We call these airhunger squats! The idea is to exhale first and the hold your breath. Squat as many times as you can until you feel mild airhunger. Then stop and recover your breathing through your nose. I usually have people complete two bouts before testing pain and mobility. Over the years I’ve had dozens of clients who stated that they’ve tried everything and nothing helped. Then after 2 bouts of airhunger their pain is either gone or improved. 🤯 Why? Simply put, the rise in co2 levels help

The tongue is a very sensory rich organ. How do you know? Because five cranial nerves supply it! 🤯 From a survival perspective it’s a critical midline structure involved in several things that help keep you alive (breathing, speech, eating etc). That means your brain thinks it’s function is important! 🧠 The tongue plays a big role in posture as well. If you have a breathing issue, you likely have a tongue position issue. If you have a forward head posture you likely have a weak tongue. If you

Yesterday’s balance work!🔥Some trunk motion VORc using a metronome. ▫️ The eyes stay merged with the head and neck and maintain fixation on the visual target while the trunk is in motion. ▫️ Remember! To truly train and rehab balance you must involve the head/neck and eyes!👀 ▫️ This looks easy... but it’s very difficult. Especially in the staggered stance. Try it at 40 or more BPM using the metronome. You will fall over... just say’n🙅🏻‍♂️ and if you’re an athlete that’s unacceptable😋 ▫️ Ves

In this demonstration I work through 3 colors moving from the least amount of brain activation to the most brain brain activation. Green, red, blue. And for me, blue was probably a little better then red as I felt like I just had more ease hanging out in the end range of motion. And then of course I to

If you have annoying wrist and hand mobility issues or carpal tunnel like pain, the median nerve is very important! Option 1: Median Nerve tensioning Option 2: Median nerve slacking (hold for 30 sec with relaxed breathing). Option 3: Median nerve tensioning slacking Remember to keep any neural tension sensations super gentle. A 3/10 for intensity is the rule. Send this to a friend who needs it!

Exercise steps: 1. Lengthen up 2. Create large tongue circles by tracing a circle around the inside of your lips. 3. Stack with vertical pursuits using the tip of a pen as your target 4. 5-10 reps and retest your neck and hips Common mistakes: 1. Slouching into a forward head posture and substituting upper cervical extension for tongue protrusion. If your neck hurts you’re likely doing that. 2. Using excessive jaw motion. Try and keep your jaw as still as possible. Use your free hand and touch y

Yep, it looks REALLY strange! 🥴 Go gently! And whatever you think is gentle. Go even more gentle. Use a 3/10 for intensity. The goal is NOT to hold the stretch for time. The goal is to make it more active moving in and out of a full range of motion. By using your hands you can stabilize and distract the TMJ for a unique joint mobilization. 1.

If you’re helping your clients to get stronger with classical strength exercises directed at the posterior chain, you should also be teaching them vestibular exercises! Why? Because their improvements in strength, stabilization and posture will skyrocket. The vestibular system is the primary source of descending neural control for the spinal and leg extensors. If I told you there was a secret control center for all those muscles that you wanted functioning better, would you ignore it? 🤔 Well, t

Here’s a really cool exercise with some really surprising results. This is technically called a VOR-c. Which stands for vestibulo-ocular cancellation. It’s a reflexive action that cancels the Vestibulo-ocular reflex so that you can keep your eyes fixated on a moving target while you rotate any part of your midline. We’re making a tweak to the classical VOR-c and putting emphasis on peripheral vision! 🎯 So when you do this, make sure that you bring all of your attention to what’s in the room usi

The most ignored body areas are some of the most important! 1. Your eyes! If it’s a good idea to bring your joints and muscles through their full range of motion then why would you ignore your eye muscles? Especially since most of the sensory input that we receive for movement and understand our external environment comes from our visual system! 2. Neck! There is a lot of important anatomy that lives in the neck. Having good mobility and proprioception here is key for longterm health. Your neck

I hear this a lot … “I tried pelvic floor exercises but they didn’t seem to do much.” It’s common for therapists to struggle to get pelvic floor exercises to carry over into real world function. Why? Because the pelvic floor is part of a reflex system and most people only approach it through voluntary movement. This is the equivalent of asking a GPS to work properly without a satellite signal. The pelvic floor is complex in the fact that it has many muscles that require bilateral symmetric contr

We teach our students to test this cranial nerve and 11 other pairs because they are all extremely important to your health and function.

Pencil pushups (to the tip of your nose) is a vision exercise that stimulates cranial nerves 3 and 4. Cranial nerves 3 and 4 originate in the midbrain (top of the brain stem). Also in the midbrain is the mesencephalic nucleus for trigeminal nerve which recieves propriceptive information from the jaw. Which means, certain vision exercises have

Trigeminal nerve is a beast of a nerve! It’s both a sensory and motor nerve which means it supplies both muscles (think chewing) and the skin (think feeling sensation). Stimulating it can be a very useful tool for improving extensor tone because it originates at the level of the brainstem (Pons). And the brainstem is a control center for muscle tone, posture, reflexive stability, breathing, autonomic control and pain inhibition. It has a huge influence on movement.
