CervicoThoracic Diaphragm course is complete! We had an hour long review of the different facets of the CT diaphragm, including: the Stylian portion, Bourghery portion, the important unorganized fascia of the neck…to name a few. I recorded the lecture portion and will make available in the near future. Any questions regarding this material, please ask!
Join me this weekend in Long Beach where I will be presenting at the CCA Sports Symposium on “OsteoArticular Pumping and the 5 Joints of the Shoulder Complex”.

Don’t miss out on this learning opportunity!! Light years ahead of most anatomical teachings of the pelvis, The Pelvis 2.0 is an essential course for understanding the complexity and prioritization of the pelvis. With more “muscular” attachments than any other structure in the body, this basin is worth pouring your attention and studies into. Additionally, you will learn an osteopathic assessment to manage and test for proper biomechanics.

that’s right! Here is the cover of a portion of the sauna course related to proper starting temps and times for Sauna. There are many factors to consider! FYI that’s the sauna in my backyard from We chose this one bc the bench can fold up tight against the wall and you can MyoFascial stretch, do and/or exercise!!

The Sauna… so much to say. As a student of traditional osteopathy with Guy Voyer DO I took my first sauna course in 2012. The physiological benefits are many and safety and proper progression is paramount. The benefits, in brief: brown fat stores, heat shock proteins, , cleaning the Extracellular water out, heart rate variability, training the Heart Rate (HR) variable of Cardiac Output (CO=SVxHR), and many many more. Stay tuned as I take a group of patients through some baseline labs, fasting, dry sauna, etc over the next couple of months!

Please join me at the Sports Rehabilitation Virtual Summit next Thursday Jan 25th! The FLUID of the fascia is a critically missing element in the treatment of fascia. The TENSILE properties seem to get all the notoriety and attention. But it’s the FLUID that provides the vitality of the tissue, both in the Matrix and in the collagen tubes. Please join me for a different perspective on how we should be treating the body!

Zoom will be available for this specialized intro course “The Pelvis”. Due to the fact that I will be teaching only hands on Evaluation of the oblique axes and the H3 iliosacral axis, I’ve decided to include 10 remote students for this course this course.
Please call Sara to secure your spot. If you are new to the bio mechanical study of the pelvis that’s great! And if you are one of the many students whom has had other lectures on the pelvic axes etx and are still unclear as to the proper evaluation, findings and treatment strategies, this will be super beneficial to help clear some things up!!

Next Sunday join us for The Pelvis. Level 1 will include palpation review of the entire pelvis. This will up your game of evaluation and managing the changes via treatment/exercise. Then EVALUATION progression. Static, Dynamic and making sure it’s not a “soft tissue” imbalance, which is easily rectified!
Your athletes and patients will thank you! This will provide clear examples of how distal tissue failure, primarily proximal hamstrings and Achilles, are highly LINKed to pelvis dysfunctions!
Register now!

Coming in Jan 2024. The Pelvis. A one day exploration of the fascial and fluidic center of the body. After graduating chiropractic school in 2006, and having studied the pelvis via Gonstead and Bogduk et al, my pelvis studies continued to include Fred Mitchell Sr DO and then the penultimate, Join me for a day on mastering the basic axes of the pelvis. Anatomy, landmarks, testing…and making a difference with your athletes/patients. Jan 14th.

Come and join us for The Pelvis course in January 2024. I will be teaching the basics of the oblique axes and the H3 axis. Theoretical understanding of the pelvis biomechanics, primarily from Fred Mitchell Sr.’s work. Clinical application and testing as well. Great course for tying it together/ introduction to complexity and the pelvis/ how to manage and test for proper biomechanics!
Jan 14th, 2024. $475 if paid by Jan 1st!

Thanks a million you two, I had a great time!

Thoracic Diaphragm Normalization course is getting closer. Early bird ends Dec 15th! Don’t miss a course that is imperative if you are addressing breathing, breathwork and athletes!
We will cover a multitude of important LINKs… 3 distinct parts of QL, falciform of liver, xiphoid fascia, all parts of anterior abdominal wall, and many more!

ProSport Chiropractic in Vegas is a wrap! What a great group of eager docs and students. Lectured on Space & Flow of the MSKF system. Fluid / Fascia and BioTensegrity. OsteoArticular pumping of scapula. 5 joints of shoulder complex. And everyone’s favorite…Pool Therapy and why Plug In units aren’t the same! thank you and

Join me in Vegas this Friday and Saturday. “Table Talk” will include a lengthy discussion about the importance of the Deep Structure. What keeps us all together? Why is the Deep Structure often neglected in evaluation and treatment? If the pelvis is stuck, you can do all the glute max stretching you like…

Don’t forget the Thoracic Diaphragm Normalization courses are coming soon! Online Theory w Dec 17th, then the practical 2 days Jan 12/13th. Early bird pricing until Dec 15th.
Learning the specifics of QL treatment, arman Jean fascia, ligaments of henle (posterior)…. To name a few!

