It’s wonderful when someone’s pain vanishes after a few visits.
When you can help some people get better in this short duration, it seems magical.
Expectations are high for therapists such as myself, especially when we are an out of pocket expense.
I know that with almost everyone, I only get one visit to show results for them to keep trying the system.
And not everyone gets better in one visit.
Pain is multi-factorial, and sometimes the factors must be dealt with one by one.
There is nothing magical about what we do at Catalyst SPORT.
But there is something special.
We look at you as an entity – not a diagnosis.
We try to help with your current discomfort and prevent future discomfort.
We improve faulty biomechanics – in the gym and at home.
We help people get more mobile, stabile, and strong.
We look at nutrition as medicine.
We study language use and culture creation, just as much as we study the deadlift.
We consider that if you hate your job, you might feel that back pain more.
We assess and correct faulty movement, understanding that movement is affected by many factors.
It takes instruction, commitment, and an eagle eye to find how movement affects pain.
We don’t want to just help you with pain.
We want to help you change your life.
We are catalysts – not magicians.
So if you book an appointment with the idea I will magically cure you of all aches and pains, prepare for dissatisfaction.
But if you’re ready to take responsibility and learn how to better help yourself get out of pain, I’ll be waiting. There’s no greater honor than to spend my life committed to helping you.
As always, it’s your call.
