Everyone else runs on the opposite assumption, which is that the body is fine until it complains.'.

The athletes I’ve treated over the last twenty-five years aren’t built differently at a neurological level. They just have a professional reason to pay attention early. When your income depends on how your body performs under load, you find out quickly that structure and nervous system function aren’t cosmetic concerns. Everyone else gets the opposite message. Wait for pain, then respond to it. That works reasonably well for acute injury and poorly for anything that develops slowly. You don’t need a contract to be worth maintaining. #nervoussystem #nervoussystemreset #functionalhealth #rootcause #nervoussystemfirst
