When I think of what physical therapy should be; I think of a more holistic model working WITH the whole body, the mind and spirit. That is how I practice the art of Holistic Physical Therapy. Most often I hear of clients who are put on machines, bikes or traction with no one looking at the whole person.
They only look at muscles and joints. At our office, I look at the whole body including the fascial , cranial , and lymphatic systems. Most people come to see us because of physical pain.
There are many factors that contribute to that pain. Inflammation in your system can cause and effect pain. It may be from diet, lifestyle, or trauma. Stress and the emotions trapped within your fascial system also affect how you feel physically. That is my belief.
Ninety-nine percent of the people that come to see us are having problems due to lack of flexibility rather than lack of strength. That is why at Inspired Body Therapy I first address dysfunctions with improving the mobility to the fascial system.
Relieving restrictions in these systems then allows your body to function better. The treatments at Inspired Body Therapy are one-on-one individual sessions for 60 minutes with hands on treatments, which is different than most therapies.
