Body Therapy for War Veterans With Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

"Body therapy involving direct physical treatments, conversations, breathing exercises and relaxation in the sessions. Moreover, the participants are taught how to practice vipassana or awareness meditation every day at home.~The body therapist works directly with the muscle armour and the treatment sessions have focus on creating a safe environment and enabling cognitive realisation and awareness of symptoms.~Each participant is assigned a practitioner who acts as contact person and 'lifeline'. Furthermore, a coordinator is assigned in ManuVision who will also act as contact person when needed for the veterans. This provides peace of mind, trust, and ensures retention. The coordinator or the practitioner follows up on the veteran's progress prior to each session."
