Human beings are complex adaptable systems but rehab often times does not treat them or their movement solutions that way. The idea that there is one “ideal” way to move just pushes forward a narrative that is trying to convince you that you’re fragile and broken. Which makes you reliant on your rehab provider instead of empowering you to explore movement solutions in a safe and and controlled way. by @iamnotsofly

It is not uncommon to hear from ATs online talking about how they feel they are fighting a constant fight for recognition in the healthcare space. It’s causing droves of good ATs to leave the profession. What if that might have been by design?

Before you come for me in these comments 1) This affects all of healthcare. I’m sure 99% of people didn’t get into health for the money. There are way easier and less gross jobs that pay way more. AT is just the space I’m in. 2) I’m not debating skills or scopes. Just the forces that might impact decisions 3) I believe that all people deserve access to affordable care and 4) Political and economic philosophy is still philosophy. by @iamnotsofly

ATS might just be the ghostwriters of sports medicine. Just in case you wanted my unsolicited opinion. by @iamnotsofly

ACL tears aren't just knee injuries. They interrupt the conversation between the knee and the brain. In some ways, ACL injury is also a nervous system injury. Oddly enough, an Octopus probably understands that better than we do.

When an octopus loses an arm, the arm can grow back. But the newly grown arm has to reintegrate back into the nervous system to allow it to operate independently of the brain.

Humans aren't much different. After ACL injury the body reorganizes around the injury. Then you get surgery and have to reintegrate the knee while navigating coordination changes, strength changes, confidence changes, movement changes, etc.

We can do surgery to reconstruct the ligament all we want. That's structural. But rehab is about rebuilding the nervous systems connection to the body again. Not just a stronger knee.

Drop a "🐙" if you learned something form an octopus post.

Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes that reason is that you came back to early and you were under-prepared because you had no idea that you weren't ready because how could you know if there wasn't any evidence otherwise? It's not your fault. But those details can be the difference between coming back ready and being set up to fail. Make sure you're the first one.

If you need help with that I'm always around! DM me the word "Ready" and I'll help you find a way to be ready for when the moment comes. taken in Auburn Hills, Michigan by @iamnotsofly

Yo! My name is Sawyer. I spent my entire career chasing something that it turns out I didn't want. So now I'm taking everything that I've learned on that journey to help you get back to where you want to go. The best part? I'll even come to you. My goal is to provide athlete-centered, evidence-based care that doesn't ignore you, your goals, and your lived context.

Expect the following:
1) Reminders why it's important to lift
2) Tips on what's worth your time for recovery
3) Philosophy content, spongebob references, and disrespect being thrown gravity's way regularly. #DGD

Thanks for coming along for the ride!!! taken in Auburn Hills, Michigan by @iamnotsofly

Believe it or not there are a lot of people who were alive a really long time ago that still have a ton of influence on how things work today. Descartes is probably one of the most important people that fall into that category and his famous "I think therefore I am" is an idea that might be harming people.
