The role of trauma and interruptions in development
What if we need a little help to fill in the blanks or connect the dots?
We grow and learn by welcoming new feelings, sensations and lessons into our lives. Research shows that the best way to learn is through play and the most efficient way to grow is through mimicking the ways that the body recognizes as natural.
After all, Mother Nature usually knows best.
As our bodies and brains grow, they develop a common language based on functional movements based on principles of human physiology. Therapies that embrace these natural methods of simultaneous physical and neurological development are at the heart of understanding and embracing ALF Therapy, OraLase Therapy and BabyLase.
If there was an interruption in the development of any natural process, compensations occur to allow for continued development. However, there is always a piece missing from the puzzle when trauma due to illness or injury occurs.
The Face Place has been designed to help people understand that when something has been missing, there are tools that help the healthcare team to find and satisfy the missing piece of the puzzle so that a more natural method of development can be supported.
Those "missing pieces" usually look like:
- a less than efficient swallowing and speech pattern
- sleep related breathing disorders
- pain or dysfunction
- crooked, crowded teeth
- imbalance in facial and cranial bones
- learning or attention deficit disorders
- retained primitive reflexes and movement disorders
