The Road to Optimization

In every health field there is a movement toward wholeness and optimization. Over the last few decades we have moved from an emphasis on treatment, to an emphasis on prevention, and now finally to an emphasis on optimization.

   - Treatment
   - Prevention
   - Optimization

A decade ago the emphasis was treatment. Physical therapists, psychologists, and nutritionists focused on fixing you when you were broken. Physical therapists worked on getting you out of pain and helped you heal your injuries. Psychologists helped you out of depression and anxiety. Nutritionists gave you diet plans to manage your diabetes and heart disease. For many of these professionals, this is still their primary focus. And that's fine. We need experts who can fix us when we're broken.

Then there was a large movement toward prevention. The focus was now on intervening early enough to stop you from breaking. Notice that the focus of both treatment and prevention is on how broken you are, how you need to be fixed, and how to keep you from breaking. Either way, the emphasis is on the negative. The goal is to get you back to being normal, average, and regular.

There's nothing wrong with working on treatment and prevention. We need experts to help us prevent injuries from happening. But we can do better yet.

The new focus, and the focus of Positive Optimization, is optimization. The goal of optimization is to maximize your potential. Instead of fixing or preventing what's broken, optimization enhances. It is a positive approach. Optimization takes you to your highest potential. Instead of helping your become normal and average, optimization helps you become ideal. With optimization, the physical therapist helps you gain full and easy movement, the psychologist helps you to enjoy your life, and the nutritionist tinkers with your diet to help your body run efficiently.

Optimization Pioneers

In the early years of this century a group of psychologists announced their renewed vigor for enhancing the lives of their clients. Their intent was optimization, and they called their approach Positive Psychology. At Positive Optimization, we take a similar approach. We call our approach to physical therapy: Positive Physiotherapy. And we call our approach to nutrition: Positive Nutrition.

      - Positive Psychology
      - Positive Nutrition

Positive Optimization is about uniting these three fields of physiotherapy, psychology, and nutrition under the positive approach to form a complete approach to health and wellness. The purpose is to optimize your life. This approach to life stems from a deep, uniting system: Positive Philosophy.

Positive Philosophy

Positive Philosophy is an approach to living your life with the intent of maximizing your potential. It is based on the principle of optimization. Everyone has an untapped potential on which to capitalize. The field of philosophy was originally intended to help guide us in our daily lives, to help us make wise decisions and gain wisdom. Positive Philosophy revives these ancient ideals.
