OPTP announces the publication of Integrative and Lifestyle Medicine in Physical Therapy: A guide for primary care, health promotion, and disease prevention. Written by global leaders in education, research, and clinical practice, this evidence-based text shows physical therapists how to use a biopsychosocial, systems-based, integrative approach to physical therapy practice.
This comprehensive text delves into the six pillars of integrative and lifestyle medicine including stress management and mindfulness training; physical activity across the lifespan; diet and nutrition; sleep and relaxation; tobacco cessation, substance abuse, and recovery; and environmental influences on health. In addition, the book covers topics that will allow healthcare practitioners to address whole-person health for the successful treatment of pain and illness, and the promotion of health for all populations.
