that treatment is targeted for the individual. For example, low back pain may be caused by limited joint mobility in the low back or leg, scar tissue in the pelvis, or inflamma- tion due to allergy. Each cause would be treated differently to get improvements.
A program is then customized for the person. Other treatments can include using pulsed magnetic field therapy and Natto frequency light therapy which help reduce pain and increase energy. Custom shoe orthotics can help to reduce low back and knee pain. They can help to decrease stress and help energy conservation, making walking, running and other activities easier. They can help prevent injuries by aligning the foot and leg properly.
Showing people how to take charge of
their health gives them tools to use to stay healthy. An education program includes information on health and well-being, how to detox properly, how to do an elimination diet, what foods are good for you, how to cook gluten-free, health coaching for mak- ing and eating fermented foods, eating out at restaurants gluten-free, stress reduction, imagery, and custom IMT exercises for your home.
Case Study 2: A man in his 50's was in the hospital
for two weeks for fatigue, collapse and weak muscles. He was diagnosed with diabetes and had a lab value for Hemo- globin A1c of 13.9 (normal is less than 5.7). Starting the next month, he decided to take control of his life. He retired early from a stressful job, implemented some diet changes and started running. He had a knee injury and needed meniscus surgery and then had a lifting injury and tore his biceps muscle. He tried supplements and homeopathy. A few months later, he worked with a health coach and made more diet changes.
Six months later he was seen for an
IMT Wellness evaluation. He wanted to continue to improve his health and body. He had pain in his right knee, right shoul- der and right elbow.
Body evaluation showed poor posture
was affecting his spine mobility. Without flexibility of his spine and right leg, there was strain on his knee that made walking and running painful. Muscle spasm and joint tightness were causing the shoulder and elbow pain.
The key to im-
proved health and feeling better is to address you as a whole person. Many people don’t realize how many aspects of health and pain and mobility they can improve. Building a better foundation sets a foundation for long lasting health. It is em- powering to feel more like your old self and in charge of your health again. Whatever age you are, your goal is to be the healthiest you can be, and to do the things you want to do.

Other diagnostics showed a leaky gut, and toxicity of the liver, pancreas and spleen. Repeat blood work showed his lab value for Hemoglobin A1c had improved to 6.3. He had a total weight loss of over 50 pounds since the previous fall.
Adding IMT bodywork, targeted sup- plements and custom orthotics improved his pain and mobility. He progressed to be able to walk for 2 miles for exercise, he was “feeling like a million bucks,” and “everything was coming together.”
