Unbroken Body Chiropractic

Pretty hard to complain about the office this week.

I’m incredibly grateful to be here in Kona working alongside some amazing Active Release Techniques® providers and treating athletes who have traveled here from around the world.

ART has always impressed me with how efficiently it combines anatomy, movement, and hands-on treatment. Know the anatomy, find what isn’t moving well, treat it, and get people back to doing what they love.

A huge thank you to everyone who organized, coordinated, volunteered, and put in the work behind the scenes to take care of the athletes and make this experience happen. It takes a pretty incredible team.

Beautiful place. Amazing athletes. Great coworkers. Grateful to be a small part of it.

Fascia connects structures throughout the body and plays an important role in how we move.

That’s what makes Active Release Techniques® different. ART takes detailed anatomy and applies it to movement, looking at how muscles, nerves, fascia, and other tissues move and interact.

The ART Fascia course builds on that idea with hands-on training focused on fascial movement, tissue interaction, and restoring function.

That’s why I continue to teach and train. The better we understand anatomy and movement, the better we can assess what’s limiting you and choose the right treatment.

Active Release Techniques® takes anatomy and makes it functional.

Posture is an adaptation to repetition.

Think about how much of your day is spent sitting, driving, working at a computer, or looking down at your phone. None of those positions are necessarily bad. We just spend a lot of time there.

So give your body something different.

That’s one reason I love a foam roller. It’s a simple tool that lets you explore movements you might not get much of during your normal day. Here, we’re simply taking the mid-back into extension and giving the spine an opportunity to move the other way.

Mobility doesn’t need to be complicated. Move in different directions. Explore the ranges you have. Keep using the movements you want to keep.

Your body adapts to repetition. Give it some variety.
If you don’t use it, you lose it.
Movement is medicine.

Can’t feel your core working? Start by looking at your ribs and pelvis.

Core bracing isn’t just about squeezing your abs harder. Position matters. When your ribs and pelvis are well organized, it’s easier to create tension through the trunk and still move comfortably.

And yes, your ribs should move when you breathe. Rib expansion is normal and necessary. The goal isn’t to lock everything down. It’s learning how to breathe without losing your position through excessive rib flare.

Sometimes tightness, limited mobility, or simply not knowing what the position should feel like can make that difficult.

That’s where good feedback helps. Find the position. Feel the difference. Practice it until you can reproduce it yourself.

Align. Breathe. Brace. Move.

Movement is medicine.

Your foot has 26 bones, 33 joints, and more than 100 muscles, tendons, and ligaments. There’s a lot going on in a pretty small space.

So when someone says, “It hurts on the top of my foot,” that’s only the beginning of the conversation.

Is it a joint? A tendon? A muscle? A nerve? Does moving the toes reproduce it? Does changing the position of the foot change what you feel?

Our job is to know the anatomy and use movement and palpation to help narrow down what may be contributing to your symptoms. But just as important, we want you to understand what we’re finding and what your body is telling you.

The more you understand your body, the better equipped you are to recognize when something isn’t moving or feeling right—and know what to do next.

Good treatment shouldn’t be a guessing game.

Pain tells us where to look. Movement gives us more information.

Ever notice that one side just doesn’t move like the other?

That’s pretty normal. We’re not perfectly symmetrical, and we don’t need to be.

What I’m more interested in is whether you have the movement you need for the things you want to do. Can you rotate comfortably? Reach overhead? Squat? Run? Throw? Swing?

In this case, rotation felt completely different from one side to the other, and what was limiting each side wasn’t even in the same place.

You don’t need perfect movement. You want to understand where you’re limited and keep building the capacity to do the things you enjoy.

DM us “MOVE” and tell us what you find.

Pain tells us where to look. Movement helps us find the problem.

Where you feel pain isn’t always where the problem starts. That’s why we don’t want to guess. We start with what you’re feeling, what movements bother you, and what your body is showing us during the assessment.

Then we move. Movement gives us information. We can see what changes, identify which tissues reproduce your symptoms, and start narrowing down what may actually be limiting you.

Once we find something meaningful, we treat it and go right back to the movement that brought you in. Does it hurt less? Does it move better? Can you feel the difference?

That’s the process: listen, test, treat, and retest.

We want you to understand what we’re doing and why we’re doing it. Good treatment should make sense to you, and you should be able to see and feel the progress along the way.

Movement gives us information. Movement measures progress. Movement is medicine.

FAI may be structural, but your symptoms may have a major soft-tissue component.

If you’ve been diagnosed with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), it’s easy to assume the shape of your hip joint is causing all of your hip or groin pain.

But that’s not always the whole story.

Muscles around the hip—including the adductors, hip flexors, and glutes—can become tight, tender, or painful and change how comfortable it feels to walk, squat, run, or exercise.

That’s why you shouldn’t just treat the diagnosis. Look at what hurts, what movements bother you, and which tissues reproduce your symptoms.

Treating the adductors always makes a noticeable difference in how the hip feels.

You can feel the difference right away.

Your hip structure may not change. But how you move and feel can.

Pregnancy changes how your body moves.

As your body adapts, the hips and pelvis take on changing demands. Hip discomfort is common during pregnancy, but that doesn’t mean you simply have to live with it.

Good care starts by understanding where the pain is showing up, how movement affects it, and which muscles and joints may be contributing.

In this case, we assessed the movement, treated the tissues involved, and then went right back to the original movement to see what changed.

The goal isn’t just temporary relief. It’s helping Mom stay comfortable, confident, and moving throughout pregnancy.
