Do you care about COVID?
Probably not.
Probably pretty fatigued by the whole conversation, and just over hearing about it.
I can guarantee you that being fatigued about COVID talk is 100% better than long COVID fatigue.

I’ve developed a number of movements in practice, which have been very useful personally for freeing up restriction in movement -both old problems and new silly things I’ve done to myself- and seem very useful for many of my patients too.

I’ve had a few conversations with patients recently, where I have mentioned that I’m moving towards doing some practitioner education, presenting courses on both DermoNeuroModulation (DNM) and Voodoo Floss later this year. Having written a bunch of course material, and had some discussions about where to hold them, it’s all still a bit of a work in progress, but you can learn more about at my new website!

Occasionally, the response has been, “Oh. Bummer. Am I going to have to find someone else now??”

Training to peak human performance is many things. It also has relevance for people who aren’t looking for a podium finish.
Along with doing it at 10/10 and earning that gold, it’s getting to grips with the subtleties and working at 1/10, slow teaches things fast just doesn’t. Rest is important, so in fact 0/10 is also training. If you don’t rest well, you can’t perform well. Without doing 1/10 well, how will you 10/10 well.

How many muscles are part of your core? How many of those muscles are doing the things they should?

My experiences as I learnt how to find good core function have helped me understand the benefits of some key concepts and some concepts which seem like making it more complicated than it need be, because unfortunately if core function is a little complicated, core dysfunction can be quite complicated and take some unravelling and understanding.
Ask me how I know…….

Ice has gotten a bad rap as a therapeutic option of late, and that’s uncool.
I honestly find it can be a real treat. As did a recent patient, returning for her second visit, to relay that “I didn’t think I’d say this, but icing your neck, ahh, it’s reeeeally nice!”
And of course, cold applications on necks is not something for everyone, but it’s also not the first time I’d had this specific feedback, following my suggestion to give it a try.
Could ice be worth a try for you?

Do you need three visits a week? Do you need to buy $2000 of care?

There are different responses to experiencing pain. Some people cope ok and some people struggle. Some people struggle a lot.

Nobody copes well with pain, though.
Nobody lives without pain, either!

What’s chiropractic about?
A literal translation from its Greek root words would be chiro- (hand) praktikos (practical/practiced) and more loosely, a better translation is ‘done by hand’. Past that, it’s a little complicated to answer easily, as there are many different methods that are employed by different practitioners.
But I can tell you very succinctly what I do, in my own practice, and the most applicable term, is ‘neurophysiology.’
