Revolutionizing Physical Therapy: Integrating Mind-Body Medicine and the Biopsychosocial Model

Jun 19, 2023
47:15

Are you ready to revolutionize your approach to physical therapy? Join us for an eye-opening discussion with Matt Erb, a leading practitioner in mind-body medicine, as we explore the powerful potential of integrating mind-body principles in physical therapy practice. Discover how addressing the biopsychosocial model can contribute to positive shifts in human health, and learn about the challenges of separating biological treatments from psychosocial domains.

Through our conversation, we delve into the importance of whole person care in physical therapy, discussing the need for time, comfort, training, mentoring, and coding to truly engage in this type of care. Matt shares his thoughts on using open-ended questioning to give people permission to share and uncover their own answers, and he offers insights on how this is a form of neuromuscular reeducation and its potential in shifting bodily tone and regulating heart rate variability. 

We also examine the crucial role of self-application and embodiment of mind-body principles, and discuss barriers to providing transformative care. As we emphasize the importance of staying within the scope of practice while still supporting patients, you'll gain valuable perspectives on maintaining professional boundaries and providing life-changing experiences. Don't miss this enlightening conversation packed with valuable insights on expanding the scope of physical therapy to address both mind and body.
