In this episode of the Unreal Results podcast, I share how powerful understanding and cueing weight shifting can be to instantly improve dynamic alignment, reflexive core stability, and overall movement performance.

I share how important understanding fascial tensegrity and sensory integration is in motor development and how when you appreciate the whole organism vs. biomechanics coupled and combined movements is what creates efficient movement patterns not a billion CARs (controlled articular rotations) and bracing the core to prevent movement.

I share exactly how to cue weight shifts during all directions of movement and bases of support. This will be a super practical episode so get ready to try it out in your own body or on your clients!

Inspired by the trend on social media I share what my professional development plan would be if I was starting over in my career, fresh out of college.

There are some big missing pieces in the industry as far as movement science and bridging the gap between rehab and performance that would be the focus as well as learning about a more whole organism lens of view earlier including the viscera, nervous system, and neurology.

I reflect on the 20+ years of continuing education and professional development I have taken and pull out some of the highlights and still solid education that I pull from years later.

I also emphasize the important role mentorship plays in the integration and assimilation of information and the art or creativity that patient care requires.

I recently posted a thread about the tendency toward settling for mediocrity in our profession. This is actually exactly what keeps us from feeling confident in not only guaranteeing results for our clients but also referring them to other practitioners or back to the doctor for red flags, and advocating for different answers.

You can get caught up in saying things like:
"Some people just don't get better"

"It takes time"

"You can't help everyone"

"Pain is complex"

"You can't fix things overnight"

"The patient doesn't do their HEP"

"The patient doesn't manage their stress"

"You will have to live with some degree of pain or limited function because the tissue has changed forever"

But in reality, it DOES NOT take weeks and or months to solve their problems, and these beliefs all stem from average or below average (mediocre) results.
 
In this episode, I unpack what I mean when I say I can guarantee results in 1-3 sessions. Why you need to be able to guarantee results too and how when we make judgments on our patients we often fall into to a psychological tendency called the fundamental attribution law.

In this episode, I share why I believe these 3 nerves are so powerful to target for manual therapy, nerve glides, or movement drills. The 3 nerves are the trigeminal nerve, the accessory nerve, and the obturator nerve.

I break down the connections to the fascial containers of our axial skeleton and the role they play in viscera and neural influences on the body, why they are easy to target, and why spinal articulation can also be a powerful tool to combine with these nerve glides and targeted treatment.

During this episode, I also share about recently learning that the pelvic splanchnic nerves, which have been classified as parasympathetic for decades, in fact, are not! So what does this mean for us and our understanding of the ANS? Listen to hear my thoughts on it.

"Your body is your best friend." parting words from my friend and colleague Daniela Spear. Many people have a hard time both feeling and understanding this, especially those people who have autoimmune diseases. Often in the Western medicine community when someone is diagnosed with an autoimmune disease they are given the explanation that their body is "attacking" itself. It is easy to then understand why it does not resonate with best friend vibes.

Daniela was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease when she was 15 years old and through learning about health and wellness and performance from her previous job as a strength (performance) coach at EXOS and through the MovementREV education realized that she was under-recovered and under-rested, which is different than the traditional concepts of over trained and overstressed.

While practicing various methods of movement that supported rest and diving into how emotions played a role in her diagnosis and capacity to heal she learned how her symptoms were not something wrong with her, but ways her body was working for her, and responding to the information it was being provided. 

Join me as Daniela shares her journey of healing from autoimmune disease and getting a second chance at a life not only free from medication but truly feeling in EASE with life after dis-ease.

We talk about the power of words, belief systems, the role her liver and liver-focused movement played in her healing, and how she can now offer support to others ready to be remade too.

In this episode I share how the understanding of Phillip Beach's contractile field theory of movement provides new context for c-sections and back pain.

I also discuss the anatomical connections of the uterus and ovaries to the hard frame of the skeleton, the role the scar and the loss of cutaneous sensation may play in back pain and recovery. 

In addition I share my go to approach on how to assess and treat any scar with manual therapy and inhibition testing.

In this episode  I break down the various parts of the anatomy and physiology of the parasympethic nervous system.

Understanding these parts provides insight on how simple things can help shift into improved parasympathetic tone and robustness of the autonomic nervous system.

I provide easy approaches that are often more powerful or accessible than using breathing exercises alone.

In this episode I revisit the MovementREV Swelling Reduction Protocol as I released the updated FREE download. Reviewing the key spots of the protocol I explain what revisions I have made and how to utilize it in its most powerful form- integrating it with the LTAP (locator test assessment protocol). I also share what sequence to choose if you have not yet learned the LTAP.

In this episode I take a deep dive into what it means to "listen to the body" both from a personal standpoint and as a professional working with another body.

I share my thoughts on how important it is to regain and improve awareness of the sensations in the body and how to identify how we feel when we feel safe and feel how truth feels.

During the episode I also discuss the difference between listening with our ears to what stories the patient or client is sharing vs. listening with your hand, and why we cannot get distracted by the story or our belief system creating bias and searching for evidence to further support our beliefs.

I encourage the listener to practically apply some of these concepts with contemplation, body scans, and to change the order of operation of a typical assessment and treatment session.

In this episode I share my experience attending the Tongue Mojo webcast from Stop Chasing Pain.  After years of symptoms related to issues with my esophagus, trachea, stomach, and mouth, I am realizing how important the tongue is!

I took Dr. Perry's course in hopes to see how he practically integrated the tongue with the rest of the body and to learn some exercises to start on before deciding to go the route of a potential tongue tie release (frenectomy).

In this episode I share a bit about the anatomy, why the tongue is so important, and what my progress has been after just a few days of practicing what I learned.
