LTAP™ Core Beliefs
This episode of the Unreal Results Podcast mainly focuses on the LTAP™ core beliefs that intertwine the significance of organ hierarchy, treatment sequence, and listening to the body in practice as allied health professionals. But also, I get real with you about my recent free course, Results Cheat Code, the difficulties in online course education, and dealing with more practice trolls.

Considering the viscera as a source of musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction is a great way to ensure a more true whole body approach to care, however it can be a bit overwhelming on where to start, which is exactly why I created the Visceral Referral Cheat Sheet. This FREE download will help you to learn the most common visceral referral patterns affecting the musculoskeletal system. Download it at www.unrealresultspod.com

Anna Hartman: Hey there, and welcome. I'm Anna Hartman, and this is Unreal Results, a podcast where I help you get better outcomes and gain the confidence that you can help anyone, even the most complex cases. Join me as I teach about the influence of the visceral organs and the nervous system on movement, pain, and injuries, all while shifting the paradigm of what whole body assessment and treatment really looks like.
I'm glad you're here. Let's dive in.
Hello, hello, and welcome to another episode of the Unreal Results Podcast. I forgot my adapter for my computer to plug in a microphone, so we're on the old, uh, old school Apple headphones. This is the beauty about, um, the editing software I use. Shout out, shout out Descript. There is a studio sound edit on it and it cleans up audio very well.
So I don't doubt that it will be good, but if this episode sounds a little off from other ones, that's why. I'm traveling and, um, thought I brought what I needed and didn't, such is life. So, um, whoo, if you've been keeping up with all the podcast episodes, bless you, because I know I dropped a lot last week.
I did the replays of the two results cheat code live calls, which is like about three hours of. listening. And then the phenomenal episode with Dr. Nicole Cozean, um, which was longer than I normally would do. It's like, I think it was an hour and 20 minutes, but it was just such a great conversation. Didn't want it to end.
We could have talked for even longer. Um, so yeah, so that's four and a half hours of Podcast episodes really that dropped last week, so I'll try my best to keep this rather short, though. We all know that I have a hard time doing that when I say it's gonna be short. So I was also kind of thinking like what I wanted to talk about.
And um, so I'm recording this on Monday. It'll come out on Wednesday. Wednesday will be, we'll be in the middle of the ltap level one online course. Um, launch or open. Doors open to the public. So the Online course starts April 29th, which is on a Monday So there is five days like Tuesday through Saturday, basically that it's open to the public to enroll and So that's kind of like where I'm at where I've been and so my you know, and I just taught in person live LTAP and I just finished the results sheet code, which went awesome.
And actually, that is a little bit of what I wanted to talk about. It's just the nature of online courses and, like, free courses too. So, I had 700 people sign up for this round of the results sheet code. It's a free course, so that's why a lot of people signed up. enroll and I, and I bring people in for like, I mean, I'm, I think I opened it up like three weeks before it starts.
So, you know, some people sign up like at the very beginning, you know, whether they are still as excited about it. When they sign up is when it starts. I have no idea. But the nature of, um, free education like that is, I mean, I am guilty of it myself, like signing up for a free class or even a class I'm like super interested in and it's free.
Or even if it costs some money and it's online, I just don't do it. Um, unless I like make a point to show up live. And so even some people are like, Oh my gosh, I can't believe you had 700 people. And first of all, it's not my biggest launch. It's not my biggest amount of people have been signed up for the results.
You go, I think the last round I had like just under 990. So like almost a thousand people, I had a lot more people come in from ads the last time. Um, but anyways, what the challenge is, is getting those people to actually get in the course. Engage in the course and do the work. So I wanted to, I shared with my email list, not the whole list, but the, all the people in the course.
Um, I was like, you know, of the 700 people who signed up about 60 of those emails and people signed up were bad emails, you know, like you write your email and you have a typo and so you don't actually ever get the course material because you typed in the wrong email address. So, first lesson, make sure you pay attention to what you're doing when you're signing up for things like that.
Um, so, of the six hundred and like, then forty or six hundred and thirty, um, I guess it was like six, I don't know, six sixty was the final number that was like getting emails from me. Of those amount of people, only 282 of those people actually started the course. And then of the 282 people, 190, basically 189, 190 of them got at least 50 percent through the course in the week.
