REKINDLE
Feel more like yourself again.
A six month integrative rheumatology program with one physician who listens for a full hour, treats with his hands, and teaches you how to care for your own body every day.
Who it is for
You live with an autoimmune or chronic inflammatory condition such as Sjögren's or fibromyalgia, or with symptoms no one has been able to name. You have done what you were told. You are still tired, still in pain, and still unsure what to do next.
REKINDLE works alongside your current doctors and medications. It does not replace them.
Why we work this way
Your body has its own capacity to regulate and repair. Pain, poor sleep, and years of stress can keep the nervous system on high alert, and a body on high alert does not rest or digest well.
REKINDLE is designed to help your system settle. We work on three kinds of alignment at the same time.
- Physical alignment: posture, fascia, and movement
- Nutritional alignment: food, digestion, and cellular energy
- Emotional alignment: breath, stress response, and the nervous system
The three parts
1. What you do for yourself
You leave with skills, not only a treatment plan.
- A short daily home routine, the Daily Drain, taught by Dr. Ki in person during your visits
- A movement practice matched to your body, such as yoga, tai chi, Pilates, or Egoscue, with referral to trusted local teachers
- An eating plan designed to calm inflammation, with guidance on digestion and on nutrition that supports cellular energy
- Ways to settle the nervous system: meditation, breathing techniques, vagus nerve stimulation, and referral for tension releasing exercises (TRE) when they fit
2. What we do for you
- Six private visits with Dr. Ki, 60 minutes each, in person. Each visit covers what you need that day: medical review, gentle osteopathic manual therapy (OMT) including Fascial Counterstrain, acupuncture if needed, and coaching on your plan.
- Most members need manual treatment more often than once a month. Dr. Ki will usually refer you to an independent acupuncturist or manual therapist for sessions between your visits. Those sessions are billed separately by that professional.
- Dr. Ki may also connect you with physical therapists and movement teachers. Your plan stays guided by Dr. Ki, who coordinates with these professionals when you authorize it.
3. What we do together
- A monthly group session with education, questions and answers, and guided meditation
- Invitations to workshops, seminars, and retreats
- A community of people on the same path
