Dementia
Dementia is a prevalent condition affecting nearly 1 in 10 Australia above 65yrs. Causes of Dementia includes Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer’s disease, Traumatic brain inquiry, Downs syndrome, Stroke amongst others. Dementia presents with symptoms such as memory loss, coordination difficulties, personality disorder, depression/anxiety, fear, irritability and hallucination, that impairs the quality of life.
Given the poor communication in neural activity in individuals with Dementia, MeRT℠ begins by mapping the brain activity and identifying areas that may not be communicating effectively. With personalized protocols and an understanding that every individual is different, parts of the brain not communicating effectively are specifically nurtured to effect global rhythm or synchrony.
By synchronizing the brain or neural activity communication, individuals living with Dementia can experience improvement in memory, concentration, focus, sleep quality and duration, mood and motivation, sociability and reduced depression/anxiety*.