You know, I gave people 7 days to get through the 5 day course, 6 day course. I guess I gave 8 days. I gave, it opened on Sunday and it closed on Sunday. So, 8 days. And, um, uh, yeah, so, uh, and 105 people actually fully 100 percent completed the course. So, That's something to keep in mind, too, is if you are the type of person that does the online courses, like, kudos to you, because the majority of the people who sign up for stuff like that don't actually end up even opening it or doing it, especially with the group.
And, um, so why do I say that when I'm also trying to get people in my online course is because I actually truly don't want you in the online course if you're not going to actually do the course stuff. I mean, I guess, you know, it's your call. You can sign up and pay for whatever you want. Um, doesn't make a difference to me, but I really, this work is like life changing.
It's career trajectory changing. It's paradigm shifting, like mind blowingly, like will challenge your way of thinking and your beliefs. Um, I believe in it so much that that's also why I'm like, man, I want people in the course that are going to do it and, um, I want to help people through the course and like, that's my whole goal this whole week of the results sheet code was like, what are the things I can do to help people get through the course, you know, you know, I've changed my teaching style.
I've like pulled out a lot of content in order to like, keep the focus. And the intent and the practicality of it really doable. And that's the same thing I do in the LTAP level one course. And it's just, um, yeah, it's like I email every day, which, you know, on one side it's annoying to get so many emails, but on the other side, it's like, it is a good reminder to log in, that kind of thing.
So, you know, kudos to you. For being the person that does the work. On top of that, as part of the reason, just a small part of the reason why I have in person courses now, is because, if you're like me, you don't love online learning. But, I will say, what makes the course better is the online learning component, and combining the two.
It is so much easier to consume a lot of information online, on your own timeline. You know, even kind of in this style as a podcast, like playing some of the videos, like just in the background, and then also having lifetime access to the videos is like, so cool because then it takes the pressure off. In an in person course to have to learn everything and remember everything and pick up things.
And so I definitely, it's not like, this is not all about like how online learning sucks. It's actually the opposite. It's like how online learning, how amazing it is, how cool it is. I will never not do some form of online learning to support my in person classes. Um, also like just reaching so many people, but, um, Why I'm bringing it up is just, you know, it seems super accessible.
It seems really, um, easy, but it still takes a big commitment, right? Online learning sometimes takes even more commitment and they go showing up to an in person course, but that's also like men, like getting mentored, like getting better, becoming a better clinician takes a lot of work. That's why the majority of people out there don't do it.
Um, which is why there's a lot of mediocre or average practitioners out there, is because getting better is hard and it takes time and it takes commitment and it takes sacrifice and dedication and motivation and so um, I bring this all up just because it's on my mind, but also like if you were in the results sheet code and you Opened it up and you you know, whether you got through the whole course or not Is it you know, if you took the time to even do like a quarter of it like good for you Like that is amazing.
So hopefully You're interested in the LTAP level one course as well. The online course, like I said, is open. If you want to ever get certified in the LTAP, you need both the online course and an in person course in order to sit for the exam. So, yeah, I would not love to have you in. Um, and so really what I want to talk about on the rest of the podcast
I could just, well, part of me is like, should I just do a podcast of like telling you what's on my mind and like what's been going on or should I actually have a theme? But I'm going to have a theme, but I'm also going to start with a little bit of what's on my mind. So, as I was, um, getting people in the results cheat code, because what we're actually going to talk about today, We are going to talk about the LTAP.
We're going to talk about the core beliefs of the LTAP. Course, the LTAP level 1 course. The core beliefs that I share with people when they get into the LTAP level 1. Because these core beliefs are, it's almost kind of like the learning objectives. Because all of these core beliefs that we operate off of are going to be what you sort of prove to yourself.
Within the LTAP Level 1 experience, whether it's in the online course, or the in person course, or really both. So there is, we are talking about something today. This is not just me riffing. But, it's just interesting because it's on my mind. And so, when I was getting people in the doors to the results sheet code, I didn't think my ads were doing well.
That's a whole nother business topic on itself. So I turned my ads off and cause I was like, I don't want to waste money if I'm not getting the people that I want to get in the door. And so I was like, you know what? I'm just going to go old school style and just work on like organic leads from Instagram and friends and that kind of thing.
So, um, I started posting a little bit more on Instagram and I did this, um, real, which was a video of me doing a hip mobility, like a Mulligan hip mobilization with a hip strap. And I basically on the real life, I said, I actually, to be honest, this was like, I, I'm late, like, I'm not, I don't want to say I'm lazy.
