Around 2018, my knee went from “slightly annoying” to non-functional.
Training became a negotiation between the intensity and the stiffness, heating and pain that would appear afterwards.

At first, movement helped.
Foam rolling the quads.
Then a lacrosse ball on the piriformis.
Then the sole of the foot.
Then knee rotations.
Then glute activation.
Then proprioception.
Then hip airplanes. Speciality of

Every new drill felt like the missing piece.
Yet the knee kept getting worse.

Before leg day, my “warm-up” lasted 45 minutes — just to tolerate training.

Then by pure accident, I grabbed my ACL scar.
15 minutes of scar work created lasting relief.

Training is powerful. It can do things to the body that manual treatment cannot.
But it’s not the answer to everything.

In some cases, manual treatment doesn’t complement rehab — it outperforms it.

LASIK eye surgery doesn’t come without a cost.
Many people experience headaches, a sense of pressure around the eyes or head, and persistent fatigue after the procedure.

Is this you?

A few weeks after LASIK—once the eyes have fully healed—wash your hands and gently explore the surrounding areas. Increased sensitivity, tension, or discomfort may be present and often goes unnoticed.

If you’re concerned about doing something incorrectly, it’s best to consult a specialist who understands how to assess and treat these structures safely and effectively.

People suffering from chronic pain very often notice that there is a border they cannot cross in their training. No matter how they adjust their training intensity, volume, frequency or exercise selection, their pain doesn’t allow for more.

In these cases it has much more sense to relieve some load from the body first. Then it will be much easier to see the benefits from the training.

Many people dealing with chronic pain ask me what they can do on their own—especially when they can’t see me regularly.

Taking action to improve a chronic condition is important.
But sometimes, a crucial part of recovery is doing the opposite: letting go. Even if only for a while.

Constantly monitoring, fighting, and obsessing over pain can actually increase its intensity. For many people, simply observing the sensation—without reacting to it—can significantly reduce how strong the pain feels.

This doesn’t mean giving up on physiotherapy, medication, or training. You can return to those later.
For now, try something different: pause.

Stop trying to fix the pain.
Rest from doing anything about it.
Notice how it truly feels, without judgment.

For some nervous systems, this alone can be a powerful reset

Polina went through orthodontic braces treatment, which left her jaw chronically tight.

Because of this persistent jaw tension, it didn’t take much additional stress for somatic symptoms to appear—such as neck pain and discomfort.

By releasing long-standing jaw and fascial tension, we addressed the root cause of her symptoms, helping prevent them from returning.

Back pain and MRI scans often don’t match.

Sometimes a patient has only mild back pain, but the MRI shows a huge disc prolapse.
Other times, someone has severe pain, yet the scan looks almost completely normal.

Yes—disc issues do exist, and in some cases they can be serious enough to require surgery.
But in the majority of back pain and sciatica-like cases, imaging findings do not correlate with:
• pain intensity
• exact spinal level
• or the side of symptoms

And that’s because, very often, the disc is not the main source of the pain.

If the disc were truly the primary driver, those patients would not improve with treatment focused on the nervous system or fascia—yet many of them do.

📌 Pain is more complex than what an MRI shows.
📌 Treat the person, not just the scan.

In Yulia case, the chronic neck pain was caused primarily by the tight scar and range of motion restriction around the wrist.

Clearing the wrist tightness was like an equivalent of letting go of heavy dumbbell held for years. The neck responded well and this time, the improvement will last.

Can a tattoo contribute to chronic pain or movement issues?

The tattooing process creates repeated micro-trauma to the skin and underlying fascia. Over time, this tissue can become less elastic and more restricted, potentially influencing movement and tension patterns elsewhere in the body.

Try this:
• Gently move and pinch the tissues around your tattoo
• Compare it with areas above, below, and on the non-tattooed side
• Do you feel a difference in glide, softness, or mobility?

Restrictions don’t always cause symptoms immediately—but they can quietly affect the system over time.

Another hip saved, by not chasing the symptom, but by addressing the area, where the actual injury happened.

There is always a root cause, sometimes it’s just in a different place than the symptom is.

Instead of chasing the shoulder pain, we spend 3 sessions performing physiotherapy on the bony spur removal site. The physiotherapy that he didn’t have after the surgery was done but he needed most.

By catching up with the process there, his shoulder got significantly better.

During my recent trip to Italy, I passed the certification exam to become a licensed Fascial Manipulation practitioner — the first in the GCC!

For those who don’t know, Fascial Manipulation is the main model I use in my practice. It’s an evidence-based approach that has proven highly effective in treating both chronic and acute pain through manual therapy — specifically, the manipulation of the fascia. This method connects past injuries, surgeries, and overuse to current symptoms in a logical and traceable way.

I realized the significance of this approach when I saw how many therapists — even those with osteopathy degrees and multiple manual therapy certifications — eventually adopted Fascial Manipulation as the core of their work after being exposed to it.

The same happened to me. Although I hold several other certifications, I can confidently say that FM makes up about 70% of what I do. From now on, I’ll do my best to represent the institute as well as I can.

It’s been a long journey — I began my training in 2022. And it’s not over yet! There are still several workshops I’m eager to complete with them. I can’t wait!
