Eps.4 ~ How we approach a diagnosis
Wow! The fourth Posturing for Health Podcast episode already!
In the previous episode, Bill and Gina talked about diagnoses, in regards to reports and labels that many of our clients receive about their physical issues - what they mean, and how to use them to begin a dialogue.
In this episode, we take that topic further - into how each of us might address a ‘diagnosis’.
Some of the points we cover:
The ‘trap’ of reductionist thinking which can be rampant in massage therapy approaches;
How an ‘eastern’ modality, like shiatsu, might view a ‘western’ diagnosis;
What a ‘syndrome’ is (and isn’t);
The potential dangers of overlooking the fascial (connective tissue) system in diagnoses;
Why one should not ‘smack’ the child (or the mother) when the child is screaming;
We hope you enjoy! Feel free to share your comments below.
