Re-introduction


My Name is Dustin Murdock and I am a physical therapist at Adapt Physical Therapy. In general, I am the type of person who is curious about almost anything and have been told in the past that I have too many interests. I spend my free time reading, spending time outside and spend way too much time in the gym. For the past 15+ years, physical activity and training has been a big part of my life ranging from sport, running, powerlifting and now CrossFit with a bit of endurance training mixed in. This affinity for movement and physical activity has influenced my previous education in exercise science and has led to me to completing a master in physical therapy.

As a physiotherapist, I take a more movement based approach with a focus on providing information and advice on how to manage pain and injury. I believe that physical therapy and rehab is not easy and try my best to provide people the tools and information to navigate the complexities of pain and injury. I always tell people that physiotherapy is NOT about “fixing people”, telling people what they should not do or finding problems. I believe that physiotherapy should be helping people get back to the things they want to do and finding ways to manage pain/injury and lifestyle based on their goals inside and outside the gym. One of my goals as a physical therapist is to show people that their bodies have the capacity to grow and adapt no matter their age or previous life experiences. Rather than focusing on finding problems the aim is to empower people, keep people moving and encourage people to move more.

Moving does the fixing (post)

You don’t need to fix things to start moving.


People often think that they must fix things, be a bit stronger, more mobile and a lot of other things, before they start moving or trying a new activity.  The truth is you will probably never be “ready” or have perfect conditions.
 
Moving or starting to move is how you do the fixing

Rehab should not be complicated


Everyday movement is not complicated. For the most part, we push, pull, carry, hinge, bend and twist without thinking about it too much or worrying about how we are doing it.

Rehab should not be complicated or technical either. It should be based on principles that can be applied in a wide variety of applications. No secrets or complexity needed just the basics.

Pain and injury are complex problems that are usually best solved with the application of basic principles.

Some thoughts on exercise...


“Exercise is generally done against one’s wishes and is maintained because the alternative is worse” – Daniel E. Lieberman
 
Most people when they hear the word “exercise” or “fitness” it usually brings on a wide range of thoughts from excitement to dread depending on the person and their general proclivity to exercise and movement.
 
Exercise and movement exists on an infinite spectrum of activities and movements which is relative to the individual and only to them alone. Not liking or enjoying a particular form of exercise is totally fine but fortunately there are many other ways to experience exercise and movement.
 
I am a believer that exercise is the closest thing we have to a magic pill when it comes to psychological, physical and even spritual health. It is also one of the least natural things we can do in our society but has the potential to add so much value to a person’s life and people in their circle. Exercise can be uncomfortable and hard but everybody who exercises feels the same way from athletes to a person trying exercise for the first time. Choosing to exercise is rarely a regretful decision but choosing to not exercise is almost always regretful decision sooner or later.  
 
You should make exercise both necessary and fun whatever that looks like to you. You also do not have to do a lot to have benefits, but more is generally better. The most important thing is that you are moving your body regularly at any age. Find a form of exercise that challenges you and more importantly one you enjoy. Your body is a system that is adaptable, resilient and built to move.

Why do injuries happen?


First off, pain and injury are complicated and generally have a lot of factors that influence why you got injured and are experiencing pain.
 
There are physical reasons such as too much too soon, cumulative training load and excessive loading. Psychological reasons such as work and life stress that influence how you feel pain. General lifestyle factors that could influence injury and pain including sleep and nutrition. Sometimes, accidents and injuries just happen for no particular reason. These are only some of the possible reasons and there are many more that can be considered.
 
Blaming or making one movement, snapshot of time the sole reason for your injury is not inherently useful for rehab or determining what caused your injury and pain because there are usually many reasons.
 
Most of time, you can identify a few different things that are both actionable and modifiable which can influence healing and your current pain experience. Because of the many factors that influence pain and injury there are a lot of different paths to healing and resuming pain free movement.
 
If you are injured or next time it happens keep this concept in mind. Any single movement is not inherently bad for you just happened to be at the time you got injured.
