We are back with Part 2 of our deep dive into the signs of high-quality healthcare. If Part 1 was about setting the foundation (patient-centered care and red flags), Part 2 is about the process.

In this episode, We cover the final 7 points from the British Journal of Sports Medicine review. They explain why a 5-minute exam is a major red flag, why "feeling good" isn't a good enough measure of progress, and why blanket statements like "don't ever run again" are often just doctors covering their own assets.

In This Episode, We Cover:

• The "McDonald's vs. Steakhouse" Exam: Why a proper physical exam takes 30+ minutes, not 5.
• Outcome Measures: Why your provider should be tracking objective data (strength, range of motion, etc), not just asking "how does it feel?"
• Education vs. Dependence: Why a good provider teaches you to "fish" so you don't need them forever.
• The "Hardware vs. Software" Problem: Why surgery fixes the part, but rehab fixes the programming—and why skipping the latter leads to re-injury.
• Manual Therapy Myths: Why massage and adjustments are just a "window of opportunity" to do the real work.
• The "Don't Do That" Fallacy: A story about a client told never to bend down again, and why avoiding movement is often worse than the injury itself.
