POWER: MARRY YOUR HEALTH JOURNEY
I believe that we (unintentionally) overlook our health journey to claim it as a “checkmark” rather than a continual pathway
It’s too often that we dismiss the little signs or signals — just to place them on the “I’ll get to it later” list
Yet, once the bigger sirens grab our full attention, we switch to the “helter-skelter response” mode

-
-

💍 MARRY YOUR HEALTH JOURNEY 💍

Those little signals of stress will eventually add up over time
But, take action now to address it now
Don’t react later until the bigger sirens play
It’s time to commit to yourself & prove to yourself that your health is the most important thing you can tend to on the daily
Your future self will thank you for the now self if you solidify the MARRIAGE OF YOUR HEALTH now

THE HOME EXERCISE PROGRAM — CHOICES MATTER
After a physiotherapy (PT) session, there should be a smooth flow into a carryover upon the next successive visit
The home exercise program (HEP) is the key to bridging each session together

-
-

🔑 THE HEP — CHOICES MATTER 🔑

Pending how the patient responded within the current PT session, exercise choice selection must be specific to that session
When choosing appropriate exercises / movements, patient response depends on:

- How irritated the tissue or area is
- How much the patient can tolerate with loading
- How the patient responds to the HEP 24-hours later

Swipe left for an example HEP I have made for a patient with left shoulder/biceps issues

GO AGAINST THE TRADITIONAL MODEL
The current healthcare model is not sufficient
Big companies & / or private investors want to dictate your healthcare response to medical issues
But, they have no idea what it takes to care for people; yet, alone, prevent individuals from entering the medical system in the first place

-
-

🚮 GO AGAINST THE TRADITIONAL MODEL 🚮

Physiotherapy (PT) is a direct line-of-care to prevent one from entering the medical system
The traditional model was dictated from 3rd parties that told patients when / if PT was necessary based on their “diagnosis” & return to “functional levels”
Thus making PT appear to be just a “stepping stone” within the traditional care model

-
-

PT is more…now
PT IS GOING AGAINST THE TRADITIONAL MODEL
PT is your direct line-of-care to stay away from the traditional medical model
PT raises your baselines to a higher, new starting point
PT is the stone & not a step anymore
Let’s make PT a part of your healthcare plan now
It’s time to gather your stones to build a better base

POWER: PREPARE FOR THE ARRIVAL
We will all face it at some point or another
Sickness, disease, injury, training setbacks, etc.
There are so many unknowns out there we are (unfortunately) very under-prepared for
But, I’m here to tell you that we can change that future trajectory

-
-

🧱 PREPARE FOR THE ARRIVAL 🧱

Strength, endurance, power, flexibility, balance, speed, etc
All encompass to building a better, physical self
But, nutrition is the upmost common denominator to enhancing our future self
It takes practice, patience & commitment to figure out how our bodies process / produce the outcomes we are looking for
But, we need proper nutrition input alongside with physical capacity output
Take the step now to PREPARE FOR THE ARRIVAL
