Healing Modalities
Good Medicine provides attendees the opportunity to learn about and experience various healing practices and natural therapies. Licensed practitioners and therapists immerse participants in a hands-on experience of their work while experts present educational sessions on each modality.
We encourage you to arrive early. Treatments are scheduled on a first come, first served basis. Appointments fill up fast.
Click on each modality for more details:
| Massage |
There are a variety of modalities within this field, such as Swedish, Deep Tissue, Structural Integration,
Cranio-Sacral, Lomi-Lomi, Reflexology and Shiatsu. The benefits of massage have been understood and cultivated for thousands
of years, and include increased immune function, improved range of motion, peace of mind, stress reduction,
and speedy recovery from injuries.
An effective massage is more than technique. An effective massage involves conscious
embodiment, bringing the patient and practitioner out of their heads and into their bodies in a smooth and fluid manner.
Massage
has been shown to improve brain function, and increase reaction ability while reducing reactivity. This makes for better parenthood,
performance at the office, and elevated function in life at large. |
| Acupuncture |
| Acupuncture is an integral and respected part of the practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It involves placing slender needles in key points along the body's energetic meridians to regulate the flow of electricity through the body, balancing the mind while notifying the basic and advanced systems of operation. |
| Chiropractic |
| Just as there are many forms of massage, there are many forms of chiropractic care. All of them, however, are rooted in spinal health, facilitating effective communication between the brain and the rest of the body. |
| Yoga / Tai Chi / Qi-gong |
| These are forms of moving meditation, and are highly effective in cultivation and circulation of life-force energy while unifying the breath with the body. Having a trained guide or teacher is helpful, as proper form makes all the difference in the world between a decent session and a phenomenal session, though once you're acquainted with the movement, it becomes a great personal practice |
| Hypnotherapy |
Many parlor tricks have masked the true intention of this practice. Though dancing around the room like a chicken on fire, unaware at the snap of the fingers of previous behavior is wildly entertaining, it doesn't scratch the surface of the power of Hypnotherapy.
Hypnotherapy works through the media of words and behavior using a variety of modalities: direct suggestion, guided imagery, metaphor, affirmation, and behavior change assignments, to name a few. Repetition is the key to the effectiveness of any method.
The benefits of Hypnosis are: the ability to create empowerment over old patterns, habits, fears or phobias, triggers, or limiting beliefs. With the hypnotherapist as a facilitator, you create an entirely new approach to life, rooted deep in the psyche, where all behavior is born. |
| Sound Healing |
Research from Fabien Maman (www.tama-do.com) has proven that 'disease' begins as distortions or blockages in the faster than light subtle bodies around the physical body. This can be thought of as a misalignment of energy. The muscles and organs can contain memories of past stressful situations, and these energetic patterns may manifest as disease if they are not cleared or released. Vibrational Healing modalities and therapeutic movement clear the blocked energy in the mental, emotional and physical energetic structures and thereby address the body in a holistic manner. This powerful combination can directly access these memories and other energy blockages in the cells of organs and muscles. This synergistic and holistic approach to healing aides in releasing blocked energy and brings the body back into energetic alignment.
http://www.soundformation.com |
| Crystal Therapy |
A crystal is a mineral that is nearly transparent and colorless or has a particularly quartz crystals such as amethyst or clear quartz, contain
energy that enhances healing of both body and mind. They believe that
crystals can be "charged" with this healing energy, in a manner similar
to the charging of a flashlight battery. The charged crystal can then be
used to alter the energy patterns in the person receiving treatment.
Crystals, gem stones, and healing stones are beneficial for ill children
and adults not only because of their healing energy but because of their
beauty and tactile smoothness. Many novelty shops sell flat indented
smooth stones, called "worry stones," that help instill as sense of
peacefulness when rubbed.
http://www.cjfoundation.org/CHTGlossary.shtml |
| Nutrition |
Nutrition (also called nourishment or aliment) is the provision, to cells and organisms, of the materials necessary (in the form of food) to support life. Many common health problems can be prevented or alleviated with good nutrition.
The diet of an organism refers to what it eats. Dietitians are health professionals who specialize in human nutrition, meal planning, economics, preparation, and so on. They are trained to provide safe, evidence-based dietary advice and management to individuals (in health and disease), as well as to institutions.
