I had a patient one time that came to me with this square-like pain at the base of their sacrum. I said challenge accepted. Four weeks went by with no change, which is weird because in 6 visits I was moving people out of pain about 75%, so I started to ask questions .

“May I contact the front of the hips?” And that’s when I started to feel all the knots and tissue “tightness” I normally feel with classic LBP. We did some muscle work at the front of the abdomen, and by the following visit , this 6 month old pain just magically disappeared.

I asked more questions, and as it turns out this person was managing PCOS with their primary care doc. That was wild.

This happened again with a construction worker, office workers, yoga teacher, and more.

For now I’ll drop that gem-if the low back is not healing and you’ve done everything you can think of, start to look at the anterior body.

Yes, the power that made the body heals the body, but we still have to know how to manage conditions properly so we can give the body in input it accurately needs.

12/11/25-Directing Vectors to the Spine

🪶 In order to facilitate a global adjustment we have to be precise and accurate. The prerequisites are body awareness and coordination.

🪶Tools like strings can help us visualize vectors so we can figure out how to position our bodies in space. We then practice these vectors over an over and over again before ever placing our hands on people.

🪶Once we know where “we” are in space, we can play 100% attention to the person on the table. This level presence is what helps us help people change their lives.

My favorite part is that I whiffed on Dr. Anna’s right side.

I left it in this video because I want to normalize “making mistakes”. I’ve done this 10k times no lie. And I still “miss”.

This “mistake” shows the difference between the path to mastery and perfection. My response to my “mistake” (I def misread the set up) means Dr. Anna is also allowed to make mistakes. And it’s okay. We are not chasing an external standard of performance, rather showing up with continual intention/awareness.

On my end, this means I need to get back to band work. If you’ve received an adjustment by me you know I’m “good enough”. But “good enough” isn’t my highest expression-I’m here to be myself aka Royal.

Mad love and gratitude that THIS is how I get to show up, and to have a grasshopper that shows up with me.

Thank you 🪶

Thoracic Disc Set Up

🪶Main Points

-I—S compression w/ a merric arch w the thoracic spinous at the center of the palm

-once we feel the “engagement” , sink P-A by using angles and body weight to keep our hands soft . With every exhale sink deeper. DO NOT lose your engament when they inhale

-feel the window, send the force to the basement

🐆 Patient Communication

“I’m goin to perform this new adjustment and the reason why is because i noticed your back needs more attention/a different approach (something). These don’t always “pop”, so don’t focus on the pop. Focus on your breath”

Teaching Cervicals: “it’s not about locking the joint and shooting through it. We gotta figure out what ROM the system actually needs”

We learn a lot of techniques at school AND the most valuable skill is to be able to respond to what’s right in front of us.

80% of the time I DO adjust by lifting the top facet off the bottom , and there’s that 20% of the time when I’m working with a heavily arthritic spine, or a system that has lost a significant amount of its range of motion in any direction.

I use the same principles of ease, of adjusting, into the system, etc. while also adapting to meet the needs of the system that is right in front of me. “Present time consciousness” means knowing when to adjust the way part IV tells us to (Lol).

Every. Day. We work on something different. Sometimes it’s strikes, sometimes it’s adjustments, sometimes it’s breathwork.

This medicine isn’t mine-i made a commitment to sharing it with anyone willing to listen and capable of holding it with integrity, and ecstatic the first Dr. Grasshopper is a bundle of joy with a massive heart and steady smile that shifts energy on its own.

I got the idea in Peru, developed it in Denver , and have started teaching it in Virginia.

Thank you 🪶

I don’t know if you guys know that Chiropractic started in Iowa back when people weee still falling off tractors. If we think about Chiropractic through a historical lens, we understand that back when people were just following off tractors, an impulse to the spine was enough to support the body’s return to equilibrium.

We have been practicing Chiropractic for over 100 years now, and in that time, the sources of injury have changed.

I don’t know a lot of people falling off tractors , but I sure know a lot of people stressed out of their minds because of work, or home, or family.

Because of that, it’s time to update our understanding of the body and injury mechanism .

If an injury happens to result of an outside in force such as a fall or car accident, then healing can be facilitated through the application of an external force into the body. Likewise, if an injury happens because of an internal force such as a fixed perspective, chronic resentment, or explosive anger then an internal force must be applied in order to help integrate those energies or experiences.

If we see people for more than six adjustments and that problem area isn’t healing with the TVP-bilateral-pisiform push, the myofascial distortion probably doesn’t need more ice-it needs to be acknowledged by the brain. Hold, be still, and let them breathe into it.

Match injury mechanism with force application. If they fell, adjust away. If they’re stressed, listen and let them handle it.
