MTY synergizes with the current, mainstream practice of PT. It builds on a solid framework to evaluate & treat movement issues using standardized assessments & evidence based treatment approaches. But MTY doesn’t stop there. MTY empowers therapists to look beyond the body part, using more holistic approaches by delving into all 5 areas of the human being using the BPS model of care.  MTY doesn’t just say, “Use more holistic treatment approaches.” PYTI® provides the specialized training & evidence based education to empower the students to be aware of things like the diet-inflammation connection, PTSD considerations in therapy, social and cultural limitations, etc.   

MTY sets a reproducible model for a BPS based practice and sets the stage for us to leave behind the dominant model of disease, the biomedical model, which “leaves no room within its framework for the social, psychological, and behavioral dimensions of illness.” (Engel)
