JACK OF ALL TRADES OR MASTER IN YOUR FIELD?

JACK OF ALL TRADES OR MASTER IN YOUR FIELD?
Interesting last few weeks. The big challenge is always wondering how to incorporate new knowledge to existing one. Since the body is sensory based, all specialists have something to contribute to resolving problems. Clinical work is always interesting because you never know how a body is going to react to a certain type of treatment. Last week, I tried new knowledge to strengthen upper kyphosis postural dysfunctions that didn't agree with my body. Sadly one of my major issues of my life was AC joint impingements and anterior labrum tears. They love to re-surface!
My strength in the gym is that I love to try new knowledge and see the results on my own body before trying it on a client. One of the exercises re-injured my right shoulder. Which led me to believe that I needed more knowledge on the subject and like my teacher said ...dig deeper into the rabbit hole!
So the main focus on this article today is... Should someone become a jack of all trades or a master in a particular field? I have a lot of respect for everybody in this field of work that master their craft to perfection and make a difference in somebody's life. I believe that all therapists should study a bit of everything to increase knowledge and understand problems in many points of views but should not stray too far from their own expertise. This is where building a wide and reliable network of individuals becomes important to any clinic.
A little reminder to all therapist out there... remember that you are doing good and when it comes down to it, you are helping your clients get better with each treatment you do.
Let's heal the world one treatment at a time and be the best you can be... always!
