Zoom out in order to zoom in

The reductionist viewpoint has always made life seem simpler, but what happens when it doesn’t ?⁣

⁣If we over simplify it can often lead to a diagnosis to a pain, however maybe doesn’t give the reasons why …⁣

⁣A common example I often use is one of a car.⁣

⁣‘If your car engine blows, you replace it because it 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘀 𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲, but then the engine blows again, ⁣

⁣𝗨𝗻𝗹𝘂𝗰𝗸𝘆 𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 ? Okay so you get a third engine, sh*t that one’s gone too.⁣

⁣So you look to see what’s 𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝘄… 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘥 𝘢 𝘱𝘰𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘰 𝘶𝘱 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘹𝘩𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘵 🤦🏼‍♂️. ⁣

⁣So you take the potato out, and the engine works like a dream. ⁣

We need to find your potato 🥔’ ⁣

So if we zoom straight with 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘁 𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗻 in the local tissue, tendon, joint might be where is being overloaded, but going back to the car analogy … ⁣

⁣𝗠𝗮𝘆𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗹𝘃𝗶𝘀 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻𝘁 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻 𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗳𝗮𝗹𝗹 , on an ankle is stiff and the knee is doing all the work ⁣

⁣That’s why we need a bit of both, ⁣

⁣At the end of the day the car needs an engine - like your body needs it’s parts to work⁣

⁣𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝘆𝗯𝗲 𝘇𝗼𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘄𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗲𝗹𝘀𝗲 𝗶𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘁’𝘀 𝗷𝗼𝗯 𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝗲𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 and we find the leak in the system. ⁣

⁣That’s where global assessments for movement are so powerful, we see how someone moves as a whole person ⁣

⁣Then that allows us to zoom in again to what we need to influence. ⁣

⁣So if you have pain somewhere in the body and the direct treatment isn’t working ⁣
