A recent study by Marshall et al. showed that a 3 month yoga program compared to a 3 month physiotherapy program had a similar results in regards to self efficacy (an individual's belief in their capacity) which was maintained when reassessed 52 weeks later. There was also a decrease in catastrophising and improvement in pain and function - meaning that whether yoga or physiotherapy there were positive results for both!
This study is exciting as it supports the possibility that both community movement classes (in this case yoga) and individualised physiotherapy interventions have the capacity to improve self efficacy for pain and help people sustain this improvement over time. From a low income standpoint where physiotherapy can have barriers to access then participating in a community class can have a similar impact on self efficacy, pain and function. So what does this mean? Essentially whichever option you choose, you can find good results! Our physiotherapists understand that treatment doesn't happen in isolation, and are happy to support your choice of movement in order to maximise the results you can find in getting treatment.

My ex-husband and I had always managed to stay friendly after our divorce in February 2017. But I always wanted to get back together with him, All it took was a visit to this spell casters website last December, because my dream was to start a new year with my husband, and live happily with him.. This spell caster requested a specific love spell for me and my husband, and I accepted it. And this powerful spell caster began to work his magic. And 48 hours after this spell caster worked for me, my husband called me back for us to be together again, and he was remorseful for all his wrong deeds. My spell is working because guess what: My “husband” is back and we are making preparations on how to go to court and withdraw our divorce papers ASAP. This is nothing short of a miracle. Thank you Dr Emu for your powerful spells. Words are not enough. Leave a Reply. |
