The priority is now.
(Yes, I am that short!)
Not what you have done in the past, titles, awards, accolades, publications, etc.
Sure, this adds extra kudos and proof your work has had success. But what matters is now.
Here's me winning European championships in 2012.
To my recollection, at least 70% of the division had at least a international title to their name previously or current- European champion, world champion, world cup winner or international open winner.
Two gents next to me? Both have multiple world and European titles to their name.
Past achievements did not matter. Our performance on the day was the only metric used.
No different with getting better.
Recent case with a new client who like many others, has seen many clinicians and shoulder specialists, with no success Including a few, what I call “big hitters”.
(The ones with top tier sports team and athletes to their name. Working with royal families and the wealthy.)
Sure, the shoulder was painful and lacked stability. They struggled to hold their arm out in front of them. Had to use the other arm to support the reaching arm.
Even reaching out to the top shelf of the fridge caused pain and shakiness. And that’s not even having anything in their hand!
After a comprehensive assessment, the cause?
Shoulder restriction and compression was to create stability and locking everything down.
All for a few old hockey injuries to the head- concussions, whiplash, vision system in chaos.
When she moves her eyes into a specific position? All the weakness cancels out.
Back to the front and other positions? Weakness returns.
Double checked with the fridge reach and as long as she looks in that particular direction, everything is fine.
She’s all booked in and due to commence in a few weeks with a view to getting her life back, more headspace and to get off the various painkillers.
When the eyes cannot function well and you’ve also had a hefty rock to the head?
Neck and shoulders will doubly lock down to create stability to keep your vision as level as it can.
Doesn’t care if it screws up your shoulder in the process.
Why did the big hitters consultants and specialists miss this?
Who knows. But with such vast accolades and titles, the pressure is there and is a fine line.
Having a framework and knowing what questions to ask made finding the cause straightforward.
Real time testing and data tracking showed the client not only data of the level of changes possible, but motivation that their issues can be solved and not having to live with the issue.
