What does "Holistic Physiotherapy" really mean?
(Hint: It's Not Airy-Fairy)
When people hear the word holistic, they often think of crystals and incense before they think of clinical results. But here at Movement Solutions, we want to shift that perception. Because true holistic physiotherapy is not vague, fluffy, or “woo”—it's strategic, intelligent, and deeply effective.
As physiotherapists, we’re trained to assess movement patterns, posture, load tolerance, and physical dysfunction. But in holistic practice, we also look beyond the biomechanics to explore what your body might be protecting, suppressing, or trying to communicate.
We ask:
What stress or belief might be shaping this posture?
How does this movement habit reflect a nervous system in survival mode?
Where is the body asking for change—not just physically, but emotionally?
This blog post below, written by one of our brilliant team members - Chloe Black - Kinesiologist and Mind Body Practitioner - beautifully captures what holistic care looks like in action. Her case study is a powerful example of how symptoms are messengers, and how getting curious (not just clinical) can uncover the real root of pain.
