"What would you like to improve?"... "What would you like to do better?" These are the types of questions I ask my clients when they come to see me for an appointment, be it a Functional Integration lesson or a Massage Therapy session. Beyond just wanting relief from pain or wanting to relax, many of us have deeper wishes regarding the way we move, feel, think and experience life. My intention i

s to meet you where you are, and through a process of informative movement and touch, help guide you toward a place of expanding your potential...and perhaps, even expanding your self-image. Results often vary from person to person, but some common responses people have is to feel lighter, taller, more balanced, more fluid, a greater sense of well being, physically, and emotionally. Additionally there are often secondary benefits, maybe not the ones you came in for directly, that can be as varied as finding you have better concentration, endurance, creativity, or spontaneity.

"When we stop to breathe, we’re not wasting time. Western capitalist civilization says 'Time is money' and that we should use our time to make money. We can’t afford to stop and breathe or enjoy a walk or marvel at the setting sun. We cannot afford to lose time. But time is more precious than money. Time is life. Coming back to our breathing and becoming aware that we have a wonderful body— this is life."
-Thich Nhat Hanh, "The Art of Living"

Summer time is upon us here in San Pancho.

A great time to slow down and learn more about yourself, how you move, and how to enhance the way interact with the world.

I’ll be here…will you?

“We can put a man on the moon” … but diagnosing specific problems in the back is still too giant a leap! Mostly.

Especially with a PHYSICAL exam and the so-called “special” orthopedic tests — a hand-crafted, artisanal style of diagnosis, famously more of an art than a science. The SCIENCE reveals that manual examination is only a little better than pointing at random anatomy while blindfolded — even under ideal conditions, never mind the exasperating pressure cooker of healthcare in the real world.

A big part of the problem is just that looking for "specific" causes of back pain is largely barking up the wrong tree in the first place — many popular “biomechanical bogeyman” are much less common and serious than their reputation suggests. The causes of back pain are often more subtle and complex than the failure of one bit of anatomy.

But even when specific points of failure DO exist in the back — when abnormalities that matter actually are haunting a spine — they are really tough to find. Healthcare professionals have an extremely hard time confirming them, either with a physical exam and/or with any kind of medical test or scan. It’s not hopeless, but CONFIDENT and SPECIFIC diagnosis of spinal pain is a bit of medical unicorn — unlike the kind of definitive and specific explanations we have for so many other diseases.

This is a major reason why the idea of “non-specific” spinal pain is a thing: because specific causes are both rare AND elusive.

BIG NEW POST today, an excerpted chapter of my back pain e-book. This one’s for PainSci members and book customers only. It’s about 2500 words (10 mins reading), and there’s also an audio version (40 mins). It contains:

👉🏻 Manual versus medical testing
👉🏻 “Special” orthopedic testing
👉🏻 Maybe not so special
👉🏻 Featured science example: failing to find herniations manually
👉🏻 A diagnostic dictionary
👉🏻 Other evidence about the reliability of physical diagnosis
👉🏻 The salamander’s science summary
👉🏻 You’re not bad at your job if you can’t pinpoint the source of back pain
👉🏻 The take-home message … and the take-to-work message

If you’re a somatic or movement practitioner…

And you’re tired of being lumped in with trendy mobility drills, “fix-your-core” challenges, or shallow TikTok wellness hacks — I see you.

Because what you do isn’t trendy.

It’s transformational.

And it deserves to be in rooms where people get it.

That’s why we created the Let’s Get REAL: Somatics Festival.

A space for the practitioners, teachers, and educators who know this work is about more than movement mechanics.

🧠 It’s brain-body integration.
🧍 It’s learning through sensation, not demonstration.
🔬 It’s neuroscience meets lived experience.
And it’s long overdue.

If you’ve felt isolated in your practice… if you’ve craved deeper conversations about somatics beyond fascia releases and glute activations — this is your space.

Join us.
3 live Awareness Through Movement® lessons next week.
3 honest, wide-open panel conversations the week after.
A whole online community dedicated to meaningful, embodied work.

📅 Starts April 28 — it’s free.

Claim your place and find your people inside:
👉 https://www.movementonlineacademy.com

Let’s raise the standard together.

This field needs your voice.
