5 Things I Would Tell My Patients
- Stay ON the Grid! Our bones are aligned structurally along grid lines like scaffolding. If you shift off this scaffolding your posture will suffer and your muscles (muscles are what hold up the bones) will become unbalanced. The result? Pain; and incomplete resolution of injuries.
- Muscles (and the body) work together like an orchestra. Nothing functions in isolation. Comprehensive treatment acknowledges the intricate symphony of muscles that move and support our body.
- Look after small injuries. Compensations made from improperly resolved past problems will become ‘THE injury’ later on.
- Educate your body on the so called “Core”. Our ‘core’ is designed in layers. Training only the outer layer (as is the usual) leaves the inner layers confused and unchanged. The ‘inner core’ or your ‘Centre’ is the hidden secret.
- At least 75% of the value in the time I spend with patients is in the ‘take-home’; the education and the follow–up training drills assigned (assisted by the Embodia app!). Good value; that you can keep!
- Treatment is a partnership and an investment from both sides. Take note of the 5 points above and importantly, complete the treatment. Do not ‘under-treat’ or let insurance coverage decide this for you. Take charge and capitalize on your investment.
