In this segment, a neuro‑rehabilitation practitioner explains that individuals who have suffered strokes, brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, or other complex medical events experience sudden trauma that disrupts their sense of normalcy. The practitioner emphasizes that yoga serves as a powerful modality to help these patients reconnect with their bodies and cultivate acceptance of their new reality. This personal conviction has led the practitioner to incorporate yoga into their physical therapy practice as a complementary approach to traditional neuro‑rehab techniques.

I specialize in neuro rehab. So anybody who's had a stroke or brain injury, spinal cord injury, or kind of a complicated medical history. And so these people have been traumatized because nobody, you know, they're, they're normal going about their day. And then all of a sudden something happens and yoga is so powerful for helping reconnect with what's happening and find acceptance. So that's where I was really drawn to, to the yoga practice in my own physical therapy practice.
