A CHEK WAY TO LOOK AT REHABILITATION!
One of the current problems in the field of rehabilitation is the isolation approach that is used by most therapists. If someone injures a knee, the doctor works on the knee. Instead they should determine if there is an imbalance elsewhere in the body that led to the injury to the knee.
Isolation = Specialization
Each piece of the body fits together neurologically, chemically, mentally and physically. Today there are specialists for all the separate parts of the body. As we have become overly specialized, we have lost sight on what really makes people better.
The Orthopedic dilemma
The body is like a bicycle wheel. Imbalances in the muscles around the spine leads to abnormal stress on the spine.
SPOKES = CORE & MUSCLES
RIM = SPINE.
If a bicycle wheel is out of alignment, you need to tighten the loose spokes and loosen the tight ones. The same is true with the body, you need to tighten (strengthen) the loose muscles and loosen (stretch) the tight ones. Another good analogy is that of a suspension bridge with cracks. If you just weld the crack, but don’t analyze the balance of the structure, cracks will keep occurring. When you “treat the body, you need to assess the structure before you load it to prevent future breakdown.
