The Game of Life | w/Tom Foster

Holistic chiropractic approach @ 0:00

Tom explains his holistic approach to chiropractic treatment, assessing the whole person including their emotional state, lifestyle and underlying issues influencing their physical condition. He believes this leads to better outcomes than just focusing on the physical manipulation alone.

Importance of play for wellbeing @ 23:43

Tom discusses how play is essential for wellbeing but often neglected as adults. Regular fun activities help manage stress, boost mental clarity and energy levels. Both speakers agree society over-emphasizes work at the expense of play.

Learning to love all parts of yourself @ 35:40

True self-love requires embracing all aspects of oneself, however unpleasant. Tom shares his journey of overcoming self-doubt through inner child work and accepting previously disowned parts. Both agree this process is challenging but critical for wellness.

Owning your uniqueness as a practitioner @ 1:04:23

An elbow injury taught Tom to truly own his unique skills and stop comparing to others. Now he prioritises soft tissue work over manipulation, trusting his abilities instead of others' expectations. This realisation improved his practice and self-confidence.

Being present in each moment @ 1:11:15

For Tom, presence means feeling experiences as they unfold rather than getting caught in thoughts of past and future. Both acknowledge the difficulty yet importance of this practice for well-being, given humanity's tendency towards mental time-travel.
