INSIGHT

Medical System Prioritizes Disease Maintenance

The medical system is largely a disease-maintenance system focused on symptoms rather than root causes.
Chronic, idiopathic pain often arises from accumulated lifestyle and environmental stressors, not single injuries.

ADVICE

Train Clients To Heal Themselves

Teach clients to self-manage so they no longer need frequent professional care.
Prioritize simple, accessible skills: food shopping, stretching, mobilization, and basic equipment use.

ANECDOTE

Return To Racing After Severe Neck Injury

Jockey Richard Dunwoody came to Paul after severe neck injury and atrophied arm, then returned to win the Triple Crown.
Chek used manual therapy, corrective exercise, and local practitioner referral to restore function.

How many times have you visited your doctor with a health problem like low back pain but have no idea how or why it happened (and neither does your doctor)?

Unfortunately, the world of conventional medicine is set up all too well to treat your symptoms, but never to get the root of the problem. In other words, one that favors (and profits) a dysfunctional medical system and not you.

In this very special solocast, Paul explains why applying an integrated approach like CHEK Life Process Alchemy to common health problems offers the best, safest and lasting solutions this week on Spirit Gym.
