The Mind Body Room, addressing the psychologic & physiologic aspects of injury and recovery

Wednesday, October 7th, 2009

PRP therapy, and other cutting edge  treatments have emerged as a result of pioneering work from European soccer clubs.  Recently clubs have utilized technology to address the psychological component of an injury experienced by the elite multi-million dollar athlete. The Mind Room was designed to accelerate healing and enhance performance by improving cognitive function using advanced biofeedback technology . This technology has helped Olympic athletes win gold medals & soccer clubs achieve championships.  I believe that more of this mind/body “medicine ” is needed in the US & will become common throughout the professional sports world in time.

This technology may be coming to Los Angeles CA at the Orthohealing Cemindroomnter soon & will be available not only for elite athletes, but also for the weekend warrior and patients suffering with pain.

Danielle Aufiero MD addresses the Los Angeles County Osteopathic Association on Platelet Rich Plasma

Danielle Aufiero spoke last week at the Los Angeles County Osteopathic Association meeting in Pomona, CA regarding updates in PRP.  Many Osteopathic Physicians attended the lecture and are becoming more familiar with the fundamental science and emerging literature behind the treatment. Osteopaths are liscensed physicians in the US, but have an additional emphasis in training on treating the body as a whole and are generally more holistically orientated. Therefore PRP is an appealing treatment option for the Osteopath.
