One of the things I hear from PT and AT professionals is that in their day to day, they get good results, but they feel like they are still missing something. That “something” prevents them from having the confidence to guarantee those results for their clients and leaves them wondering if it is possible to have even better outcomes like fewer treatment sessions needed.

Feeling like they are missing something causes them to be stuck in a loop, repeating these FOUR common mistakes:

1️⃣ Learning more and more techniques for treatment:⁣

CE courses give us more tools, but outcomes stay mediocre at best, taking weeks or months. Maybe the issue isn’t the techniques—it’s the framework we’re working in. 🧐⁣

2️⃣ Chasing biomechanics and movement dysfunction:⁣

Yes, movement matters, but the body chooses patterns for survival. Dysfunction isn’t random—it’s the result of deeply embedded neurological patterns to protect the organs and organism.⁣

3️⃣ Thinking time, the patient, or pain is the problem:⁣

Yes, healing takes time. Yes, patients can be non-compliant. Yes, pain can centralize. But let’s be real—these are often excuses. Better results are possible, we just lack the right assessment framework.⁣

4️⃣ Chasing symptoms and pain session after session:⁣

Even when we know we shouldn’t, we still do it. With so many treatment options, it’s hard not to. But without a clear assessment sequence, we’re just guessing—and frustrating both ourselves and our patients.⁣

Sound familiar? You’re not alone. These mistakes keep us stuck.⁣

Most professionals overlook the influence of the viscera and nervous system on pain and function. They also struggle to trust the body’s wisdom to guide treatment, ultimately guessing where to start.⁣

When you know where to start by listening to the body you will get fast results that stick using ANY tool or treatment approach you like (yes, ANY tool: manual therapy, massage, dry needles, cups, exercise, pilates, neurology, IASTM, tape, whatever floats your boat 😜.) 

I’ve helped thousands of professionals break free from this cycle by making ONE change to their assessment. They’ve gone from frustrated and stuck to confident in their ability to guarantee results—even in complex cases—without having to learn another treatment system.

Now it’s your turn.⁣
