// 2023 CHANNEL UPDATE //

I’ve moved on from Mobility Mastery (self fascia release) in order to focus on teaching Kinetix, my method of root cause discovery for pain and dis-ease that involves partner fascia release as a “diagnostics” (and regeneration) tool. Kinetix is a complete scientific methodology that I teach to friends, partners and professionals alike inside The Kinetix Academy.

My other primary focus will be the launch and growth of a new podcast and Substack community called The Human Freedom Project.

// NEW CONTENT ON YOUTUBE //

Sometime in 2023 I will return to YouTube with HFP podcast episodes and content created to help you know and understand yourself as a whole organism made of body, soul and spirit. This content will feature the Kinetix methodology, pain science, fascia secrets I’ve learned from 15+ years in private practice, neuroscience and evolving beyond the brain, trauma and the body, and more! I’m excited to go on this new adventure with you.

Back pain, specifically low back pain, is the #1 pain complaint in the world.

Back pain is the most common complaint that family physicians hear aside from the common cold. Why is back pain so prevalent?

Your brain would rather you be in pain than dead. When you get a pain signal, it’s not your body annoying you or trying to stop you from living a full life. Pain is a sign that you’re in danger, or at least - that your brain thinks you’re in danger.

Why would your brain think you’re in danger?

One of your body’s primary jobs is to assess threats that could shorten or end your life, and one of the most dangerous scenarios we can encounter is a loss of communication between the brain and body. The brain communicates with the body via the spinal cord, or central nervous system (CNS). Aka, your SPINE.

Any potential threat to your spine will get rushed to the front of the line for priority consideration by your brain. And what is your brain’s job at that point? To get your attention. What gets your attention more than anything else? PAIN.

But just because you have back pain doesn’t mean anything is actually “wrong” with your spine. Your brain has simply detected that there is a danger somewhere to your spine and CNS.

That danger could be as far away as the bottom of your foot or the ball of your big toe, or as close as to the spine as the gluteus medius muscle, which may not be activating anymore.

Whatever the exact reason, your brain has detected pelvic or hip instability, and while your body is amazing at compensating...it can only compensate for so long. Eventually, it can’t compensate anymore and that’s usually when you get a pain signal.

You have more nociceptors (threat detectors) in your low back than anywhere else in your body. No wonder low back pain is so prevalent! But just because those nociceptors are abundant there doesn’t mean that area is the problem.

Most people, when they experience low back or hip pain, dig into their back muscles or their glutes, have a massage therapist get in there and try to loosen things up or sit on a ball or foam roller hoping to ease the tightness and pain in that region.

But going to your low back or glute tissue expecting long term relief is like blaming the firemen trying to put out a fire. If you aim the firehose at the firemen instead of the burning building, the very people trying to save your life won’t be able to help you anymore and you likely won’t have a house to come back to.

In the case of low back pain, you can’t blame your low back or hip muscles; instead, you need to find the root cause and figure out why your pelvis, hip or spine became unstable and stabilize it. When you do that you won’t need your low back and glute muscles to tighten up to stabilize your spine, and the pain signal will go away.

The primary reason your pelvis becomes unstable is due to imbalances that build up in your legs over many years of being human. Like a tree that needs strong stable roots in order to stand free and tall (and able to bend in the wind instead of break) your spine needs strong rooted legs that the pelvis can sit atop, and from there the spine can flow and move with freedom, unthreatened.
