Integrated Women’s
Health Care Program
The Benefits of Integrated Women’s Health Care
Program
Sometimes in the world of Western medicine, physicians just
do not have the time or make the time to evaluate their patient’s
full medical needs. In general, very little time is spent
between the doctor and the patient. This time spent together
usually includes questions regarding symptoms, the family’s
medical history, and going over the results of any medical
tests that were ordered.
Also, the Western medicine physicians usually do not incorporate
other healing disciplines, which could be healing disciplines
may be from other cultures, or alternative methods of healing.
Additionally, Western medicine does not consider the prescription
of the power of music, prayer or the power of the mind.
However, we should know that humanity is more than just being
a biological creature. As men and women, there is a complexity
that includes many parts that make up the whole. It stands
to reason that if each of the parts is given attention and
treatment, then the whole person will be healed.
Hence, to provide healing through an integrated women’s
health care program a required approach to healing, should
include various methods to separate parts of the being. Some
of those alternative methods include biofeedback and music
therapy.
What is Biofeedback?
Biofeedback, which plays a part of an integrated women’s
health care program, usually combines traditional Western
medicine with alternative forms of medicine. Certain vital
signs such as blood pressure heart rate and the temperature
of the outer skin are measured and conveyed to the patient.
The information is provided at the time to allow the patient
to increase their level of awareness and to respond to the
body’s signals.
The response of the patient is needed to counteract any negative
bodily functions that are occurring and deal directly with
the source of these negative symptoms. The healing response
of the patient to such conditions such as hypertension or
the onset of migraine headaches is accomplished through taught
forms of relaxation processes.
What is Music Therapy?
Music therapy is also another alternative form of therapy
as part of an integrated women’s health care program.
As the name suggests, treatment is done through music. This
therapy is administered by a qualified musical therapist.
Music therapy makes use of specifically structured elements
to elevate the processes of the client’s physical and
mental condition.
Music therapy also consists not only of listening to music,
but through the playing of musical instruments, writing music,
flowing with music and through various imaginative exercises.
Ultimately, the goal of music therapy is to reach all aspects
of the individual and enhance the healing process.
