Body Centered Psychotherapy (or Somatic Psychotherapy) is a holistic form of psychotherapy that can help you with emotional and physical issues including anxiety, depression and physical pain. It assists you in developing a deeper understanding of your emotional and physical experience, so that you can be present and in tune with your emotional and physical responses and regain harmony and balance in your life.
By utilizing Body Therapy Hyperbaric and counselling, access to stored memories and unconscious feelings are gained therefore influencing your overall perception. This process raises your awareness, connects you to who you truly are, and develops loving acceptance towards yourself.
Some body cues might seem obvious: a growling stomach may tell us we’re hungry; yawning may spell fatigue. Often, however, our bodies give us more complex and individualized messages than that:
In addition to helping patients heal post-surgery and athletes recover from injuries and fatigue, Hyperbaric Recovery Centre can provide effective treatment for some medical conditions. It helps to reduce hypoxic areas (insufficient oxygen for function) of the body to improve metabolic function of cells, support and strengthen immune response and enhance normal healing processes.
A child abuse survivor may find he looks down and away at work, an old habit we discover in therapy is meant to deflect attention or anger from authority.
A grown woman realizes she holds her breath while waiting for her partner to finish talking, just like she did as a child waiting for bad news.
A man with chronic pain finds that years of bracing himself against criticism has left him tense, tired, and wary of people.
A young woman with bulimia makes the connection that the rawness in her throat feels satisfying in a way, like she has punished herself for being imperfect.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy boosts immune response and enhances performance levels.
As we all know training is tough on the body, if you want to succeed you have to push yourself. But your body also needs time to recover.
Oxygen therapy helps your body to recover faster by reducing inflammation and accelerating muscle repair. So you can push yourself further than you thought possible with more rigorous training schedules and better results.
Have you ever wondered why a muscle tear (strain) heals quicker than a ligament tear (sprain)? The answer… Oxygen! Muscles have an abundant supply of oxygen providing them with the necessary energy needed for increased protein synthesis during tissue repair and regeneration. Ligaments and tendons on the other hand, do not. So, the question remains how do we get more oxygen to the tissues? The answer is simple…Pressure!
The elevated oxygen levels allows athletes to increase performance and recover more rapidly.
Why will I need Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
Oxygen is carried to the cells where it is the vital ingredient in the healing process. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy before and after surgery helps to heal wounds and accelerates recovery.
Body-Centered Psychotherapy gives us access to memories, emotions, and beliefs that are otherwise beyond words and cognition. If you have struggled to understand how your body and mind are seemingly on different pages, Body-Centered Psychotherapy can get them communicating again.
If you’ve never tried this type of therapy, you need to. As I age and I find challenges getting motivated to move, failing eyesight, and niggling arthritis (falling... read more apart, I know), an hour in Matt’s hyperbaric chamber changes everything. Just some time to myself to purposely do nothing, and just breathe, without feeling guilty is a god-send. It’s like sitting in a business class seat and flying around without the motion or having to wait for your bag with a zillion other people. This state-of-the-art oxygen therapy is something I’m going ti make part of my health management routine. Thoroughly recommend!
Pleasant experience. No feelings of claustrophobia…happy to read my Kindle for the duration. Matt is very knowledgeable & enthusiastic! First thing I noticed was my great night sleep
I'd definitely recommend HBOT. I had severe damage and inflammation from botched microneedling and this was one of the few treatments that helped reduce the inflammation and helped... read more to stem the progression of the damage. I had 6 sessions and noticed improvements and I plan to have more. Matt is calm, knowledgeable, kind and patient.
This is tier 1 health care by one of the most experienced practitioners I have ever met. After retiring from 15 years of circus acrobatics (Nica, Circa, Madonna,... read more Dragone, Cirque du SoleiI) due to injury, my body needed a lot of complex medical intervention. Matt has been an essential part of my medical team and has helped my recovery timeline with a combination of his therapeutic modalities. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy in combination with Matt's skill as a musculoskeletal and psychotherapist have helped me recover from these career ending injuries and helped my transition toward a life that isn't limited by chronic pain conditions. Reconstructive fusion surgery to multiple levels in my cervical and lumbar spine as well as a full hip reconstruction has taken a difficult toll on my health. I have had difficulty maintaining consistency in my mobility and pain levels during rehabilitation between surgeries. This was affecting the quality of my prescribed exercise and physical therapy. The care, support and ultimately the results I have experienced since working with Matt (both physically and mentally) is unrivalled. I continue ongoing treatments with Matt, particularly with regular hyperbaric oxygen therapy as the results are clear. Some of these benefits include; faster physical recovery, lower arthritic, nerve and muscle pain, reduction in body inflammation, higher mental clarity and eradication of eczema that has affected me since childhood. If you have complex medical conditions that require acute attention, a counsellor or the best darn massage therapist to help get your aches and pains under control (athletes pay attention!), this is the place for you. Matts' qualifications speak for themselves. However, the walls covered with jerseys and medals from international teams and athletes he has worked alongside speak volumes. 5/5
Has been the best for health than anything else!
Has made such a difference to my wife’s back