I'm just like really overextended right now with other work in my life, um, athlete work and, um, So, I actually used an old social media post, um, like a year or two ago, I had a static picture post about hip internal rotation, and how I, how, A better way to go about doing specific type of treatment to improve hip or internal rotation other than the more traditional way of doing like a mulligan mob.
Well, I wanted to reuse the caption, but I wanted to do it in a reel because obviously Instagram is like pushing rules right now. So, and I have this video from my last, one of my last photo shoots my photographer took of me, of me doing a hip mobilization strap. Thing on my one of my athletes and so I use the Caption I had already used before on this reel and then the the writing on the reel said basically like I You know, it basically was pain.
I'll even pull it up because now I know I you know, I want it to be accurate But the reel said, I stopped using this technique to improve hip internal rotation years ago. There's a much more effective way. Read the caption. And then the caption was just like all about how important restoring internal rotation at the hip is for everyone, how good they feel after.
But then here are some other ways to do it. And I talked about all the visceral ways, like treating the kidney, treating the liver, improving pelvic mobility, decreasing the outflare and tugging your butt, treating pelvic organs, um, freeing up restrictions at the tib-fib joint, um, restoring space under the inguinal ligament, um, and around the obturator canal.
So like all these things, right. And then I was like, you know, if you want to start learning this different lines of view, like. Sign up for the results sheet code. So this, this reel ended up going like, mini viral I guess, like for me viral. And it has like, I just looked, it has over like 50, 000 views. A ton of comments, a ton of, um, likes.
Well, so the other reason it went, it did really well is I put a many chat, um, automation on it. And I basically, it was like, you know, comment ready if you want in the results sheet code and I'll send you the link. And so a lot of people commented because it was a free course, right? And so it has a lot of comments, got a lot of shares.
So the other day, so this reel has been doing good. So I changed the caption to reflect the LTAP level one course. Now that the results sheet code is. Done. And, um, so I can send people the link to the courses. And anyways, um, I, I've gotten like, I don't know, I've probably gotten like three or 400 new followers just from this reel.
And, um, and they all seem to be like physical therapists and athletic trainers and stuff, which is cool. I always, I do keep an eye on that because I want to keep my audience like specific to like who I'm talking to, just kind of like the podcast here. Anyways, this physio from.
And I was like, Oh, I don't even know if it was a man or a woman doesn't really matter. Their comment was, Hey, they said, Hey, nice page, great page. Can I ask what license you have to use a mobilization strap? And I was like, that's a weird question. Like that's weird. And when I first read it, I'm like, this person is a troll.
But at least they are courteous enough to send me a message instead of leave it in the comments. So, I'll write back. I'll pretty much write back to anybody. And, um, also, I said, okay, I looked at their profile. I'm like, okay, a physio from Greece, like, they probably don't even know what an athletic trainer is.
Because their athletic trainers don't exist in other, in a lot of other countries. Like, if at all. And so I wrote back, and I said, oh, hey, Thanks for reaching out. Um, I do have a license to do this. I'm a certified athletic trainer, which is an allied healthcare practitioner. I was like, I was like, I know you don't have that in your country.
It's like as close as you can get to like a sports physio, um, in Europe. And, um, I was like, but in the United States, it's like, kind of like a combination of a physical therapist. Um, but then also like does illness like, and emergency care, like a physician's extender. I was like, so I actually have a rather large scope of practice, which also does include manual therapy and using mobilization straps.
And then they wrote me back again and they're like, You're not qualified to do that. Only physiotherapists are. In my country, this would not be allowed. You're exposing yourself to litigations. And then they blocked me. Or reported me, I'm not really sure, but I couldn't access their profile anymore.
Granted, too, this person had like 50 followers or something like that. Not very many. The trolls never have very many followers. Not that that matters, but it's just always funny. And it was just so annoying. And this is why I hate when, like, reels go viral because the type of people you get are not your people.
And, um, why am I even sharing this with you? One, because it's on my mind and it annoyed the shit out of me. Um, because I was also, like, Oh, and they also said that I was claiming to be a physical therapist and that was fraudulent. I was like, I literally never claimed to be a physical therapist. If anything, I'm the first person to always correct my athletes when they call me a physical therapist.
Whenever anybody refers to me as one, I always correct them. I am first to always tell people that I'm an athletic trainer because I think it's important, um, just to not be misrepresented. And it was just so funny because, um, last week, Nicole and I were talking about it and she had, uh, you know, asked that question about what.
