The Five Pillars
Our Integrative Rheumatology Approach
At MIRW, your plan is individualized with these five pillars at the core, always alongside evidence-based Rheumatology.
-
We use breathwork and meditation to help you regulate your nervous system and address the pain, fatigue, and disrupted sleep that so often come with rheumatic disease.
-
Food impacts how your whole body works, and there is no single way of eating that fits everyone. We give nutrition the attention it deserves, working with you on changes that fit your life and your disease.
-
The evidence for movement is stronger than for anything else we do outside of medication. We work with what your body can do, from yoga, tai chi, and qigong to strength training and walking.
-
Medication is rarely the whole answer for pain. We draw on hands-on therapies with evidence behind them, from acupuncture and massage to heat and cold.
-
This practice is built for connection, with space for groups and shared learning. We create room for you to be truly seen and heard as a whole person, not a diagnosis.
