PHYSICAL COMPONENT TO HEALING
Physical health plays a key role in our overall health. Physical wellness includes regular physical activity along with a healthy, balanced, and effective nutrition program.
Activity
Regular activity gives us the benefit not only of improving physical health but also of enhancing our emotional, social, and intellectual health. Regular physical activity can help keep thinking, learning, and judgment skills sharp. It can reduce the risk of depression and anxiety and improve sleep. Physical activity can also provide a social benefit through group activities and team building.
We stress the importance of being physically active and provide clients with appropriate activities they can pursue. We want to help clients find activities they enjoy and will be more likely to continue. Finding and fitting activities into a routine can be essential to overall health progress and goals.
Nutrition
Eating foods with essential nutrients is a natural step to building and maintaining our mental health. A balanced and complete diet helps to create mental clarity and focus. We express the importance of continued healthy eating and offer consultations with our dietician to help assess individual dietary needs when appropriate.
and while trying to uncover the core sources of each person’s struggle, we emphasize the importance of gaining and holding balance in these areas: Emotional, Social, Physical and Education.
