Education
“Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.”
– William Butler Yeats
One underutilized but powerful tool in both the rehabilitation and training
process is education. The fuller the understanding an athlete has of their
condition, the more compliant they will be to their prescribed program and
the more empowered they will be to prevent future injuries. Education is the
foundation on which dynamic muscular therapy is based at Soarbody Therapeutics.
Ultimately, the athlete comes to the Soarbody
treatment room
not to be taken care of, but to learn how to take care of themselves. As
they are being treated, every relevant aspect of their chronic injury and
exercise program is addressed. The combination of audio, visual, and
kinesthetic inputs during treatment develops an understanding within the
athlete of the cause of the injury and the rationale behind the treatment,
thus providing motivation to comply with their programs while empowering
them to prevent future injuries and excel at their sport. The desire to
excel and take control of one’s healing is the hallmark of the Soarbody
athlete.
