In this episode we talk about how treatment occurs, what the focus is, and how the body accepts treatment. 

The underlying goal of any treatment process is to have long term changes, so this talks about why the changes from a treatment stay or revert back to normal.

We hope y'all enjoy, and as always you can find us @OsteoCast_ on insta or Osteocast on Facebook!

In this episode we review a book we read over the last few weeks called Mindset, The Psychology of Success by Carol Dweck.
