How can you drive a car safely by only ever touching the accelerator pedal?

The idea is that you are going to drive a car in complete safety by only ever touching the accelerator.  You may also touch the seat you are sitting in plus maybe the floor your feet rest upon but you are not allowed to touch the handbrake, the footbrake, the steering wheel, the gearshift, the indicator switchgear (nor any other switchgear on the dashboard).  And you must drive this car in complete and utter safety.  Do you think you can do it?

The answer is, of course you cannot do it!  Now, how about your health?  It is the same thing there too.  Just like the components of a car all of the professionals have a specific job to do.

Doctor - treats the symptoms (prescribes pain killers for pain, anti-biotics for infection, can set a broken bone, stitch up bad lacerations, can perform some tests and sends you for other tests to diagnose conditions, and so forth)
Surgeon - Performs surgery
Nurse - Assists your medical recovery from a condition/situation
Physiotherapist - reduces muscular inflammation so you can move more freely
Chiropractor - aligns the spine
Naturopath - takes a holistic approach.  Uses several methods to diagnose a condition.  Uses herbs to strengthen the bodily systems including vital organs (like the liver), the immune system, and the central nervous system.  Uses things like Bach Flowers (ever heard of "Rescue Remedy"?) to treat emotional issues
Fitness Instructors - can help you train for strength/flexibility balance, functionality, mobility, and performance

The best kind of gym will help you take a holistic approach using all of these resources as appropriate.  Do you have a sore back?  Don't just treat the symptoms (pain).  Treat those for sure but then do something to fix the main and underlying problem(s).  For instance, did you know gluten allergies can lead to back pain?  If you did not know that and you are suffering back pain come and see us so we can help you get to the bottom of things rather than just carrying out half treatments, applying patches, and never really solving anything permanently.  Otherwise you are just trying to safely drive that car using nothing other than the accelerator pedal.
