I recently treated a patient with persistent neck tension and pain — something I see all the time. She’d already tried everything: 💊 muscle relaxants 💆‍♀️ massage 💥 chiropractic 🏋️‍♂️ traditional PT But here’s the thing — in my experience, the issue is not primarily muscular. It’s neurological.The nervous system controls the muscles. When the nervous system is dysregulated, the muscles stay “on” — constantly guarding, tight, and reactive. So instead of chasing muscles, I target the nervous system. Once that calms, the muscular system naturally relaxes. Ask yourself: “Why does my patient’s neck feel like they’ve been in an MVA… when they haven’t?” For this particular patient, I had her order a grounding pillowcase on Amazon to sleep on (if you haven’t yet, watch The Earthing Movie on YouTube — it explains the science beautifully). Usually, I see around a 30% reduction in neck tension just from grounding interventions…But this patient? No neck pain after one week. 🙌Watch the Earthing Movie here ==>> https://youtu.be/44ddtR0XDVU?si=3RvYbty6obhWFkqY

One of the most prestigious journals in our field came out with a paper claiming that posture is irrelevant.I remember thinking: What on earth are we doing? So I immediately filmed a video demonstrating how absurd that claim is.I took a patient with clear impingement syndrome — pain with arm elevation. I asked him to raise his arm → pain.Then I said: “Pin your shoulders back and down. Try again.” Boom — pain gone instantly zero fancy equipment. Zero complicated interventions. Just position. 🤦‍♂️ The Bigger Issue A lot of research that gets published today is historically wrong or disconnected from what actually happens in clinic.And the scary part? Many of these claims can be disproven in 30 seconds. Just like the “SI joint doesn’t move” myth.If that were true, humanity would be biomechanically doomed my own SI research showed clearly that this claim simply cannot be true. 🔥 Clinicians Need to Trust Their Eyes Evidence is important — but clinical reality matters more. When a simple positional correction eliminates pain instantly, you cannot ignore posture you cannot ignore biomechanics. We need more clinicians who actually treat patients shaping the conversation —not just theorists who haven’t touched a patient in years or blindly follows most research that is an historical fact that it is most likely wrong. Watch this video below, this works on a good percent of impingement patients for me!

I have a patient that has an upslip of his L SI jt with L side posterior and lateral low back pain. He has L posterior hip replacement, R anterior hip replacement and bilateral total knee replacements. Some of your recommendations are contraindicated so reaching out to get some suggestions.

I don’t believe in doing bridges in rehab, I find it hurts the person or has the potential to and at the very least is useless. This isn’t theoretical for me I have protocols that I use like the ones that I published. I put a patient on them and not worry about whether they will get better. If I do bridges for LBP, I cause flare ups and prolong the treatment. Listen to my clinical reasoning https://youtu.be/Xw7j4DOt92I?si=fVGkWuidvvuc-bAw

OK, so today I had a patient come in prior laminectomy had multiple injections went to the chiropractor, physical therapist had an SI joint injection that did not relieve pain and then went back to injections again into a spine. It looked like someone took a machete to his spine with all the scars. Here is what is what was wrong with him as I had him out of pain in 60 secondswatch click “subscribe”https://www.youtube.com/live/YLW5TvYNH8A?si=4q06Q5PLGv0Z1rgL
