AUTOIMMUNE & NEUROIMMUNE DISORDERS
What Are Autoimmune & Neuroimmune Disorders?
Autoimmune Disorders and Neuroimmune Disorders are classifications of conditions that involve the immune system, each with unique characteristics and impacts on the body.
Autoimmune disorders arise when the immune system erroneously attacks the body’s own healthy tissues, viewing them as foreign invaders. This can result in inflammation and damage to various organs and systems. Symptoms can vary widely …
Neuroimmune disorders involve the interplay between the immune system and the nervous system. These conditions can affect both the central and peripheral nervous systems,
While both autoimmune and neuroimmune disorders involve immune system dysfunction, autoimmune disorders primarily impact various body systems and tissues, whereas neuroimmune disorders specifically address the relationship between the immune system and the nervous system.
Common Issues You Might See
- Fatigue, inflammation, pain, systemic effects (autoimmune)
- Weakness, sensory disturbances, cognitive issues, coordination problems (neuroimmune)
Because these disorders affect multiple systems, they often lead to complex and overlapping symptoms that impact daily life, learning, movement, sensation and mood.
Our Integrative Approach
Our method provides comprehensive support for individuals with neuroimmune disorders, including conditions such as Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, POTS, dysautonomia, and others. We recognize that the immune response in these disorders can be intense … Techniques such as manual therapy, lymphatic drainage, reflexology, and sensory integration have shown benefit for those experiencing immune challenges, particularly in addressing trauma and stress within the body.
Manual Therapy & Movement — to support nervous system & lymph flow
Sensory-Motor Integration — address how body processes movement, sensation and immune stress
Collaboration with Healthcare Providers — integrate existing diagnostics and medical care
Personalized Coaching — family/home support, lifestyle/health habits, nervous system regulation
Note: Works with children, teens, and adults; supports diagnosed and undiagnosed clients.
What to Expect
- Initial Assessment — review immune/neurological history and reflex/sensory-motor baseline
- Customized Plan — based on individual profile (immune system status, nervous system function, lifestyle)
- Therapeutic Sessions — manual/movement therapy, guided home tasks, and sensory-motor practices
- Coaching & Home Integration — lifestyle, nervous system regulation habits, and family support
- Progress Review & Maintenance — tracking systemic changes, transitioning into long-term support
No formal diagnosis required. We welcome children, teens, and adults with immune or neuroimmune related challenges, even if traditional treatments have plateaued.
What Success Looks Like
Every individual is different. But our clients often report greater nervous system stability, improved coordination, reduced fatigue, clearer cognition and better resilience.
