Try to answer this question "What people need to know that I have learned about pain and therapy is...."
While this is more of a statement than a question I think I generally get it. But I want to clarify who "people" are in this project. Knowing your audience is important and "people" could be co-workers, patients, or some other group altogether.
"I did a small amount of web-based research, and what I found is disturbing"--Bob Morris
I know that the no links part was a challenge and almost goes against the thrust of most threads, but the reason is that it needs to be from you and your mind as you have digested it and now understand it.
This will hopefully give many different perspectives of very similar topics.
The idea had been in my mind for sometime and, to be honest, I am still figuring some of it out.
Let's start by saying that the intended audience is people in the "service" industry. By that I mean what Barrett refers to when he talks about serving vs. helping.
I hope to use this as tool to bring people who are on the edge of their various professions, Maybe questioning PT, or OT, or RMT, or hopefully someday Yoga mesodermalism so that they come to SS to learn. I don't know if that really narrows it down or not.
Thanks again for being "in". I am having trouble starting my own post. A little bit of fear showing:teeth:

Good idea, Byron.
If you are looking for those who were (or are) dissatisfied with what they were trained to do plus numerous unsatisfactory courses post-grad, I suspect there are many of them.
I was one such PT; but for me the 'transformation' was very easy.
More later after I compose a condensed version.
I'm in, may take a while to think through to get all the info in the brevity that is required (which I I hate (easier to just write without that limitation) but also like (great challenge to make each word and phrase of depth and breath))

All I can say is WOW!:thumbs_up:thumbs_up
I like your layout it is clear and boy does it cover a lot.
I think you are right. 2 paragraphs was arbitrary and I am taking that out now as it makes things a little too cramped. The main reason for the restriction (and maybe not necessary) was to try and get as many people as possible on one page. Perhaps that is governed by number of posts and not physical space? 400 words is the more important component though. I wanted to make it less but this is a complex topic and I wanted to be fair to those with a heap of things to say
You will need to edit a bit though. Currently you are 127 words over budget :teeth:. Back to the Samurai sword work

I have been thinking about this Jon, And I might revise this question. I would like to get the essence of what SomaSimple is about. In that I would HIGHLY recommend the ideas of Critical Thinking and Science. Things like Jason Silvernail talks about in his That Grinds My Gears
I will take suggestions on that one if anyone has a better way to phrase the question. Diane's post gets to a lot of SS in my opinion.

I need to stop doing stuff here in-between patients, or during my huge kitchen-reno.
Missed the whole purpose of the thread, used references (now deleted) and basically messed up.
Oh, well.
The post stands as is.
A statement to my presently limited observation and reading skills.
Diane and Tony - those are good.

I suppose it's easier to believe something than it is to understand it.

Your one-liner was good too, Bas. I reflected on it as I wrote mine.
Byron, I tried editing off line and just ended up with a longer piece/more words.
I'll try again later. I might not be able to shorten it without losing essential bits, so might have to ask for leniency yet again. :sad:
Great exercise though. Made me be succinct. As succinct as I'm ever capable of being, anyway.

Fun exercise and challenge to keep at 400 word mark and hit most relevent info.
I might have made a boo-boo in mine and quoted you sorta :embarasse
I know I did this boo-boo with more than just one person, so you did better than me Tony. I blame it on the exercise and not asking for links or reference articles.
