Clinicians often zoom in on the knee with an acute meniscus tear, but the body usually has other plans.  In this episode, I walk through two client cases who arrived with classic meniscal presentations: pain, swelling, and loss of flexion. But the real driver of their pain at that assessment revealed itself only when I followed LTAP® findings back to the central nervous system.

I break down how CNS tension alters dynamic alignment, hip mechanics, and tibiofemoral arthrokinematics, and why this pattern shows up so often in clients with knee pain. You’ll hear exactly how I used the LTAP® to identify the true restriction and why the CNS initially mattered more than local knee work.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How CNS tension alters gait, hip rotation, and knee loading during daily movement

• Why addressing cranial containers can transform lower-extremity biomechanics

• How simple sensory-driven treatments can reduce symptoms in structurally injured knees

• When to treat locally, when to treat globally, and how to make that call with confidence

This episode Is a practical reminder that system-level clarity leads to better outcomes, whethers it’s in acute or chronic client cases.

Considering the viscera as a source of musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction is a great way to ensure a more true whole body approach to care, however it can be a bit overwhelming on where to start, which is exactly why I created the Visceral Referral Cheat Sheet.
