“Rehab is training in the presence of an injury”
“You’re not injured, you’re 85% healthy”
Rehab has gotten very passive
Meet them where they’re at with graded exposure and empower them to move actively
Where is the line between a medical professional and a trainer? Unexplained pain.
Article: STOP WORRYING, AND START LIVING.
90% of people between 50-55 years old have age related changes in their spine (but 9/10 people don’t have back pain).
48% of people between 20-22 years old have age related changes in a disc, while 25% had a bulge (so there goes that “just getting old” analogy).
77% of healthy, pain-free hockey players have hip abnormalities shown on imaging.
20% of healthy, pain-free adults have partial rotator cuff tears.
“Need to clinically correlate” Findings on images need to line up with what you find with their movement.
You won’t lose clients for making referrals!
What is your virtual therapy process like?
Bad personal experiences
Trust - Connection - Relationship - Human
Client education examples: Explain Pain / Why do I hurt?
Is there a world where you can treat 5 or 6 people at a time and do it right and do it well? Does it all come down to the environment, community, and relationships? This is where the coupling of Rehab & Strength Training would be incredibly important
Book of the Week:
Kevin - The Quadrant System: Navigating Stress in Team Sport by Daniel Bove
Brendon - Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game by Michael Lewis
Megan - Transcend: The New Science of Self-Actualization Scott Barry Kaufman
