Do you have someone who comes in with low back pain?
Do this first — it can change everything. 👇

Before you touch anything else, check the sacrum.

Run your thumbs down to the inferior lateral angles (ILA) —
those two bony landmarks at the lower corners of the sacrum, just before the tailbone.

Now compare:
👉 Is one side sitting higher than the other?

That gives you a huge clue.

What I often see:
🔽 Lower ILA → overactive piriformis
🔼 Higher ILA → guarding multifidus

These asymmetrical patterns can drive tension into L4, L5, S1.

This is where symmetrical treatment fails.
If you treat both sides the same, you’re guessing.
If you treat the pattern, you get results.

For piriformis:
Rotate the leg (~45°), find it near the top of the greater trochanter (not below).
Have them resist → feel it engage → then release.

For multifidus:
Targeted release on the high side.

Restore balance in the system…
and the sacrum will often self-correct.

Chronic back pain.
Sudden onset.
Post-fall.

👉 Check the ILA first.

Work smarter, not harder. 🖤

ISN’T IT IRONIC?

You get a concussion…
and suddenly your brain doesn’t feel like your brain anymore.

You’re dealing with:

• Memory issues
• Brain fog
• Trouble focusing
• Mood swings
• Anxiety or depression
• Headaches that won’t quit
• Fatigue (but somehow also wired?)
• Poor sleep
• Dizziness or balance issues
• Sensitivity to light and sound
• Slower thinking
• Low motivation
• Irritability
• Feeling like “I just don’t feel like myself”

…and more.

⸻

And then you’re told:

“One of the BEST things you can do to heal your brain…
is follow an anti-inflammatory diet.”

⸻

Isn’t it ironic…

That the very injury affecting your brain
also affects your:

• Impulse control
• Decision-making
• Cravings
• Follow-through
• Emotional regulation

AKA… the EXACT skills you need
to actually stick to that diet?

⸻

So instead of meal prepping…
you’re in the drive-thru.

Instead of nourishing your brain…
you’re reaching for sugar, caffeine, and comfort foods
just to feel normal again.

⸻

That’s not a lack of discipline.
That’s brain physiology.

⸻

And THIS is why recovery has to go beyond
“just eat better” or “just rest.”

You need support that works WITH your brain
while it’s healing.

⸻

✨ Nervous system regulation
✨ Brain-based recovery tools
✨ Bodywork that restores function
✨ Simple, realistic strategies that meet you where you are

⸻

Because healing your brain
shouldn’t require a perfectly functioning brain.

⸻

If you’ve been in an accident and still don’t feel like yourself…
your symptoms are real—and they’re treatable.

Book a session or check out our recovery program.
Let’s help your brain come back online—properly.

You can procrastinate
on a lot of things…

Your body isn’t one of them.

Pain doesn’t disappear—
it adapts, compensates,
and spreads.

Ignoring it delays healing.

Listen early. Heal smarter.

Don’t wait
until it’s hard to fix.

Have you been in an auto accident?

Here’s the truth most people don’t know…
More pressure does not get better results.

After an accident, your body is already inflamed and overwhelmed.
Aggressive treatment can actually slow healing and create more pain long-term.

At Soma, we don’t just beat you up.
We work with precision.

Every session is customized to restore your body back to optimal health—because we’re thinking about your future, not just draining your insurance.

And it’s not just physical care…
You’ll also get access to a free app to support the mental and emotional stress most people don’t even realize they’re carrying after an accident.

If you want someone to beat you up, go to a boxing ring.
If you want your body to last, come to Soma.

✨ Results-driven care. Smarter, not harder.

If your brain feels scattered…
you can’t concentrate…
you’re tired…
and you know you need to get things done but just can’t get yourself there…

👉 try this.

This is a blend I learned when I studied clinical aromatherapy, and we used it ALL the time for studying, memory, and focus.

🌿 Lemon + Rosemary + Basil

Mix it like this:
→ 3 drops per tablespoon of carrier oil
→ If you do 3 tablespoons = 9 drops total
→ Split evenly between all three (3, 3, 3)

You can:
• put it in a roller bottle
• mix it in a small cup and inhale
• rub it in your hands and breathe it in

It helps your brain feel clearer, brighter, and more alert—especially when you need deep thinking.

⸻

But also… let’s go deeper for a second.

If focus is really hard for you, it’s usually not just about discipline.
It’s your nervous system + brain chemistry.

For me, after my brain injury, I struggled HARD with focus…
👉 craniosacral therapy literally changed my life.

If you’re local, book with Daniel. Seriously.

⸻

Other things that actually work:

• Neurographic drawing → clears mental overload
• Tapping (EFT) → helps regulate stress + can support neurotransmitter balance
• Breathwork → shifts your state FAST (this is huge for motivation)

And sometimes…
you don’t need another hack…

👉 you just need to stop and reset.

A 20–30 minute meditation can completely reboot your brain.
I use the Silva Method almost every day to reset my nervous system so I can actually move forward.

⸻

Pay attention to this part:

✨ Not everything is unsolvable.
We just aren’t always using the right tools.

You have way more control over your focus, energy, and clarity than you think—especially when you combine these tools with the right support.

⸻

Follow me for more ways to hack your mind, body, and soul
so you can actually feel better and get your life moving again 💫
