You are not crazy for feeling like you are missing something in your assessment or treatment.

There is.

But it is probably not another technique, exercise, manual therapy trick, or cue.

And it is not that your patients are too complex, too chronic, too inflamed, or too “noncompliant.”

More often, the missing link is in your assessment framework.

Because great treatment does not always lead to great results when you are treating the wrong priority.

A lot of clinicians were taught to look at pain, symptoms, movement dysfunction, strength deficits, or biomechanics and start there.
But the body is smarter than that.

What looks like the problem is often a compensation.
What hurts is not always the driver.
And what seems tight, weak, or unstable may actually be part of the body’s strategy to protect the organism.

That is why so many good clinicians keep ending up with inconsistent results.
Not because they are bad at treatment.
Because they are missing a clearer way to assess what the body actually wants first.

This is the missing link.

A whole-organism assessment process that helps you identify where to start so your treatment creates more global change, better carryover, and results that actually stick.

That is exactly why I created upcoming 2-part live virtual training: The Missing Link in Orthopedic Rehab.

If you have been feeling like there has to be more going on in the cases that do not fully add up… you are right.

First in-person course of 2026 in the books with this crew in Eugene, OR. Huge thanks to Slocum Orthopedics for hosting and to for being the best TA. It is always so good to be back in my college stomping grounds and to show some friends around campus.

One of my favorite parts of these weekends is seeing the arc of learning unfold in real time.

Most clinicians come to LTAP® Level 1 because they already sense something is missing in traditional ortho and manual care. Their patients are not consistently getting better, outcomes do not always stick, and they want a clearer, assessment-driven way to connect visceral, neural, and musculoskeletal factors so they can know where to start and get better results.

The course and the LTAP® give these professionals a protocol and framework for assessment that helps them integrate all of their tools within a whole-organism paradigm. A model that honors the influence of the viscera and nervous system on the musculoskeletal system and biomechanics.

When I teach, one of my goals is to challenge some of the deeply held beliefs of the old rehab paradigm, especially the idea that we must be the expert. So often, that label creates a fear of “not being right,” and that fear keeps us from staying curious, calm, and observant of all the ways the body is showing us its wisdom and direction.

I’m grateful there are so many professionals willing to rise to that challenge, do better for their patients, and return to a more scientific curiosity about the complexity and brilliance of the human body, especially its ability to change and heal quickly.

Can’t wait for the next one. Who’s joining me?

Most clinicians assume inconsistent results mean they need:

• more treatment techniques
• better exercises
• more certifications
• more experience
• or blame the patient- noncompliance, time, “can’t help everyone”

But that’s usually not the problem.

The real issue?

Starting treatment in the wrong place.

You can be incredibly skilled at manual therapy, exercise prescription, dry needling, cupping, or rehab programming…

…but if treatment doesn’t start in the right area, the body often continues protecting itself.

That’s when clinicians see things like:

• improvements that don’t stick
• symptoms returning a few days later
• needing weeks of treatment to get meaningful change
• certain patients who just never seem to respond

And it leaves great clinicians wondering:

“What am I missing?”

The biggest shift in my own practice happened when I changed how I assessed the body.

Instead of choosing where to treat based on symptoms or biomechanical assumptions, I started using an osteopathic-style assessment that lets the body direct where treatment should begin.

The result?

Often 80–90% of objective dysfunctions improved after treating an area that initially seemed unrelated.

Not because the treatment changed.

Because the starting point changed.

And once you start in the right place, almost any treatment tool becomes more effective.

That’s the missing link.

If you want to learn how to apply this in your own practice, join me for my upcoming 2-part virtual training:

One of the most common assumptions is that low back pain is the lumbar spine.

More times than not when you ask the client to point to where it hurts it is the sacrum.

This then should have you thinking a completely different index of suspicion and have you asking different questions!

This week’s episode of the I discuss a case of “low back pain” that was actually the sacrum which lead to discovering it all started after a kidney stone.

Luckily have an assessment like the LTAP®️ also picks up these things but it is so important to still ask good questions and create an index of suspicion based on all relevant information.

This little trend I love.

But really though these are some deep truths that I share with you all.

This is what happens when you begin to shift perspective away from a biomechanical model of assessment and treatment towards a more whole organism paradigm. A model that considers the viscera and the nervous system and honors the wisdom of the body. The innate and deeply embedded cellular intelligence that has the capacity to create, develop, heal, and survive.

Our structure and function is always driven by the organisms drive for survival… movement dysfunction, pain, injury always have a deeper driver. I promise it’s not just a weak core or turned off glutes a stiff ankle or a rib flare. It’s deeper than that and honestly much more simple to get results!

Join me March 22nd and March 26th for a 2-part training series: The Missing Link in Orthopedic Rehab and learn how ONE change to your PT or AT assessment can help you get immediate results for you clients!

