Learning the Lund ZenShuk Approach is important:

Therapists strive to improve patients’ mobility. The mind and body are not isolated entities, they collaborate to create mobility. We (therapists) must understand the mind as well as the body, to improve mobility.

If therapists are to be known as the experts in assessing and treating musculoskeletal movement we must be educated and knowledgeable on how the mind and body respond to stress, physical injury, chronic pain, and emotional trauma. We need to look beyond our own narrow focus in science if we want to be experts. To effectively and ethically practice evidence based medicine we must be able to integrate research evidence from all of the sciences such as epigenetics, psychoneuroimmunlogy, quantum physics, and health psychology.

The best way to understand pain and injury is to draw on personal experiences as learning experiments in order to enhance the connection between therapist and patient. The better the connection, the more the therapist will be able to empower patients to achieve their goals.

Self-care, self-awareness, and self-development are crucial in becoming an expert in musculoskeletal movement. If you have a good relationship with your musculoskeletal, central and autonomic nervous systems, along with a concrete understanding of how they work together to create movement, you will be prepared to expertly assess and improve your patients’ mobility.
