The Key to Better Health

The key to improving in any facet of your life is simple. Easy? No. Ask any athlete, any bodybuilder, any chess master, language learner, or top salesman in his field. The key to improvement is one word - consistency - and it can be applied to improving your health as well.

The patients that get better the fastest are usually the most motivated. They want to do more things at home, they want to know how many times per week they need to come into the office for treatment, etc. However, more is not always the answer but consistency is. Can you commit to 5 minutes of directed exercises per day? Can you commit to coming to your appointment each time and on time? Can you commit to avoiding the activities that are aggravating your pain? Consistency is what drives the outcome that you desire.

Consistency is also not perfection. You are not chasing the perfect diet, the perfect exercise routine, or even the perfect treatment protocols. Just doing something small each day so that you can beat the person you were the day before by being 1% better. Cliche? Definitely, but it works. Be consistent in driving the outcome you desire on your health journey.
