so even after you read and absorb all this info, act like you don't know it all.
but try to ask questions that lead to discussions..
mainly use the knowledge to decide if a doc or PT or DC or any therapy they suggest is any good or not.

And self care is a big thing- no single MD, DC, PTor program plan will fix you all on it's own - you have to do the home work too.

all of this is spot-on

srsly learn about anatomy. its taken me a year (probably bc all the pain leaves me in total head fog) to even halfway understand the mechanics of any tos, much less, my own body
