What is BPS coaching?
George Engel first introduced the Biopsychosocial Model of Health in 1977 This model serves as a framework for healthcare, taking into account the biological, psychological, and social factors that influence individual's health.
BPS coaching is very helpful for people who suffer with long-term conditions such as low back pain, sciatica, irritable bowel conditions, and fibromyalgia.
Treatment plans vary depending on which area of the model is in dysfunction and could look like a deep tissue massage with focused conversation combined with a walk and talk through nature in alternating treatments.
The Biopsychosocial Model of Health is a comprehensive approach that recognizes health as the product of three interconnected domains:
- Biological factors - including genetics, physical health, and physiological processes
- Psychological factors - including thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and mental health
- Social factors - including relationships, community support, cultural influences, and socioeconomic status
