Integrative physiotherapy is an approach that combines body and mind in the recovery process. It is not limited to treating physical injuries, but also takes into account the emotions and mental state of each person. At KAIRO, we work with this holistic vision so that health is complete and lasting.
What is integrative physiotherapy?
Integrative physiotherapy combines:
Physical techniques → exercises, manual therapy and rehabilitation.
Emotional and mental strategies → relaxation, mindfulness and stress management.
The goal is to achieve a deeper recovery and improve the quality of life.
Why is the mind-body connection important?
Science has shown that emotions influence physical health:
Chronic stress can lead to muscle tension and pain.
Anxiety and depression can cause fatigue, headaches, and digestive problems.
Reducing stress improves both physical and emotional well-being.

Benefits of integrative physiotherapy
1. Reduce stress and pain
With breathing and relaxation techniques, you release tension and achieve mental calm.
2. Improve emotional well-being
Physical activity releases endorphins, which elevate mood and reduce anxiety.
3. More complete and lasting recovery
By addressing body and mind at the same time, the results are more stable and satisfactory.
Most commonly used techniques in integrative physiotherapy
