Success, without a successor is no success at all.

[Caleb Kauffmann @NorCalPhysio]

Don’t be fancy, overly creative, or complex. Just do the thing until you can do it well. Then, once you’ve mastered the thing, as complexity or intensity.

Going a little deeper in the squat, decreasing fear, and increasing the EXCITEMENT for strength training.

Quote of the day: “IM FEELING IT! You know, that muscle in the sweaty a** underbutt!!” First time squatting with a barbell was successful. 😂

How I phrase it to my clients - “Cs get degrees. Do what you can now, then later we can start getting better and make the Honor Roll”

[Caleb Kauffmann @NorCalPhysio]

Get started. Just do it. Doesn’t have to be perfect.

[Caleb Kauffmann @NorCalPhysio]

Don’t get so blinded by the pain that you forget it’s all connected and dependent upon the other regions.

FIND the CAUSE, not the symptom.

FIX the CAUSE, don’t cover the symptom.

[Caleb Kauffmann @NorCalPhysio]

MYTH OF PAIN: The location of pain is ALWAYS the cause of pain.

Visceral pain (heart, liver, spleen) doesn’t produce local pain. So why expect muscles/bones to?

Maybe that low back pain is caused by the hip weakness. Headaches from neck stiffness. Shoulder pain from Tspine.

NEW PATIENT INTERACTION TODAY:

Us: what’s your dream outcome?
Them: oh, wow. No one has ever asked me that before.
Us: 🤨🤨🤨

If we don’t know our patient’s goals, how can we confidently create a plan of care??

Example: your low back hurts, so you think the low back is the problem. Your focus/effort is directed at rehabbing the low back specifically.

When in all reality, it hurts because you tried to PR your deadlift, cold. So maybe put your focus on creating a solid warmup.

[Caleb Kauffmann @NorCalPhysio]

What is focal is determined to be causal.

Careful what your focus is, because that’s what you will determine to be the cause. And if it’s not actually the cause, your efforts and energy will not give the desired outcome.

[Caleb Kauffmann @NorCalPhysio]

Patient: you should go see my PT
Her Crossfitter friend: I’ve tried PT and it didn’t work at all.
Patient: Then you DEFINITELY need to go see my PT.

Guess who came to see us today for her first session to fix her low back pain??

[Caleb Kauffmann @NorCalPhysio]

If you can believe it, her jiu jitsu is even BETTER than her biceps. 💪 Gotta love that BFR pump!

[Caleb Kauffmann @NorCalPhysio]

Simple systems scale; complex system fails. No better demonstration of this than the US healthcare system.

[Jerry Durham @Jerry_DurhamPT]

#healthcare has created a..

a complex system who believes the patient is simple..

WE NEED

a simple system believing in a complex person..

Patient quote of the day - “I’m like a shark; if I stop moving, I’ll die. The BEST I ever feel is when I am moving weight.”

[Alex Hormozi @AlexHormozi]

Before I decide to do something, my first question is:

“What problem are we solving?”

9 times out of 10, answering that question shows me:

1) It’s not really a problem (so I can ignore it)
2) What I was planning on doing wasn’t the best way to solve it.

If injury or pain is the battle (that every athlete will have to experience), what are you doing NOW to prepare yourself to win the battle?
