Based on the idea that the mind and body are connected, our wellness offerings rely on mindful techniques to create harmony between mind and body to reduce the negative effects of stress.
Instead of high-impact workouts, mind and body wellness coaching promotes peace of mind through physical movement, breathing, healthy sleep habits, and mindfulness tools to help you live a happier, healthier life.
Patients who are referred to CHKD’s mind and body wellness program for coaching will meet individually with sports medicine physician Dr. Joel Brenner, an experienced mind and body wellness coach to determine the best course of treatment.
Our Mind and Body Wellness Program includes:
Make mental wellness a regular part of your warmup routine. Exercising the mind is as important as exercising the body.
