Yoga & Occupational Therapy
from Live Better Longer
Continuing our celebration of Occupational Therapy Month, this week we chat with FOX Rehabilitation's Cristina Klymasz, MS, OTR/L, CBIS, RYT, CLT-LANA, MSCS, who talks about incorporating yoga into her occupational therapy sessions. Cristina details how a team morale event at a yoga studio made her realize how much it could benefit her patients. Being the go-getter she is, Cristina got her yoga license—not with dreams of opening her studio—but with the main intent of helping her patients. Cristina admits some patients are skeptical when the concept of yoga is brought up. Still, the results are turning doubters into believers, especially with its numerous benefits, including helping patients with their balance. Cristina also discusses how she will be spending Occupational Therapy Month and what kind of personality generally gravitates to being an OT.
