Well now, it really doesn’t get much simpler than this does it.

At RAPID we are DEAD set against rest.

Your body needs movement to flush waste and swelling after injury.

As therapists we know the lymphatic system lacks a pump and requires muscular contraction to move. If you don’t move-neither does it.

And if it’s not moving, you’ll be sitting in a puddle of toxic waste and in certain extended suffering.

Movement also aids in reassuring your nervous system that you are still ok.

Immobilizing fear halts this and your cortical map can become blurred which can keep you in a state of extended injury.

Remember if you don’t use it-you lose it, and that is exactly what happens!

At RAPID we encourage movement and lots of it after injury, on our tables and then after treatment to ensure our patients are set up for success.

Allowing them or even encouraging them (God forbid), to avoid moving would reduce the success of our treatment-and guaranteed if you do this, you are reducing the success of yours.

One of the most tired pieces of advice for an injury.

"Put some ice on it".

Numbing an injury can feel good.
But it can slow down or even stop healing.
It can even leave you vulnerable to long term pain.

Sometimes you need to ice.
But most of the time you don't.

How well you can hack into the nervous system will equate to the success of your treatment. If you are not considering the role of the nervous system in your treatment you are missing the biggest piece of the therapeutic puzzle.

YOU are not relaxing tissue, YOU are not releasing adhesions, YOU are not increasing range of motion. The nervous system is doing it for you.

The better and more effective your communication with the nervous system, the better your therapeutic outcomes will be.

In class I always say that every day I could find a new study that shows pain is unrelated to tissue damage.

Every. Single. Day.

Now say it with me friends! Tissue damage does not equal pain and pain does not equal tissue damage!!

Facts…

Nociception is the discomfort that most people call pain.

Nociception is caused by nociceptors.

Treat the nociceptors and the discomfort goes away and people report less pain…regardless of damage.

Bringing the brain to safety should be your #1 priority as a therapist.

When the brain senses instability, vulnerability or weakness it's first reaction is to lock down ROM and cause discomfort to warn you of impending danger.

The brain will literally shut down neural drive to the tissues to ensure safety from further damage.

Unfortunatley this lock down has little to do with the current situation of the tissues and can stem from past tissue insults and injury.

If you as a therapist can properly reassure the sytem, the brain let's go of these holding patterns, restablushes neural drive, and ROM of motion is restored, and pain is reduced.

This is pure gold right here! 🏆🏆🏆

Does it matter if your client has; piriformis syndrome, sciatica, SIJ dysfunction, low back pain?

Aren’t you still just going to just treat the PAIN???

Why on earth would a diagnosis matter…at all???
