Hello. This is the Beach Barbell podcast. I'm Nick Marki, physical therapist and trainer at Beach Barbell in Wilmington, North Carolina. It's Thursday, October 24th, 2019 today's question is, can words hurt you? I'm speaking in the context of health care, physical therapy, the medical field, doctors, chiropractors, physical therapists, acupuncturists, massage therapists, nurses, anyone seen with some sort of authority in health and medical and wellness.

People will often take the words that they hear from them as being perhaps the end all be all of the situation without realizing that that provider or clinician is a human being and human beings are not always correct. And oftentimes people won't look at it like a situation where you're just receiving advice and you need to perhaps get advice from other clinicians or people to balance the different pros and cons and ideas and see how those fit in to your life.
