Self Care = Health Care

Self Care = Healthcare: A workshop for Understanding the Framework for Load, Adaptation, and Longevity of The Human Body

In most healthcare models, care begins after symptoms appear. Pain, dysfunction, or performance decline triggers evaluation and intervention. This reactive orientation shapes how clinicians are trained to think: identify the problem, apply treatment, reassess.

Self-care, by contrast, is often framed as lifestyle advice, optional wellness behavior, or patient compliance. From a clinical standpoint, this framing is inaccurate and limiting.

Self care is not ancillary to healthcare. It is the most frequent and influential form of healthcare the body receives.

The movements a person performs daily—standing, sitting, walking, bending, reaching, transitioning, breathing, and sleeping—apply mechanical, neurological, and fascial input to the system thousands of times per week. These inputs shape tissue behavior long before pain qualifies as pathology.

When clinicians ignore this layer, they are forced to repeatedly manage symptoms that are being recreated between sessions. Also, Cleo ts and the general public are often left with unfulfilled expectations from the therapies they receive.

This workshop will introduce bout clinicians and the general public to the needed “Mindset” changes in the Wellness industry and introduce some practical tips on how to begin to view your role in your own healing.
