Then head to the Podcasts, where you’ll find selected physiotherapists discussing mindfulness and wellbeing through a strong clinical reasoning lens.
You may also want to explore the Wellbeing Practices section, particularly if you are interested in understanding not only what a practice involves, but the research, thinking and mechanisms that sit behind it.
