Hi Mike,

I have to say I am in your camp in terms of moving well however I see that what causes controversy is in fact ambiguous communication, particularly on social media and in text. 
The 'biomechanical model' is being challenged, and I welcome being challenged, encourage it in fact! Yet when broken down into clear language we are all really doing & aiming for very similar, if not the same things, really.

My specialism in 'intrinsic' biomechanics is actually what most practices talk about as being the way to work - which is understanding the inner workings of the body. Ultimately the body is an integrated system & one area can affect another, which we ALL seem to agree on BUT I have yet to see any profession actually practise this in application. 

Anything that cannot be proven, even with evidence, like the inner workings of a live human and what is happening to the 3 sub systems inside of us is always going to cause debate because NO ONE can prove their view. One paper proves a method works, where another proves the opposite. MRI's are being challenged, pain is subjective, every body is different.

So what we MUST have confidence with is a). Saying the we dont know b). Referring when we feel another professional is better placed to help. c) ALWAYS putting the individual in front if us first, over any research paper or evidence or guru's methods.

We are ALL helping some people and not others because everything will help someone but rarely everyone

I for one rarely, if ever these days, get onto those debates anymore buddy since I find them frustrating and unproductive.
