The goal of Holistic Physical Therapy is to create long-lasting
sustainable changes in a person’s health and movement so that the person can return to a full and active life. To be successful in this goal, it is important to consider the whole body, not just the painful joint or joints. Traditional Physical Therapy would help the person attain greater movement in a joint, but the changes might not last if there is infl ammation or other underlying reasons for the joint problem. The joint compression, often, is the effect, not the cause of the problem. By getting a broader view of the body to see what might be infl uencing the joint or joints, we can guide the person towards pain-free living.
