However, what I learned was much more, as training in MTY opens upa holistic and individual centered approach to healthcare. By avoiding a reductionist system of evaluation, and, instead, utilizing a biopsychosocial…
It is in this (pediatric) messy and incredible setting that MTY blends so effortlessly. As a traditional biomedically trained physical therapist and athletic trainer and also a 200 hr trained yoga teacher, I already recognized the need for synchrony between Eastern and Western Medicine. I couldn’t facilitate motor development if the child was never free…
