Hard to Swallow Pills

Literally everyday I have to help people "unlearn" much of what they've been told by other "professionals" or read/watched online

I hate that it's this way, but unfortunately a huge part of the problem of living in this "information" age is that literally anyone can spew theory as fact or consistently preach outdated thoughts/beliefs, many of which can actually keep the learner (you guys!) from actually improving or understanding things better...
..and in some cases hold you back from actually getting better due to the harmful beliefs or fears that are produced as a result

Much of this poor information has actually been disproven, but a lot of it just doesn't have enough scientific research available to hold strong opinions or beliefs about

I can't go into all of this in one short social media post, but here are a few examples you might have heard or been affected by before:

- You should never let your spine round if you have a herniated disc

- It's bad for your knees to pass your toes when you squat

- If you have "poor" posture, you will develop pain

- If you have a rotator cuff tear, you need surgery or else it won't get better

- You shouldn't let your knees bend more than 90 degrees when you squat

- If you don't move with perfect form/technique, you will get injured

- You have a lot of "wear and tear" in your body, so you'll have to live with your pain

- Hearing crunching/popping/cracking in your joints means you have arthritis (or worsening arthritis)

- You shouldn't allow your spine to round when you lift things off of the ground

- Sitting is bad for you

Again, these are just a FEW examples, but the fact that it only took me about 30 seconds to think of all of these off the top of my head further highlights the problem

I (and many others in the field of musculoskeletal health) will continue to try our best to help dispel these myths/poor information to give our patients/clients the best and most up to date information that we can

And, as the science/data changes, we will have to accept that we must change our own beliefs and opinions over time as well

We won't always have all the answers, nor should we pretend to!

People often get told their pain is down to a single muscle being “weak,” “tight,” or “not firing.” Once that seed is planted, they spend years obsessing over it—stretching, strengthening, or releasing that one area—when in reality, the body doesn’t work like that. No muscle operates in isolation. Movements and symptoms are the result of multiple joints, muscles, and the nervous system working together.

Fixating on one muscle also gives people the illusion of control: “If I just fix this one thing, I’ll be fine.” But what usually happens is frustration, because despite all the work they put in, nothing changes. That’s often because the problem wasn’t about that one muscle in the first place. Pain is complex, and most of the time it has more to do with sensitivity in the nervous system and how the body perceives threat than with one “bad” muscle misbehaving.

A more helpful approach is to look at overall movement, build tolerance gradually, and get the nervous system comfortable with variety. That’s when people start to feel freer, rather than stuck chasing after one supposed culprit that was never really the issue.

Role of manual therapy is convincing the nervous system that the affected area is no longer under threat. Manual therapy does not break up scar tissue, release knots, realign joints, change structure. It can reduce pain which is 😎👍🏾

Stop 🚫 with the BS!!
