At Heal Thyself Institute, we recognize that the brain is constantly receiving and responding to information from multiple systems at once. That’s where co-activation comes in.
During a co-activation session, we may combine chiropractic adjustments, vibration therapy, laser therapy, functional eye exercises, vagus nerve stimulation, and other neurological activities within the same session. This layered approach allows us to engage multiple sensory and neurological systems together while supporting brain-body communication and nervous system function.
Co-activation is not a single therapy; it’s a strategy.
The brain processes information from many different systems at the same time. By thoughtfully combining sensory, motor, visual, vestibular, and other neurological inputs, we can create activities that challenge the brain and body to work together in different ways.
This approach may be incorporated into care for children with ADHD, autism, sensory challenges, or developmental delays; adults recovering from concussion or stroke; and individuals working on balance, coordination, focus, or nervous system regulation.
Each session is individualized based on the patient’s needs, goals, and clinical findings, and the combination of therapies may change as care progresses.
The brain naturally processes information from multiple systems at once. Co-activation allows us to combine carefully selected sensory, motor, visual, vestibular, and other neurological inputs within the same activity or session. The specific combination is chosen based on each person's findings, needs, and goals.
The therapies used during co-activation are selected and adapted based on each person's age, history, needs, and clinical findings. Dr. Waldo determines which therapies are appropriate and how they should be combined for each individual.
Co-activation may be incorporated into care for children and adults working on areas such as balance, coordination, sensory processing, focus, or nervous system regulation. It may also be used as part of individualized care for patients with neurological or developmental challenges.
No. Your plan is personalized. Dr. Waldo selects the therapies that best fit your nervous system at each appointment.
