Yoga Therapy offers a holistic path to better health by addressing the body, mind, and emotions in an integrated way. Unlike general yoga classes, yoga therapy is tailored to individual needs. Whether you’re dealing with chronic pain, recovering from injury, or managing stress or anxiety, yoga therapy will help you feel relaxed, renewed and rejuvenated. Through personalized movement, breathwork, and meditation, it supports healing from the inside out. This gentle, mindful approach makes it accessible to people of all ages and fitness levels, including those who may feel hesitant about starting a physical practice.

One of the most immediate benefits people notice is reduced stress and a greater sense of calm. Through techniques such as controlled breathing and guided relaxation, yoga therapy activates the parasympathetic nervous system, the “rest and digest” mode that helps your body recover and restore itself. This can lead to better sleep, lower blood pressure, and improved mood. Over time, regular practice can help rewire your stress response, making it easier to stay grounded even during challenging situations.

Yoga therapy is particularly effective for those managing arthritis, back pain, or recovery from surgery, as it focuses on alignment, gentle movement, and pain reduction. This mindful movement not only reduces discomfort but also promotes body awareness, which is key to preventing future injury.

You’ll also benefit from emotional resilience. By connecting breath, movement, and awareness, yoga therapy helps you process emotions that may be stored in the body, such as tension in the shoulders from worry or tightness in the chest from grief. This emotional release can be profoundly healing, offering a sense of clarity, empowerment, and self-compassion. Many people find that it complements other forms of therapy by offering a safe, embodied way to work through inner challenges.

You don’t need to be flexible, fit, or familiar with yoga. All you need is the willingness to listen to your body and take that first step toward healing. Whether you’re seeking relief from a specific condition or simply want to feel more balanced and energized in your daily life, yoga therapy offers tools you can carry with you for a lifetime.

What our clients are saying
  • "‘I've been a patient of Dr. Kelsick for the past 10 years, and Dr. Rite for the past 4, and the two are truly amazing at what they do! Although their titles are Chiropractors, they both have such a wide base of knowledge and understanding of the body, that I often feel as if our sessions are a combination of chiropractic, physiotherapy, massage therapy, and occasionally even nutrition. As such, when I see them, I know I am being taken care off. As an athlete, and simply an injury prone individual, they have both truly made a difference in how my body functions. I definitely recommend =).’ "
    Sabrina Nettey
  • "‘Dr. Kelsick and his team are truly amazing. They’ve been putting me back together and keeping me moving for more than 15 years and now take care of my whole extended family, from my 86-year-old mom to my teenage daughters. Dr. Kelsick goes the extra mile to understand exactly what is going on with your body in order to provide the very best solutions. No problem is too complex or challenging. Think Dr. House with a far better bedside manner!’ "
    Peggi Peacock
  • "‘As an athlete my goal is to have a fit and healthy body, and Maxfit Movement Institute helps me maintain this goal. The team of Doctors are truly gifted, and their positive outlook on life is amazing. Thank you for making a difference in my life.’"
    L Murphy
  • "‘The difference with the staff at MaxFit, especially Randy and Wilbour: they take the time to assess and determine the source of your aches or pains. Not only do they treat whatever it is, they explain how to avoid it happening again. I have tried many physio-therapists but none of them come close to MaxFit. Highly recommended. ‘"
