Holistic physiotherapy looks at the whole body for the source of the pain.  A pain may have a totally physical component or be more complex, affected by the mental state of a person. A headache, for example, may be due to an imbalance in the skull, neck, or upper back.  Through the use of body scans the source of the imbalance can be located.  Once treated the headache resolves.  The headache may also be caused by the effects of stress from a variety of causes.  The physiotherapist may need to help the client identify the stressors and teach some stress management strategies such as learning to relax, etc.
