Why Does It Feel Like Our Healthcare System Is Failing Our Body?

I’m getting real about something that’s been on my heart for a long time: why it feels like our healthcare system is failing the human body—and what we can actually do about it.

As rehab professionals, we’ve been trained inside a system that’s reactive, not proactive. And while the human body is brilliantly designed to heal, adapt, and thrive, the traditional model we work in doesn’t support that brilliance—it suppresses it with symptom-based care, insurance codes, and temporary fixes.

In this conversation, I’m breaking down what’s missing in our rehab education, why stretching alone isn’t a long-term solution, and how true longevity care requires a completely different lens. We’ll talk about the MAP Protocol I developed, the difference between flexibility and healthy flexibility, and why it’s time to stop chasing symptoms—and start building real resilience.

Whether you’re a PTA, OT, COTA, or OTA, if you know your skills were meant for more than burnout and billing, this one’s for you.
