The Clinical Link Between CNS Tension and Acute Meniscus Tears

Season 3 · Episode 141

mercredi 10 décembre 2025 • Duration 25:38

Clinicians often zoom in on the knee with an acute meniscus tear, but the body usually has other plans. In this episode, I walk through two client cases who arrived with classic meniscal presentations: pain, swelling, and loss of flexion. But the real driver of their pain at that assessment revealed itself only when I followed LTAP® findings back to the central nervous system.

I break down how CNS tension alters dynamic alignment, hip mechanics, and tibiofemoral arthrokinematics, and why this pattern shows up so often in clients with knee pain. You’ll hear exactly how I used the LTAP® to identify the true restriction and why the CNS initially mattered more than local knee work.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How CNS tension alters gait, hip rotation, and knee loading during daily movement

• Why addressing cranial containers can transform lower-extremity biomechanics

• How simple sensory-driven treatments can reduce symptoms in structurally injured knees

• When to treat locally, when to treat globally, and how to make that call with confidence

This episode Is a practical reminder that system-level clarity leads to better outcomes, whethers it’s in acute or chronic client cases.

Why Acute Shoulder Pain Isn’t Always a Shoulder Problem

Season 3 · Episode 140

mercredi 3 décembre 2025 • Duration 28:10

Can an acute injury, like a sudden shoulder subluxation, still have visceral or neural influences worth treating? In this episode, I unpack why even the most straightforward orthopedic cases often have deeper layers that shape pain, recovery, and movement quality.

I share a case of a collegiate softball athlete whose chronic subluxations suddenly flared after a rough bout of COVID and why her lack of progress with rehab made perfect sense once I assessed her through a whole-organism lens view. You’ll hear how lung restrictions, altered thoracic mobility, and neural tension were driving poor scapular mechanics that her strengthening program could never overcome. A few targeted treatments changed her symptoms instantly and shifted her entire rehab trajectory.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why acute pain presentations often include visceral and CNS influences, even when trauma is obvious

• How post-infection thoracic mobility changes can alter scapular mechanics and create instability patterns

• How to differentiate true tissue instability from altered neural output

• Practical ways to influence supraclavicular, phrenic, and brachial plexus input when local loading isn’t tolerated

This episode will help you sharpen your lens for the cases that look simple on the surface but demand deeper, more connected reasoning underneath.

Raising The Bar On Patient Outcomes

Season 3 · Episode 131

mercredi 24 septembre 2025 • Duration 24:10

Do you really think 60–80% success rates over 2 weeks to 8 months is successful? I don’t.

In this episode of the Unreal Results podcast, I answer a great question someone recently asked me in the Missing Link Facebook group: what are my success rates? I break down why I think the industry average doesn’t cut it, and why I confidently guarantee results in just 1–3 visits.

I also dig into what “success” actually means, why context and nuance matter, and how clarity in assessment can shift outcomes, sharing real-life cases from pro athletes to clients with complex, long-haul health issues.

If you’re tired of mediocre results being considered “normal,” this episode will give you a fresh perspective on what’s possible for your clients and for you as a clinician.

C-Sections, Back Pain, and Scars

Season 1 · Episode 39

mercredi 22 novembre 2023 • Duration 48:36

In this episode I share how the understanding of Phillip Beach's contractile field theory of movement provides new context for c-sections and back pain.

I also discuss the anatomical connections of the uterus and ovaries to the hard frame of the skeleton, the role the scar and the loss of cutaneous sensation may play in back pain and recovery.

In addition I share my go to approach on how to assess and treat any scar with manual therapy and inhibition testing.

Accessing the Parasympathetic Nervous System without Focusing on Breath!

Season 1 · Episode 38

mercredi 15 novembre 2023 • Duration 46:29

In this episode I break down the various parts of the anatomy and physiology of the parasympethic nervous system.

Understanding these parts provides insight on how simple things can help shift into improved parasympathetic tone and robustness of the autonomic nervous system.

I provide easy approaches that are often more powerful or accessible than using breathing exercises alone.

Swelling Protocol Update

Season 1 · Episode 37

mercredi 8 novembre 2023 • Duration 42:39

In this episode I revisit the MovementREV Swelling Reduction Protocol as I released the updated FREE download. Reviewing the key spots of the protocol I explain what revisions I have made and how to utilize it in its most powerful form- integrating it with the LTAP (locator test assessment protocol). I also share what sequence to choose if you have not yet learned the LTAP.

Listening to the Body

Season 1 · Episode 36

mercredi 25 octobre 2023 • Duration 57:21

In this episode I take a deep dive into what it means to "listen to the body" both from a personal standpoint and as a professional working with another body.

I share my thoughts on how important it is to regain and improve awareness of the sensations in the body and how to identify how we feel when we feel safe and feel how truth feels.

During the episode I also discuss the difference between listening with our ears to what stories the patient or client is sharing vs. listening with your hand, and why we cannot get distracted by the story or our belief system creating bias and searching for evidence to further support our beliefs.

I encourage the listener to practically apply some of these concepts with contemplation, body scans, and to change the order of operation of a typical assessment and treatment session.

Tongue Twister

Season 1 · Episode 35

mercredi 18 octobre 2023 • Duration 39:43

In this episode I share my experience attending the Tongue Mojo webcast from Stop Chasing Pain. After years of symptoms related to issues with my esophagus, trachea, stomach, and mouth, I am realizing how important the tongue is!

I took Dr. Perry's course in hopes to see how he practically integrated the tongue with the rest of the body and to learn some exercises to start on before deciding to go the route of a potential tongue tie release (frenectomy).

In this episode I share a bit about the anatomy, why the tongue is so important, and what my progress has been after just a few days of practicing what I learned.

'Psoas' I Was Saying...

Season 1 · Episode 34

mercredi 11 octobre 2023 • Duration 35:52

Inspired by a recently anatomy image of the relationship between the psoas muscle and the lumbar plexus nerves, this episode shares my thoughts and approach to "tight" psoas muscles and poor hip flexor performance.

I discuss the role the psoas plays with the viscera, nervous system, and movement and offer my thoughts on assessment and simple treatments that don't really involve endless stretching, smashing, or strengthening of the psoas muscle.

Join me on this anatomical exploration!

Assessment is Sexy (with guest Lex Lancaster)

Season 1 · Episode 33

mercredi 4 octobre 2023 • Duration 49:03

My friend and colleague Lex Lancaster is back on the Unreal Results podcast, this time sharing about her experience with long standing shoulder pain.

While she was in San Diego helping me out with a course I was teaching we were able to find a 30min window to assess and treat her shoulder using the LTAP (locator test assessment protocol).

Her "historically problematic shoulder" which she described as stabbing 9/10 pain- gone with a 25-30 min assessment and treatment session directed at her liver and diaphragm, and C4. This one session allowed her to not only play 6hrs of volleyball over the next couple days, but in the same week lifted 1-2 upper extremity heavy focused strength training days without pain! I treated her again briefly 6 weeks later when I visited her in New Hampshire- which was more for my own curiosity of how her tissues and mobility felt and now 7 months later she is still pain free and doing volleyball and strength training without issue! She even admitted to not doing any of the home exercise program I gave her. Lol

In this episode we chat about how that changed her mindset about physical therapy and how it highlighted just how important the assessment is and how understanding the anatomy and connections of the viscera can help everyone treat from a new lens of view even without having training in visceral and neural manipulation techniques.
