The Power Of A Second Opinion!
Matthew here again. I wanted to share a story about how a second opinion can sometimes drastically improve your current issues and get you back on track much faster.
Have you or someone you know been working with another physio or other practitioner like a chiro or osteo?
Does it seem like you or they aren’t getting anywhere and just keep seeing them week on week?
Rehab is supposed to help and empower you to get out of pain or dysfunction and move towards self reliance (not reliance on someone else that is creating a drain on your pocket 😖) so you can manage yourself and get back to the things that matter in your life.
Recently I’ve had 2 clients come see me with relatively straight forward issues – a rotator cuff strain and low back pain.
Both of these were poorly managed and had been dealing with their issues months longer than expected.
They were not given clear guidance on their diagnosis (in fact the rotator cuff was misdiagnosed) or what to expect with the injury and their rehab wasn’t specific to their needs and hadn’t progressed in weeks.
After a second opinion I was able to provide clear guidance on all the above and create a rehab program for them that was specific and progressive to get them back to feeling strong and confident allowing them to return to their every day activities.
Often clinicians default to what they’ve always done or learned from outdated practices which may not be serving your best interests.
Our focus at Myofunction is to create resilient and robust individuals through movement and to teach and guide you how to become a master of your own health.
A second opinion could lead to a pain free life for you, just like it did for my clients above.
Yours In Health,
Matthew Kaloutsis
