Myosymmetries Assessment & treatment of brain related issues, such as concussion, depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD,

Myosymmetries aims to improve health & wellness in our clients, and enhance both physical & mental performance. Unique in Calgary, we utilize sEMG (surface electromyography) to assess muscle dysfunction and qEEG (quantitative electroencephalogy) to assess the brain and its present state of functioning. sEMG and qEEG results, in combination with a written symptom checklist, provide a comprehensive

assessment and treatment of a variety of conditions. These conditions, among others, include:

➢ Post-Concussion
➢ Closed Head Injury
➢ ADD/ADHD
➢ Myofacial Pain
➢ Fibromyalgia
➢ Chronic Pain
➢ Depression
➢ Anxiety
➢ Performance Anxiety

Our former Director, Dr. Stuart Donaldson, Ph.D., BCIA(SF), ABDA, passed away in the Spring of 2020. He left behind a legacy that is practiced by our team at Myosymmetries to this day. Many of our team members have spent years working and training with Dr. Donaldson, and other highly regarded professionals in the field of Psychophysiology and Biofeedback. Myosymmetries provides knowledgeable and supportive client care through the use of objective and concrete data. Since opening in 1985, over 8000 patients have been seen for a wide variety of issues associated with brain injury and dysfunction. We continue to strive for excellence in successful client care and to expand public knowledge of biofeedback services.

Ready to Boost Your Sleep?

Consistency is Key: Stick to a regular bedtime and wake-up time.

Optimize Your Space: Cool, dark, quiet, and comfy! Reserve your bed for sleep and intimacy.

Ditch Blue Light: No screens before bed! Opt for a physical book under orange light.

Relaxation Rituals: Epsom salt baths, chamomile tea, lavender, or supplements like melatonin/ashwagandha can help.

Naps are Good (but short!): Aim for 20 minutes to avoid deep sleep.

Your brain deserves this! Prioritize sleep for vitality, clarity, and emotional balance as you age. Happy sleeping, everyone!

We all know sleep is vital, but its profound impact on our brain health is often underestimated! After diving into insights from experts like Dr. Will Cole, I'm sharing why quality sleep is non-negotiable for a sharp mind.

The Stages of Sleep & Their Magic:

N1 (Light Sleep): Your body's calm entry into rest – perfect for mindful rituals.

N2 (Moderate Sleep): The powerhouse for learning, memory consolidation, problem-solving, and creativity!

N3 (Deep Sleep): Essential for tissue repair, muscle rebuilding, immune function, and brain detox (the glymphatic system flushes toxins!).

REM (Dream Phase): Crucial for emotional regulation, processing memories, and mood stability.

During sleep, your body produces vital hormones like melatonin (anti-inflammatory!) and neurotransmitters like serotonin (pain threshold, irritability!) and DHEA, all crucial for mental and physical well-being.

As we age, less deep and REM sleep can impact memory and increase vulnerability to sleep disturbances. Physical ailments like snoring or restless legs can also disrupt precious rest.

🤯 What if we told you brain differences can predict substance use YEARS before it happens?

A groundbreaking study from and collaborators just flipped our understanding of addiction risk on its head. Using data from the massive ABCD Study, researchers found that specific brain structures in 9-year-olds can actually predict who will try substances by age 12-15.
Key takeaways:
🧠 Brain differences come first: Not after substance use, but before.
💡 Bigger brains = higher risk: A counterintuitive finding that challenges old assumptions.
📉 Thin frontal cortex matters: Linked to impulse control, this area was thinner in kids who later experimented.

This means we could potentially identify risk factors much earlier and create more targeted prevention strategies. What a game-changer!

Game-Changer in Autism Research! 🤯🔬
A groundbreaking study by Litman and colleagues (2025) published in Nature Genetics is changing how we understand Autism Spectrum Disorder! What we've long seen as one condition may actually be FOUR distinct subtypes, each with its own genetic blueprint and developmental path.

Key Takeaways:
1.Not One, But Four: Autism isn't a single condition, but rather four unique subtypes, explaining its wide diversity.

2.Different Genetics: Each subtype has its own genetic signature – some linked to new mutations, others to inherited variants or common risk factors like ADHD.

3.Timing is Key: When genes are active during brain development aligns with when symptoms emerge.

4.Holistic View: This "person-centered" research looked at individuals entirely, revealing patterns previously unseen.

5.More Research Needed: This is just the beginning! Future studies need to include more diverse populations to truly understand autism's complexity worldwide.

This research, the largest person-centered analysis of autism ever, offers unprecedented insights and could revolutionize diagnosis and tailored treatments. It helps us understand why every autistic person's journey is so unique.
