Using science to bounce back from burnout, anxiety and stress without medication or talk therapy
Did you know that any long term stress- mental, emotional or physical, can disorganize your nervous system?
Hi there, my name’s Alon
In a world full of around-the-clock activity, poor quality diets and unrelenting social and work pressures, your nervous system is probably working overtime.
Like the check engine light in your car, pain is your body’s way of letting you know you’re reaching breaking point and you need to do something about it.
Or else…
Working with clients over the last 20 years and dealing with my own pain from liver and nerve damage caused by Wilson’s disease has taught me some valuable lessons
I’ve learnt that chronic pain is a complex puzzle that you need to address both the physical and psychological elements of it, if you want to heal.
I’ve studied multiple disciplines from Sport Science and Nutritional Balancing to Breathwork, Cranialsacral Therapy and Postural Reflex Integration, trying to better understand this relationship between body and mind.
My conclusion:
The interface between the body and mind is the nervous system.
By understanding how physical, mental and emotional stress disorganize, over stimulate and influence the nervous system, you have the power to restore the balance.
Once balanced you can live a full, active and meaningful life, even if it takes a life time to find your cure.
What is Body Balancing?
Body Balancing helps change the way your body responds to stress, so you can calm your nervous system, restore your energy and give your body the best opportunity to heal.
But the concept of stress is so widely used but largely misunderstood.
One of best definitions of stress I’ve read (Mona Delahooke PhD) is Stress is the body’s natural adjustment to changes in the world.
Some of these changes are good for the short term, but end up hurting us in the long run.
The accumulation of these changes slowly increase the demand on the resources we need to adapt.
As the pressure increase your nervous system becomes more sensitive and sends pain signals to reduce your exposure to more stress.
Once it becomes over reactive even the slightest change in a healthier direction becomes difficult.
To change this damaging cycle you need to change the way the body responds to stress by resetting your nervous system.
Are you ready to find the joy in your life again?
The four step process to learn how to reset your nervous and retrain you brain:
Step #1
Identify and understand how your body responds to stress
Have you ever noticed yourself holding your breath? Or gripping the steering wheel or pen to tightly?
This muscle response is your body preparing for action in response to your thoughts and emotions.
The response is part of an adaptive defense strategy coded into your nervous system from previous experiences.
By understanding your innate protective programs, you can find ways to let go and relax the automatic muscle reactions giving your body the time it needs to heal.
Step #2
Learn how to change your response to stress: Get comfortable with being uncomfortable
Emotions cause uncomfortable and unconscious sensations in the body that trigger your defense system.
By simulating a stress response in your body in a safe environment you can learn how not to react to these triggers by becoming more comfortable with these uncomfortable sensations.
As you learn this valuable skill you will no longer need harmful coping strategies like, over eating, watching TV or losing your temper that can result in more stress from the guilt and shame.
Step #3
Creating new helpful habits: Upgrade your brain software
As you build your tolerance to the uncomfortable sensations of painful emotions and learn to calm and regulate yourself, you’ll be able to stop reacting and be able to choose new responses.
With your new calm state of mind and body you can try implement new strategies you’ve learnt about from a therapist, friend or my Posture and Breath Class Hangout page on Facebook.
As you repeat the helpful strategies the brain will make these new programs the default program.
Step #4
Building the foundation for change: Upgrade your brain hardware
Like updating the latest software update with your cellphone doesn’t work so well with old cellphones, you need to create a better foundation for the brain to create your updated defense programs.
Neuroscience now knows that the brain is always building new brain cells, the process just slows from stress and aging.
Using the lesson from childhood development, we learn that movement and nutrition are key in building a healthy brain.
Using reflex based movements to reorganize your nervous system you can improve your brains capacity to learn new thing without the overwhelm.
What other people are saying
I started going to Alon just over a year ago.
I was going through a very stressful time after my elderly mother fell and was in hospital.
I suffer from MS.
The feelings in my legs became very intense and uncomfortable.
I was feeling desperate.
I met Alon through a mutual friend and a life coach. I’ve been making use of Alon’s services for almost 3 years.
Alon is well informed and has a keen interest in a variety of health and wellness topics.
I find his services and advice very useful – not only the physical treatment but his views and approach give me a different perspective…
I first consulted Alon in 2013. At the time I was managing residual pain from multiple abdominal surgeries through daily anti-inflammatories.
I has started seeing a personal trainer to build my strength, but every time I trained my pain would flare up. I suffered lower back, hip and neck pain that prevented me doing any strength exercises…
