Therapeutic Yoga is an ancient specialized system of bodily postures and techniques for health and longevity with beneficial physical results. 

For example:

• Busy people use it to manage stress in their hectic lives
• Pregnant women use it to prepare for the birth of their children
• Elite athletes use it to focus themselves toward a high level of performance and to recover from injuries.
• You can use it too!   

Here at Tri-City Physical Therapy / Yoga Center we integrate modern medical training in physical therapy with the ancient practice of Yoga. We balance strength and flexibility, which increases endurance and develops self-awareness through precise movement, posture and breathing exercises.

Yoga is for Everyone

    Therapeutic Yoga is a complete life science. One of the oldest personal development systems in the world. Yoga means "union", a union which encompasses body, mind, and spirit. It is a discipline that leads to increased awareness of the mind/body connection - an increased awareness that also assists in stress management. 

    Our Therapeutic Yoga sessions are designed for everyone. No previous experience is necessary. Therapeutic Yoga is particularly helpful for back care. If you need an evaluation before joining our Yoga Sessions, please call our office and a professionally trained Physical Therapist will perform a comprehensive evaluation.

    Individual Therapeutic Yoga sessions may be covered by medical insurance when prescribed by a Physician or Physical Therapist

Some of the Benefits of Yoga

• Improved Flexibility of muscles joints.
• Posture correction and strengthened spine.
• Improved muscular skeletal conditions such as stiff knees, tight shoulders and neck, swayback and scoliosis.
• Increased blood circulation, improving heart conditions, as well as improved breathing disorders.
• Boosted immune response and decreased cholesterol and blood sugar levels
• Weight loss

Exercising vs. Yoga

    Therapeutic Yoga is a physiological hygiene which is superior to ordinary gymnastics and breathing exercises. Incorrect exercising may reinforce bodily misalignment, as individuals usually exercise improperly, relying on better-developed muscles for strength.

    Therapeutic Yoga, properly taught, encourages weak bodily parts to strengthen and stiff areas to stretch, thereby awakening and realigning the whole body. As the body becomes better aligned, it naturally corrects its deficiencies.
