    Experience your Virtual Library Card Today. The Virtual Library Card and a monthly newsletter on topics of interest and holdings in the library is available for $29.95 per year. Access to all five libraries is $100 per year. [Go To Shopping Cart]

    Your Virtual Library Card includes a monthly e-newsletter, access to hundreds of web pages and reference material beyond what the general public can view, and 2 special requests for information on a specific topic (4-10 page report including abstracts and resources available). These are written and researched by Kimberly Burnham, Virtual Librarian and real person. She uses her extensive research capabilities and education developed during her PhD in Integrative Medicine, 10 years as Director of Knowledge Management at the Center for Integrative Manual Therapy and Diagnostics as well as a practitioner, teacher and researcher for the Connecticut School of Integrative Manual Therapy, Dialogues in Contemporary Rehabilitation, and Northeast Seminars. Before that she spent 10 years working as a freelance journalist. 
     Each library includes Healthcare Resources, Advertising, Marketing and Public Relations Resources, Business Resources, International Resources, Education and Distance Learning Resources, Articles, Abstracts, Documents, Papers, Reports and Literature Resources on the following topics:

Matrix Energetics Library and Resource Center
     “One of the things I love about going to Matrix Energetics classes is that it gets my creative juices going and enables me to be more aware of my surrounding. In other words to notice and perceive more. I feel this increases my ability to notice something useful for my clients, my friends, my family and myself. The purpose of the Matrix Energetics Library is the same. We live in the information age,” Kimberly Burnham, Matrix Energetics Librarian.
     “There are 540,000 words in the English language about 5 times as many as in Shakespeare's time. More than 3000 new books are published everyday. It is estimated that a weeks worth of New York Times contains more information than a person in 18th century was likely to come across in a lifetime.” [Full Text Video]
http://www.flixxy.com/technology-and-education-2008.htm 
     Accessing some of this information, images, shapes, symbols, people (Whizard’s Council), book reviews, articles, research on modalities that work for people and can be put into a module for the individual client, nutritional and homeopathic information which can be used virtually can make our Matrix Energetics process more interesting.
 Voltaire 1694 - 1778, the famous, controversial French author, humanist, rationalist, satirist and philosopher said, "The art of medicine consists of keeping the patient amused while nature heals the disease." Voltaire is also quoted as saying of the medical establishment of the day, "they poured drugs of which they knew little to cure diseases of which they knew less into human beings of whom they knew nothing." 
     The information in the library is meant to enable Matrix Energetics practitioners to amuse themselves, their clients and change the world in the process.  
     For ten years, Kimberly Burnham, PhD worked as the Director of Knowledge Management and Librarian for the Center for Integrative Manual Therapy and Diagnostics. Before that she worked for 10 years as a freelance journalist. She has practiced, taught, written and read widely in the field of health and wellness in the last 30 years.
     She has been Matrix Energetics certified since 2008 and is a Matrix Energetics librarian with access to a vast library of reference images, material and information on ways in which people can feel better and function better.
     She will be putting on a series of free Matrix Energetics practice groups to explore the library and find more ways to visualize health and well being.
     The practice groups are available free on a first come first serve basis. Sign up for our monthly email letter for information on topics and dates and let us know you are interested.
     These are accessed through skype and teleconference.

Reference material for the Connecticut School of Integrative Manual Therapy's Integrated Systems Approach includes the following systems and more:
1. System of Biomechanics (joint integrity of the pelvis, sacrum, spine, and peripheral joints)
2. Musculoskeletal System
3. Connective Tissue System
4. Central Nervous System (brain and spinal cord)
5. Cranial System
6. Peripheral Nervous System
7. Visceral System (cardiac, digestive, urogenital, immune, pulmonary, detoxification, and more)
8. Circulatory Systems (arterial, venous, and lymphatic)
9. System of Energy
10. Body/Mind Systems

The information comes from the Morphic Field of medical doctors, physical therapists,
chiropractors, occupational therapists, massage therapists, speech therapists, physicians, learning
specialists, psychologists, nurses, wellness experts in body work, and more.

It is produced by practitioners in hospitals, outpatient clinics, schools, universities as well as other institutions.

