Integrating Holistic Healing
Physyog represents more than just a book—it embodies years of exploration and experience in holistic health. By bridging ancient yoga wisdom with modern physiotherapy science, the work offers a comprehensive approach to health and wellness. The primary objective of Physyog is to transform conventional healing practices by integrating empathy, advanced breathwork techniques, a deep understanding of the autonomic nervous system, and the interplay of biochemistry and biomechanics.
Holistic Approach to Health
The book guides physiotherapists and yoga therapists on a journey from being mere practitioners to becoming true healers. It emphasizes a holistic connection between body and mind, aiming to provide care that not only addresses physical ailments but also nurtures overall well-being. The vision behind Physyog is to merge yoga and physiotherapy for a comprehensive approach to holistic care, combining motion and thoughts.
Authors’ Perspectives
Dr Dhara Shah, co-author of Physyog, highlighted the transformative nature of the book: “Physyog is where movement heals, and breath transforms the subtle layers of our being.” Dr Mansi Bhartiya, the book’s editor, added, “Yoga and Physiotherapy unite, bringing balance and strength to the journey of healing.” Dr Rebekah Martyres, another author, emphasized, “Yog awakens the spirit, heals the body by grounding the mind.”
