The physiotherapy as interdisciplinary subject of health restoration having several merits to restore vegetative component of brain-body functions, however, physiotherapy approach lacks internalized mind-body awareness, a component essential to restore auto regulation of mind-body co-ordination. The study proposes Patanjali School of Yoga, ancient traditional Indian science address psycho-somatic aspects of brain behavior (psyche) function, while hatha yoga school of swatmaram renders experiential aspect of systematic relaxation from somatic (body) to psychic (mind) plane. The cumulative effects both schools of yoga develops psychobiological basis twoway five step human information processing (HIP) pathway to address somatic (body) and cortical awareness, as virtue of â??a prioriâ? information nature of yogic instructions processed on control and automatic modes of attention functions. The past scientific yoga research reports on psycho-physiological and neuropsychological front reveals decreased metabolic energy expenditure, psycho-neuro-immunological modulation via neuroendocirne and hypothalamic â??pituitary axis, being monitored and modulated by electro-cortical activity triggered by breath awareness. The yogic HIP effects enhance cell-cell communication through increased signal power, for better affective and cognitive homeostasis. The unique nature of yogic HIP based relaxation response is based on operationally defined two step post-detection closure (PDC) HIP involving â??Detectionâ? and â??Rejectionâ? stages perceived somatic activity. Further, attains neutral state of attention within perceptual channel assigned to neural space. The study concludes that incorporating yoga training to physiotherapy patients develops whole body monitoring response due breath and body awareness for faster recovery.
