THE PHYSICAL THERAPIST

AS A MECHANIC AS A STRATEGIST

THE PHYSICAL THERAPIST

AS A MECHANIC

• Have we tried to understand and treat pain by navigating with The Wrong Set of Rules?

• Find it, fix it?

• If ”all roads lead to Rome” someone is full of BS…

THE PHYSICAL THERAPIST

AS A MECHANIC

• Similar outcomes despite widely different explanations

• Yet we do much the same

• Look, Listen, Touch, Talk

• (Bio)mechanical reasoning does not explain this

WHO & WHAT ARE WE?

Bob the Builder fixing machines?

Strategists managing ecosystems?

CONCEPTUAL ACCEPTANCE

1) Hands on

2) Prescriptions

3) Reasoning models

4) EBM

= haptics

= load management

= meaningful narratives

= informed probability

THE PHYSICAL THERAPIST

AS A STRATEGIST • Mirrors an approach to

calculate dynamic interactions in complex phenomenons

• Different Set of Rules Different hiarchy Different ontology Different epistemology

IT’S NOT ABOUT THE BALL!

THE PHYSICAL THERAPIST

AS A STRATEGIST • Starts with S. Kierkegaard

• Who is the enemy?

• Empirical reasoning strategies should match enemy and context

• Predictions based on tendencies (epidem. data)

• Everything can’t be fixed and difficult is still difficult

• As good as it gets-scenario: Cure sometimes, often treat, comfort always

• Most important job is to prevent chronification

• Do the basics even better! Mind your language!

• Focus on meaning, culture & healing narratives

• Stand up against professional disservice

• Take the leap from Mechanics to Strategies
