Come on in to get well, stay well and live better lives

Motivation.

What motivates a person? Well it could be one of two things. Pain avoidance or  pleasure seeking. Pain avoidance certainly works very effectively for short term things as with Pavlov’s dog but the truth is that humans forget pain very quickly and so the fear subsides. So Pain avoidance and fear is a weak motivator. Pleasure seeking is a good motivator because a person will put up with a fair amount of pain in order to get the pleasure. When pleasure is achieved once it is well remembered the desire to achieve it again can be huge.

It is the motivation of pleasure seeking that we attempt to use in our practice. We draw a picture of what a healthier life might look like and show you ways of achieving it. This is why our motto is “We help people to get well, stay well and live better lives.” Come on in and get your assessment so that you and your family can live a better life.
