Weekend Doctor: Rediscovering the Power of Movement

By Nancy Proctor, BSN, MAE
Patient Experience Educator 

Move it or lose it! Anyone who has rehabbed an injury or surgery is undoubtedly familiar with this paradigm in order to regain strength and mobility. I wonder if this thinking applies to other areas of our well-being. While grabbing a coffee one day, I pulled in and saw long lines at the drive-thru. Having little patience, I parked, ran in and got my coffee. As I left, I noticed the line of cars hadn’t moved. It begs the question, why would 95% of people opt to sit in their car in line for an exponential amount of time rather than just go in and get what they want? Are we so used to convenience we completely forget there is an alternative? And, because we aren’t moving as much, are we compromising our physical and mental health? Is convenience crippling us?
