Had such a great time at the Collaborative Care Collective conference a couple weekends ago. It was energizing to be in a room full of physiotherapists and regenerative orthopaedic physicians who are all committed to tackling complex issues in a more integrated, whole-body way.
The sessions dove deep into fascial and anatomical connections, movement analysis, and the importance of collaboration between physios and physicians. One theme came up again and again: the body works as a connected system, and often symptoms that shows up in one area are being driven by something happening elsewhere in the body.
We explored a lot of practical strategies focused on getting to the root cause instead of chasing symptoms. It was also affirming to see that the work we’re doing in our practice—especially our focus on the rib cage and how it influences the rest of the body—is right in line with where rehab is going.
I’m coming back feeling re-energized and grateful - for the conversations, the shared ideas, and the sense that we’re part of something bigger in how we care for people.
Big thanks to everyone who made it such a meaningful weekend, and I look forward to the conference next year!