IMT addresses rehabilitation in two categories: Structural Rehabilitation and Functional
Rehabilitation.
Structural Rehabilitation improves structural integrity of the body. It addresses joint
mobility, muscle tone, soft tissue flexibility, range of motion, muscle control and more. It
corrects patho-anatomy in biomechanics of the spine and appendages, muscles, connective
tissue system, organs, nervous system, blood vessels, lymphatic system and energetic
structures.
Functional Rehabilitation restores functional outcomes according to the optimal potential
of the client. It addresses balance, coordination, proprioception (internal joint sensation),
exteroception (sensory capability), strength, endurance, hearing, vision, speech, smell,
learning, behavior and more.
Structural Rehabilitation corrects anatomic dysfunction and influences physiology. It
creates the potential for function. Functional Rehabilitation optimizes the patient's
utilization of this function. The relationship between Structural and Functional
Rehabilitation can be illustrated in the following analogy. Think of a child playing the
piano. If the piano is out of tune, the music will sound poor. Even if the child is a master
prodigy of the piano, the music will still sound poor because the structural integrity of the
piano is lacking. It is always more efficient and effective to treat structure first - to tune
the piano. Once the piano is tuned, the potential for good music is there, but the child may
require some lessons. These lessons are Functional Rehabilitation. This Functional
Rehabilitation will help the child to reach his/her potential in creating beautiful music.

A Summary
There is no 'one' single problem affecting a person, causing disability and pain, and
inhibiting their function. Persons of all ages, cultures, and locations are composites of
their past, present, and future goals. Emotional, personal, mental/cognitive, spiritual and
other aspects of living contribute to healthy life-styles and goal-oriented function. Persons
around the world are learning more every day about function and dysfunction.
Accountability and responsibility for function and productivity belongs to everyone, rather
than to the physician, the insurance company, and the drug vendor. Integrative Manual
Therapy is more than structural and functional rehabilitation, more than Integrative
Diagnostics, more than an Integrated Systems approach to correct dysfunction and improve
function. It is an ever-expanding field contributing to all disciplines, who wish to improve
home, community, and world health.

Kimberly Burnham, PhD
To Book an Appointment

In 2006, Kimberly added a PhD in Integrative Medicine to her 15 years as a clinical practitioner, adding to the richness her experience working with individuals dealing with neurological and visual disorders. Kim is certified in Integrative Manual Therapy (IMT), a certified Matrix Energetics practitioner, licensed massage therapist and nutritionist.

A proficient writer with the ability to clearly explain health concerns and hands-on approaches, Kim is the editor of The Burnham Review, a twice monthly e-newsletter reviewing the medical and scientific evidence supporting the use and benefits of manual therapy, energy medicine and other forms of complementary & alternative medicine.

"What we expect and observe, influences what we get. People in my manual therapy practice can expect my full attention as well as positive changes and progress with their goals. If truly anything, can shift about your health, your life, your relationships, what does "better" look and feel like for you?"


The Burnham Review Summary   www.TheBurnhamReview.com

The Burnham Review is a twice monthly e-Newsletter on what the medical evidence based research literature is saying about the benefits of Integrative Manual Therapy, Massage Therapy, Osteopathic Manual Therapy, Matrix Energetics, Yoga, Qigong, Integrative Medicine and Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) approaches for your health and quality of life.

Each Evidence Based Issue is a review of the medical literature and other evidence of the benefit and effectiveness of Complementary and Alternative Medicine including Manual Therapy approaches (Integrative Manual Therapy, Craniosacral Therapy, Lymphatic Drainage, Muscle Energy, Strain and Counterstrain, Compression Syndromes, Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment, Reiki, Integrative Medicine, etc), Sound and Frequencies Therapies (BioSolutions); Transformational Consciousness Approaches (Matrix Energetics), Functional approaches (Yoga, Qigong, etc) and Biophysiography / Nutritional Wellness (Homeopathy, Biophysiography, Herbal Formulas, Foods) for a wide range of conditions.

The Burnham Review focuses on Integrative Manual Therapy, a hands-on approach with treatment techniques which address biomechanics (how the joints and musculoskeletal system move and functions), motilities and circadian rhythms reflective of the physiology or how the organs, the heart, lungs, glands, thyroid, adrenals, etc function and flow and reflex points including Synchronizers, Hypothalamus Regulation Mechanisms and Reference points which address the way the nervous system interacts and works with all other structures and tissues in the body.

We also explore, Integrative Medicine approaches which include manual therapy techniques as well as nutritional and functional approaches, which are support by evidence based medical literature. The Burnham Review gathers resources and information on various conditions.

