Melbourne Inner West Tara Holistic Physiotherapy

What is Holistic Physiotherapy? It is a combination of hands on therapies which aim to find out what is really causing the pain in your body and then to treat the cause. Rather than just working with symptoms Holistic physiotherapy discovers the reason for the pain which maybe post trauma, operative procedure or stress and lifestyle. I treat on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays in West Footscray. For more information check out taraholisticphysiotherapy.peg. Appointments are open for 2023.

A Physio friend recently told me that 70% of her clients sought her out because of an injury incurred doing yoga- not in classes but as a result of imitating some amazing pose on Instagram! And who wouldn’t want to be able to do a free handstand or some amazing back bend? I think wannabe yogis are drawn to these poses because yoga bodies tend to be strong, lean and graceful. They are not worn out by high impact or repetitive movement. Yoga is not repetitive. It works every muscle and joint in the body in a unique way in each pose. Even the breath changes with each pose. But most importantly, authentic yoga is methodical. You start with the most basic movements. These early poses stretch the hamstrings and the hips gradually and build spinal strength. One pose leads to another more advanced pose. Authentic yoga teaches you to understand and work with your weaknesses, tightness and injuries. A dancer who comes to yoga with have different challenges from a footballer. Yoga also builds concentration and mindfulness- an ability to find a way into an advanced pose via how it feels. And authentic yoga guides you to recognise your limits so that you do not injure yourself.
There is much to be gained from finding a good teacher so that over some time you can find your way into some of these stunning poses without ending up at the osteopath/ physiotherapist. A combination of holistic physiotherapy and yoga is a profound and effective way to stay strong and pain free.
