Psychosomatic physiotherapy, a not so familiar term for my specialization in physiotherapy. A specialization that focuses on the link between body (soma) and soul (psyche). The connection means that the body has an effect on the mind and conversely, the mind also affects the body. So it may be that when a lot of stress is experienced an increase in e.g. headache or abdominal discomfort can be felt. In these complaints often an imbalance is involved: the "load" is higher than your body or your mind are able to handle.Re-balancing or creating a new balance can be the goal of the therapy. Getting more insight into the origins and consequences of your complaint can support that. As psychosomatic physical therapist I focus on the physical complaints (e.g. reduction of muscle tension) and the mental part of the complaint (e.g. a different way of dealing with stress) by increasing the possibility to load your body again based on an increased body awareness.Learning to recognize and acknowledge your boundaries and learning how to handle your problems can be part of the treatment.
