The SISU Mentality

What is sisu? What is the purpose of SISU Mentality?

Sisu(see-soo) is a word that comes from Finland.  It developed from people who survived and thrived in the cold, dark winters of the swamps near the Arctic Circle.  One definition describes it as “extraordinary determination and courage in the face of extreme adversity.”  Other words related to sisu are:  tenacity, grit, guts, bravery, resilience, and hardiness.

 

The purpose of the SISU Mentality clinic is about building resilience.  

 

In our clinic we specifically build physical resilience by restoring your ability to move like a perfect human.  We combine Chiropractic, muscle/fascia treatments, manual therapies, and exercise in one place to give you a program that you will not find anywhere else.

 

When you arrive in our clinic, you will learn that changing your body is hard.  We don’t just pop your joints or give you a back rub and send you out the door.  You will receive a long-term fix for your physical problems.  When you adopt a SISU Mentality, you will be successful

Treatment Process

See how Sisu Mentality can help you

Functional and Orthopedic Evaluation

We screen for serious conditions before we evaluate joint motion from head-to-toe. Screening of your body's movement patterns to follow.

Chiropractic Manipulation and Mobilization

We restore mobility to joints that don't move well. We have many different techniques to restore motion and will consult with you first to determine your comfort level with the recommended method.

Manual Therapy 

Joints don't exist by themselves. There is a complex relationship between joints and muscles. Fascia also contributes to movement problems. We work on these structures as part of the same problem.

Physical Rehabilitation 

When we restore mobility to your body it is paramount that we teach you how to use it again. You will have learned incorrect patterns that require some coaching.

I have been going to Dr Mead at Sisu Mentality for the last 12 weeks and have seen so much improvement with my chronic pain and chronic fatigue. I have been to chiropractors, Physical Therapists and Rolfers and have found that Dr. Mead combines all 3 approaches to work the bones, muscles and fascia for optimum health. I have had sports injuries and being a mom of 2; was so happy to find a regimen that really works for me.

Today was a milestone for me in my recovery process and my journey back to health. Around a year ago I was diagnosed with many ailments. A sprained knee, a small rupture where my IT band connected to my knee, an anterior pelvic tilt, my SI joints were locking up, my lower back muscles were having spasms and I couldn’t activate or properly recruit any of the muscles I needed to move correctly. I thought it was going to heal on its own with some at home exercises given to me and some generic physical therapy, but it didn’t. Then something amazing happened I was introduced to Dr. Jesse Mead of SISU Chiropractic through a friend of mine. He has been treating and healing my body with his SISU Mentality Method which includes lifestyle, body treatment, exercise and nutritional programs, as well as confidence building programs for around 5 months now. In the 5 months i’ve been under his care and on his program my life and mental health has been given back to me. Thank you Dr Mead and the SISU Mentality treatment process for getting my life back.