People thought or what was my response to people are like, Oh, but she's an athletic trainer. I can't learn anything from her. And I was just like, so funny. It was so funny that clearly this person was triggered. Clearly I. offended them because they must use the hip mobilization stretch ever, no for a lot.
And you know, it's funny too, even in the whole caption, the whole post, I never said not to use the strap. I said, I haven't used it in years for that specific thing. I obviously still have one because I used it in the video and I do use it for that purpose occasionally, but it's just funny what people read in.
When they see things on Instagram. And then also like, if you're not posting, you might not understand this, but it is very difficult to take a 11 second reel and make it educational and entertaining and also unique to you and your audience. Like group of people you're speaking to and so it's like ah So frustrating, but anyways, I only share that with you to be like people are wild on the internet And if you are sharing your thoughts on the internet, first of all, please continue to we need more of that in the world um Because we need less of that person being rude in the world.
So again, I don't even know why I'm sharing this other than it was on my mind. And it made me laugh. Oh, and I think so sometimes when I get comments like that, especially if it's compared, not compared, especially if I get comments like that, and then my own athletes are having injuries or dealing with something that I'm having a hard time with, or they're having a hard time with, or.
Whatever, um, man, it makes me question everything you question myself, which is so silly. And I'm so grateful for teaching everyone in the results cheat code because at the same time this was happening, I was getting feedback from. You know, a hundred plus people about how great the course was and what phenomenal results they were getting.
Holy cow. I don't know if you saw any of the results I posted on Instagram, but man, that's my favorite part of the week is at the end of the week when people post their cases. Holy cow. This work is so magical and this can get help you so much and it just really fuels me So I guess my whole point with that is like I love the results you code.
It's been a really fun week though tiring And, um, the people who go through it, good for you for making the commitment and getting the results. And thank you for sharing it with me because that really does, like, fuel my soul and it fuels my passion for sharing this. And it makes me so happy. It, so when I interact with people like that on the internet, it makes me pay less attention to it and, um, irritates me less.
So, um, I guess that's why I'm sharing that one because it was a good, like, it was just a story. Like I sometimes feel like my podcast is like me talking to my friend, so. There's a story I would have shared with a friend. Okay, so now here we, here's the problem. Now it's like 20 minutes in and I haven't even talked about what I wanted to talk about.
So, I mean, Joe, if you want to clip any of that out to make it shorter, use your best judgment, uh, use your best judgment for the people. Anyways, so the LTAP level one, let's talk about the core beliefs. So the core beliefs of the LTAP level one are Number one or maybe not number one, but one of the core beliefs is that
The SI joint is like the, a great test to be a whole body test, to look at the whole body. The SI, also, the SI joint moves, it should move for that whole body function. And its influence, its mobility and function is influenced by every system in the body. The visceral, the neural, everything. In the musculoskeletal and so that's why it is a great area to use as a traffic cop So that's the same core belief that the results cheat code was then the next core belief is the tool you use The tool or technique you use for treatment matters less than being in the right spot so that's what it's all about figuring out how to be in the right spot and um Then, the next core belief is that the more specific and precise you can be with where that spot is, the better results you'll get, and the easier it is to then pick said tool or technique.
That's where your skill set comes in, of like me having a skill set of knowing visceral manipulation and neural manipulation, I can get a very precise and specific treatment technique in a very It's precise and specific spot. So when I can narrow down using the entire LTAP, like that, the body's protecting the right bronchus, I can then do a very specific assessment and treatment on the right bronchus, but just us getting to the right bronchus, right side of the chest and starting treatment on the right side of the chest, it might just be general cupping or general massage.
It might just be a stretch. It might be regular. Self massage it might just be like tapping, it could be Rib mobility. Literally could be anything like that's going to be really good, get really good results and the other, um, another core belief of the LTAP level one course based on that is also that we need to do, we need to figure out the sequence of treatment.
So every time we do a treatment we reassess and we still have the body direct us where we need to go And so what it unveils is this very unique treatment sequence for the patient in front of us and not just for the patient in front of us like that person, but that person on that day and I think that might be all the core beliefs Oh, the other core beliefs and I don't have it like listed in the manual.
So if you've taken the LTAP level one already, this might be a new, technically a new core belief because, um, it wasn't written down, but it's always something we talked about is like the body. We listened to the body using orthopedic tests with osteopathic principles and In order for this to be a good test and give us information, right?
To allow us to truly listen to the body. What makes a good test is something that has the ability to change. This is why the SI joint, this is why we use the SI joint as like the primary, the first LTAP test is because The SI joint mobility test is a good test on most people. There are incidences that it's not a good test, so then we don't use it.
