Yoga Therapy
Yoga is an ancient practice that can be used for healing the body. Our licensed physical therapists are also certified yoga instructors. Alison Aiken PT, Andrea Trombley PT and Janet Carscadden PT offer custom yoga therapy programs to heal your muscle or joint pain. A yoga therapy session integrates eastern practices such as breath work, meditation, alignment-based therapeutic yoga sequences, and guided relaxation with a western medicine understanding of anatomy, pathology and evidence based treatment practices. Each therapy session begins with an hour long consultation which includes evaluation of your injury, explanation of the therapy diagnosis and treatment plan. During a 45-60 minute treatment session a home yoga program will be developed to address your injury and heal your body. Treatments may include manual therapy to release joint or muscle restrictions to movement, targeted yoga-based stretching to reduce muscle imbalances, breath work, meditation and guided relaxation to improve muscle function and sleeping patterns. When integrated into a physical therapy program, yoga therapy is covered by insurance.
We offer early and late appointments and take most major insurance plans (Blue Cross Blue Shield, Great West, Cigna, MVP, FAHC Apex, CHP (UVM student Insurance), and medicare). If we are not a network provider for your plan, therapy may still be covered by insurance. Check to see if you have an out of network benefit on your plan. Please call our office at 802-864-9642 to find out if your plan covers physical therapy.
