If you’ve been to our practice before, you’ve probably heard us talk about the importance and power of mindful movement. That’s because, from a holistic standpoint, opening a line of communication and understanding between body and mind is good for the whole person.

We talk a lot about the mind-body connection here at Holistic Physiotherapy & Wellness. For anyone who needs a refresher, the mind-body connection is a link between your mental health (thoughts, behaviors, and attitudes) and your physical health. It strives to explain the many ways in which our emotions impact our health and well-being, and vice versa.

We all want to be healthy. But how, exactly, does one define health? That depends on who you ask.

If you ask Pfizer, “Wellness is the act of practicing healthy habits on a daily basis to attain better physical and mental health outcomes, so that instead of just surviving, you're thriving. To understand the significance of wellness, it's important to understand how it's linked to health.”
