5 Things I Will Never Do as a Health Care Provider

  1. Shame you for not doing a home exercise program.

    It's my job to find out WHY a program isn't working, not shame you for being busy, confused, or uninterested in a specific exercise.

  2. Pressure you to rebook.

    Maybe you feel confident about completing your homecare. Maybe your life is just really busy. Maybe your extended health care benefits suck. Maybe you have another RMT that you prefer to see.

  3. Criticize your posture.

    I don't care HOW you sit or stand I care how LONG you sit or stand. Seriously, this probably needs its own separate post.

  4. Reduce your pain to a single cause.

    Bodies are complicated. Movement patterns are complicated. There is more than one way out of a painful situation. And if there was one answer out there, trust me, one of us would have found it already.

  5. Yuck your yum.

    You should be living your life. The goal of all health care should be to get you back to the things you want to do. My job is to help you find ways to enjoy your life at all stages of recovery.
