| The Controversy Of The Gillet SI Joint Test | 04 Sep 2024 | 00:49:32 | |
This week on the Unreal Results podcast, I talk about one of my favorite topics - the Gillet SI joint test. Gillet’s test or sometimes known as the March test or Stork test, is typically known for having poor reliability based on previous research. If you’ve been following along for some time, you probably know that said research likes to get thrown around by the EBP police when I make posts on social media. But the often overlooked part of these research studies is that they have lots of flaws and limitations. Make sure you tune into this episode as I break down why the studies on the Gillet test aren’t the best and why I think the SI joint is innately difficult to assess with only one test.

| Movement Compensations Are Not The Problem | 14 Aug 2024 | 00:40:16 | |

This is a replay of the kick off call to the Results Cheat Code- The Missing Link Mini-Course. The SI joint is unique in that it has a direct connection to everything- visceral organs, the central nervous system, the myofascial system, and the peripheral nervous system. This makes it a PERFECT joint to use for a full- truly whole-body assessment. And perhaps this is the reason why SI joint dysfunction is so common yet not always easily treated. The Results Cheat Code will provide you with a new lens of view on an old assessment that will not only make dealing with SI joint issues easy but allow you to see how it influences all aches, pains, and injuries you encounter. Based on the results of the assessment the body directs you to know if the SI joint mobility is being affected by the visceral organs, the central nervous system, or the musculoskeletal thus allowing you to know EXACTLY where to start treatment because when you know exactly where to start treatment you will get better results so you can-

| A Different Way To Treat Achilles Pain - Track Athlete Case Study | 03 Apr 2024 | 00:33:53 | |
Where do I start treatment for an athlete complaining of Achilles tendon issues? The same place I start every evaluation - the LTAP (locator test assessment protocol). This directs me to where the body is protecting and what the underlying driver of changing the dynamic alignment, function, and pain is. I still look at the movement and orthopedics of what was going on and likely stressed the tissue - but the story of something being “tight”, “weak”, or “inhibited” is gone. I talk about all of this and more including my entire breakdown of a recent case I had of a track athlete complaining of Achilles pain.

| The Fundamental Attribution Error and Why You May be the Problem, Not Your Client | 20 Dec 2023 | 00:53:50 | |
I recently posted a thread about the tendency toward settling for mediocrity in our profession. This is actually exactly what keeps us from feeling confident in not only guaranteeing results for our clients but also referring them to other practitioners or back to the doctor for red flags, and advocating for different answers. "It takes time" "You can't help everyone" "Pain is complex" "You can't fix things overnight" "The patient doesn't do their HEP" "The patient doesn't manage their stress" "You will have to live with some degree of pain or limited function because the tissue has changed forever" But in reality, it DOES NOT take weeks and or months to solve their problems, and these beliefs all stem from average or below average (mediocre) results.

| Healing and Wellness: Remade | 06 Dec 2023 | 01:05:37 | |
"Your body is your best friend." parting words from my friend and colleague Daniela Spear. Many people have a hard time both feeling and understanding this, especially those people who have autoimmune diseases. Often in the Western medicine community when someone is diagnosed with an autoimmune disease they are given the explanation that their body is "attacking" itself. It is easy to then understand why it does not resonate with best friend vibes.