Osteopathic Manipulative Treatments (OMT) are being encouraged for infectious disorders, influenza, even potential Bird Flu epidemics and other pandemics. By encouraging mobility in the area around the spleen, liver and thymus as well as improving lymphatic drainage, holistic health care practitioners can complement each other’s treatment as well as allopathic approaches. There is evidence that Yoga and Acupuncture as well as other manual therapy approaches can benefit people with seizures and epilepsy. Also consider the research into the benefits of Infra-Red Saunas (TheraSauna).

Back, Disc & Neck pain and joint dysfunctions, so common in the United States, are well addressed by Complementary Medicine approaches. Check out some of the Free Back Issues, including ones on the benefits of touch, Neurofascial Process and Integrative Manual Therapy.

Manual Therapy Practitioners are joining with other Complementary and Alternative Medicine practitioners to bring about Peace, using manual therapy as a Cultural Bridge to help people feel better, function better and make better choices for themselves and their communities. CAM practitioners also address environmental concerns with Green Health Care approaches. The Teleosis Institute has a list of a wide range of health care practitioners working to improve the health or people, animals and the planet.

Energy Medicine Practitioners are seeing shifts and changes with Matrix Energetics Frequencies, Reiki, Rife Frequencies (BioSolutions) and More. While many health care practitioners are developing better relationships and communication with Non-Violent Communication (NVC), Integrative Diagnostics and Applied Psychosynthesis (IDAP) and Self Regulation Therapy (SRT).

Kimberly Burnham, PhD Integrative Medicine     www.ManualTherapyResearch.com

      In 2006, Kimberly Burnham added a PhD in Integrative Medicine to her 15 year as a manual therapy practitioner.  This added to the richness and breadth of her experience and specialization in working with people dealing with neurological and visual disorders. Her dissertation topic was "The Effect of Integrative Manual Therapy on the Symptom's of Parkinson's Disease."

Kim is certified in Integrative Manual Therapy (IMT). Her 10 plus years at the Center for Integrative Manual Therapy and Diagnostics (CenterIMT) were spent treating clients at the headquarters in Bloomfield, CT and as the clinical manager in Boulder, CO. Her job titles included, instructor for the Connecticut School of Integrative Manual Therapy; Director of Knowledge Management, Director of Neurodegenerative Disorders, and Director of VisionIMT.

A licensed Massage Therapist, Kim graduated from Sutherland-Chan (Toronto,1993) where she later taught clinical courses. She also studied cranial work focused on holistic healing, headaches, back pain, fatigue, neurological conditions, cranial circulation and more through the Upledger Institute, The Milne Institute, Canadian College of Osteopathy and had a private practice in Toronto for 5 years before joining the staff at CenterIMT.

The thing Kim loved most about working for CenterIMT was the opportunity to see positive changes in clients with a dismal medical forecast. She has had the good fortune to see so many positive changes, changes that many would consider miraculous or impossible. That experience has really ignited her ability to see that anything is possible.

At CenterIMT, Kim enjoyed traveling and broadening her global perspective on health. She consulted with clients in Hong Kong, Israel and Italy, as well as treating people from all over the world in Bloomfield, CT. One highlight was speaking at the "Defeat Autism Now" 2007 conference in Verona, Italy. In 2008, she spoke about "Using Complementary and Alternative Medicine for Alzheimer's Disease" at the Connecticut Alzheimer's Association annual meetings.

To her clinical practice, Kim brings expertise as a Certified Hypnotherapist and Certified Matrix Energetics Practitioner. These tools allow her to interact with the client holistically, focus on shifts and help clients see significant improvements in symptoms. She has a strong grasp on reference material, research and morphic fields, which she taps into during treatment sessions.

Familiar with a wide range of nutritional therapies, Kim is a nutritional specialist (2006) and studied homotoxicology (2004) with Heel and phytotherapy (2009) with Kerry Bones.

A proficient writer with the ability to clearly explain health concerns and hands-on approaches, Kim is the editor of The Burnham Review, a twice monthly e-newsletter reviewing the medical and scientific evidence supporting the use and benefits of manual therapy, energy medicine and other forms of complementary and alternative medicine.

Referring to the first time working with an individual, Kim says, "I believe, what we expect and observe, influences what we get. People in my practice can expect my full attention as well as positive changes and progress with their goals. It is best to come to the first session having thought about your goals. If anything, truly anything, can shift about your health, your life, your relationships, your way of being in the world, what do you want? What does "better" look and feel like for you."
