A growing emphasis on mind-body wellness has elevated the role of holistic and complementary therapies in rehabilitation, offering integrative approaches to physical recovery. Techniques such as acupuncture, yoga therapy, and mindfulness-based stress reduction are being incorporated into rehabilitation programs to enhance pain relief, neuromuscular function, and emotional well-being. Herbal medicine and nutritional therapy contribute to inflammation control and tissue repair, while music and art therapy aid cognitive and emotional recovery. Additionally, manual therapies, including chiropractic adjustments and osteopathy, are improving mobility and structural alignment. By merging traditional rehabilitation methods with complementary practices, individuals receive a comprehensive approach that addresses physical, psychological, and physiological healing.
