PHYSICAL THERAPY

Taking a holistic deep dive into how a person moves from head to toe helps uncover deeper layers of dysfunction and past trauma. Movement is medicine – taking an integrative approach delivers more profound care vs. the merry-go-round insurance methods.

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF PHYSICAL THERAPY?

Movement is truly medicine and most people aren’t receiving the right dose. Similar to balancing the ratio of nutrients that you eat throughout the day, physical balance involves creating a proper ratio of various movements. Eating one type of strict diet that excludes or restricts other foods will distort your ration just like moving in one pattern every day will distort your movement ratio. Discovering the spectrum of your body’s ability to move, will allow it to find its core balance much easier.

WHAT IS OUR APPROACH TO PHYSICAL THERAPY?

At Source of Health, we take a diagnostic approach. We must assess your movements and break them down in order to discover the best way to restructure your basic patterns away from compensations. Ensuring you stop doing more of the same will help create movement that is aligned with the whole body’s cellular nature. The parts you move are the parts that change, and so all progress relies on the breakdown and rebuilding of things into new patterns.

BREAKING THE CYCLE OF PAIN

Understanding the cycle of pain is the first step towards achieving relief from trauma. Movement Medicine is a unique and holistic approach to getting patients better faster and longer than traditional Physical Therapy is concerned. ⁣Trauma may be physical or mental/emotional or spiritual. Treating the original injury may or may not be the first thing on the priority list. The cycle of pain is broken down as follows:

Trauma is defined as a memorable event that negatively impacts your well-being. Remember that not all who have had a trauma are traumatized.
Next is the dysfunction that occurs after a dramatic experience while the body attempts to heal. The initial healing process is typically thwarted by over-the-counter medications and quick-fix treatments which prevent the body from healing completely.
The body then compensates for the injury with traits such as a limp or avoiding situations that cause pain (i.e., taking the elevator instead of the stairs).
Accelerated Tissue Damage then takes place and is not treated well by traditional means. Gadgets and pills, followed by surgical interventions are suggested as treatment, whereas regenerative medicine seeks to rebuild the damaged tissue.
Finally, a series of preventable injuries occur in a snowball effect that could have been prevented by being Rooted in MVMNT, and working to rebuild tissues.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How is Movement Medicine different from regular physical therapy?

Movement is complex. It can’t be distilled down to a single muscle exercise. The biopsychosocial components of the way we live in our bodies differs greatly from person to person. Spending time to dive deep and get to know how a patient behaves and feels in their own body is crucial.

Is it covered by insurance?

Regular physical therapy is billed by insurance companies in 8 minute increments. Because of this dogma, it leaves therapists unable to truly provide the best quality of care, similar to most primary care medicine in the U.S.

How many visits are needed?

Due to the power in movement and efficacy in how the body adapts positively to specifically applied stresses, follow up visits are only needed on a once a week or once every two weeks basis. Typically 2-6 office visits are needed over the course of 90 days. From there, video check-ins at least twice a year ensure long-term success.
