Life is a sports event, for which we need to maintain our function. We are all athletes, but our events may be different, our goals may be different. David Francis, an expert in musculoskeletal physiotherapy explains his rational for coaching people to help them be their best.
Today I chatted with David Francis, a specialist musculoskeletal physiotherapist.
He discusses how life can be viewed as an AFL football game, and when we are in our fifties and sixties, that is the equivalent of the third quarter. This is the time when we really must pay attention to our health, our nutrition, and our fitness.
David uses motivational techniques to get people moving, he believes that when therapy is active it provides more sustained change compared to passive hands-on therapy.
People need to be taught how to sit, stand, walk and run. Then and only then can they be expected to achieve their fitness goals.
We are all athletes, but our events may be different. For some people the event is being able to do the gardening, for others the goal might be to win a race. It does not matter; the mechanics are the same we are all human.
No one is too old or too unfit or too overweight to benefit from David’s coaching style.
The key is self-belief an da little bit of coaching.
