EPISODE SUMMARY:

Dr. Pearson discusses two case studies and illustrates how important our mindset is related to what we think our body can do, cannot do, what we think it needs or what we are unwilling to do!

ON THIS EPISODE, WE DISCUSS…

  • Everyone has a back story.
  • A Younger gentleman in his late thirty’s is our first case study.
  • He was raised to believe that you just buck up and let the body do what it can or wants to do and you just move on.
  • He didn’t believe in stretches.
  • Dr. Pearson got him to do 10 hinges twice a day for two weeks.
  • If you feel like something is a waste of time, maybe try asking how long it would take before you start noticing a difference and you might not find it a waste of time anymore.
  • The second case study is a retired gentleman who is always on the go.
  • He suffered from back pains and learned how to live with them.
  • After being told by many massage therapists that he was so stiff he started to believe that was just how he was.
  • He would do every stretch that was suggested to him.
  • He had a great range of motion.
  • Dr. Pearson had him do a sit and decompress device (that you can look up online)
  • They weren’t making a lot of progress and it was causing a lot of frustration.
  • They switched to a rotational stretch and it seemed to help.
  • Sometimes slowing down stretches is what is really needed.
