Taylor Swift’s Copycat Controversy — and Why Your Rehab Plan Isn’t Original Either

Taylor Swift’s new album just dropped — and so did the internet’s collective opinion.

Within hours, people started claiming she copied another artist’s song. Whether you think it’s coincidence, inspiration, or straight-up imitation, one thing’s for sure: it’s got everyone talking about originality.

And here’s the thing — the same problem shows up in rehab every single day.

Because every week, people walk into my office after seeing two, three, or even five other providers — and they all got the exact same “treatment.”

The Rehab Remix Nobody Asked For

Here’s how it usually goes:

You walk in with knee pain.
You get a quick once-over.
And five minutes later, you’re handed a sheet of exercises.

It’s the same sheet the last ten people got.

An 80-year-old retiree with arthritic knees gets the same “3 sets of 10 leg raises” as a 30-year-old triathlete training for an Ironman.

Different people.
Different goals.
Same paper.

That’s not care — that’s copy-paste.

Copying Might Work in Pop Music — But Not for Human Bodies

Taylor can reuse a chord progression and make it work.
But your body isn’t a remix — it’s an original tracklist.

No two people move the same, get injured the same, or recover the same.
So when every patient gets the same five chiropractic adjustments or the same “glute bridges, clamshells, and monster walks,” it’s not personalized — it’s predictable.

And predictable doesn’t get you results.

Why Copy-and-Paste Rehab Fails

1. It chases symptoms, not causes.

Ten people with “knee pain” could have ten different root causes. One has poor hip control. Another has ankle stiffness. Another has training load issues.
When you treat the symptom, you miss the source.

2. It ignores your story.

Your job, training schedule, sleep, stress, and goals all matter. Cookie-cutter care doesn’t account for that. It just hands you a plan and hopes it works.

3. It’s not goal-oriented.

Generic plans focus on exercises, not outcomes. You’re “doing the thing,” but not getting closer to what actually matters — running again, golfing pain-free, or lifting without fear.

4. It breeds dependency.

When everyone gets the same thing, no one learns why they’re doing it. That means you keep coming back for the same temporary fix instead of learning how to stay pain-free.

What Real, Original Rehab Looks Like

If rehab were music, this is where we ditch the cover band and start writing something worth listening to.

Original care means:

• A thorough movement assessment, not a 30-second glance.

• A plan built from your tests, not a pre-printed template.

• Progressions and regressions that evolve with you.

• A focus on your goals, not just your pain.

For example:
A 30-year-old triathlete might need single-leg loading, hip control, and plyometric work.
An 80-year-old with arthritis might need strength, stability, and confidence walking stairs.

Different people.
Different needs.
Different plans.

That’s what originality looks like.

Because You’re Not a Copy

Maybe Taylor borrowed a melody.
But your rehab plan shouldn’t borrow from anyone else’s.

If your last provider handed you the same exercises everyone gets, it’s time for something better.

You deserve a plan that’s tested, tailored, and built around your goals — not someone else’s.
