ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS

1. Motor Learning can be integrated into ACL Rehab at any stage as it’s a specific change in the commands.

2. Adult neurogenesis and synaptogenesis, along with natural brain food intakes, can improve your cerebral functions and outcomes. It will improve your quality of life.

3. Identify and eliminate as many DIMS and SIMS as you can for managing pain.

4. A Multimodal Intervention approach comprising dance therapy has been known to boost the patient’s coordination in many different pathologies and hence alleviate the fear of falling while walking.

5. Tendon neuroplastic training is an idea of doing strength-based loading as an essential stimulus for the tendon and muscle, improves motor control by reducing cortical inhibition and normalizing excitability. 

Who are we?
Well, we can run all around in circles claiming the usual “evolution hackers, growth builders, or new age therapists and evidence-based practitioners.”

We could be suffering from Imposter Syndrome day in and out, but here we proudly can say and reflect that we are what we portray ourselves to the world. The PhysioZest’s pilot edition is everything you would have never read before ( well, that’s an overhype). Certain main focus arenas target the student population where we talk about sports science, Education in Germany, and how sports being a popular option is still not explored by graduates to its full potential. Clinical topics revolving around nuances of Osteoarthritis hit the right note when one can go through the mind maps and algorithms mentioned in the graphics. 

Now when the whole PT Community does show some interest in Pain Science, we decided. This was it! We need to get some real-time/fiction stories to project actual pain science usage in clinical practice, and that’s how we conceived The Fibromyalgia Story.

We have integrated topics that help the therapist grow as a whole, circadian rhythm and brain food. These two topics beautifully compliment each other and have profoundly impacted how many people look at food and their brain health in general. 

A similar take is also executed in our magazine vision, where we get on board practitioners from other fields to help us understand their domains and their impact on patients.  How Chiropractors are a part of the healthcare system and how they are closely knit in our web!

This edition has been close to my heart as it has pushed all of the team members to their ultimate boundaries to get everything executed from whatever you see on The PhysioZest, but what counts: has this magazine’s vision or articles created any impact on you?

Are you pondering on it? Are you curious to dive in deep and create a better community? Well, these are rhetorics, and we believe rhetorics are the future of communication builders. You ask how? Well, that needs no answers too!

See you on the other side.
