EP 37: There's not just one way to heal


Listen Later

Today, we're diving into a topic that's close to my heart: the myth that there is only one path to healing. As a physical therapist who specializes in concussions, I've seen too often how detrimental it can be when patients are told, "This is as good as it gets." Let's explore why this mindset needs to change and how embracing a holistic, multi-faceted approach can make all the difference in your recovery journey.

Being told that your current state is your "new normal" can feel like a punch to the gut. It can sap your motivation, make you feel hopeless, and ultimately halt your progress. The truth is, healing is not linear and often requires exploring various methods and therapies. As clinicians, it's our duty to support this journey, not limit it.
