Our clients want excellence in quality of care, communication, support, compassion, and most importantly results.
We believe the body can find its healing potential when there is harmony in the physiology.
Roberto Ricci, OTR, MS
Our Treatment Approach
We acknowledge the intricate interplay between stress overload in the autonomic nervous system and breathing instability, which manifests in a myriad of perplexing medical and dental symptoms, impairments in health, and functional deficits.
Roberto understands the unique challenges patients face when other interventions have failed to yield positive results. He takes into account that each case has a unique history, and time is needed to listen and understand the patient to be able to craft the best treatment from a multidimensional integrative approach.
Understanding Our Clients
The patient who cannot be understood nor managed successfully defaults into a grey area that can cause frustration, despair, depression, and hopelessness. These cases are typically difficult to manage conventionally because no source of organic pathology is found.
Typically, little to no attention is placed to the autonomic nervous system and the mode of breathing as a learned behavior. Said established patterns become the norm. The patients, in most cases, are not able to recognize the imminent danger they are in. The patient becomes trapped in the fight-or-flight response. Roberto understands this dilemma and has dedicated his career to solving complex cases where stress overload is identified and corrected permanently.

Roberto has served as a consultant for the U.S. Army, training soldiers on respiratory efficiency for adaptation to combat-related stress.
