Why Patients Keep Relapsing | Tom Swales PT | Part 2 | S2E10

Why do patients keep relapsing - even when treatment seems to be working? In Part 2 with Tom Swales PT, we go deeper into breathing, nervous system regulation, and why better outcomes come from better assessment - not more tools. Tom breaks down how something as simple as breathing can influence pain, performance, and recovery, and why many clinicians miss the real driver by focusing too quickly on symptoms. This conversation is really about thinking differently - using structured systems to improve clarity, consistency, and long-term results. In this episode, we cover: • why breathing is often overlooked in pain and performance • how nervous system regulation impacts outcomes • why chasing pain leads to recurring issues • how better assessment systems improve decision-making • the role of self-awareness in long-term recovery • how AMT helps clinicians organize their thinking • where rehab and movement education are heading This episode is for chiropractors, rehab professionals, and clinic owners who want to improve outcomes and build a more effective, structured approach to care. 📍 Connect with Tom Swales PT Free Training (AMT System): https://www.amtcertified.ca/apply--87d40 [https://www.amtcertified.ca/apply--87d40] AMT Certification: https://www.amtcertified.ca [https://www.amtcertified.ca] Website: https://www.amtcertified.ca [https://www.amtcertified.ca] Practice: COMPHYSIO+ Performance Wellness Podcast: Staying Relevant: The Future of Rehab & Performance Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tomswales [https://www.instagram.com/tomswales] YouTube: @Tommyswales LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tomswales [https://www.linkedin.com/in/tomswales] 🎙 Beyond Adjustments Podcast Presented by Cyber Adjustment 🚀 Brought to you by AI Local Boost http://AiLocalBoost.com [http://AiLocalBoost.com] Helping chiropractors improve visibility in local search and Google Maps through AI-powered optimization. 🎧 Produced by Clear-Cut Podcasting https://clearcutpodcasting.com [https://clearcutpodcasting.com] Support the show [https://www.patreon.com/BeyondAdjustments] podcast.cyberadjustment.com
