Energy Medicine views all living systems in terms of bioenergy currents and fields that flow and interact across a wide range of frequencies and vibrations. These energies permeate all levels of being from molecular processes to the 'subtle energies' of mind and spirit.
Health and ill health, injury and disease are considered in terms of harmonies, changes, weakening, or blockages of these vibratory energy flows. Energy Medicine based therapies aim to aid healing by correcting deficiencies and imbalances, thus re-establishing the natural healing, energy systems within the patient.
Energy Medicine is exactly what it says it is - the application of energy as medicine. Medicine to restore and maintain the energy systems of body, mind and spirit as a harmonious whole. This is true health.
Physiotherapy has developed around the three core skills of manual and exercise therapies and electrophysical modalities. Many of our mainstream physiotherapy modalities are energy medicine modalities in action:
Electrotherapy is a branch of energy medicine without the philosophy. As yet light and colour are omitted.
Mechanical energy therapies range from conventional massage, to more specialised techniques such as Bowen, Acupressure, Craniosacral, Reflextherapy, Shiatsu, Polarity Therapy to deeper myofascial and viscerofascial release techniques, joint manipulation and deep tissue rolfing.
Exercise therapy, especially in the form of shiatsu, yoga, Tai Chi and Chi Kung generate internal energy (chi) shown to enhance resistance to illness and induce mental alertness. This may also occur in 'orthodox' exercise, but as yet has not been explored.
The Body Electric: The body already hums with it's own bioelectric currents and fields.
Cells: Cells can be modelled as 'wet' electronic circuitry devices. Ion pumps separate charge across their membranes to create an emf. Membrane channels stream with intermittent flows of charged ions which induce momentary magnetic fields. Every amino acid, polypeptide, protein filament, and fibre is polarised and dotted with charge at every biochemically active site. Changes in charge patterns causes proteins to twist themselves into configurations in which they can interact with other charged particles. Enzymes fizz with tiny high frequency currents and fields as molecules meet and react upon their templates.
Cells are thought to generate highly coherent frequencies (think laser waves in step) and can be modulated to carry information for reception and decoding by other cells. As highly sensitive wet circuits, cells can tune, receive, amplify generate and transmit frequencies between themselves.
