Brave Clinical Balance System

Brave Health Group has a specific interest in the management of PTSD and anger symptoms. This is because approximately 40% of clients diagnosed with PTSD are reported to have significant symptoms of dissociation, which is generally viewed as a way to avoid difficult emotions and being detached from emotions. This can often be useful when people are working in occupations which experience significant traumatic events (e.g police, paramedics, nurses and military personnel) but can often result in feeling numb around emotions. This often causes a disconnection between the clients emotions and physical awareness which frequently results poor physical balance.

Because of our continued interest in PTSD and Anger, Brave Health Group has created an independent treatment process for the treatment of PTSD and Anger using the principles of physical balance which uses what is known as the “Brave Clinical Balance System.”

The Huberman Podcast, which is the most popular health podcast in the world and has a following of 7 million listeners has stated that research that was focussed on physical balance training found:

“Novel Motor Movements are the most straightforward way of creating neuroplasticity.”

A professor who is recognised as among the top 15 neuroscientists in the world has also stated: “ Indeed, mindfulness practices involving movement and balance have yielded extremely promising results for improving Executive Function (EF), better than for mindfulness practices primarily done seated and considerably better than for many movement activities without a mindfulness component.”

The professor also states that every study of a mindfulness balance activity involving movement (i.e. dynamic mindfulness, other than yoga) found either clear or suggestive evidence of executive function improvement. No other program or intervention (including brain training apps like Lumosity) can make that claim for 100% of its studies. Likewise, additional research in relation to balance programs has reported a 42% improvement in mindfulness awareness after the program.

Our Brave Clinical Balance System integrates where possible with our clinical treatment interventions. Because Brave Health Group has an interest in the management of PTSD and Anger, we also apply a range of other interventions including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), ACTV, Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) specifically for PTSD and Anger. Cold water and ice immersion therapy is also a component of our treatment approach to improve the symptoms of PTSD and Anger.

Our clinicians are specifically trained to integrate our balance program with psychological treatment interventions.Please contact our Clinical Director at Brave Health Group [email protected] or 1300 000 105, if you would like to know more about our programs.