But it's a good test because movement occurs there, but not too much. So it doesn't leave a whole lot of room for interpretation. And there, since there is movement there, it has the ability to change. And so we talk about this concept a lot through the courses, is like what makes a good test is something that has the ability to change.
So oftentimes when we're trying to figure out what organ it is, um, we're challenged with finding a good test to communicate that to us. And so it's like, you got to get creative sometimes, um, in what orthopedic tests you choose. And that's other thing that is like, I think really cool, but people have a challenge within the course is that means you can use any orthopedic tests you want with these osteopathic principles to get you to listen to the body, to figure out what organ it is.
Or even what scar or what tattoo it is, right? And this is, these are the inhibition tests we're talking about. So that's, um, another one of the core beliefs. And I feel like I'm missing some one. Oh, the other core belief that I'm missing, but is one we've talked about many times on the podcast. We talked about it last week.
We, I talked about it a lot and it's obviously a core belief of the class is that there is an organ hierarchy that the body has. And that organ hierarchy is based on just the anatomy of how we're set up. And that's also how the LTAP is set up. It's set up in this organ hierarchy, so we don't have to waste our time testing things that it's never going to be, because some organs are just more important than the others.
But with this said, just because some organs are more important than the others, it doesn't mean It's not a default or we would just treat it first, right? So because some people are like, well, if the central nervous system is queen, right? It's the most important thing. It makes sense. It's in the most closed container anatomically of our body.
So the body is telling us that it's queen, that it's most important. Most people would be like, well, can't I just always start with central nervous system? As a treatment and I'm like, well, you could, and don't get me wrong. If you do, you're probably, you know, it's probably going to be helpful, but it would be more helpful if we just started with the body.
Um, directed us because yes, our organ hierarchy matters, but what's more important from organ hierarchy in terms of sequencing is the. Organisms, protective pattern hierarchy and the layers. And so this concept I, I speak about, and if you listen to the results, she code replays on the podcast, you heard me talk about like this concept of like an onion, like we basically have like all of these protection patterns, because what makes us really cool, um, Really amazing actually is our ability to compensate and our ability to compensate is basically like every time we compensate for something It's like another layer of the onion getting added to us.
And so These layers of the onions are these protection patterns that every time we start the LTAP and we figure out where the body is protecting, it's the most outer layer of the onion. And so we, we do one treatment, we pull back that layer, and then now we have these other layers. And so these layers of protection pattern, that's the hierarchy in which we treat.
May or may not be the same as our organ hierarchy, our organ hierarchy allows us to understand prioritization in the body and the reason for protective patterns in general and, and the organization of the LTAP. So the way the LTAP tests are set up is the first test is like a traffic cop. It's a quick, quick and dirty test to be like.
The protection patterns in the viscera or the, or the nervous system, figure out where, or the protection pattern is in the peripheral nervous system, figure out where, or there's no protection pattern at this time right now that the body is not concerned with, just do whatever you want. Because the other thing that is important to realize is there's protection patterns all over the body all the time.
But sometimes the body is dealing with it better, right? They're in that. Compensation mode. And this is another sort of like mindfuck a little bit of like this idea that compensation actually isn't bad. The thing that is bad is when we lose the ability to compensate, when we lose the ability to compensate, these layers of protection patterns become more significant when we are able to compensate, we're like doing great.
And this again, like, you know, I always share the story about how the Verall Institute, when they said the muscles of the garbage can of the body, I laughed at it at first, but then after a while, I, I found myself like really offended by it because My whole belief system, the whole way I viewed the human experience, the human organism was through movement and muscles and joints.
And so, that like deeply offended me and then the next statement that they had made that sort of had a similar effect on me was this idea of compensation, because up in that context, Up until that point too, I was living in this sort of Shirley Sahrmann movement impairment syndrome, like lens of view and this like Ray Cook lens of view of, um, movement compensation, movement dysfunction was bad.
Like that's what we taught at Exos for years. I mean, I feel like the majority of people in sports medicine still teach that is that they're, you know, that the problem, you know, the thing that's creating the pain or the injury is like, uh, Leaky, you know, an energy leak or a movement inefficiency, uh, because of a movement compensation or a movement dysfunction.
And so this idea of that, the compensation compensating in general was not bad. It's actually what makes us very resilient was in. Was like, Ooh, really challenged this deeply held belief I had about compensation in general. And so that is a concept that you have to work through quite a bit in the, in the courses.
