The Test-Retest Model:
Why Your Life Requires Systems
At Refuge Physiotherapy, we adhere to what is called the “Test-Retest Model”. It is a simple concept. We perform an intervention, then we immediately re-test to see if it worked and helped with symptoms. If the movement (or whatever we are measuring) improved, we continue. If it didn’t, we pivot. We don’t guess. We measure.
Lately, I’ve noticed a pattern in my conversations with patients. People aren't just struggling with physical pain. They are struggling with consistency in their exercises and their other self-improvement habits. They begin to feel resistance, they get discouraged, and they quit.
The truth is, they don't have a motivation problem. They have a systems problem.
