The Real Future of Healthcare

SERVICES DESIGNED TO EMPOWER PEOPLE TO PREVENT DISEASE & PROLONG THE QUALITY OF LIFE

“It is said that if you want to know what you were doing in the past, look at your body now; if you want to know what will happen to you in the future, look at what your mind is doing now.”

...Dalai Lama

Modern medicine and the “Healthcare” system as we know it has many advantages and disadvantages. Unfortunately, we need to take a closer look at what we are really taking part in. HealthCare means Caring for your health. But, is that what we are really doing? It seems we wait until we are sick before we access the “healthcare” system.

What we may really be a part of is a system in which people wait until they are sick, before they attend to their lessening health. Pain as a symptom is our bodies alarm system, warning us that we need to take action. We than seek out someone or something to provide the answers. Doctors, pills, medical tests, and surgery are all the means by which people pursue healing,  We attempt to quantify and qualify the totality of our disease with a diagnosis. This is the name by which your symptoms will be called. Only than are we sent for more tests and potentially invasive procedures. But, at what point are we responsible for all of this. Someone else diagnoses you, someone else administers treatment and it seems someone else pays for it.

Q: WHAT IS THE ANSWER TO A “HEALTHCARE” SYSTEM FALLING APART AS QUICKLY AS AMERICAS’ HEALTH?

A: RESPONSIBILITY! THE ABILITY TO RESPOND.

Responsibility means, “The ability to respond”, but, how able are people to respond when someone else diagnoses you, someone else administers treatment and someone else pays for it? The answer is not very response – able at all. This is a very disempowering and dependant system where people, rather than getting healthier and well, get sicker, and are less able to choose health. This type of system actually increases national healthcare costs.

HEALTHY LIFESTYLE MANAGEMENTS’ GOAL IS:
to teach and foster the personal ability to respond (responsibility) to the choices required in order to live a healthy, happy and fulfilled life.

Response –able for the food you eat
Response –able for the exercise you choose or choose not to undertake
Response –able for the healthcare decisions you make
Response –able for the thoughts you have
Response –able for the emotions you create
Response –able conditions of your life!

As Physical Therapists we deal with dis-ability all day. Incorporating clinical skill and care, we help the dis-abled become response-able. This is the essence of the message.

Unfortunately up until now people have been responding without ability. For example when it comes to exercise, the masses, even the government has commanded you to exercise in order to prevent disease and prolong the quality of your life. However, how able are you to respond to such an order? Combined with the fear of being unable to respond and nowhere to turn, you may be asking yourself, “So where do I find the answers I need to choose a responsible and healthy lifestyle?
