Dr. Audrey Siow's unique approach

The primary goal with all patients who present to Dr. Siow is to determine the causes of their health concern. This is valuable, because just treating symptoms without addressing the person having the cause of the problem will not provide the long-term solution patients are seeking.

The goal of most health care professionals is to provide treatment to return a patient to their pre-illness status. Implicit in this goal is the assumption that their pre-illness state was their optimum level of well-being and function.

Dr. Siow's view of most patient's health concern stems from dysfunctional lifestyle and relationships. In addition, the fast changing modern 21st century living creates stress and decline in physical, mental and/or emotional health long before the experience of injury, illness and/or pain. The health concern serves merely as a wake up call for the patient to pause and take stock of LIFE-mind, body and spirit. Returning a patient to pre-illness status without the tools and framework beyond diet and exercise serves only to help perpetuate the same reason for seeking help in the first place.

In essence, in order to heal and be whole, one needs to grow. This includes

  • Discovering new awareness of how one does one's own mind-body-emotion-spirit function.
  • Transforming the function of a spine that is held in a long standing defensive reaction to a more responsive, self- correcting and resilient spine.
  • Awakening from a sense of disempowerment to empowerment by having a more efficient nervous system capable of reproducing and sustaining an inner experience of well-being to live more fully

Dr. Siow helps all patients to achieve greater well-being and a higher level of function through:

  • Network Spinal Analysis (NSA)
  • Somato-respiratory integration (SRI)
  • Nutrition

What is Network Spinal Analysis

Network Spinal Analysis, through specific low force touches to the spine, assists the brain in developing new strategies to:

  • experience the world
  • adapt to stress
  • dissipate tension from the spine and nerves
  • connect with your body's natural rhythms
  • experience greater well being
  • make healthier choices
  • create a more self - correcting self reliant spine
  • develop the Somatopsychic and Respiratory "healing waves"

Network Spinal Analysis™ is an evidenced based approach to wellness and body awareness. It incorporates gentle and precise touches to the spine that cue the brain to create new pathways for releasing tension and illness. NSA fosters and utilizes two unique healing waves that travel along the spine. These waves are associated with the spontaneous release of spinal and life tensions. These waves use existing tension as fuel for spinal re-organization while enhancing vital communication between the brain and organ/neurologic networks. NSA results in greater self-awareness of the relationships between the body, mind, emotion and expression of the human spirit.

What is Somato Respiratory Integration?

Somato Respiratory Integration™ (SRI) exercises are designed to assist the higher brain centers become more aware and responsive to the body. Through focused attention, touch and verbal statements these exercises reconnect breathing with awareness of the body and its natural rhythms.

SRI helps the individual to

  • experience his/her body more fully
  • instantly shift the internal state of consciousness to one that supports trust for the body-mind and healing process and
  • promote increased peace, safety and ease.

These exercises appear to consistently reverse the process of defense physiology, spinal distortion and the disconnection that hinders the progression and deepening of experience in Network Spinal care.

For the acute patient, SRI provides a simple and fast tool to take the "charge" off the symptom or crisis, dispel fear and encourage trust in the body.

SRI exercises can be found in the book titled "The 12 Stages of Healing" written by Dr. Donald Epstein.
