Whole Health Team
Many in the US are familiar with the effectiveness of therapeutic bodywork, movement education, acupuncture, yoga and massage in treating pain, relieving stress and addressing other psychological and physical trauma. However, these techniques that are so common here, have not widely reached abroad to countries like Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Indonesia, recently devastated by natural disasters and in need of effective affordable health care options.
While most relief organizations recognize the need for immediate medical care, many have not yet taken advantage of the long term benefits that cost effective holistic protocols can provide to those suffering from Post Traumatic Stress, chronic pain and neuromuscular disorders. Through Team Whole Health, Real Medicine can now provide both clinical support and instruction in progressive, complementary holistic healing techniques to physical therapy networks in these devastated countries.
Unique to these education programs are the benefits that continue after the trainings. Once taught, therapists can train others, including lay caregivers, long after the initial costs are absorbed, and the ongoing enhanced treatments per patient further leverage the initial donation and continue to reduce the cost benefit per patient over time.
