Recently I posted my MINDFUL METHOD Infographic. Today I wanted to share a little bit more about what it means, and how I got to this conclusion as an acronym for a modern approach to acute care. In END OF THE ICE AGE, I go into quite a bit more depth on each of the variables in the MINDFUL METHOD. In this clip, I was introducing the concept to the inaugural class of END OF THE ICE AGE, before we took the plunge!... Let me know what you think in the comments! I’m giving away a couple free registrations for the course and as always, the FREE PREVIEW is still available.

The modern approach is actually pretty simple and seems like common sense. Unfortunately, it’s easy to slip into the traps of traditional care and the allure of the quick fix. It is imperative to educate our athletes, coaches, and parents of the fundamentals of good acute injury care.... _______________________________ Another infographic courtesy of END OF THE ICE AGE: A MODERN APPROACH TO TREATMENT OF INJURIES, my 6 hour, evidence informed approach to managing short term care with the long term in mind. FREE PREVIEW is still available in the link in my bio! Don’t understand why some of these tactics are here and others aren’t? Leave a comment or slide into my DMs.

Inspired by my recent podcast with @brookbushinstitute who opened my eyes even more to the state of evidence when it comes to #manualtherapy . ( do yourself a favor and give to a listen.) I just can’t understand the argument for why you wouldn’t want to use these techniques to help people. Touch is powerful medicine. It does have lasting effects, and it can be an incredible vehicle to deliver education to an engaged patient.... So let’s stop the one or the other nonsense and start learning how we can maximize the benefits we provide people.

Got the amazing pleasure of interviewing @brookbushinstitute on my podcast and this little gem was too good to not post. We discussed so many topics, but the hot button item was this fallacy that manual therapy isn’t evidence based as some false IG prophets would have you believe. It’s unfortunate that being a hater and controversial gets far more traction on social media then being poignant, direct and pragmatic does and so it the case on this topic.... Nobody reads more research than @brookbushinstitute . Furthermore they have shown great aptitude for interpreting the body of evidence, versus just cherry picking to support a singular approach in therapy. If you feel attacked on social media by the manual therapy haters out there, this podcast is a must listen!!!! Full episode will be released next week on @themovementunderground Radio.

THE MINDFUL METHOD is my new acronym for Treating acute trauma and injuries. Why? Because it gives strategies and insight for the here and now, but also takes into consideration the long term nature of healing and the psychosocial aspects of true recovery.... It isn’t a treatment tactic or set it and forget it recipe. It’s a concept. A homage to the roots of medicine, where actually thinking about the person in front of you mattered most. But also a modern take on healing physiology, and combining classic tactics with new age technology at the right time in the process to provide the right ingredients for growth. THE MINDFUL METHOD is rooted in evidence, and can be found in its entirely in END OF THE ICE AGE: A MODERN APPROACH TO ACUTE CARE. The free preview is still available in my linktree and I’ll be GIVING AWAY free registrations in my 1000 post giveaway! (See the post in my profile)
