Physiotherapy, if done wrong, can hurt you.

There are people who love physical manipulations done by physiotherapists and chiropractors and believe this is the way to go, and there are those who prefer to avoid it because cracking and popping is just not their thing. I’m in the latter group – mostly because of the things that I’ve learned over decades.

There are some methods, especially things like osteopathic and chiropractic manipulations that can cause severe damage.

I’ve been aware of this for a long time, so I’m glad that I could sit down with Tom Ockler to really dive into the details of this topic that can literally save lives. Tom is an internationally recognized physical therapist, teacher, and author who’s been running his practice for over 20 years, and uses a neuromuscular approach, which means he’s never resorting to manipulation.

In this interview, which is essential for understanding physical therapy, you’ll discover:

• How a non-traditional approach to physical therapy can help you heal better.
• About trigger points and why they so often cause problems later on after an injury.
• What to do when the pain doesn’t want to go away.
• Hands-on work: tapping session for reducing/eliminating stubborn pain.
