No matter how well we've mastered our skills as chiropractors and no matter what techniques we use in our practice, our patients' patterned postural habits between office visits can dictate the level of success of our treatment plans.

One of my main motivations to become a chiropractor was my experience as an often-injured athlete. Innately, I was never satisfied with the symptom-oriented treatment the traditional medical model offered. I felt that given the right guidance, I could be doing things outside of the treatment and training room that would help my body heal faster and perhaps more effectively prevent future injury.

Score another win for innate intelligence! Over my many years in practice, and with the help and feedback from many incredible mentors, I've developed a "24/7 bubble" of healthy choices that I provide for my patients.

We become over time what we think, eat and do. As I observed patient after patient leave the office with reduced symptoms and increased function, I couldn't help but realize that many didn't even make it to their cars before reinforcement of pathological posture and faulty movement patterns began to undo the benefits of my care.
