Image
We’ve talked about how many ways companies can mess up their culture and how management can totally stink. Well, it’s high time for some positive talk! Today, we’re closing this week’s blog series with five savvy ways of boosting team unity. Ultimately, leadership is not only a characteristic required for success, it is also a virtue which most require of their managers. 1. Start with commonality. It is easiest to unify a team by focusing on what everyone has in common. It may sound easy, but the truth is, unifying across a commonality is far more complex than it may seem. If you were to go out into any industry or profession and ask what ties them together in unity, you are likely to get all sorts of different answers.

Fluid Motion

How multiple aspects of pain experience can inhibit our free flow “ Tension is who you think you should be. Relaxation is who you are” — Chinese Proverb “Motor responses reflect the CNS response to pain , threat, emotion, pathology, lifestyle, environment and task demand” — Peter O’sullivan Normal movement is easy, and focus is away from the body (external focus). People in pain have an internal focus, and move in a less fluid sense. A perfect example of this is what is known in baseball and golf as “the yips”. The term was coined by the Scottish golfer Tommy Armour, who said it was a "brain spasm that impairs the short game." #fail “We act in accordance with our self-image. This self-image-which, in turn, governs our every act-is conditioned in varying degree by three factors: heritage, education, and self-education” — Moshe Feldenkrais The concept of psychosocial factors influencing our movement has been present in some form of therapy for a long time, as...

Image
There are many reason why you need a mentor if you really want to be successful in your clinic, practice, patient interaction, and business. There are plenty of options out there and after doing it live for several years with fellowship mentoring and intermittently online. I felt like I needed to offer a program as diverse and effective as The Eclectic Approach has been come to be known for. My team of instructors for The Eclectic Approach and I have just launched Modern Rehab Mastery , a group that has 5 mentors, plus a ton of bonuses that pay for your entire first year. 5 Reasons Why You Need a Mentor 1. Mentors provide information and knowledge.   "Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn." - Benjamin Franklin I knew that I wanted to learn manual therapy and be the best PT I could be.