Complexity in Clinical Reasoning. My goal is to take you on a journey of my own Patellofemoral case. Exam findings, imaging, treatment, specific exercise, modalities and progress notes. I’ve had PF pain in my R knee one other time in my life. When my oldest daughter was born, and gym/bike/surfing time was difficult to come by. Once I started training, doing MyoFascial Stretches, specific segmental proprioception and Eldoa it all went away. That was 5 years ago. Since then, I’ve trained my lower body, upper, trunk etx segmentally and functionally at least 3x per week. Nothing changed as of recent, except I started Mtn biking again to gain back my mitochondrial health/ aerobic capacity…pg1

Jan 14th, 2024 I’m launching the first of a series titled “The Pelvis.” There will be anatomy to review before the course beginning with the Deep Structure. The Osteology & Arthrology is the cornerstone to understanding The Pelvis! The clinical application portion will be an overview of the oblique axes and the H3 axis. Don’t forget Jan 12th and 13th is Treatment of Thoracic Diaphragm!

Coming up next!! specific treatment of the Thoracic Diaphragm. Does your patient or athlete have a difficult time getting a deep breath, even after a long time of practicing breath work? Many patients have a tight diaphragm that needs treatment and specific exercise! In January I will cover 52 techniques for normalizing all LINKs. Then we will have an extra day on The PELVIS. Join us!!!

Follow up to my last post. If you are curious about this non-fixed dissection specimens and/or references for viewing more “life-like” material. Check out the Color Atlas of Anatomy by Rohen et al, which also includes great simplified pictures of the direction of muscles in relationship to others! Also, has an endless online video collection of all parts of the human body!

ICYMI. 3rd and final question from last week’s webinar . Doc, hey did you mention the dissection experience and the type of chemical preparation in the specimen? Answer: The chemicals (or lack thereof) used in the preservation of the specimen is directly related to your viewpoint of the human body that you treat or rehabilitate. The formaldehyde (formalin) concoctions used, dehydrate the fascia/tissues that we are so intrigued to study. If it’s dry, you the therapist thinks it’s dry…but it isn’t…

In case you missed it! 2nd question posed at end of the lecture. Hey doc, why did you mention sauna in relationship to your discussion on moving water in the body? Answer: the basics are a) movement of blood and lymph are accelerated w/out any expenditure b) the movement of extra/cellular fluids gets equalized throughout the body c) the plasma and CSF get renewed faster… and many more! Check out for sauna courses and how to implement!!

In case you missed it! A little Q&A from yesterday’s webinar with 1 of 3 questions posed. Doc, how do I treat differently to better respect the fluidity of the the body/ fascial system? Answer: perhaps try and use less force at end range on a restricted joint and instead use 50 reps of of a gentle rhythmic oscillation, adding decoaptation whenever possible OR Move your client or patient in a pool, fully suspended, using simple movement patterns related to the affected kinetic chain OR better yet, come and study OsteoArticular Pumping in February 2024!

Now that I have an extra minute, let me further explain my last post.
This image comes from a book by Igor Burdenko PhD. Who Bill Knowles studied with, early in his career. This pyramid reflects the importance of 6 different qualities of an athlete and patient. The ⭕️ show the main focus of training in the US. The lack of foundational balance/coordination etx can lead to a boat load of pain, dysfunction and lack of performance (although it gives us a never ending supply of athletes). Specifically hamstring injuries. The success rate, IME, not only has to do with a lense for the deep structure quality but a lot of times the lacking of the inferior 4 qualities in this pyramid. How many athletes with with HS injuries are explosive and fast and strong?… Have a great weekend.

A spot just opened up! I’m hosting one of the worlds experts in pool rehab/therapeutics and performance this weekend in Huntington Beach. It’s a private course I arranged with Bill Knowles and I just had a student cancel.
If you want to learn from the best on how to get the body/joint/athlete to move more fluidically and recover from surgery or injury faster…PM me and I’ll get you the details!!

Fascia basics. “Fascia” has 3 major components. Fibers, Cells and Matrix. Therefore, it is not just Fibers. Which of them have a major contribution from WATER? Answer: all of them

Please don’t treat your fascia or someone else’s fascia without respecting the WATER… last slide. What in this MRI doesn’t contain WATER?

What’s up next in your fascia journey? I’m speaking this coming Tuesday 10/10 on a Webinar about “Are you missing 50% of the treatment of fascia?” is hosting me on a webinar. So, what is missing in most of the clinical application/treatment of the body and fascia?….
