What we call movement impairments are somehow adaptations of our body according to its structure and function. The body decides to do what is best and how is best according to its condition. do we know or care more than our bodies? or the body knows better?
The answer to the questions is not a simple yes or no related to the "body knows better". There are adaptive modifications based upon present conditions. However, after the condition has improved and healed, there may still be "learned" abnormal pattern. For example, abnormal gait pattern post operatively which includes hip hiking and circumduction may still be present although there is no pathological or antalgic cause. Thus, rehabilitate abnormal pathomechanics that maybe causing pain and leave alone adaptive modifications that may relieve the pain in individuals.
