IG 💥 right here! #Repost @themovementmaestro with @get_repost ・・・ DM # 818: Remember, your patient is not a table. They’re a living, breathing, three dimensional being likely in pain and full of emotion tied to that pain. — The nervous system is always seeking safety. If it doesn’t feel safe, it puts the whole system on high alert. — Yes, physical and mechanical changes do occur when you treat someone. But any time you have any kind of contact with a human, it doesn’t even have to be physical, that nervous system is taking stock. — Did a post earlier in the week about using RockPods for neck pain, and this was the take home message... — When treating, draw on all of your tools, tricks, and techniques and seek to understand how you can best utilize them to make the nervous system feel safe. To change a possibly negative experience that that person is having into one that feels like there’s a light at the end of the tunnel. — A safe nervous system is a happy nervous system. A happy nervous system is a whole lot more likely to give you mobility, movement, and fewer outputs of danger signals...also known as pain. — Get the nervous system to buy into your treatment approach and everybody wins. — Daily Maestroisms dropping whenever the craziness of life allows 🤷🏽‍♂️.

This is perfect. We cannot disparage an entire profession because of a few morons. #Repost @themovementmaestro with @get_repost ・・・ DM #794: @lotsalaughs_09 dropped this in the comments of one of my DMs a few weeks ago, and it was too good to leave there. — First off, abundance, not scarcity🙏🏻. — Less leading with ‘stay in your lane’ and more asking other folks what their lane actually encompasses. — Flip side, understand that a single provider does not define an entire profession - aka, just because you went to one shitty physical therapist doesn’t mean that physical therapy doesn’t work. — Regardless of what clinical approach you subscribe to, understand that it is your ability to connect with that patient that typically ultimately determines your success. Diplomas designate a starting point, not an end. Learn, grow, challenge yourself, and realize that we’re all in this together. — Daily Maestroisms dropping whenever the craziness of life allows 🤷🏽‍♂️. Get yours. Like it? Repost it.

PT and Chiro students need to pay attention to this. We all have a common goal. Working smarter includes working together. #Repost @themovementmaestro with @get_repost ・・・ DM #758: You know how I know this to be true? I talk to chiros. I sit and break 🍞 with them. Legit just had a super eye-opening discussion last weekend with a group of PT and chiro students. Both sides were amazed to hear that the other profession had very similar problems. Here’s some intel: chiros don’t come out with as much business savvy or confidence as we think; PTs don’t have nearly the autonomy that you think 🤯. — So why is this scarcity mindset still even a thing 🤔? We claim to be forward thinking practitioners yet there’s still division like we’re rival high school football teams. Talk. To. Each. Other. — The human body is the most complex organism in the 🌎. Do you actually think that only one school of thought has figured out the absolute best approach for taking care of it 🤦🏽‍♂️? — I cannot speak for every single provider, but for most of us our goal is the same: HELP our patients. We might approach the problems differently but that doesn’t make them wrong and you right. This isn’t religion, people🔥 ⛪. — There is tremendous value to be had in collaboration with fellow clinicians both for you and your patients. Learn from one another. As my good friend @brianna.battles always says, “Collaboration not competition.” — Be smart enough to filter out the bunk and wise enough to be open to new perspectives. Closed minds lead to dead ends in all walks of life. — Daily Maestroisms dropping whenever the craziness of life allows 🤷🏽‍♂️. Get yours. Like it? Repost it. Don't understand it?

Preach 🙌 #Repost @themovementmaestro with @get_repost ・・・ DM #723: When you chase all the rabbits, you go home hungry. — Big picture, little picture, whatever picture you want to be looking at, be ok with focusing your efforts on one thing at a time. No, it’s not a bad idea to have back up plans, side projects, ways that you’re diversifying. Sure. Go get ‘em, tiger. What i’m talking about is trying to do ALL the things at once. Trying to make ALL the things your number one focus and your top priority. — Examples? Sure. Want to gain weight but lean out? Good luck. Physical therapy: got a tricky shoulder AND knee? Focus on the one that’s bothering you the most. Got multiple business ideas? Get the fire burning hot on one and then use those embers to light the next. — Take home: diversify without sacrificing focus. Organize, prioritize, execute...and then move on to the next thing. — Daily Maestroisms dropping whenever the craziness of life allows 🤷🏽‍♂️. Get yours. Like it? Repost it. Don't understand it?

