We pride ourselves on taking the time to clearly explain the nature of your problem to you,
What needs to be done to ensure your success and answer all of your questions in easy to understand language.
Education is a very critical part of our philosophy at Perfect Stride. As the saying goes, “knowledge is power” and we could not agree more. Information is easier to obtain than ever before but how do we make sense of all of this information that is at our fingertips? There is a lot of misinformation that is being spread about movement, injury and rehab, and this can greatly hinder your recovery and increase your likelihood of injury in the future.
This gross misinformation campaign is very widespread and includes statements such as: pronation is bad – the knee extension machine is bad for your knees – you shouldn’t bend your spine – you shouldn’t let your knees go over your toes – your pelvis/spine is out of alignment – you have to keep your spine straight when you lift – your posture is causing your pain – all pain is bad so don’t move if you have pain – you should avoid the position that you got injured in – your MRI/x-ray findings define you and your pain experience – your disc slipped – running is bad for your knees and back These statements, along with many others, can be damaging to your health and performance.
While there may be a place and time to observe some of these statements, it rarely (if ever) should be considered an absolute truth. This is why we know that education is the single most important component of your successful movement journey. The more informed you are about your treatment, the better you can be an active participant in your movement journey, which will lead to YOU moving and feeling your best!
