Move into health

Peter J. Rappa, MD

In my work to rehabilitate patients with life-changing injuries-often the result of a traumatic event-I have found that it is necessary to engage the whole patient. My treatment objective is to facilitate an active, internal journey to improved health (not necessarily to a curative state).

In my clinical experience, five parameters effect change; all effectively alter the vibration or calibration that is the human energy system. These are pharmacologic energy-the power of medications; psychological energy-the power of thought; behavioral energy-one's state of being or level of consciousness; emotional energy-grief, anger, envy, fear, and love, which take and give power; and physical energy-the power of strength, flexibility, and endurance. Although injury, disease, and genetic conditions express themselves differently, these five "intentions" of healing can always be applied. I've seen results nothing short of miraculous when the health care team works with the rehabilitation patient in all of these areas.