This right here. While the original post here is talking primarily about physical therapy, it applies to acupuncture as well, and just about any aspect of healthcare. Often, “you get what you pay for” holds true. #Repost @themovementmaestro (@get_repost) ・・・ Dm #585: My boy @atxphysicaltherapy always brings the heat. Spitting the truth here. — In a time where healthcare is far from what it needs to be, many providers are opting out of the traditional model and doing their own thing. This new model benefits the patient most above all, but, like all good things, it comes with a price. — I’m speaking primarily for physical therapists here but it can be tremendously frustrating when the first question out of a patient’s mouth is “does insurance cover this?” I get it. I understand why that question is there, but the reality is, that traditional model doesn’t allow us to provide you with the care you need. Asking you to pay for something that has historically been covered by insurance is a hard pill to swallow, but we’re doing it with you, the patient in mind. — Honestly, if you do the math, a few sessions at a higher price but each lasting 2-3x as long as your insurance-reimbursed sessions will save you money and get you better faster. But, that’s a discussion for another day. The point tonight is that we need to start viewing our health as an investment, not an expense. We only get ONE body and how we treat it eventually determines how it treats us. — To that end, you get what you pay for; at least at the bottom end of the spectrum. So stop trusting your health to the lowest bidder. — Daily Maestroisms dropping every night at 7pm-ish PST. Get yours. Like it? Repost it. Don't understand it?

#Truth This is so true. That chronically tight muscle is probably tight because it’s doing the job for another muscle that forgot how to do it’s job; if you don’t strengthen what’s weak, the tight muscle is just going to keep locking up. #Repost @themovementmaestro (@get_repost) ・・・ DM #435: There's a reason that other thing got tight in the first place. --- Been on a stability kick recently so I figured I'd keep the streak going with tonight's DM. The functional fitness world has done an excellent job of bringing the importance of mobility to the forefront as it relates to being able to perform a movement. But as with all things, the pendulum always swings too far before it comes back to center. Now EVERYTHING has become about mobility. What about the other side of that coin? Stability. --- Two sides of the same coin, my friends. Can't have one without the other. Gotta work on both if you want successful, coordinated movement. When we lose mobility at an area, barring prolonged immobilization or direct trauma, we've lost mobility there because we FIRST lost STABILITY somewhere else. That tightness, that stiffness, that loss of mobility is your body's way of gaining stability. 🤔 --- So, go ahead and "release" (not opening that can of worms now) that "tight" tissue, but you MUST then go and stabilize whatever it is that that "tight" tissue was doing the work for. Remember, things just don't get tight for no reason. --- Daily Maestroisms dropping every night at 7pm-ish PST. Get yours. Like it? Repost it. Don't understand it?

The upshot: if stability toward your center is lost, the body will compensate by locking up something farther out on the extremities. #Repost @themovementmaestro (@get_repost) ・・・ Dm #528: You want that distal mobility back? Go get yourself some proximal stability. --- Remember, folks, in the absence of prolonged immobilization or direct trauma, loss of mobility at an area is typically preceded by loss of stability somewhere else. What does this mean? It means that pain and tightness or symptoms not causes. --- Had a course attendee today tell me she has a patient who has had both knees replaced both hips replaced and is working on his shoulders. 🙈 She then proceeded to tell me that his bed mobility is atrocious. Coincidence? I think not. The poor bed mobility (ability to roll, turn, transfer in and out of bed) is not caused by the joint replacements, but rather, the other way around. The poor bed mobility is caused by poor core STABILITY, and that crappy core stability has lead to joint replacements. --- This lack of core stability has been compensated for by locking down of joints. Why? Because the easiest way to provide stability to an areais to take away mobility from somewhere else. Multiply this by years and years, and suddenly you've worn down a joint so much that you need a replacement. That false stability you've provided your system comes at a cost. --- So, I repeat, pain and tightness or symptoms, joint a replacement (barring congenital issues) fix symptoms. You must go back find, fix, and address the cause. Mobility is the apartment, stability is your rent. You can break in, but the only way you're staying there is if you pay up.
