National Rehabilitation Awareness Week.

 

The third full week in September every year is recognizes as National Rehabilitation Awareness Week. This year, National Rehabilitation Awareness Week is September 20-26, 2021.

 

At this time we at Mossman Associates and BioSound Technologies would like to acknowledge the benefits that can arise from rehabilitation programs. Also, we would like to recognize the dedicated individuals who provide rehabilitation services to people in need. We would especially like to mention those people in the drug addiction rehabilitation field and the different techniques now being used in the recovery process, which are instrumental in turning the tide of this national disaster.

Every person deserves to live his/her life to the fullest and rehabilitation can benefit a person physically, mentally, and spiritually, regardless of age.  This year, the focus is on raising awareness of the

 #powerofmedicalrehab. The intent is to educate people about the benefits and impact of rehabilitation, to increase opportunities for Americans with disabilities and to disseminate useful resources.

September Is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month

 

People have become increasingly comfortable talking about their mental health, particularly this past year. The topic of suicide – when it comes up – is still scary for many people to think about and each year more than 48,000 Americans die by suicide. 

Suicidal thoughts, much like mental health conditions, can affect anyone regardless of age, gender or background. In fact, suicide is often the result of an untreated mental health condition. Suicidal thoughts, although common, should not be considered normal and often indicate more serious issues.

September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month — a time to raise awareness on this subject, which all too often still comes with a stigma. . 

We at BioSound Technologies have partnered with Survive First, (survivefirst.us), to assist those people who are in need of help.

May-Mental Health Month 2021

As we know millions of Americans live with mental illness. We continue each year to fight the stigma associated with the disease, provide support, educate the public and advocate for policies to support these people and their families.  May is the month that has been designated to be the time for the national movement to raise awareness about mental health each year.

In 2021, the theme continues to be “Tools 2 Thrive”.  The goal is providing practical tools that everyone can use to improve their mental health and increase their resiliency regardless of their personal situation. We at Mossman Associates take mental health seriously. We will continue to provide professionals with tools to help them better equipped their patients to handle stress, be more productive, and realize their full potential.

What can you do?  Simply get involved by taking the simple action of encouraging your friends, family, and community to take their own and others’ mental health seriously.

BioSound Healing Therapies Added to New Facilities

 

                    FOOTPRINTSTO RECOVERY 

                AND GATEHOUSE TREATMENT

 

In these unprecedented times drug addiction relapses are on the rise calling for the need for additional facilities to provide help for these people.

Some Drug Rehabilitation Centers are rising to challenge.  Recently, GateHouse Treatment added a new facility in Tennessee. Footprints To recovery added two new facilities, one in New Jersey and one in Colorado.

As they had done previously with their other facilities, they focused on working with us at BioSound Healing Therapy to provide State-Of- The –Art therapies. The BioSound units are designed to be easily sanitized between users and provide a means of providing needed therapies while maintaining social distancing.

The programs contained within the BioSound units provide Brain Entrainment and Mindfulness, while eliminating the need to bring outside people in.   The units provide sound massages using deep resonant vibrational tones, guided meditations, healing frequencies (solfeggio tones and binaural beats), as well as Biofeedback.

 

 

 NICCHECK NOW HAS A SMARTPHONE APP WHICH ENABLES CLOUD BASED NICOTINE MEASUREMENTS

NicCheck now has a mobile app which enables cloud-based nicotine monitoring for all tobacco users including for the first time JUUL® pod vaporizers and other E cigarettes also known as electronic nicotine delivery devices.

Many smokers are switching to vaping and knowing the amount of nicotine consumed before and after is helpful. Many e-cigarette consumers use vaping as a quitting attempt or substitute for quitting. The NicCheck Mobile App quantifies nicotine consumption from all sources of nicotine and tobacco including smokeless tobacco, heat not burn tobacco products and nicotine replacement products.

The Mobile App is the first smartphone technology which measures nicotine consumption from all sources and assists people in switching, cutting down or quitting nicotine consumption. 

WHY MEASURE?

When you measure it you can control it. The mobile app enables both the tobacco consumer and health professional to monitor progress.  Counting cigarettes or pods is inadequate and inherently inaccurate.

NOTE; THIS APPLICATION HAS NOT BEEN CLEARED BY THE FDA.

The Biosound Experience

A thoroughly profound experience, a session in the BioSound Bed is designed to induce a relaxation response and then deliver positive and powerful messages relating to the recovery process. The system consists of a vibrational platform that is constructed with memory foam and special transducers that initiate resonant sound vibrations.  An audio/ visual system and biofeedback function are also incorporated as part of the program session. The client will lie on the foam mattress and wear stereo headphones. The vibrations will be adjusted to their comfort level. A pulse sensor will be attached to their finger in order to measure HRV (heart rate variability). The client will participate in a short biofeedback session in order to learn techniques that will help them make an emotional shift to a more coherent “state of ease” when certain triggers and stressors arise. Then the client will put on blackout glasses and listen to soothing music that is choreographed to the resonant vibrations of the mattress. Most people will attain theta level meditation in about 12 minutes. Then the messaging is delivered via audio affirmations and inspirational videos. Research has shown that affirmations will embed into the subconscious far more effectively when the subject is in this brainwave meditative state. When the session is complete most people feel a sense of well-being and are re-energized for the rest of the day. They also report a deeper sleep that night. A typical session will be about 45 minutes in duration.
