Do you feel like you're stooping forward a little more than you used to? Has your doctor told you you've "lost" a few inches? Well, you are not alone. Postural changes are a normal part of the aging process, but you can do something about it.

Join me in this session and explore a  movement...

In this session, you will learn a single movement progression that will improve hip mobility and muscle engagement of both hips at the same time. It is simple and efficient but still fairly challenging.   

I use this routine frequently with many of my patients with low back, hip, or...

Take your finger and touch your nose. Go ahead, actually do it before you read further. A simple enough task. I’m sure it didn’t take much thought at all. While you didn’t think twice about how to accomplish it, you actually could have performed it in any number of ways. Why did...

I was recently having a discussion with my student about a patient who has moderate to severe arthritis in her right knee. I asked him why he...

This is a question that I get asked with some regularity and like most answers, it depends. Deciding to undergo surgery is a huge and personal decision and depends on much more than just the condition of your joints. While these procedures are overwhelmingly safe and effective there are a number...

In today's live session we took a deep dive into becoming aware of habitual movement patterns in the low back and pelvis. A common source not only for low back pain but also knee, hip, and even neck and shoulder pain.
