INSPIRATION & EDUCATION

In my practice, I have seen this manifest in many ways. For instance, I treated a woman who was diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia. She had intense face and ear pain (see ear below) and had been to the emergency room many times. She could not drive because of the medication. She was working with her naturopath, chiropractor, ENT, and others. She had taken rounds of antibiotics. What was missing was soft tissue manipulation of the neck muscles—so simple!

But even taking vitamins can be a practice in a routine of love. Some women a

Pronation and supination are two natural foot movements in the gait cycle. The gait cycle is the series of movements that occur when walking. Your foot needs to come off the ground, and your foot needs to land on the ground, and the muscles from the foot to the hip are coordinating those motions. Those muscles are making instant compensations, shifting to keep you moving straight forward. The foot needs to pronate, but overpronation is a strategy of the brain, trying to find

When we talk about hip movement, we are talking about the dynamic movement of the femur as it sits inside the pelvis. Hip motions are flexion, extension, rotation, abduction, and adduction of the thigh (the femur). The movement of the femur moves the pelvis. You can see this during the gait cycle (the walking cycle). When you move a leg backward (extend it), the pelvis moves backward on the same side. The pelvis and the sacrum have their own motions. The pelvis tilts and rota
