Could this be the true answer to tap into our health, wellness & wealth profiles?

.

Perhaps when people sign up for “health [sickness] insurance” that there is a REQUIREMENT for HEALTH INCENTIVES to partake in?

.

Businesses can promote their own “health incentives” with their employees in order to avoid seeking medical interventions

.

Thus, improving health, wellness & wealth statuses!

.

WIN-WIN

Rehabilitation protocols / standards are commonly in place for “post-operative” care

.

HOWEVER…

.

It’s not a practice for patients to partake in during the “preoperative” routine

.

Two (2) reasons I think this is NOT happening:

1.  The patient is unaware that they CAN SEEK out physical therapy prior to their needed surgery

2.  The surgeon DOES NOT EDUCATE the patient that pre-hab can help improve their outcomes in the post-operative phase of recovery [or…prevent the surgery from possibly happening due to pre-hab progress]

.

This is WHY physical therapy rehabilitation standards need to be more clear than ever!

A “heated” topic of discussion (no pun intended)

.

“WAITING” to get sick or hurt (aka fire building) is not “CARING” for your health on the front line

.

If you want to prevent those BIG FIRES…

.

Then you need to learn HOW to WATER them DOWN!

.

It’s time to be more proactive & less reactive when it comes to our health, wellness, recovery & fitness

Do you have more than one physiotherapist in your phone book?

.

If not….YOU SHOULD!

.

“Double-dipping” is a MUST in my book

.

Who says it’s not ok to have a couple of PTs to reach out to for ailments that may pop up here & there during life pursuits?

.

Let me tell you a little story about a patient of mine…

After 4 years of training, I now realize that we don’t train “muscle groups” (i.e. biceps, triceps, chest, back, etc.)

.

However…

.

We should train MOVEMENT PATTERNS [rather than muscle groups]

.

There are 7 common movement patterns that should be incorporated into a rehabilitation & training routine:

If you’re not instilling these patterns into your routine, then you’re missing out on the FULL POTENTIAL that your body can endure for the long-run

Today, I want to share with you 3 common body fat tests & what they entail:

1.  In Body Scan = “Bioelectrical” field assessment

2.  Hydrostatic Test = “Underwater” body fat assessment

3.  DEXA = “Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry”

Not all body fat tests are created equal; however, I do believe that if you choose one to go with, then STICK with that one

.

When repeating a test like this, it’s super important to to literally REPLICATE the testing protocol as exact as possible

.

Some considerations for REPLICATION to emphasize are:

Today I wanted to share with you my experience & recovery tracking to testing COVID + in early May 2022

Some symptoms that I experienced were:

- Swollen neck glands

- Poor sleep

- Significant drop in WHOOP recovery status

- Change in energy

- Altered morning training session

- Took at 2-hour morning nap

- Stuffy nose

Moral of my story = When in doubt, just test yourself & be a good, respectful Samaritan

I fell for it…

I took out STUDENT LOANS to pay for physical therapy school

But…

At the time, my main focus was to knock out PT school & concentrate on my education only

But then the real world hit…

I had no idea how the hell I was going to pay off this huge debt snowball of over $150,000!

Until…

I decided to put my HEAD DOWN & EYES FORWARD focusing all my efforts on becoming DEBT-FREE ASAP!

Using the “Dave Ramsey” baby steps & attending Financial Peace classes

This topic of “financial health” needs to shed some light

I never knew I would experience something like this early in my life at the age of 23

But I have found it is MORE IMPORTANT to know your “financial health” with CLARITY

Especially when it comes to unexpected health events

Hear me out on my personal experience during my father’s battle with cancer…

And some points you may need to consider or reassess within your own financial health
