Читать книгу Yoga Therapy as a Whole-Person Approach to Health - Lee Majewski - Страница 56

Yoga therapy must never be limited to a mere treatment of an externalized diagnosis or to symptoms. Hence, it is imperative we have tools to “tailor make” individualized protocols or modules, that take into account a thorough search for the “root cause” of the disease and then try to find a way out of it with awareness.

It is also important that an attempt be made to help the client understand and accept the root cause of their problem and further familiarize themselves with factors causing, aggravating, or mitigating it. Self-awareness of the client is often the only way to prevent worsening of the condition and its relapse, and to facilitate self-reliant conscious measures towards the adoption of a healthier lifestyle by the client.

Of course, the inference drawn from such a detailed yogic analysis can assist us in forming a baseline for pre-treatment and post-treatment comparisons. This also acts as a reference to assess progress in therapy at various points of time in order to make modifications or advancements accordingly.
