Being Proactive, not Reactive, with your Health to Improve Athletic Performance

Most of us only seek medical professionals when we are sick or injured (reactive). It is natural for us to look for help when we are in need. The truth is our health care paradigm is built on that model! According to Drs. Jordre and Viviers that is the exact opposite of the most efficient health care model. They assert that we should be working with medical professionals before we become sick or get injured, (proactive) thereby reducing the likelihood of needing to be reactive.
