Let’s start with Awareness

Awareness and Sustainability

“Awareness” and “Sustainability” are two very popular buzz words these days.  What does it mean to you when we relate it to your body?

You may be living with discomfort in your body that you accept as normal.  I often hear people say, “It’s just the aches that come with old age.”  Yes, some of those aches are due to ‘old age’, but not all of them are.  The next time you see your therapist, ask for a thorough assessment of your body from their perspective, and you may be surprised that you’ve accepted a less than average standard for your body. 

This now triggers an ‘awareness’ that your body may not be at its optimal health, considering your age and life experiences. 

Take this first step to a healthier future:  Get a thorough assessment of your physical health, based on your age and life experiences.  Include, if you can, in this assessment any emotional connections to the discomfort you are feeling.  It is best to include any injury you have had, including work-related accidents and traffic incidents.  No injury is too minor to include in your assessment.
