Integrative
Physical Therapy is a comprehensive approach to healing designed
to improve treatment outcomes by viewing the body and mind as an
inseparable unit. Physically, there is an emphasis on restoring
precision to joint motion through the correction of movement and
postural faults. Equally important is the human experience of pain
and its behavioral concomitants. This course is based on the premise
that factors of stress, lifestyle, attitudes and beliefs affect
recovery. It provides techniques that both reduce stress and raise
awareness of factors that may sabotage treatment.
From the perspective of traditional physical therapy, an evaluation
of muscle recruitment patterns and bio-mechanics leads to a movement
diagnosis. This directs the treatment. From the perspective of mind/body
science, the treatment outcome is improved with the use of breathing
and relaxation techniques that balance the autonomic nervous system.
Supported by the rich philosophy of the Yoga tradition, a space
is cleared to look at fear, anger, and attachments. Sensory awareness
techniques facilitate motor re-learning. Importantly, your patients
become active participants in their rehabilitation with an intake
procedure that addresses their quality of life, values, and priorities.
Integrative physical therapy considers the whole person in its goal
of reducing pain and dysfunction and increasing inner peace.
