Common mistake with new injuries.

Rest doesn’t have to feel unproductive if you do it intelligently.

When you start to get relief you haven’t had in years you become afraid to “lose” the progress.

This fear is a product of your mind and it’s one of the last things you need to rehab.

You gotta train yourself to go live your life again.

You have the tools. You have the understanding. You are not going back to where you just came from.

You have more sensitivity than you did before and you’ll know how to catch any hiccups much sooner.

Client came to me with inability to raise right arm above 90 degrees without discomfort.

The before video was before the start of her second treatment (and she was able to get a little bit more than 90 degrees).

After the session she experienced full range of motion.

Best part is..we didn’t even work on the shoulder!

Still have some work to do to continue her treatment plan, but these are the results of knowing how to assess and treat dysfunction at its source.

Getting any injury sucks, but the minor ones do a type of damage you don’t really notice.

When you slightly injure yourself you’re shocked at first because it’s painful.

But then some time passes and it heals—not all the way, but enough.

It never fully resolves, so you’re always thinking about it. It is running in the background your entire day.

When you move a certain way or pick something up it slightly reminds you, “oh yeah, it’s still there”.

Slowly you start to adapt. You start to unconsciously schedule your days around it.

You stop doing the things that once gave your days purpose.

This change in behavior is the “sneaky damage” you don’t notice at first.

Before you know it more time passes and you no longer live a life you’re stoked about.

So if you’ve stopped doing the things you love just to avoid a flare up then you might have more “sneaky damage” than you realize.

When you get what you need your nervous system relaxes as a byproduct. Just another great reason why I love what I do! T...

When you get what you need your nervous system relaxes as a byproduct.

Just another great reason why I love what I do!

Thank you to all my wonderful clients!

The components of evaluating your pain.

O.S. Bodywork is Port Huron’s chronic pain solution.

03/14/2026

Posture is one of many tools to use for evaluation, but isn’t a modality in and of itself.

The traditional medicine paradigm has hurt a lot of people.

There are traditional physicians out there who DO care about you and those are the ones I respect the most.

I’m not anti-medicine. I am pro-truth.

I believe working together and recreating the system is in order so that people can thrive and live well.

Posture is a slave to your brain.
