APTA's Guide 3.0, including the Patient/Client Management Model, the most relevant Healthy People Leading Health Indicators, and philosophies of wellness gurus have been integrated to create a Model of Holistic Physical Therapy. Research supporting traditional medicines (i.e., tai chi, cupping, acupressure, etc.) and 'forward thinking' concepts such as plant-based nutrition are explored and applied to the provision of physical therapy. Topics also include 'self medications' such tobacco and how to contribute to cessation, mental illness co-morbidities, gender identity, women's wellness, African-American wellness, self-wellness of physical therapists, and more! Tools to screen and facilitate wellness (i.e.., stages of change, motivational education, etc.) are examined and practiced. An entire chapter is dedicated to holistic physical therapy case scenarios, and can be used for small group assignments. The final chapter focuses on community wellness, including the creation of a community wellness project. Woven throughout the textbook are case scenarios, images of mock patients, and lots of color to engage the reader and enhance the learning experience.
