| Description: | Select Guide Rating This book brings a large body of work, known as medical therapeutic yoga (MTY), to health professionals and yoga teachers so they can apply yoga postures to treat acute and chronic disease processes. MTY is based on integrative medicine's biopsychosocial model of care, a patient-centered approach - shown to be the most effective. For yoga to be used safely as medicine and to meet the needs of today''s society, yoga postures should evolve by embracing the current evidence base. Medical Therapeutic Yoga provides this evolution. * This book serves as a modern, non-dogmatic, evidence-based guide to yoga posture and breath prescription based on the most current biomechanical and neurophysiological theory and common mechanisms of injury. * Medical Therapeutic Yoga covers injury prevention and wellness, clinical evaluation and diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation, and organizational and professional health and well-being. * The book applies yoga as medicine for physical therapy, occupational therapy, athletic training, sports medicine, pain management, and physical and rehabilitative medicine. * Evolution of the postures and breath techniques, via the evidence-based precepts presented in the book, will provide a patient-centered biopsychosocial model of assessment through the lens of integrative medicine and orthopaedics. |
