Proactive vs Reactive Healthcare
“Healthcare and fitness are starting to blend because people are realizing you cannot treat these two in isolation anymore.”
By Dr. Abby Dante, DC Published
What's the difference between reactive and proactive healthcare?
Dr. Abby draws the line between the two like this, in her reel on healthcare and fitness.
In the past
Reactive
In the past, healthcare was reactive. If you got hurt, you went and you got it fixed.
Fitness was more about performance and aesthetics.
Now
Proactive
Now there's a shift towards being more proactive.
People want to move well, feel good, and prevent injuries while they do it.
Why can't you treat pain in isolation?
You can't just treat somebody's pain in isolation without understanding their nutrition, their sleep, their recovery, and everything else that they do on a daily basis.
What does proactive care look like?
Whether you're sidelined due to pain or trying to maximize your performance with routine care, we are there to help.
You're not just fixing pain, you're building a body that can handle what you're asking of it long term.
Already hurt? Start with sports injury rehab. Two more of Dr. Abby's notes take the same idea further: why posture is learned, not permanent, and what to do if you're sore after every weekend.
