DocJen & Dr. Dom get real about 5 health misconceptions, discussing misinformation and the creation of fear. Firstly, they dive into the physiological mechanism of adjustments and whether or not structures are being put in place. Through this conversation, they emphasize the importance of following passive therapies with active movement.  Then, they debunk avoiding knees over toes to prevent knee pain, explaining how training the knees over the toes position promotes resilience in functional movement. Moreover, they touch base with the cue to "smash the low back into the ground" for abdominal engagement, explaining the biomechanics of the core. Finally, they explain whether or not specific conditions of pain are truly genetic. Let's dive in!
