Today we’d like to introduce you to Cody Wood.
Hi Cody, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I started as an occupational therapy assistant in Oklahoma. Both of my parents were occupational therapists so I grew up around the profession. The longer I spent in the medical field, the more I recognized its flaws. I grew tired of trying to change things from within and started to pursue a private practice. Along my journey, I was fortunate enough to meet others who were like-minded. I began studying the spine and shoulder as one system and then integrated the feet and the hips. What I found is that the body works best when it’s treated as a shape. That shape is best viewed in the micro with a crawling baby and in the macro in elite athletes with long injury-free careers. The same traits that I study and integrate into my practice are also found in nature in both mammals and indigenous persons. Today I am working in capacities with both individuals and businesses and providing my expertise and value in ways I feel are more and more needed in these times today. I enjoy working with athletes who want an edge and hope in the future I have the opportunity of changing the way high school, college, and professional athletes train. I enjoy working with the general population and that is why today I am focused on providing an education to businesses where employees are empowered and taught the way the body is designed to move so they can take their health and wellness into their own hands.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not, what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Much like a commercial flight, there are some flights that are short and turbulent free there are also times when it seems the plane may break apart. These are the times that have taught me to persevere. I believe that deep in my heart, I am capable of achieving anything I put my mind to. I will never lose. I will either win or learn.
The biggest struggle I face is challenging some adopted norms in an industry of well-educated, but sometimes misled professionals. It can be difficult to speak to leaders in the industry. There are days that I make five and six visits to businesses, schools, and organizations in search of someone who is willing to listen. There are days that I cannot afford to make those visits and I will spend them preparing for the day I can set up possible meetings. There are days I feel I’ve done everything I possibly can and I’m simply waiting for a callback. Those days are the hardest.
