"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 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 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.

Inspired by a recently anatomy image of the relationship between the psoas muscle and the lumbar plexus nerves, this episode shares my thoughts and approach to "tight" psoas muscles and poor hip flexor performance.

I discuss the role the psoas plays with the viscera, nervous system, and movement and offer my thoughts on assessment and simple treatments that don't really involve endless stretching, smashing, or strengthening of the psoas muscle.

Join me on this anatomical exploration!

My friend and colleague Lex Lancaster is back on the Unreal Results podcast, this time sharing about her experience with long standing shoulder pain.

While she was in San Diego helping me out with a course I was teaching we were able to find a 30min window to assess and treat her shoulder using the LTAP (locator test assessment protocol).

Her "historically problematic shoulder" which she described as stabbing 9/10 pain- gone with a 25-30 min assessment and treatment session directed at her liver and diaphragm, and C4. This one session allowed her to not only play 6hrs of volleyball over the next couple days, but in the same week lifted 1-2 upper extremity heavy focused strength training days without pain! I treated her again briefly 6 weeks later when I visited her in New Hampshire- which was more for my own curiosity of how her tissues and mobility felt and now 7 months later she is still pain free and doing volleyball and strength training without issue! She even admitted to not doing any of the home exercise program I gave her. Lol

In this episode we chat about how that changed her mindset about physical therapy and  how it highlighted just how important the assessment is and how understanding the anatomy and connections of the viscera can help everyone treat from a new lens of view even without having training in visceral and neural manipulation techniques.

Replay of the 2nd live call from the Results Cheat Code Course.

During this call we review the SI joint mobility locator test and talk about assessment and treat guidelines and some treatment options.

We also explore where SI joint pain fits in this clinical picture and how to truly diagnose the SI joint as the pain generator vs. if it is coming from another one of the many things that connects to or significantly influences the SI joint.

I also answer all the questions that have come up in the course and share why continuing the educational journey to the LTAP Level 1 course may be the key to getting even better results!

This is a replay of the kick off call to the Results Cheat Code Course.

One of the things I hear from sports healthcare professionals is that in their day to day, they lack the confidence to guarantee results for their clients.

What most sports healthcare professionals miss is the ability to trust the wisdom of the body and be able to listen to it to guide the treatment sequencing. When you know where to start by listening to the body you will get fast results that stick using any tool or treatment approach you like. Getting consistent results like that will improve your confidence and have you feeling inspired by every client's session, even the most complicated clients, without having to learn ANOTHER treatment system. 

The Results Cheat Code is rooted in the beliefs that the patient’s body knows best, the SI joint connects everything, AND where you start matters.

In this course, you will learn how to use a foundational orthopedic test that assesses SI joint mobility and “asks the body” the 1st of 3 important questions: “Is there something you are protecting?” Asking the body simply means performing a manual assessment and allowing the results to guide treatment. 

The SI joint is unique in that it has a direct connection to everything- visceral organs, the central nervous system, the myofascial system, and the peripheral nervous system. This makes it a PERFECT joint to use for a full- truly whole-body assessment. And perhaps this is the reason why SI joint dysfunction is so common yet not always easily treated. The Results Cheat Code will provide you with a new lens of view on an old assessment that will not only make dealing with SI joint issues easy but allow you to see how it influences all aches, pains, and injuries you encounter. 

Based on the results of the assessment the body directs you to know if the SI joint mobility is being affected by the visceral organs, the central nervous system, or the musculoskeletal thus allowing you to know EXACTLY where to start treatment because when you know exactly where to start treatment you will get better results so you can- 

• spend less time repeating treatment techniques
• require fewer treatment sessions
• have happy clients
• gain confidence that you guarantee results and can help anyone
