Specializing in chronic pain, injury, and illness rehabilitation & prevention
About the Center
Bozeman Center for the Healing Arts, Inc. was founded in 1997 by Paola Feher. The Center specializes in injury and illness rehabilitation, prevention, and relief of long-term and unresolved cases.
​
The Center uses three modalities used to achieve health and wellness for individuals:
-
Therapeutic Consultations begin with a detailed intake of your particular injury, illness, or chronic pain situation. Depending on the modality best suited for you, assessment will be conducted via: movement therapy, massage, biomechanics, or Ayurvedic evaluation or any combination therein, depending on the needs of each person.
-
Biomechanics may include movement therapy, massage, and biomechanic evaluation to optimize patient well-being and address concerns. Using these non-invasive techniques, the Center has had great success in relieving pain quickly and permanently, enabling patients' return to everyday activities.
-
Yoga emphasizes the fundamental importance of breath and the holistic well-being of the individual. Equal focus is placed on alignment, strength, and the intention behind each movement. Instruction is adapted to meet the unique needs of every person with careful consideration given to any illnesses or injuries.
The style of yoga taught at the Center is deeply influenced by the teachings of TKV Desikachar.
In addition, the Center is accredited by the Yoga Alliance to train and certify yoga teachers. All teachers are trained with a strong background in anatomy and in the mechanics of movement.

I cannot thank [Paola] enough for the time [she] took with me while on vacation in Tavarua, Fiji.
Surfing Cloudbreak, I reinjured my back and was in immense pain. I have been blessed over the years to train with U.S. Olympic and NFL coaches and physicians who helped me rebuild my back from a previous injury without surgery.
In our one hour together, you helped me unlock my back and relieve my pain. It is obvious that you have a tremendous knowledge of what you do, as well as a gifted diagnostic mind.
It is most apparent that you truly care about your patients. Thanks for keeping me in the water.
