Contrary to what most of the internet will tell you, most sciatica is not caused by a "tight" piriformis. If you're stretching your piriformis, strengthening your glutes, doing all the things, but your sciatica or leg pain isn't getting better, this episode is for you. Sciatica is not usually what you think it is, and stretching your piriformis might actually be making it worse. In this episode, I'm breaking down what sciatica actually is, why your piriformis gets all the blame, and the framework you need to figure out what's really irritating your nerve and how to actually fix it.

If you're like myself and many of my clients, you've spent alot of time trying to find the right neck exercise for your constant neck and jaw tension. You've done breathwork and the stretches, but you're still feeling like you're on an uphill battle with constant tension. If you're someone who constantly reads the room, notices other people's emotions, or are a recovering "people-pleaser", your chronic tension might not be a mechanical problem. In this episode, I'm sharing a pattern I see all the time with my clients (and something I've been working through myself): the connection between people-pleasing, self-abandonment, and the tension that feels like it lives in your jaw and neck. If you've tried everything and your tension keeps coming back, this might give you a different perspective and better direction.

If you've been doing the mobility work, stretching, and implementing more core exercises, but your low back keeps flaring up this episode is for you. Most of my clients find me when they've tried a lot of things. They're looking for something different and feel like they need mobility work. And most do, but mobility work alone is never the full solution. When you add more exercises to manage the pain flare ups and tweaks, you also need to look at what's creating them in the first place. Most often there are things in your training program that also need adjusted or they will keep you stuck. In this episode, I break down how to audit your program for one of the more common loading patterns that keeps peoples low backs stuck in Tweak City and what to do instead of just adding more mobility work on top of the loading problem.

You're listening to podcasts, following coaches you respect, consuming solid advice. And it doesn't apply to you. You can't push intensity the way they recommend. You can't do high-volume training without your body breaking down. You can't just "work harder" without consequences. And that can feel really isolating. In this episode, I'm talking about the subset of people whose bodies have different rules, such as people with dysautonomia, chronic illnesses, hypermobility, or just nervous systems that run differently. Most fitness content isn't made for you, and trying to follow it can not only be frustrating, but detrimental. If you've ever felt like you're doing something wrong because the advice everyone swears by doesn't work for your body, this episode is for you.

If you're hypermobile (or train hypermobile bodies) and cues never seem to land the way you or coaches expect, it's not because you're doing something wrong. Most cues assume you already have prerequisite skills that hypermobile bodies often don't, and when you add neurodivergence into the mix, it gets even more complicated. In this episode, I break down why standard cueing doesn't work for bendy bodies, what's actually missing, and what coaches need to understand about working with hypermobility (especially when there's a brain component or neurodivergent crossover).

One of the hardest parts about coaching is helping people stay consistent with the exercises or behaviors that will get them the results they want. Mobility work is no different, and in the past several years of mentoring coaches and movement pros, I've noticed a bigger pattern that impacts clients' consistency more than anything else. In this episode, I break down what's actually driving this pattern and what you can do about it. If you're struggling with clients who won't commit to their mobility work, give this a listen.

One of the most common questions I get when people are learning spine CARs for the first time is "Why can't I breathe when I'm doing spine CARs?". It's a really common issue as you're trying to segment your spine and control the movement, and then suddenly you're holding your breath or feeling like you can't get air in. In this episode, I walk through why this happens and give you two practical tips to make it easier.

Winged scapula gets thrown around a lot in the rehab and fitness industries. A coach or clinician points it out, you start doing corrective exercises to fix it, feeling like it's another thing wrong with your body and maybe the cause of your pain. But most of the time, it's not the problem you think it is. In this episode, I walk through what winged scapula actually means, when it matters, and what to do about it, from a practical, evidence-based lens.

Just because you're "healed" doesn't mean your body has fully recovered. In this episode, we dive into the inconspicuous changes that happen after a surgery or periods of immobility from a major injury, how that impacts your movement, how subtle this can happen, and what rehab often misses along the way. If you've ever felt off, stiff, or like something just isn't right post-surgery, this episode is for you.

Anterior pelvic tilt is one of the most talked-about "issues" in fitness, but it's often misunderstood. In this episode, we break down what it actually is, why it shows up, and how it relates to movement, strength, and pain, without defaulting to the usual "tight hip flexors, weak glutes" or "lower crossed syndrome" narrative. If you've been trying to fix your (or your clients') pelvic tilt but not getting improvements, this will give you a more useful way to think about it.
