Creating a Biopsychosocial Bridge of Care: Linking Yoga Therapy and Medical Rehabilitation
Creating a Biopsychosocial Bridge of Care: Linking Yoga Therapy and Medical Rehabilitation
Page Range: 93 – 94
If you are reading this perspective, chances are that you are curious about the therapeutic potential of yoga and how to build a bridge between your experience and convention-al paradigms of rehabilitation. My intention is to facilitate bridge building between yoga practitioners and the rehabilitation community, including physical, occupational, respiratory, and language therapists and speech and language pathologists. Using a question/answer format, this perspective delineates the many facets of yoga therapy as they relate to rehabilitation. Hopefully the insights offered will inspire you to create your own professional bridges and collaborative partnerships.
