Today, we have more technology than ever before and we have more doctors, physical therapists and nutritionists than ever before. Figures on degenerative (and Preventable) diseases show that rates are skyrocketing. The state of health today is a definite sign that something is wrong with the current approach of the medical field -- which is to treat the symptom, not finding the origin of the symptoms. Our healthcare system is reactive and not proactive!
The good news is that there is a trend toward alternative methods of gaining health.
One of the current problems in the field of musculoskeletal therapy is the isolation approach. If someone injures a knee, the doctor works on the knee. Instead, they should determine if there is an imbalance elsewhere in the body or kinetic chain that led to the injury to the knee.
ISOLATION = SPECIALIZATION and the body doesn't work that way. Each piece of the body fits together neurologically, chemically, mentally and physically. But none of these exist independent of the other. They always participate in functionality as a group. Treatment should encompass these same principles.
