  • Back from Barcelona and an Interosseous Foot Injury
    Sep 14 2025

    Thank you to everyone who made our Barcelona Acupuncture Congress a success!

    I give a brief recap of what I talked about.

    Then a college Volleyball player had an injury of the interosseous muscles of the foot.

    Aug 17 2025

    I've been showing this to people in live seminars for years but I'm finally willing to say with certainty that this is repeatable and reliable for relieving the lower leg symptoms from sciatica.

  • Functional Acupuncture for Sports Performance
    Aug 10 2025

    Until now, sports medicine has been highly influenced by the MDs who treat injury so we often follow suit as acupuncturists.

    Functional Acupuncture is always looking at the whole picture. We can treat more than just the injury. We can look up the chain or into the past to find healthy muscles to optimize and improve sports performance and avoid injury.

  • Two New Cases of Hand Tingling and Numbness
    Jul 26 2025

    I very likely resolved two cases of hand tingling and numbness in 1 or 2 sessions.

    NTOS and some other interesting trigger points.

    CORRECTION: I was speaking off the cuff when I called the Lower Trapezius an Downward Rotator. It is, of course, an Upward Rotator. So much for the theory of Lower Trapzius increasing compression with the help of Pec Minor and Levator Scap! Sorry about that.

    The new Peripheral Nerve Entrapment course is on Podia with a discount until the end of July. Use the code JULY100 at checkout.

    It's the most extensive course I've taught on PNEs

  • Self-Treatment for Low Back Pain Prevention (and sometimes acute back pain)
    Jul 13 2025

    In this episode I share my own self treatment to prevent low back pain with point location guidance for each point.

    This is the same protocol I use for pregnant women with sciatica or SIJ pain (without the electric stimulation of course).

    I'm currently running a sale on the new Peripheral Nerve Entrapment course on Podia. The Unlock the Mystery of Chronic Pain course that was recorded in Sydney this year.

    JULY100 at checkout for $100 off. Good until the end of July.

  • Maybe we don't need GLP-1 drugs, maybe we just need to walk more?
    Jul 5 2025

    I think I've been exercise resistant much of the time in spite of working out and eating right.

    Dr. Coyle shows us that we need at least 8500 steps a day for an hour workout to have the metabolic fat-burning effects we want it to have.
