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.
