In this episode of the Unreal Results podcast, I have an amazing conversation with my friend, Dr. Nicole Cozean.  We talk about the significance of a comprehensive assessment & treatment strategy for pelvic floor patients, but really this approach is for every patient.   Some highlights of our conversation include treating the whole organism vs whole body, understanding the interconnectedness...

This is a replay of the kick off call to the Results Cheat Code- The Missing Link Mini-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 sequ...

Dive deep into movement, therapy, and holistic health with my favorite books packed with insights on manual therapy, the nervous system's role in movement, fascia, and more. I was going to pick just 5, but you’ll learn why that was nearly impossible!  But more importantly, you’ll learn how and why these specific books have impacted my career and have influenced my approach with clients in the...

Where do I start treatment for an athlete complaining of Achilles tendon issues?  The same place I start every evaluation - the LTAP (locator test assessment protocol). This directs me to where the body is protecting and what the underlying driver of changing the dynamic alignment, function, and pain is.  I still look at the movement and orthopedics of what was going on and likely stressed the tis...

In this episode of the Unreal Results podcast, I dive deep into SI joint assessment.  I talk about the gold standard of SI joint mobility tests, the March Test / Gillet's Test, and why the "limitations" around the test exist.  I further talk about the intricate connection of the viscera and nervous system to the SI joint and why we as healthcare practitioners need to have a holistic...

This episode of the Unreal Results Podcast is all about shin splints.  I go beyond the standard causes of overtraining and talk about how biomechanics/running form, nutrition, and even the nervous system may actually be the culprits to shin pain.  Dive deep into my multi-faceted approach to shin splints and help your clients, or even yourself, get over this common injury and return to pain-free mo...

In this episode of the Unreal Results Podcast, I talk about heel and foot pain, which is commonly misdiagnosed as plantar fasciitis.  There are a multitude of connections that can contribute to foot and heel pain including the viscera, neural connections, and of course lifestyle habits. I also  provide some practical management tips for foot pain that include weight shifting and something very spe...

In this episode of the Unreal Results podcast, I chat with my long-time friend, Dr. Sara Asadoorian to delve into the world of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), acupuncture, and their application in treating movement, pain, and injuries. With Sara’s extensive experience in TCM, she explains the influence of visceral organs and the nervous system on holistic health. We talk about how seemingly un...

In this episode of the Unreal Results podcast, I explore the various challenges of treating elbow pain, using a specific case study with one of my throwing athletes.  As always, I emphasize using a holistic assessment that considers visceral and central nervous system influences rather than just focusing solely on any dysfunction located at the elbow joint.  I firmly believe by using this approach...

In this episode of Unreal Results, I dive deep into sacral pain talking about its link to your organs, nervous system, and even past pelvic floor issues.  I share how sacral pain is often misdiagnosed as low back pain and the surprising (maybe not if you've been following along for some time) connection to gut health.  I also talk about how hormones and lymphatic congestion can contribute to...

In this episode of the Unreal Results Podcast, I talk about the Mesenteric Roots of the small intestines and their significance in cases of low back pain.  I dive into the anatomy and function of the mesenteric root, including its relationship with the duodenal jejunal flexure and the ligament of Treitz. I also talk about the reflexive connections between the mesenteric root, blood flow, lymphatic...

In this episode,  I discuss how important using the  MovementREV  Swelling Reduction Protocol is post-injury and even post-surgery.  I share how critical checking the distal pulses is to ensure no stagnant swelling impedes the healing and rehabilitation process.  And what it means to have persistent swelling and why this can help know if something is wrong vs. just normal healing timelines. Resour...

In this episode, I share how the LTAP (locator test assessment protocol) and MovementREV lens of view, incorporating the whole organism (visceral, neural, and musculoskeletal systems) guides post-surgical rehab. From swelling, range of motion, and exercises to manual therapy and facilitating safety and the parasympathetic nervous system, I share my approach to an ACL rehab in a true whole organism...

Join me for a deep dive into the anatomy and physiology of the kidneys. Explore how the kidneys are deeply embedded into our movement and humans and how closely the organs are related to the spine and extremities. In this episode you will learn why I am so adamant about not using hard massage tools or deep tissue to the area of the kidneys and why you may want to consider the kidneys when dealing...

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 combi...

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, nerv...

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...

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 wh...

"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...

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...

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. Resources mentio...

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. Resources mentioned: Do...

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 b...

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...