In this week’s episode of the , I walk through a recent clinical case of mine involving a Navy SEAL BUD/S candidate who came in with persistent “back pain.” Once he pointed more specifically to the sacrum, the case immediately changed direction and led us down a very different path involving visceral drivers, kidney irritation, and neurovascular patterns.

I share how location-specific questioning, structured assessment, and developing a strong index of suspicion can uncover connections between the viscera, nervous system, and musculoskeletal system that are easy to miss.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Why sacral pain should immediately shift your clinical questioning

• How kidney and urogenital organ irritation can refer pain to the sacrum and knee

• How tools like the LTAP® fit into broader clinical reasoning and assessment

• Why asking the right questions can completely change the direction of treatment

If you’re a health or movement professional interested in improving your diagnostic thinking and getting better outcomes with complex cases, this episode will help you refine how you assess presentations that don’t follow the usual patterns.

2-part live virtual training series: March 22nd + March 26th, 2026 at 12pm - 1:30pm PDT

One of the things I hear from PT (physical therapy) and AT (athletic training) professionals is that in their day-to-day, they get good results, but they feel like they are still missing something. That “something” prevents them from having the confidence to guarantee those results for their clients and leaves them wondering if it is possible to have even better outcomes like fewer treatment sessions needed.

Most professionals overlook the influence of the viscera and nervous system on pain and function. They also struggle to trust the body’s wisdom to guide treatment, ultimately guessing where to start.⁣

When you know where to start by listening to the body you will get fast results that stick using ANY tool or treatment approach you like (yes, ANY tool: manual therapy, massage, dry needles, cups, exercise, pilates,
neurology, IASTM, tape, whatever floats your boat 😜.)

I’ve helped thousands of professionals break free from this cycle by making ONE change to their assessment. They’ve gone from frustrated and stuck to confident in their ability to guarantee results, even in complex cases without having to learn another treatment system.

Now it’s your turn!

In this training, you will:

- Learn how to apply the 1st assessment test of the MovementREV LTAP® (The Locator Test Assessment Protocol® a sequence of five orthopedic-based assessments that guide you to where the body wants to begin treatment. It reveals the area that will create the greatest global change and restore optimal dynamic alignment and self-healing capacity.)

- Discover how to shift perspective from a biomechanical and orthopedic paradigm to a whole organism paradigm- one that considers the viscera and the nervous system.

- Additional FREE BONUSES for attending the live virtual training valued at $254. These bonuses are EXCLUSIVE to The Missing Link and are not offered anywhere else.

- Lifetime access to the recordings of the live trainings and tutorials.

DOORS CLOSE MARCH 22nd AT 12PM PDT

Cheers to 12 years of MovementREV! 🥂🎉

It’s always fun to look back at where it all began.

This photo was the first day after quitting my job as Director of Performance Physical Therapy at EXOS, spending a beautiful spring day in the Arizona sunshine with my besties.

We brainstormed what I wanted to do next and what it would be called. I landed on variations of Movement Revolution and bought about 10 domain names on GoDaddy… which I’m sure was fueled by the Moscow Mules. 🍹

But what really started that day was a journey of learning how to take care of myself. Losing my mom to lung cancer shaped two truths that changed everything for me:

1. In rehab and performance, we are doing a huge disservice by not considering the viscera and nervous system and their role in pain, injury, and movement dysfunction.

2. Not caring for my own body and wellness was limiting both me and my clients. I thought I was being a martyr, putting everyone else first, but that mindset was actually weighing on my happiness, fulfillment, and outcomes.

For the next 8–12 months I worked with only a few athletes, traveling to them during their season while focusing on rest, journaling, meditation, learning, movement and feeling more.

Eventually I opened a small brick-and-mortar space and started seeing more clients and traveling more.

Around that time a colleague asked me what my rehab philosophy was and I realized I didn’t fully know yet. It took years to separate what I believed from what we had created at Athletes’ Performance / EXOS and to feel proud articulating my own approach.

I could have never imagined what MovementREV would grow into or the community surrounding it today.

So grateful for the last 12 years and excited to keep pushing the mission and vision forward.

The vision:
To revolutionize rehab and performance by shifting away from purely biomechanical models toward a whole-organism approach—integrating the nervous system, visceral influence, and osteopathic principles into orthopedic care.

Happiest of birthdays to the director of operations !

I am endlessly grateful for you as a friend, a colleague, and a co-worker.

Thank you for loving MovementREV as much as me and being passionate about changing the industry with me.

For all the times I want to stick my head in the sand like an ostrich and just retreat or burn it all down I am endlessly grateful for you being there to keep things going and let me rest.

Everyone wish her HBD! 🥳

And round and round we go…. 🎠

But here is the thing, you have to consider that there are multiple ways to treat something and if one tool, technique, or exercise isn’t working there are more options.

A lot of the time it requires a blend of them.

This week’s episode of the is all about the popliteus and why understanding its anatomy and function can open up options for treatment to make cranky knees happy again!!
