Beyond the Symptom : Identifying the Root Cause
Through my experience working with both the general population and elite athletes, I have developed a keen skill in observation and come to understand that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to treatment. Each individual requires a unique, tailored treatment program.
This realization has deepened my appreciation for the importance of biomechanics and the necessity of viewing the patient holistically, focusing not just on symptoms but on identifying and addressing the root cause of problems.
By treating the patient as a whole, we can alleviate their current symptoms while also enhancing their overall function and well-being. This holistic approach ensures that we address all contributing factors, leading to more sustainable and effective outcomes.
