Get Yourself Back in Motion. Jason T Smith

       Review the health secrets of this chapter.

       In the past, have you simply been ‘involved’ in your health program, rather than truly ‘committed’? How much contribution have you made in setting the goals and objectives you are working towards? If you are not excited and determined about succeeding…it’s likely you need to set new expectations about what you are doing. Write on your bathroom vanity mirror, in lipstick or marker pen, two health initiatives you are truly committed to. Every day you brush your teeth you will be reminded of their importance. Don’t wash the mirror for two weeks.

       Sketch out a quick hub and spoke diagram. Put the name of the person who most likely represents your ‘hub practitioner’ in the middle. Add other names or descriptions to the spokes. You may include in this diagram your physiotherapist, local doctor, dentist, personal trainer, best friend or even sports store sales assistant. Have you got the right team? Who might serve as a better ‘hub’ for the purposes of really coaching you to optimum wellness? Create a short list of possible candidates. Seek them out. Assess their compatibility. Make a decision. Move forward with clarity.

       Reflect on whether you have the right physiotherapist on your journey. How does your current practitioner rate against the attributes listed in this chapter? Discuss your new expectations with them. If need be, open yourself to visiting other practices to find the right ‘fit’. Alternative options may be found at the back of this book.
