Mind Body Program

RCBM believes that mind and body wellness are inextricably linked particularly a personalized and integrative approach to mind and body health. For this reason, it is important to consider how an individual's psychiatric and physical well-being can be addressed to treat the whole person. A major focus on mind and body wellness can be achieved through mindfulness and/or other therapeutic modalities that may also use body-centered therapies such as yoga and meditation.

Mind and body medicine focuses on the connections of the brain to the body and how emotions, verbalizations, behaviors, and spirituality directly affect health and well-being. It is a cognitive and behavioral therapeutic practice that enhances awareness of thoughts and actions to improve self-esteem and self-confidence to live the life desired.

Mind and body medicine uses a multi-disciplinary approach. Several clinical studies indicate integrative therapies can help patients cope and manage pain, minimize stress and anxiety, and gain an overall sense of control over one’s mind and body.

Many of our clinicians believe in the mind-body connection and use this orientation in sessions with their RCBM patients.
