Do you want to be fixed? - Dale Hardiman of Hardiman Performance

Описание: Often patients come into clinic asking if we can 'Fix Them'.

At Hardiman Performance we pride ourselves on getting excellent results with our patients enabling them to get back to living the active life they desire.

We don't 'fix' people.

Let me explain why......

The idea of going to someone to be 'fixed' does

1) Shifts responsibility from self to the health professional.

2) Increases reliance on continued care.

3) Offers no long-term solution for your pain.

At Hardiman Performance we don't believe in 'fixing'.

Instead we

1)Educate our patients about the nature of their presenting complaint and how their lifestyle choices can influence it.

2) Provide treatment options which empower the patient, enabling them to decrease fear/pain and increase strength, mobility and resilience.

3) Focus on both short term and longer-term recovery goals helping our patients get back to the things they love.

Are there times when patients come to us, have treatment, immediately feel better and live happily ever after without having to make any adjustments, do any rehab or change anything about their lifestyle?

YES.

Is this the case for majority of people?

NO.

Most people have to do a little work themselves, with our guidance, support, knowledge, reassurance and motivation along the way.

Typically this (work) comes in the form of rehab/general exercise, weight/stress/sleep management etc.

At Hardiman Performance our aim is to get our patients to the point where they live their lives without the need for our continued care.

There patients are, of course, ever thankful for us 'fixing' them.

But as you now know, we didn't fix them after all. In fact, with our support and guidance, they actually 'fixed' themselves.
