Effective Interventions for Cognitive Impairments

With the limitations and potential adverse effects of pharmacological treatments for cognitive impairments, non-pharmacological approaches are increasingly favored for their protective benefits. Specially designed low-intensity aerobic exercises, combined with conventional medical treatments, offer a promising alternative.

Our practice emphasizes a mind-body approach, integrating slow movements with dynamic tension, strength training, reaction training, deep breathing, and meditation. This method is informed by Qigong, which is rooted in traditional Chinese medicine and encompasses diverse styles such as Bagua and Tai Chi. These exercises are designed to enhance internal energy flow and overall well-being.

Additionally, Famo, a certified physiologist, incorporates both static and dynamic training to coordinate physical exercises, breathing techniques, and mental states. This comprehensive approach is popular for improving both physical and psychological health.

Studies have shown that practices like Tai Chi, Qigong, and specialized physiotherapy can positively impact cognitive function, functional connectivity, and nerve growth factors. These interventions are beneficial for individuals with neurological disorders, contributing to greater autonomy and an improved quality of life.
