For much of my life, I have asked why is life so slow. Why isn’t there a quicker or better way? I, like many of you, have been time crunched for years. With what? Life things, from the regular routine of exercising 3-5x a week, mantaining my hygiene, eating 3-6 well-rounded meals a day, drinking 8 cups of water. We often find it pretty good to live this way until it is interrupted by an incident like an injury or a funny ache somewhere. Then, you are sent in a panic frenzy, asking yourself is it serious, can I wait, or will it go away if I just leave it alone. Most often than not, the latter is most often the worst, and the former is a pretty darn good question.
Is it serious? OF COURSE IT IS! Why would you be panicked if it wasn’t? Things that break up your norm is a serious thing to consider; maybe not right now, but eventually it will take a toll and if you don’t take action, it will lead to a cascade of events from something small to something big, bad and ugly.
Back to my dilemma…
I was raised to believe that there is “always a better way” in this consumer society filled with quick slim/trim diets, mobile phones, internet, and excel sheets. Like most of you, I wanted it now and I wanted it cheap with the best results. I always questioned the traditional and conventional theory—that hard work produces the best results. Who wants to sit through the mundane and boring materials, exercises, classes.
Practicularly, as a practicing physical therapist, most of us forget that you all have lives out side of PT and can’t afford to spend a couple of hours per day to rehab a knee. Too many exercises, too much time, little gains are frustrating. Now I am not saying that shortcuts work in every case, but I believed that there MUST be bridges and shortcuts in life. You just have to look hard to find it.
So I began my quest in my youth to see if there was a more efficient way to reach the best outcome. Originating from a patient standpoint years before I started pursuing a Physical Therapy degree, I had it in my mind to find a better way for everyone. I felt as if I have devoted my whole life to prepare me for this point and I believe you all will be satisfied with the product. (See also Justin's Journey and Testimonials)
What makes Wellness Revolution 101 any different from other quick self instruction applications? It’s built on the same concepts as all my predecessors, however, like Google, I realized that there were ways to simplify concepts, make the exercises quick, efficient, and applicable in daily life. It’s made to be easy and to memorable, with little to no aid needed. But I do plan on providing as much description or visuals as necessary. If you have some sort of ache and pain to alleviate and/or goal in mind to achieve and is one who is time consumed, give this a shot. I’ll be disappointed if you let this creative work pass by. Let me preface this, as in my disclaimer, that I DO recommend you see a professional before you start with my programs. You should not self-diagnose anything.
This site is made and developed by one of you…for all of you dreamers and free thinkers. Don’t ever give up your quest for a better solution!
Let’s begin!