And, but then it, I realized it made really a lot of sense because when I look at my work with professional athletes versus like the occasional, like normal people I work with, and people are always asked what the difference is. Right. Between athletes and regular people. And I would say in general, the athletes have a greater, a greater capacity for compensation than non athletes do, and they can get away with a lot and, and it may, once I, Kind of accepted that too made so much sense because I really did used to kind of reflect back in the day of like man Basketball players, especially when they came to see me they are movement dysfunction real bad a lot of them but on the court they move so beautifully and Also, oftentimes they're like pain like their knee pain their Achilles pain their hip pain their back pain shoulder pain Whatever it is whatever pain would feel better and the movement compensation would still be there.
And so I did have this internal struggle. A lot of times it was like, that doesn't make sense. And so when I, when I heard this, that quote from John Pierre about compensation, it finally was like, ah, that makes so much sense. That makes so much sense. We have this ability like this is loss of ability to compensate.
And so, you know, this goes back to that onion kind of concept that I was talking about is just like throughout our lifetime. We become a pretty thick onion and that's a good thing. And sometimes through treatment. We're just. You know, taking some layers off and making things light again, or more resilient.
So, those are the main core beliefs of the LTAP. And, and I wanted to share them, and I'm sure if you've been listening to me for a while, these are not new concepts, I talk about them all the time. Um, but I always lay that out in the first day of the LTAP courses, because it's like our standard operating procedure of
that we're using through the scientific process. And so the scientific process is like having a belief and then creating a model that tests our beliefs to see if it holds up or not. And that's, so that's sort of what I always tell people is like, okay, here are the core beliefs of the class. It's like the learning objectives.
Really the core beliefs of the LTAP level one are those things. And then now, I want to teach you assessments and give you space to practice the assessments so you can see for yourselves that these core beliefs are true, instead of just taking my word for it. I never wanted you to take my word for it.
And this is also, whenever I say this about taking my word for it, I'm like, Damn, I really need to remember, like, I need to go back and watch the movie Tommy Boy and memorize the quote that he uses. Is that Tommy Boy? Or is it black sheep? No, it's Tommy Boy. Um, the quote that he uses, Chris Farley, when he's like trying to sell the brake pads, and he's talking about like, taking the butcher's word for it, and he messes it up, and it's kind of funny.
Um, this is the moment in every class that I'm like, Oh, I really need to remember that quote. So, maybe LTAP coming up, Online or in person, I'll have done that homework. Anyways, so yes, so throughout the weekend, or throughout the six weeks, this is what I challenge people to do. Like, this is, this is the, actually the hardest part of the education.
It's not the exercises. Or the interventions. It's not the assessment. It's not even finding a good test. It's not understanding the visceral anatomy. It is the cognitive dissonance that happens when we're challenging these deeply held beliefs, and we're learning and we're seeing these core beliefs. In action for ourselves and literally having to question everything we've done up until that point, and it can be a really uncomfortable experience.
And I think I shared this after the Arizona course, but it's like, in a 2 day course, it's like day 1 is everybody's great until the end of the day. And then they are like, What the fuck just happened and then Sunday, we start at what the fuck just happened and we build ourselves up to the end of the weekend where people are like, this is amazing.
I can't wait to practice. And so in the six weeks, it's a little bit harder. I'd say the six weeks alone, it's a little bit harder because it's, You know, we're doing it one chunk at a time and so in some sense the slowness allows you to like Rumble with that cognitive dissonance but also sometimes the slowness allows us to sort of just Slide back into status quo slide back into our comfortableness and not Dance, not be in that rumble with the cognitive dissonance.
And so that's something important. And this is like, this is why I encourage people to use Voxer and reach out to me for like the actual mentorship piece, because the mentorship piece is helping you through this cognitive dissonance of this change in this period, like this paradigm shift in this change of thinking.
So that's where the real learning, that's where the real growth and like, results in like professional development. That's where it is when it, when it comes to this course, it's in that rumble with your cognitive dissonance, when you're changing the paradigm and when you're open to seeing it in real time, in your patients, right in front of you each day, proving these core release, improving, That when you use osteopathic principles with orthopedic tests, it's just this wonderful combination that allows you to truly listen to the body and let the body guide the, uh, whole healing experience as it should.
So that's it. 40 minutes. I mean, I wrapped it up pretty good. I tied it all together. Um, thank you for being here. I really appreciate you all and, um, we'll see you next week.