Poor diet can have an injurious impact on health, causing deficiency diseases such as scurvy, beriberi, and kwashiorkor; health-threatening conditions like obesity and metabolic syndrome, and such common chronic systemic diseases as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and osteoporosis.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutrition |
| Biorhythm |
The theory of biorhythms claims that one's life is affected by rhythmic biological cycles, and seeks to make predictions regarding these cycles and the personal ease of carrying out tasks related to the cycles. These inherent rhythms are said to control or initiate various biological processes and are classically composed of three cyclic rhythms that are said to govern human behavior and demonstrate innate periodicity in natural physiological change: the physical, the emotional, and the intellectual (or mental) cycles. Others claim there are additional rhythms, some of which may be combinations of the three primary cycles. Some proponents think that biorhythms may be potentially related to bioelectricity and its interactions in the body.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biorhythm |
| Light Therapy |
Light therapy or phototherapy consists of exposure to daylight or to specific wavelengths of light using lasers, LEDs, fluorescent lamps, dichroic lamps or very bright, full-spectrum light, for a prescribed amount of time and, in some cases, at a specific time of day. It has proven effective in treating Acne vulgaris, seasonal affective disorder, and is part of the standard treatment regimen for delayed sleep phase syndrome. It has recently been shown effective in non-seasonal depression. Proponents claim demonstrable benefits for skin conditions such as psoriasis.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_therapy |
| Ayurveda |
Ayurvedic medicine is an ancient Hindu system of health care that is native to the Indian subcontinent. It is used by millions of people in India, Nepal, Sri Lanka and increasingly in the west. The word "Ayurveda" is a tatpurusha compound of the word ayus meaning "life," "life principle," or "long life" and the word veda, which refers to a system of "knowledge." Thus "Ayurveda" roughly translates as the "knowledge of life" or "knowledge of a long life". According to Charaka Samhita, "life" itself is defined as the "combination of the body, sense organs, mind and soul, the factor responsible for preventing decay and death, which sustains the body over time, and guides the processes of rebirth." According to this perspective, Ayurveda is concerned with measures to protect "ayus", which includes healthy living along with therapeutic measures that relate to physical, mental, social and spiritual harmony. Ayurveda is also one among the few traditional systems of medicine to contain a sophisticated system of surgery (which is referred to as "salya-chikitsa").
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayurveda |
| Homeopathy |
This system of medicine is based on observations of a physiologic fact: 'the same things which cause a disease cure it.' Homeopathy uses extremely diluted safe natural substances to stimulate body's normal physiology to combat dis-ease.
Homeopathic treatment is individualized and effects patients on the physical, mental & emotional levels. It takes into account the etiologies, physical & functional signs, general behavior & feelings, sensitivity & modalities of the dis-ease. |
| Osteopathy |
An alternative medicine based on the principle that body has self-regulating and self-healing capabilities. An osteopath is a medical doctor who emphasizes on a wholistic medical approach, recognizing the importance of a properly functioning musculoskeletal system for the total well-being of the individual.
Osteopathy is not only about proper posture, but the ease with which blood, lymphatics, hormones, and the electrical impulses in the brain and spinal system flow. Obviously, less impedance in flow enables a higher functioning organism. Osteopathy is a hands-on modality which indirectly restores normal functioning of the body and encourages health. |
| Craniosacral |
Craniosacral therapy (also called CST, cranial osteopathy, also spelled CranioSacral bodywork or therapy) is a method of Complementary and alternative medicine used by physical therapists, massage therapists, naturopaths, chiropractors and osteopaths. A craniosacral therapy session involves the therapist placing their hands on the patient, which they state allows them to tune into what they call the craniosacral system. By gently working with the spine, the skull and its cranial sutures, diaphragms, and fascia, the restrictions of nerve passages are said to be eased, the movement of CSF through the spinal cord can be optimized, and misaligned bones are said to be restored to their proper position. Craniosacral therapists use the therapy to treat mental stress, neck and back pain, migraines, TMJ Syndrome, and for chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craniosacral_therapy |
| Bowen Therapy |
The Bowen Technique is one version of a group of technical interpretations of the work of Australian self-proclaimed osteopath Tom Bowen (1916-1982) known as Bowen Therapy, which is a holistic system of healing. The Bowen Technique was limited to Australia until 1986, when it was named, and introduced to other countries by Oswald Rentsch, who observed Bowen at work one morning a week for two years.
The Bowen Technique involves a gentle, rolling motion, with very light touches. The rolls are supposed to either tighten or loosen off muscles depending on the way the move is done.
The practitioner will stimulate sets of points, often with two minute pauses, supposedly to allow the body to use the move and integrate it into the body's system. The Bowen Technique is not a form of massage, though it does claim to release areas of built-up stress in the muscles, and clients describe experiences of profound relaxation after a session, often falling asleep after the first few moves.

Chakras and their connection to alternative medicine
Chakras are the active energy centers of the body where body and spirit most strongly connect. They receive, assimilate and express Biophysical energy. There are thousands of chakras in the body, which are connected together by energy pathways or meridians. This is the basis of such systems of medicine as acupuncture, biodynamic, Osteopathy, Homeopathy, and spiritual energy practices, which treat physical illnesses by balancing the chakra points and energy pathways.
In general practice most people work with the seven chakras which connect to the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of a person. Is there a scientific basis for the existence of these energy sources?
Dr. Hakimi will discuss the anatomic, physiologic, and energetic basis behind the energy spheres that balance our existence
