ConnectTherapyâ„¢ is a rigorous 'whole person' approach within which we work at Brightside Physio. It was created by international physiotherapist, researcher and lecturer Dr Linda-Joy Lee (web link here) based in Vancouver, Canada.
The approach draws on research from multiple fields that highlight the many influences on how people move; their habits for movement, how they feel, their symptoms and experience of their body. We take into account the influence of your unique biology (strength, movement habits, biomechanics, injury history), psychology (beliefs, feelings, trauma) and social and environmental factors impacting your quality of movement.
We have ways to organize all the information gathered in order to determine the most relevant influences to address in treatment. This creates a really efficient way to design a treatment program that 'Targets the cause and Trains the change' in a way that lasts, resulting in great movement variety, strength and confidence. At Brightside Physio we're not into 'trial and error' or 'one size fits all' exercise prescription.
