ConnectTherapy™

ConnectTherapy™ is all about helping therapists and patients understand the construct of Connectedness. How different regions and systems of the body are connected. How the body and mind are connected. How therapists and patients are connected. How we as humans are physically, emotionally and socially connected.

Research across multiple fields highlights the multiple influences on how patients move – their strategies for movement – and how they feel – their symptoms and experience of their body. Clinicians need ways to organize information from tests across multiple domains, and determine the most relevant influences to address in treatment. A robust clinical reasoning process that considers the whole person facilitates a more efficient pathway to design treatment programs. 

Created by Dr. Linda-Joy Lee, ConnectTherapy is the evolution of total body assessment and treatment frameworks to understand and treat the whole person. It teaches clinicians how to integrate science and clinical expertise in a functional, outcome-based framework. ConnectTherapy has its roots in LJ’s innovative Thoracic Ring Approach™ and the co-developed Integrated Systems Model (ISM) (Lee LJ & Lee DG 2010).
