Yoga-based therapy has emerged as a transformative approach in physical rehabilitation, effectively bridging ancient practices with contemporary therapeutic techniques. This integrative method emphasizes a holistic healing paradigm, addressing not only physical ailments but also mental and emotional well-being. Research indicates that yoga enhances flexibility, strength, and balance, which are crucial for recovery from musculoskeletal injuries. Furthermore, the practice fosters mindfulness and stress reduction, significantly impacting pain perception and recovery outcomes. By incorporating yoga into rehabilitation programs, clinicians can tailor interventions to individual needs, promoting a deeper mind-body connection that aids in the healing process. The synergy between yoga and physical therapy exemplifies a comprehensive approach to rehabilitation, where traditional wisdom meets modern science. This collaboration not only accelerates physical recovery but also nurtures emotional resilience, making it an invaluable component of holistic health strategies
