MINDFULNESS TRAINING

“It’s about living your life as if it really mattered, moment to moment to moment to moment.”
– Jon Kabat-Zinn

WHAT IS MINDFULNESS TRAINING?

Mindfulness training is a practice that takes you from the usual mode of automatic pilot and brings you into greater awareness of the present state. It involves paying attention in a specific way to help you see clearly what is happening in your life. It allows us to be more fully present in all areas of our lives.

Many of us live our lives in a state of automatic pilot. Our minds are caught up in past events or in anticipation of future events. We fail to notice the things around us, or what our bodies are telling us.

The research on mindfulness and its positive effects on our lives continues to grow. Since the late 1970s, there have been over 1,000 publications reporting the effectiveness of mindfulness in managing a variety of disorders, including conditions like chronic pain, stress, heart disease, anxiety, sleep disorders and depression.

Cultivating mindfulness can lead to a sense of calmness, clarity and insight within yourself. It can allow us to be fully awake in each moment. By changing the way we see and respond to the events of our lives, we can dramatically lower our stress and effect our health and well-being.

AN INTEGRATED APPROACH TO HEALTHCARE

At Propel Physiotherapy, we provide group mindfulness training, as well as one-on-one sessions to help clients foster mindfulness practice in their daily lives. Our knowledge of neurological injuries allows us to custom tailor sessions to suit individual needs.

QUESTIONS ABOUT MINDFULNESS?

I had a traumatic brain injury and my progress has been outstanding thanks to the knowledge and encouragement of the staff in the clinic. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming, you can really tell they take pride in their work. I would definitely recommend this location because they produce results!

– Michael 

After a traumatic injury I was referred to Amanda at Propel for physiotherapy. Amanda is amazing and I attribute the progress I have made thus far to her. Through her I’ve also been referred to other services offered at Propel, including massage therapy and pelvic physiotherapy and everyone I have worked with is excellent. The staff at Propel genuinely care about their clients and seek a holistic approach to recovery. I recommend the clinic and their services to everyone I know who is seeking treatment for injuries and pain. Thank you, Propel!

– Chantelle

I was injured severely 4 years ago. I have needed an abundance of Physiotherapy as well as Massage Therapy. This clinic has given me by far the greatest and most successful care and rehabilitation to get back to my life. The staff are extremely knowledgeable in their field and not only treat you as a client but as a friend or family member as well. Propel Physiotherapy is an amazing name for this clinic because it has propelled my recovery! I would recommend this clinic to anyone and everyone.
