The longer I do this, the more I realizeโฆ
Some of the most useful things Iโve learned about the body sound completely backwards at first.
Not because theyโre controversial.
Because they challenge a lot of the assumptions weโve been taught to accept as fact.
Here are 8 of them ๐

Your MRI is not your prognosis. The body adapts. Stop reading scan results like a death sentence.

That hamstring isnโt tight because it needs stretching. Itโs guarded because something around it isnโt capable yet. Stop stretching the brake.

The fix is usually more movement, loaded better, not less. Motion is lotion.

It builds a trunk thatโs resilient and durable. Demonizing flexion has hurt more people than flexion ever did.

Knee, hip, low backโฆIโm usually going to send you to the floor first.

A sauna wonโt fix a hip that hasnโt moved right in 15 years. The modality was never the strategy.

Different question. Different test. Different plan. And suddenly itโs not so chronic.
