What has been the biggest change in your philosophy as an athletic trainer over your career?

Question

Colin Diment · Answer

I really like this question, I'm very intentional about trying to learn new things and look at things from different perspectives to challenge, my own biases, and opinions and thought patterns. So I feel like there's a lot of different ways that I could answer this question. But the first thing that comes to mind is really just deepening. My appreciation for the fact that everything in the body is connected someone's like stiff ankles. Related to their neck pain. Someone's digestive issues is related to their low back pain. Someone's like, mental health, and stress issues, is 100% related to their injuries to their pain, to their quest for Peak athletic performance. I think in school were taught like a really isolated reductionist view of the body. And I Ink with some experience and what I'd like to think is some wisdom. I mean, maybe not but what I like to think is some wisdom is a deeper appreciation for the fact that everything is connected. Everything in the body is related and must be considered in evaluating and treating and rehabbing injuries and in chasing Peak Performance. So I don't know if that's so much a change in philosophy so much as A deepening and understanding, but that's the first thing that comes to mind.
