Let's say a horse is coughing. Is that a problem?
My argument is: No, coughing is not a problem.
Rather, coughing is a sign or symptom of a problem. But not a problem itself.
You may find that obvious. However, many of us have inadvertently picked up on fixing symptoms, rather than the underlying cause.
Examples:
Have a cough -- > give cough suppressant
Have a fever -- > get the fever down with aspirin
Have a headache -➝ get rid of headache with tylenol
But what should we do instead of aiming at getting rid of the symptom?
Well that depends on WHY the horse is coughing. We talk about the "sick cough" vs. the "chronic cough" and how to think through those issues.
This idea of taking a moment to think and find what the symptom is telling us is key to Tucker BioKinetic Technique (TBT).
