Ginger’s PYTI program has restored my love and perspective that physical therapy is a healing ART. I had been feeling uninspired, deflated by the obstacles in the healthcare/insurance system, and was losing sight of what drew me to the healthcare field in the first place. PYTI gave me a solid evidence based framework from which to integrate “whole person”, yogic, lifestyle medicine into my physical therapy foundation. It has since sparked joy, creativity, and a broader perspective into my clinical practice.

Since beginning the coursework, I have been in various different PT settings including: acute care, outpatient, home health & hospice, the retreat/wellness arena, and now venturing into my own cash based model of practice. I can testify to the effectiveness of MTY in each and every one of these settings. I have witnessed gains in my patients’ rehabilitation using this model, that I know would not have been possible using a standard PT approach. There is no separation of my “PT brain and my MTY brain”; my approach is always from the biopsychosocial spiritual lens, introduced in MTY.

The application of MTY does not begin, nor end with client/patient treatment…it is a practice that I apply in my own life and one that influences my lifestyle choices for the better! I am ever so grateful for the tools PYTI has provided for this; and I’m especially grateful for Ginger and her unwavering commitment, dedication, and passionate action to change healthcare- and her willingness to lead and inspire others to do the same.

With loving gratitude,
Dr. Katie Goroncy, PT, DPT

This methodology teaches the patient how to heal all aspects of their wellbeing and utilizes a team approach to care, thereby decreasing the pressure of the therapist to “fix” the patient.
