For years, Allison thought her back pain came from one moment, lifting her toddler awkwardly into the car two years ago.

She believed that if she could just “fix” that one injury, everything would go back to normal.

So every time it flared up, she came in thinking it must be that same old injury acting up.

But the truth is, it wasn’t about that one moment at all

The problem was how her days actually looked, squatting down to kids’ level all day at work, lifting them up off the ground, hunched over tiny desks, skipping workouts because she was too tired.

It wasn’t one injury. It was the same stress, over and over again, wearing her body down.

It reminded me of when people used to complain that my blogs were “wrong” because I didn’t mention their exact injury.

But it’s not about one-off injuries. It’s about how your body handles your life, on repeat.

Pain sticks around when your body is under more stress than it can handle.

Long-term adjustments aren’t about chasing the old injury, they’re about building your body’s resilience so it doesn’t break down again.

And when that shift clicks, when you stop thinking “fix the injury” and start thinking “build the system”, things actually change.

That’s what I call Resilience Care.

I'm a chiro, and I get treated by a physio...
(Let's talk about it)

The debates are endless.
Physios rolling their eyes at chiros.
Chiros rolling their eyes at physios.
Osteos trying to make everyone friends.

Here’s the thing: good therapists are good therapists — regardless of what’s on their business card.

They’re the ones who genuinely care about getting their clients better.

The ones who use evidence-based treatments, not just techniques that create short term relief.

The ones who communicate clearly, educate deeply, and empower their clients to take charge of their health — instead of making them dependent on a modality.

It’s not physio vs chiro vs osteo.

It’s therapists who are dedicated to their clients recovery vs therapists who go through the motions (or worse, disempower their clients).

I love working collaboratively with physio's and osteo's to get an outcome for my patients. There are many ways to create beneficial change in the body, and different conditions require different strategies.

And when I'm dealing with an injury of my own? I choose who treats it based on the type of injury I have - sometimes that's a chiro colleague, and sometimes it's a physio or osteo that I trust.

Give me the therapist who listens, who challenges, who cares, who empowers and who gets genuine results — every single time...regardless of their title.

Do you agree? Or do you think one profession is superior?

Most people need it. Some ask for it and nearly everyone ignores it. What am I talking about?

I just asked chat gpt what it would do if it wanted to keep the whole country sick.

Oof, dark question—but a powerful way to think critically about systems that might be keeping people unhealthy. If I were the devil and wanted to keep an entire country sick, here’s what I might do:
1. Promote ultra-processed food as “normal” and “convenient.”
Make it cheap, addictive, and everywhere. Fill it with sugar, seed oils, and synthetic additives that slowly erode health.
2. Confuse people about health.
Flood the media with conflicting advice—low-fat one day, keto the next, vegan the day after. Keep people overwhelmed and unsure who to trust.
3. Encourage dependency on pharmaceuticals over root-cause healing.
Push quick fixes that treat symptoms but don’t solve underlying issues. Make it easier to get a pill than to access real healing.
4. Make healthcare unaffordable and reactive.
Focus on managing disease rather than preventing it. Design the system so people only seek help when they’re already very sick.
5. Normalize burnout and chronic stress.
Glorify hustle culture. Undervalue sleep, rest, and joy. Keep people anxious, overworked, and disconnected from their bodies.
6. Make clean food and supplements seem “woo-woo.”
Ridicule those who question the mainstream narrative. Label holistic or integrative approaches as pseudoscience.
7. Pollute the environment and call it progress.
Taint water, air, and soil with chemicals. Use marketing to make this look like the price of innovation.
8. Market health as beauty—not vitality.
Focus attention on weight and appearance rather than strength, energy, and function. Keep people chasing unrealistic aesthetics instead of real wellness.
