Root2Being Philosophy
The essence of the authors' experience is transformed into a philosophy that provides structure to the process of identification, assessment, control and resolution of otherwise unsolvable cases of musculoskeletal pain.
The philosophy comprises 4 inter-related stages, as shown below:
 |
IDENTIFY the root cause behind your suffering |
So many of us look only to treating the symptoms that we forget to identify the cause behind our suffering. In the short term, it often seems easier to treat the symptoms with drugs, remedies or alternative therapies.
In the long term, however, time spent discovering the true root cause of our problems rewards us with far more significant and long-lasting health and well-being benefits. |
 |
CONTROL the cause of your suffering |
| By understanding the cause and effect relationship between the root cause and your existing symptoms, proper control of the underlying problem will result in a significant reduction and in some cases elimination of the related symptoms. Root2Being focusses on the identification and control of structural misalignments within the feet, and their effect on foot function during the gait cycle. |
 |
TRAIN your body whilst using the control mechanisms |
|
With the control measures in place, your body will adapt, but it will do so using the habits it already posesses. One of the most highly ingrained habits that can significantly impact on the ability of the body to recover is the way in which we move.
Abnormal foot function controls the development of movement as we grow up, so we are often unaware that how we actually move is not the most efficient. With foot function optimised, it is necessary to identify and break the old habits of movement and learn how to move with efficiency and poise.
This is most effectively achieved by learning the Alexander Technique. Once learnt, your long-term health and wellbeing will benefit from improved posture, a greater freedom and ease of movement, stronger core stability muscles and greater self-confidence. |

HEAL Ensure you give your body the best possible chance to heal itself |
By identifying and controlling your root cause, and re-training how you use your body, you have created a fantastic basis from which your body can heal itself. There are numerous activites and therapies you can use to aid your body through this process.
From choosing the right chair to establishing a personal eating plan that provides the right type of nutrition for your own unique biochemistry, there's something for everyone. |
