever changing the behavior or resolving the thing that was causing the problem in the first place. Longterm health can never be achieved through short-term, short-sighted strategies.
Although they might choose to avoid traditional medical care when possible,most people use alternative approaches in much the same way that they use aspirin. Whether they’re treating the “problem” with chiropractic, herbs and acupuncture, or muscle relaxants and orthopedic surgery, the mindset is the same- “Fix it so I can get on with my life.”
We see things differently…
We see wellness as distinctly different from treatment. When we are ill, we seek treatment to restore us to a neutral point without illness or disease. Whether we seek medical treatment,holistic treatment, or alternative therapies…treatments are based on illness avoidance.
A wellness approach consists ofseeking our full potential, and developing new strategies that take us beyond the neutral point, to a thriving sense of well-being, and high quality of life.
The focus of our wellness programs is to develop the tools to feel your best, be more adaptable and resilient, and be more energized, vibrant and alive!
We See Life As A Journey Which Can Be Travelled In One Of Two Ways:
You can curse what appear to be impediments in your path and choose to feel powerless, blame your past and guard yourself against the uncertainty of the future, or you can embrace each day with wonder and gratitude, celebrate the lessons learned from your past and trust in the possibilities that lie ahead.
At cardea we understand your need for relief of symptoms and we’ll do our best to help you get out of pain as quickly as possible. At the same time we know that the narrow scope and limited mindset of practices that focus entirely on symptomatic relief can be costly in the long-term. We'd believe you deserve more than that..
Attaining abundant health, feeling vibrant, strong, healthy and powerful is a totally different goal than just feeling pain-free!
Our wellness programs are designed to do much more than just relieve symptoms or prevent future illness. They have been carefully designed to “teach” you, through a combination of Network Spinal Analysis entrainments and Somato Respiratory Integration exercises, and individualized coaching and support, how to use your body’s physical and energetic resources to create and sustain a“wellness” lifestyle.
Wellness is not just the absence of symptoms…Wellness Is Knowing “I’m Right Where I Need To Be”…
… and “I’ve got the resources and capabilities I need to make the choices and take the actions that will make my life better from this day forward.” Our programs were created to help you experience this feeling for yourself, everyday! Learn more about Our Services...
“Wellness is that state in which you are relatively invincible, nothing can ruin your day, you feel alive, vital and confident, and experience a high state of well-being.”
-Dr.Donald Epstein
A Closer Look
In providing true wellness care, we address the three major factors that contribute to a loss of quality of health and quality of life:
- Physical/Structural:
- exercise & activity;
- posture & ergonomics;
- injuries and physical trauma (slips, falls and accidents);
- Chemical:
- nutrition and toxins
- things we eat, drink, breathe and put on our skin;
- Neuro/Emotional perspectives and limiting beliefs reinforce and keep us "stuck" in stress physiology.
Any of these categories can exceed your body’s ability to adapt effectively, cause you chronic pain, loss of energy and vitality and interfere directly with:
- Digestion: frequent acid reflux, GERD, IBS, “nervous stomach” and other signs of digestive compromise
- Immune Function: compromised immunity, vulnerability to frequent colds, viruses, allergies and autoimmune conditions
- Reproduction: trouble with periods, PMS, PMDD, trouble conceiving and sustaining pregnancy
…and hold you back from your highest potential. Our model offers progressive levels of care, each distinct in the outcomes expected, and your benefits. Read more about our life-changing programs…
