In this episode, I begin a two-part series focusing on how to navigate the shift from being in pain to returning to full, active living.
From 20 Years of Wrist Pain to Helping Others Out of Pain – And Arzina Murji Hasn’t Even Graduated Yet | #390
In this episode, I am joined by certification trainee Arzina Merji to discuss what happens when you shift your approach to pain from looking for a quick, magic fix to understanding movement patterns.
What Happens When a Client Doesn’t Have Awareness? Ideas from 30+ years of helping people reduce and eliminate pain. | #385
In this episode, I explore a common challenge that movement teachers and practitioners face: what to do when a client lacks physical awareness or struggles to describe what they are feeling. I explain why body awareness is essential for creating lasting, transformational change rather than just temporary pain relief. By breaking down the difference between […]
Becoming a Movement Detective 6 of 7: How Barb Eliminated 90–95% of Her Pain by Becoming a Movement Detective | #379
In this episode, I sit down with Barb Morin, who shares her journey from years of chronic shoulder, hip, and flexor pain to becoming 90–95% pain-free. After trying numerous treatments and practitioners without lasting success, Barb discovered a different approach—learning how to become a movement detective and understanding the compensatory patterns that were contributing to […]
What Hills Reveal About Your Movement (and why you can do hills and not hurt your knees, back…etc.) | #372
In this episode, I explore how hills—whether climbing up or going down—reveal a lot more about your movement patterns than they do about your strength. I share why so many people assume hills are a “strength problem,” and how that assumption often misses what’s really going on underneath. From my work with clients post-surgery, dealing […]
Muscles Vs. Segments | #371
In this episode, I introduce a concept that has been reshaping the way I work with clients and train teachers: moving beyond a muscle-focused approach and learning to observe how the body actually coordinates movement. I talk about why trying to “fix” tight or weak muscles can sometimes lead to confusion and limited results, and […]
It’s Not A Muscle Problem – Understanding Compensation Patterns | #369
In this episode, I break down a recent article on compensation patterns and share where I agree, and where I see a gap. While the article frames compensation as a muscle issue, I explain why I view it instead as a coordination pattern shaped by habits, strategies, and how the body distributes load. I walk […]
Relief to Sustainable Results | #367
In this final part of the three-part series, I walk through what it really takes to turn temporary relief into lasting results. I break down why pain isn’t the problem, but rather a signal of deeper patterns in the body—and how learning to recognize subtle “whispers” can completely shift the way I approach healing and […]
Why Relief Doesn’t Last… Yet | #366
In this episode, I build on our conversation about “whispers” in the body and take it a step further—what happens after you start noticing patterns and experience relief. I explain why relief doesn’t always last, why symptoms return, and why that’s not failure, but actually part of the change process. When you understand how your […]
The Pathway of Change: What Getting Out of Pain Really Is | #365
In this episode, I bring together over three decades of clinical observation working with people in pain—from chronic and autoimmune conditions to frozen shoulders, scoliosis, kyphosis, and post-cancer movement recovery. I explore how, beneath these seemingly different presentations, there is a shared process of patterning, awareness, and change rather than a focus on chasing symptoms. […]
