Authored by global leaders in education, research and clinical practice, this resource provides up-to-date research and best practices on how lifestyle and integrative approaches are used to address the most common chronic health conditions.
This text provides an evidence-based approach to help physical therapists move beyond traditional movement interventions alone, by incorporating a comprehensive integrative and lifestyle medicine approach that addresses whole-person health for the successful treatment of pain and illness, and the promotion of health for all populations.
This is a must-have resource for any physical therapist wanting to obtain the skills and knowledge to treat, manage, and prevent chronic disease. Physicians, occupational therapists, chiropractors, nurses, fitness professionals, psychologists, and social workers can also benefit from the information and approaches detailed in this book.
This evidence-based text shows physical therapists how to use a biopsychosocial, systems-based, integrative approach to physical therapy practice. Written by global leaders in education, research and clinical practice, this guide covers in depth descriptions of the six pillars of lifestyle medicine, and how lifestyle medicine methods can provide positive benefits for different patient groups.
Topics covered in this text include:
Dr. Garner is an active clinician and educator with advanced training in therapeutic yoga, Ayurveda, lumbopelvic ultrasound imaging, pelvic health, Pilates, and functional and lifestyle medicine. She has been a grassroots advocate for health promotion and nontraditional physical therapy practice since the 90s, when her first hybrid practice/yoga studio opened. She founded Living Well Institute in 2001, whose mission is to transform healthcare by offering public classes and professional certification in medical therapeutic yoga, and integrative and lifestyle medicine. Her private practice, Garner Pelvic Health, is in North Carolina. Ginger is an international speaker, published author, and is active in policy creation at the state and federal level.
Dr. Tatta is the founder of the Integrative Pain Science Institute, a cutting-edge health company reinventing pain care through evidence-based treatment, research, and professional development. His career achievements include scalable practice models centered on integrative and whole health approaches in pain management, health behavior change, and methods that empower physical therapists to serve at the top of their scope of practice as primary providers of healthcare. He is a speaker, podcast host, the author of three books, and an adjunct physical therapy professor.
Integrative and Lifestyle Medicine in Physical Therapy is the seminal text on using a bio psychosocial, systems-based, integrative approach to physical therapy practice, bringing together the collective knowledge of 39 leading experts in the field of physical therapy―including editors Dr. Ginger Garner and Dr. Joe Tatta. Chronic disease and pain rates are on the rise globally and are predicted to accelerate, requiring physical therapists to embrace the role of frontline primary care practitioner. This text offers a roadmap to help prepare clinicians to use integrative and lifestyle medicine for disease and pain management, as well as for injury prevention and health promotion. Based on the latest research, the book delves into the influence of genetics, epigenetic, environment, and lifestyle and how they impact individual and population health. It then provides an evidence-based approach to moving beyond traditional movement interventional alone, by incorporating a comprehensive lifestyle medicine approach to care that addresses whole-person health for the successful treatment of pain and the promotion of health for all populations.
