Charcot Marie Tooth is a progressive inherited neurological disorder that destroys the nerves in the feet, hands, legs and arms. To diagnose Charcot Marie Tooth several avenues can be tested, these include: Clinical examination, nerve testing, muscle biopsies, electromyography (examines muscle response to stimuli) or spinal fluid testing. If Charcot Marie Tooth is not diagnosed correctly then you could spend years living in unnecessary pain. Charcot Marie Tooth affects 1 in 2500 people and has been found by the ANZAC research institute to be caused by over 40 different genes. Current research is continuing into identifying these genes to possibly counteract Charcot Marie Tooth through gene therapy.

To understand how hypnotherapy can help you, you need to understand how it works and what it involves. Hypnotherapy is a natural process much like the state between being awake and asleep called the hypnoidal point. It makes you more open to positive suggestions and allows you to make good changes by nudging your subconscious into the desired thought process. In this state you are completely aware of things around you but are reinforcing positive thoughts in the subconscious mind which is what drives the conscious mind in our waking state. The way you feel during a session can differ for each person but generally it makes you feel relaxed and refreshed. This makes it excellent for stress as it allows you to stop and take a break for a moment as well as teaching you new skills.
