One of the sadder things we see in the clinic is medical problems and challenges set in place by a history of unhealthy movement or postural patterns. This is not a judgment—the vast majority of us have a variety of unhealthy patterns and behaviors, be they subtle or overt. So while we won’t waste time drawing moral conclusions, we must acknowledge that habitually harmful postural and movement patterns can and ultimately will lead to negative consequences for many of us.
As a therapist, I don’t mind helping rehabilitate these negative health consequences, but I also feel that it’s vastly better to avoid health problems in the first place.
