My client Kelly just gave me this amazing analogy to describe the alliance between a client and a provider.

When you come to me for assistance, you’re inviting me into your boat (let’s call her Recovery). 

We each have an oar.

But I can’t do all the rowing. And I can’t row faster than you. 

I also can’t sit back and let you do all the work.

We’ll just go in circles and not get anywhere!

If we communicate and both contribute, we’ll get places!

I love this analogy because it really represents my approach to Physiotherapy. I’m here for you 100% but you have to be just as invested in order to really get real and lasting results.
