This week on the Unreal Results podcast, I talk about the often-overlooked impact of the colon on overall health and performance.  In this episode, I dive real deep into the anatomy and physiology of the colon highlighting its intricate connections to the nervous system and beyond.  You’ll hear how the colon can cause symptoms such as back pain, sciatica, and even foot pain.  I also provide ways for the healthcare and movement provider to assess issues in the colon as well as provide specific treatments such as various breathing and stretching exercises.

Welcome back to the Unreal Results Podcast!  After a little summer hiatus, I’m back to recording new weekly episodes.  In this particular episode, I talk about what I’ve been up to these past 6 weeks including working with one of my closest athletes, my birthday celebrations, and some personal health issues.  But the main topic for today’s episode revolves around the body’s compensation mechanisms and how healthcare & movement providers should not fixate on them.  You’ll hear why I believe compensations are actually great for the body, but more importantly how utilizing the LTAP™ for an individualized assessment is way more important for the treatment you provide, whether it’s to address the compensation or not.

In this episode of the Unreal Results podcast, I talk about the often overlooked sartorius muscle.  This episode happens to be a clip from episode 26, Sartorius B.I.G.  In this episode, I talk a little bit more of why the sartorius muscle should not be overlooked including its connection to peripheral nerves, vascular structures, and its fascial lines & containers.  It’s honestly one of my go-to spots for treatment and I share some of my techniques that I utilize in this area.

In this week’s episode of the Unreal Results podcast, you’re going to find out that I feel some type of way about “releasing” the psoas with hard tools.  This is a clip taken from episode 15, Hard No To Hard Tools In The Gut, and just by that title I’m sure you can tell how I feel.  This episode highlights the potential risks associated with using hard tools in the gut as well as the safer alternatives that I love to use instead.

This week on the Unreal Results podcast, I’m taking a clip from episode 33, Assessment Is Sexy, to highlight the importance of a good assessment.  This was originally a guest episode featuring my friend, teammate, and colleague, Lex Lancaster, where we talk about treating her chronic shoulder pain.  I of course highlight the use of the LTAP™ (Locator Test Assessment Protocol) as the basis of any comprehensive assessment to help guide you where the body exhibits any protection patterns.  In this case study, you'll hear how targeting the liver and nervous system dramatically improved her shoulder pain and mobility.

For this week’s episode of the Unreal Results podcast, I’m throwing it back to episode 28, The Power of the Trigeminal Nerve.  This is legitimately one of my favorite episodes, which yes, I know I say that a lot, but what I talk about in this clip can be tremendously helpful for your practice if you don’t know this information.  In this episode, I talk about how the trigeminal nerve is more than just a sensory nerve to portions of the face and innervates the masseter, but also its role in the parasympathetic nervous system.  I break down the anatomy of the trigeminal nerve and relate that to cranial and spinal nerves, headaches, and nervous system tension throughout the body.  I truly believe that this information could truly improve the outcomes that you get with your patients.

In this week’s episode of the Unreal Results podcast, I revisit episode 16, Why The Shoulder Comes Last.  Part of the reason why has to do with a story regarding my sister who has been dealing with chronic shoulder pain, which resolved immediately following a treatment that wasn’t for her shoulder.  But in this episode, you’ll hear me challenge the traditional approach of treating the shoulder by first understanding the surprising connections & influences of shoulder pain from the nerves and visceral organs.

In this episode of the Unreal Results podcast, I am taking a clip all the way back from season 1 episode 12, Rest Postures vs. Mobility vs. Stretching.  In this specific episode, I highlight insights from Philip Beach’s work that emphasizes floor-based rest postures along with sensory input can improve overall function and mobility. I also talk about the value of making rest postures feel genuinely restful through the use of props, thus facilitating increased mobility without the discomfort often associated with traditional stretching. I hope as fellow healthcare practitioners, you’re encouraged to consider how safety and sensory input play a crucial role in effective movement therapy and rehab.

In this week’s episode of the Unreal Results podcast, I reflect on the LTAP Level 1 course that I taught in Washington, D.C. this past weekend. If you didn’t know, the LTAP is a paradigm assessment that I created over my 20 years of practice that helps you shift your focus from more of a traditional orthopedic approach to a whole-organism approach.  In the episode, I go over the course structure and breakdown, the importance of feeling versus thinking during assessments & treatments, and the paradigm shift you truly need to help you get the best results for your clients.  I hope you enjoy this episode and join me in one of the upcoming in-person LTAP courses!
