Episode 60: The Wrong Question

September 21

Episode Description

One of the most common questions I hear as a physiotherapist is:

"How many treatments does my insurance cover?"

After more than 15 years of practice, I've come to believe that it's the wrong first question.

Not because insurance doesn't matter—it absolutely does.

But because insurance is a funding source.

It is not a treatment plan.

In this episode, I share a pattern I've noticed over and over again in clinic. Some people allow their benefits calendar to determine when they stop investing in their health. Others ask a different question:

What does my body actually need to get back to the life I want to live?

That shift changes everything.

  • Why insurance coverage shouldn't determine your healing journey.

  • The difference between paying for appointments and investing in your future health.

  • The two paths I've witnessed over 15+ years as a physiotherapist.

  • Why the goal is never more treatment—it's more freedom.

  • How my own marathon injury changed the way I think about investing in recovery.

  • The hidden cost of accepting a smaller life because of pain, fear, or limitations.

  • Why prevention is one of the greatest investments we can make.

  • A simple question that can completely change the way you approach your health.

Nobody dreams of spending money on physiotherapy.

We dream about what it allows us to do.

Running with our kids.

Traveling without pain.

Picking up our grandchildren.

Skiing.

Hiking.

Sleeping well.

Laughing without leaking.

Living freely in our bodies.

That's what we're investing in.

Not appointments.

Possibility.

So maybe the wrong question isn't:

"How many treatments do I have left?"

Maybe the better question is:

"What kind of life am I trying to live?"

Because once you know the answer to that, every decision starts to look a little different.

Don't let a benefits calendar become the thing that determines the size of your life.
