Nate started Sorum Physiotherapy as his way of delivering optimal patient results. He feels that today’s medical system does a great job in many areas, but all too often, the confines of clinician time and productivity result in merely treating a patient’s body parts and not the whole person.
Gray Cook, an internationally renowned Physical Therapist, uses an example of a camera when evaluating human pain and movement: when looking through a camera you can focus on small areas, but if the camera is zoomed in too close to the painful part, the full picture is missed.
If a complete picture is never visualized because of this narrow view, many factors affecting their condition are missed. Being able to get a full grasp on the individual’s problem requires listening first, a thorough evidence-based physical examination and then connecting the dots between the patient’s symptoms and the findings of the examination. This often results in correcting simple dysfunctions in adjacent areas of the body that play a critical role in the problem that the patient may not even be aware of.
Nate loves learning and refining rehabilitation techniques and strategies, but equally enjoys refining the art of effective communication with his patients. Nate is driven to mastery of his craft to improve other people’s lives so that they can pursue their higher purposes.
Nate feels truly blest to have found his true calling in life which is serving others through providing the best rehabilitation possible. He rejects the status quo in the medical field. The human body has remarkable healing and adapting potential and huge changes happen routinely when approached with an open-minded, hardworking, optimistic mindset from the patient and clinician.
Nate is accountable to each one of his patients. He is grateful for the privilege to work with and learn from each treatment session. Each day of life is a gift, don’t waste it. Live life to the fullest.
