Kimberly Burnham

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."

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.

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.
