It’s Black Friday season! Lock in your current rate🌟

Sometimes, clients come to see me to get out of pain, and they are absolutely not ready to even consider that the source of their pain might be their brain and not their body. And that's okay.

I have learned to avoid pushing the mindbody topic with these clients.

I usually still briefly talk about the current pain science showing that most chronic symptoms are neuroplastic in nature and point them to resources for scientific research papers, podcasts, articles, and books on mindbody conditions.

And I will then address their symptoms via manual therapy. Because at this point in time, that is what they need.

Who knows - maybe the information will resonate down the road, and they will be interested and ready to learn more about it then.

In my opinion, the power of The Mindbody Approach lies in the skills it teaches the client to address and correct their symptoms themselves without needing an outside practitioner.

I'm all for empowering my clients but I also recognize that some people are so exhausted by their pain that what they need is to just feel taken care of for a little bit.

Nothing is cookie-cutter. I do what works for YOU!
