Why Your Rehab Isn't Working: The Real Reason Your Not Getting Better

from Gonstead Physical Medicine UNFILTERED · host Tony Del Angel

If you’ve been stretching, strengthening, and going through rehab but still aren’t getting better, this episode explains why.After attending a live cadaver dissection with Thomas Myers, Dr. Tony breaks down what he saw firsthand: the body is not made of isolated muscles—it’s one connected system from skin, to fat, to fascia, to muscle, all the way into bone.Using the concept of Biotensegrity, Dr. Tony explains how the body is built on tension and why even fat plays a role in maintaining structural stability when muscle is lost.He then breaks down the two types of movers: Tight movers (too much tension, poor glide)  Loose movers (lack of stability and coordination) Most rehab programs treat these the same—and that’s why people fail to see results.Dr. Tony also shares insights from a conversation with someone with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, showing how you can be strong but still unstable if your connective tissue system isn’t functioning properly.In this episode, you’ll learn: Why isolating muscles doesn’t fix the problem  Why loose movers need a completely different rehab approach  How to build real stability through coordinated tension and movement If nothing has worked for you, you may have been treated like the wrong type of mover.Website:  www.gonstead-nm.comDecrease Pain With Movement:  E-Book     Fix Your Pain & Posture 8-Week Online Video CourseEmail:  [email protected]:  @Gonstead.nm
