Doctors Are Lying To Us
Doctors are good at one thing…
Prescribing medicine
Even when it’s not necessary
Even when other things can be done to help your problems
Anytime you go to see a doctor with an issue the first thing they do is write a prescription, especially for pain
Not all, but many of these cases can be avoided if these people are taught proper movement mechanics
If you have movement faults that never get fixed no medication will be a long term fix, only a temporary relief if that
For example, if you were never taught how to properly squat, as you get older you may experience knee, hip, or back pain…
If you go see a doctor for this they will say something along the lines of “take this medicine and stop squatting for a while until your pain goes down”
In theory this makes sense, if something hurts stop using it…
But if you never fix your faulty squat form, no medication will ever truly fix your pain
And many times you can skip the medication and learning the correct mechanics of movement will be all the medicine you need to feel better!
It is very unrealistic to go the rest of your life without squatting… Whether it be in the gym with a barbell on your back, to put your shoes on, or pick something off the floor… it is unavoidable
Which is exactly why stopping what you’ve been doing is not a good answer, rather you need to correct it
What to do if you have pain
It is super important to find a qualified professional who can help with your pain…
Many physical therapists prescribe simple & basic exercises that hundreds of other patients are performing day in day out with little variation or progression
Sometimes you need individualized attention to reach your goals that therapists don’t help much with
And many personal trainers can make your case worse if not careful
Platinum Training has over 3 years of working in a physical therapy setting learning many different types and forms of corrective exercise
Along with that over 4 years of one on one personal training experience with clients who majority of them deal with some type of pain
No client I've worked with has ever complained of their pain becoming worse!
In fact, just about all of them feel better!
