The concept of a comprehensive health clinic was theorized in 2018, but the groundwork had started much earlier. In 2012 I was working as a Remedial Massage Therapist and I had the pleasure of meeting a diverse range of interesting people, all with their own individual stories and needs, and once our session was over it was quite satisfying to see people standing taller, walking lighter and generally more relaxed when they walked out the door. But the relief was short-lived as I watched them return a few weeks later with the same issues.
I realized I wanted to give lasting relief to people, and I decided at this point to further my knowledge base and to undertake study in a field I had little knowledge of (and understanding of its significance); Podiatry.
Fast forward to 2018 and a few years into the profession, and I had realized that there is very rarely a ‘one-off’ event that is the cause of your body ache/pain. In fact, it is most likely the sum of many (seemingly insignificant) small traumas that have you in the clinician’s chair.
What if I told you that your chronic low back pain isn’t due to you picking up your child inappropriately one time?
Or if I told you that your knee pain isn’t due to the extra 4 kgs you put on over winter?
How about if I tell you that no matter how much product you put on that fungal nail it won’t get better – because it isn’t fungal!
