The philosophy of Integrative Physical Therapy is firmly built on the belief that Your Body works In Perfect Unison when in balance… with all its inner systems working as a whole. These systems are interwoven by fascial networks surrounding and connecting structures like muscles, joints, nerves, arteries, and viscera (organs).
Residual scar tissue build-up from old injuries, surgeries, trauma and repetitive motions (i.e., work, driving, sports) disrupt the balance of your body’s fascial networks and can have a destructive effect on different parts of the body.

This Whole Body Approach
When a new injury occurs or an old injury resurfaces, it can cause an interruption of smooth function in that structure, which may create an unhealthy domino effect on the other structures of our body. Thus, for the most effective healing treatments it is important to assess any injury from a “Whole Body” point of view.
This Whole Body approach allows us to discover and treat the involved structures necessary to help the body heal and restore its inner equilibrium. This is where the combination of regenerative medicine and physical therapy is an optimal approach.
