The issues of light deprivation can affect all age groups. Teenagers and the elderly can also benefit from light therapy to help regulate their body clock which tends to shift forward or backward during those periods in our lifecycle. No. The visible range of light does not produce vitamin D in the body. UV light is needed for vitamin D production.

Research has shown light therapy can have benefits for various circadian rhythm sleep disorders affecting teens, seniors, shift-workers, jet-lag sufferers and insomniacs, as well as Pre-Menstrual Syndrome (PMS), Bulimia Nervosa, dementia (through regulation of sleep patterns and reducing night wanderings), and non-seasonal Major Depression. Research into these conditions is ongoing at major institutions worldwide.

Light therapy is the shining of bright light into your eyes, typically for a half hour each session. Mood & Sleep Disorder clinics recommend 10,000 lux light levels Since the 1980's, light therapy has become the first line treatment for Winter Blues and SAD. Bright light can also be used to shift your circadian (wake/sleep) cycle, so it is used to prevent jet lag, minimize work shift change fatigue, and help abnormal sleep phase insomnias.

Light Force Therapy uses light emitting diodes or LEDs to produce a unique combination of frequency and wavelength of safe low-level infrared light, which helps to elevate muscle tissue temperature and increase circulation. All of these factors are essential in relieving discomfort and relaxing muscles, making Light Force Therapy extraordinarily effective. Light Force Therapy is free from dangerous UV and laser rays.

Laser Therapy or "photobiomodulation", is the use of specific wavelengths of light (red and near infrared) to create therapeutic effects. These effects include improved healing time, pain reduction, increased circulation and decreased swelling. Laser therapy adds energy to living systems. While we are able to explain many of its molecular and biochemical effects, it also adds energy at atomic and subatomic levels.

The answer to this question is incomplete because of the limited research in this area. However, we do know that children who have had brain damage (from a variety of causes) that result in one side of their body being significantly weaker than the other are likely to benefit. To date, we have worked with more than 70 children from 7 months to 17 years of age, who have the following clinical diagnoses: cerebral palsy, hemisphrectomy, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and hydrocephaly.

The EPFX/SCIO is an exceptional tool for use with children because they often are unable verbally to communicate what is going on inside them. A EPFX/SCIO session could unearth possibilities such as food intolerances and toxicities which could be the underlying issues surrounding learning disabilities, “acting out” behaviors, and out-of-control emotions.

Laser therapy is effective in treating soft tissue injuries including many medical conditions, degenerative disorders, acute and chronic injuries or pain and wound healing. No one is too young or too old to receive treatment. Laser therapy is recommended for anyone who has pain due to aging or injuries, and anyone who has been or is currently involved with rehabilitation, physiotherapy, or sports medicine.

Children, adolescents, adults, and the elderly with mental health needs, developmental and learning disabilities, Alzheimer's disease and other aging related conditions, substance abuse problems, brain injuries, physical disabilities, and acute and chronic pain, including mothers in labor.

Anyone from children to seniors with acute to chronic bodily conditions, people with stressful lifestyles, or anybody wanting to take a preventative and/or maintenance approach to their health, may all benefit from massage therapy.

Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy is an effective way to rejuvenate the skin, giving it a more youthful appearance. Light-based treatments use a less-intense, broader spectrum of light than lasers, but are effective in treating rejuvenation of the skin. Candela's Ellipse I2PL is the only light-based product that is built specifically to dual-filter light as it is absorbed, thereby generating more consistent results.

No. I treat children indirectly, by providing therapeutic programmes for parents to follow. I do see children for very brief treatment using Thought Field Therapy for various disorders such as nail-biting, tics, bed-wetting, fears and phobias. (see more information on Thought Field Therapy on this web-site).

Blue and Red light therapy is effective for about 86% of people, so there is a very good chance it will work for you, too.

Bright light therapy involves the regular (usually daily) exposure to a bright light source. Treatments typically involve an artificial light source of accepted therapeutic intensity and having peaks in specific wavelengths, with exposure duration of a set period and distance from the light source.

Light therapy involves exposure to intense levels of light under controlled conditions. The recommended light therapy system consists of a set of fluorescent bulbs installed in a box with a diffusing screen and set up on a table or desktop at which one can sit comfortably for the treatment session. Treatment consists simply of sitting close to the light box, with lights on and eyes open.

Recent studies show that light therapy can be helpful year-round for people who experience chronic depression, unpredictable recurrent depression, or bipolar depression, and the method has been effectively tested in patients using medication and even electroconvulsive therapy. The addition of light therapy to the regimen must be under doctor’s supervision.

You can expect to see fine lines disappear around the eye area and deeper lines such as laugh lines or lip lines greatly reduce in depth. Pigmentation discoloration such as age spots, sun spots and freckles will disappear. Poor skin texture, including large pores and coarseness as well as discoloration caused by sun damage will vanish. Redness, including symptoms of Rosacea will disappear. Collagen is vigorously stimulated to produce new and more youthful skin cells.

Proponents of cranial therapy claim that skull bones can be manipulated to relieve many disorders. To quote the website of the Craniosacral Therapy Assoc. of the UK: "Dr William Sutherland, an American osteopath, discovered intrinsic movements of the bones of the skull around the turn of the century. His further research revealed different rhythmic tidal motions in the body.

YES! Thinking now about pets, they are part of our life, day and night, including their problems. A dog / cat snoring or asthma-allergy pattern is very much the same as ours and looking for a solution is not a problem anymore, as the salinized air will work great also for them.

BioFlex is recommended as the treatment of choice for sufferers of musculoskeletal conditions in rehabilitation, physiotherapy and sports medicine. Specifically, it can effectively treat many medical conditions, including acute injuries, degenerative disorders and wound healing.

Bright light therapy has been extensively researched at leading institutions worldwide for over 25 years. Most people experience no side effects; however, some individuals may experience minor side effects (headaches, eye strain, and occasional nausea) that tend to disappear after the first few days of exposure. Bright light therapy has proven safe and highly effective when used under the supervision of a trained clinician or physician.

Going into treatment with your childrenGoing into treatment with your children to aid them in coping with their fears, frustrations and anger over the impending divorce will assist parents as well as children. If you and your soon to be ex spouse can work cooperatively in treatment with your children you will save the children and yourselves a good deal of pain.

MedSlant™ is the perfect size to fit under a crib mattress to benefit infants suffering from reflux or congestion. Children old enough to sleep on a pillow will benefit from MedSlant™ just as adults do.

Most preschool and elementary-age children love signing, as it engages their minds and their bodies. They love the movement, rhythm, and flow of sign language. Pairing the fun of signing with music is an excellent activity for children ages 3-8. The rhythm of the music, coordinated with the movements of the signs, is an excellent motor coordination activity that also builds language skills.

The children who benefit may be good readers, but more often they have difficulty reading. They usually suffer visual discomfort when reading and, when questioned, will often report perceptual distortions of the text. These distortions usually include apparent movement or blurring of the letters and words. Often there is a family history of migraine. Children with reading difficulty are more likely than others to report visual perceptual distortion, and to benefit from coloured overlays.
