Neurofeedback-based brain training—the no 1 tool in Neurotherapy—is not a symptomatic treatment, but a therapy to rehabilitate brain glitches and to improve brain function.

But what is the difference between “treatment” and “therapy”?

For example, when people can’t walk properly because of knee pain, they might try if an Acupuncture treatment (passive) can ease the pain, or massage or medication or ice packs …

Alternatively, they could see a specialised physiotherapist or an exercise physiologist for exercise therapy (active) to rehabilitate the imbalances and dysfunctions which cause the knee pain in the first place. Injured athletes typically get treatments and therapy in their sports rehabilitation facility for a fast recovery.

In Functional Brain Disorders, the treatment of symptoms—typically with drugs—only helps temporarily at the very best. In contrast, a successful brain rehabilitation with Neurotherapy leads to a permanent resolution as shown in this symptom chart of one of our clients:

This client saw us for severe, incapacitating Migraine attacks. After only eight sessions all her brain-related symptoms were gone. One year later—without any further therapy sessions—she was even better. Big difference.

Successful Neurotherapy requires the constructive collaboration between client and therapist. Therefore, we won’t take on clients

• who don’t really cooperate with us, rather expect to be “cured”

• who are unwilling to overcome possible obstacles

• who just can’t afford to lose their related disability pension.

Also, for our own sanity, we don’t work with certain Personality Disorders, as well as with dishonest, arrogant, aggressive, pretentious, entitled or otherwise obnoxious persons.
