Happy Labor Day, America!

🇺🇸 Let's not forget that we have UNIONS to thank for today's grill out. May we rest, recharge and remain motivated and driven to fight and maybe even STRIKE for our labor rights, living wages, equal pay, family leave.

"Researchers have settled on what they believe is the magic number for true expertise: 10,000 hours. " - Malcolm Gladwell⁠
⁠
I did the math for myself: 10 years, thousands (yes thousands) of clients in, and roughly 19,000 hours of (hands on) work in the massage and manual therapy space and I guess I can firmly say that I am an expert... To some degree I do feel like an expert. There is a lot that I have come to learn about the human body and the work that I do with it. I can confidently rattle off about evidence based techniques, client therapist interactions, observation, palpation and practice management. I am genuinely learned enough to go on with another bodyworker about stored trauma, pain neuropathways, muscular restrictions, dysfunctions, anatomy, and injuries. I am never misunderstood by doctors or medical professionals as I communicate clearly in medical terms and have a strong understanding of them. But am I truly an "expert"? While I have learned enough to confidently treat or deny treatment to a variety of persons with myriad conditions, it is difficult for me to accept the title expert. The reason being; I deal primarily with pain. 85% of clients seeking treatment, come to me specifically for the treatment and management of pain or perceived pain. This is an area of human ailment that has the potential to confound the most studied professionals in this field. There are sometimes obvious reasons for pain and those times it may be simpler to treat. Mostly though pain is subjective. Pain is elusive. Pain is often stored deep within the nervous system. Many people will genuinely believe there is no reason at all for their pain and many more will go back decades to the origin of their pain. When your work has to do, not only with technique and treatment but also necessitates an acknowledgement of an individuals beliefs, experiences, and confinement to personal narratives, it's important to remain open to adjusting ones own level of expertise.
