I’m not a doctor, I don’t claim to be a doctor, nor do I play one on TV; just some ramblings on the subject.
However, I do think that I can help a lot of people live a pain free life.\
I can do this because most overuse injuries, or … can be prevented with changes in movement patterns and the right life and exercise choices. Do I think that physical therapists and doctors are not necessary? No, its very important to know when you need to refer out, and also to know who to refer to.

In our current day, there are many things that we do that are just not natural. From sitting at a desk to running on a treadmill, our bodies did not evolve performing these activities (no, I’m not getting into the whole “primal” thing, that’s for another day). These and any number of other things put unnatural stresses on our body, over time these lead to nagging pains, and can eventually lead to injury, or put us at a higher risk of injury.
Now, I think that it is pretty much impossible to stop doing everything that puts weird stresses on our body, not to mention how boring life might be. But, I do think that you can mitigate these stresses and become stronger in ways that help counteract any damage you might accrue.

Through experts such as Gray Cook and Katy Bowman, we can learn how to move to the best of our advantage, and how to gradually revert back to healthier movement patterns etc. Who has time to do all that research and reading you may ask? That’s where we come in. Not only have we done the research, reading and practical learning. But we also have the tools to help people make these movement based habit choices a reality.
Even those who have been to rehab and done some time performing the home exercises from their PT’s, eventually tend to stop doing them. Unfortunately, just doing corrective/preventive exercises or movements for a short time is not good enough. In order to counteract our daily lives, we need to be doing the right kind of movements and preventive measures as part of our daily routines. Think of it as an insurance policy. Rather than saving money to fix ourselves if we get hurt, how about we prevent the hurt in the first place. This goes for any aspect of our daily lives, from nutrition, to smoking habits, to movement.

We at VIVO Training Systems, are the habit people. We cannot diagnose an injury, or prescribe medicine. But we can help you with the small things that over time become huge, like losing the weight so you don’t need your blood pressure medicine anymore (only with approval from your physician of course!) or fixing your squat form so that you don’t tear up your knees and eventually need surgery or therapy.
