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!

In this week's episode of the Unreal Results podcast, I explore the anatomy and physiology of the liver and how it is an integral area of the body to treat to support overall health and wellness.

A key organ especially for swelling and the lymphatic system as well as a driver for many musculoskeletal issues including right shoulder pain,   neck pain, hip pain, and left-sided sciatica. I discuss the relative anatomy and how that relates to the mobility of the organ itself and the musculoskeletal system.

In addition, I break down the programming of the "Lymph Love" Regen Session which is very liver focused. Taking you through my thought process and why being precise and specific with movement interventions can be a difference-maker in treatment outcomes.

In this episode of the Unreal Results Podcast, I tackle one of the biggest questions that I get from healthcare providers and athletes and that is how to deal with anterior knee pain.  I of course talk about using the LTAP (Locator Test Assessment Protocol) to help pinpoint the root cause of anterior knee pain. I also talk about evaluating knee biomechanics and the interconnectedness of body parts such as the kidneys and lungs that could also be contributing to anterior knee pain.  I also go over some practical treatment techniques & tips including the importance of the flexor hallucis longus muscle and the infrapatellar nerve, to help with resolving these knee issues.  This is a great episode to help you level up your evaluation and treatment for anterior knee pain!
