A Brain-Directed Approach Empowering You to Reset Your Spinal Tension
(2)

20/08/2026

I didn’t leave chiropractic because I stopped believing I could help people.

I left because I’d found something I believed worked better in the long term: teaching people how to reset these patterns themselves.

That changed everything for me.

What started as a way of influencing the same spinal changes I was looking for with an adjustment eventually became something completely different.

A simple routine people could do themselves.

And importantly, repeat.

Because I now believe repetition is a huge part of changing the protective bracing patterns our brains can keep running long after that level of protection is needed.

I spent most of my life thinking my own spine needed regular adjustments.

Now I see it very differently.

I don’t adjust it.

I reset it.

Is it a muscle back problem or a spinal back problem?

Often, they’re part of the same thing.

The brain uses muscles to brace and protect the spine. When that bracing becomes excessive, spinal movement can become restricted.

That’s why approaches targeting the spine and approaches targeting the muscular control of the spine can both help.

I targeted the spine for 28 years as a chiropractor and helped a lot of people.

I changed direction because I wanted a way to give the brain more frequent input than I could through adjustments.

Resetting is something you do yourself as a short routine.

And in my own testing, the full routine, particularly when repeated twice a day, produced more consistent changes than my adjustments.

Why so frequent?

The brain is constantly predicting and responding to potential threats. Injury, stress, fatigue, previous experience and even ordinary movement can all influence how much it braces.

Sometimes that protection can persist when it’s no longer useful.

Resetting is designed to help the brain let go of unnecessary bracing.

And repetition matters because you’re not just trying to change the muscles once.

You’re trying to change the protective pattern that keeps switching them back on.

I was just looking for a way to make my adjustments last longer.
I never expected it could work better without me.
But that’s what happened.
The movements are so simple people are genuinely surprised when they realise they can self manage.
Especially those who have spent years relying on regular practitioner visits.

For years I thought posture was mostly about muscles, joints and alignment.

After nearly 30 years as a chiropractor, I came to a different conclusion.

I now think the brain is constantly adjusting our posture and movement based on what it predicts we need in that moment. Sometimes those changes are brief. Sometimes, when they’re repeated often enough, they quietly become our normal.

I don’t think protective bracing is only about trauma.

It can also be built from everyday experiences, habits, predictions and repeated responses that gradually become automatic.

I also don’t think these patterns happen one muscle at a time.

The brain organises movement through linked stability patterns that influence the whole body. Looking back, I now believe that’s what I was repeatedly influencing when I adjusted the spine.

That realisation changed everything.

Instead of trying to restore movement by adjusting joints, I started looking for ways people could reset those protective movement patterns themselves.

That journey eventually became Neuromotive Reset. A three-minute reset routine that replaced my adjusting and ultimately led me to leave chiropractic.

I’m still learning.

These aren’t conclusions I reached overnight. They’re the result of thousands of observations that forced me to keep questioning my own model.

The psoas isn’t special because it stores stress.

It’s special because the brain frequently recruits it as part of its protective bracing system.

That’s why so many people feel immediate relief when they stretch it, massage it or lie over a foam roller.

But here’s what I kept seeing over 28 years as a chiropractor:

The release often doesn’t last.

Sometimes the psoas is driving the pattern.
Sometimes it’s responding to the diaphragm.
Sometimes the glutes.
Sometimes the piriformis.
Sometimes the upper body.

In other words, the psoas is often part of a much bigger protective strategy.

That’s why I stopped chasing individual muscles and started mapping the movement patterns the brain uses to brace the spine.

The goal isn’t simply to release the psoas.

It’s to help the brain decide it no longer needs to keep switching it back on.

Building something from scratch at 55 wasn’t part of my life plan.

If you’d asked me ten years ago, I thought I’d still be a chiropractor until I retired.

Life had other ideas.

The strange thing is, I don’t really miss adjusting people.

I miss the relationships. I miss seeing people improve. I miss watching someone walk out smiling after they’d been struggling for years.

What I don’t miss is knowing they’d probably need to come back again.

That was the question I could never stop asking myself.

Why do these patterns keep returning?

That question eventually led me away from chiropractic and towards Neuromotive Reset.

Today I spend my mornings delivering parcels and the rest of my time building something I believe could help far more people than I could ever see in a clinic.

Some days that’s exciting.

Some days it’s exhausting.

But every message from someone who’s moving more freely, sleeping better or getting back to doing something they love reminds me why I started.

I don’t know exactly where this journey will end.

I just know it’s worth continuing.

Your brain protects your spine by creating stabilising muscle patterns.

The hip flexors are an important part of that system. When the brain keeps them braced, they can limit movement through the legs, pelvis and lower back.

Releasing them is often the easy part.

Helping the brain keep them released is what takes repetition.

Resets like this can be repeated throughout the day, giving your brain regular opportunities to decide whether it still needs that level of protection.

Over time, that repetition can help the hip flexors stay more relaxed.

Because the hip flexors are part of a larger stabilising pathway, releasing them can sometimes ease tension well beyond the hips. They connect into the front of the spine and can influence muscle tension all the way up to the neck.

Before you start, turn your head to each side and notice how it feels.

Then do the reset and check again. You might be surprised by what changes.

This isn’t stretching or strengthening.

It’s a neurological reset.

Don’t force the movement. If it hurts, make the movement smaller.

To reset the other patterns that brace the spine, hips, shoulders and rib cage I have a 3 minute full reset program available on my website.

The brain learns protective habits through repetition.

Changing those habits also requires repetition.

That’s something I could never provide seeing people every few weeks.

So instead of trying to become a better chiropractor, I spent years trying to make the process simple enough for people to do themselves.

That journey eventually became Neuromotive Reset.

It’s a good thing our brains never stop protecting us.

The goal isn’t to stop protection.

The goal is to help the brain use the lowest level of protection necessary for the situation we’re in.

And to do that, people need a simple way to reset those protective patterns themselves.

“You discovered physiotherapy.”
“That’s yoga.”
“That’s Pilates.”
“It’s fascia.”

Those were some of the comments after one of my Instagram posts reached more than a million views and gained over 35,000 followers.

I understand why people make those comparisons.

They hear that I use movement to help the brain let go of protective bracing and assume it’s another version of something that already exists.

But movement wasn’t the discovery.

The discovery was finding a way to create a surprisingly large change from a very small amount of input.

A 2–3 minute routine.

No practitioner.

No lengthy stretching session.

No strengthening program.

Just a simple sequence of movements that helps the brain let go of protective bracing affecting the spine, rib cage, shoulders and hips.

What surprised me most was what happened when people repeated it.

Many no longer needed the thing I’d spent 28 years doing for them.

That’s why I left chiropractic.

The unusual part isn’t that movement is involved.

The unusual part is that a simple, self-directed routine repeated throughout the day can create enough change that people become less reliant on practitioners and more confident managing themselves.

That’s the discovery.

This is just 1 of 16 resets.

Each one targets a different protective chain affecting the spine.

Together they form a complete 3-minute routine that addresses the major patterns I spent 28 years adjusting as a chiropractor.

It’s part of a protective chain that helps stabilise your pelvis, lower back and spine.

The problem is these chains often stay switched on long after they’re needed.

That’s why stretching often gives only temporary relief.

This reset gives the brain a chance to reassess that protection.

If it doesn’t need it, the tension eases.

For now, try this reset twice on each side, 2-3 times a day.

Notice what changes.

Not just in your hip.

In your lower back, rib cage, posture and movement.

Because these chains don’t work in isolation.

Neither does the solution.

Reset.
Repeat.
Rewire.
