What is Integrative Physical Therapy?




The Integrative Physical Therapy is an individual basis type of approach where the main focus goes to the patient and not to the disease.  

Muscular and joint pain, disturbances and imbalances, constant inflammation and postural alterations are among the symptoms of a majority search for intervention at the PT practices.

The Integrative approach of therapy assesses not only the musculoskeletal system but also the patient´s lifestyle, daily stressors, general nutrition, emotional health, exercise routine and many other factors that may be the cause or the aggravation of his or her pain.

During this thorough examination, we are more likely to understand what is the real cause of the patient´s complaints. 

The treatment is custom-based per individual´s needs and  is composed of  a variety of cutting-edge techniques which involves:

  • Manual therapy
  • Craniosacral therapy
  • Microkinesitherapie
  • Postural Analysis and Baropodometry
  • Biomechanical Running analysis
  • Pilates for Rehabilitation and Wellness
  • Core breathing techniques 
  • Heart rate variability assessment and treatment
  • Health coaching by Samadeva Libre University
  • Electrical neuromodulation of the Vagus Nerve and,


Education in some concepts of supplementation and nutrition that will address many areas of his/her life, elevating his sense of well-being and promoting a quality of life as best as possible.

It is well known, for instance, that chronic stress is related to a cascade of serious effects in our body. Higher levels of cortisol increase the activity of the adrenal gland and may cause an increase in body inflammation, muscular pain, and numerous other comorbidities. 
In time, I will be addressing the effects of cortisol in our body and how it relates to PT intervention.


An Integrative approach of therapy that associates mind-body techniques has the purpose to restore balance, promote healing and increase the ability to regain quality of life.
