Off to teach tomorrow in Manhattan, course is Fr--sat Nov 14-15. I am covering common patterns throughout the body in addition to my lumbopelvic-hip-coccyx material. It is an experiment to see if my health issues will allow me to travel, so I am adding an extra day in advance. Southwest cancelled my flight, and I was able to get a better outbound time.

Spontaneous feedback on my Lumbopelvic-hip online course August 2025
"This work, your work, is powerful, valid, and important.
Thank you so much for this work - I'm so excited to see someone has gone further
I always felt there was more to learn in this sacral pelvic hip lumbar area - more angles and types of testing that I hadn't learned or worked out yet.
I'd started some kind of rudimentary springing (perhaps Brian Tuckey of Fascial Strain Counterstrain introduced the concept to me some years ago) on major bony landmarks on pelvis myself and had started to notice that even though positionally people were corrected their bones didn't FEEL like they wanted to stay corrected - this was my sense of the positive springing beginning. I see that you have developed it keenly and wonderfully, and I fully intend to investigate it thoroughly.
The likelihood of me doing your whole-body course is very high, but not just yet - a lot to digest and apply already in this course, and many repeats and revisions needed - thanks again!"
Kind Regards,

Sacroiliac Nonsense. I am consulting with a woman whose MRI shows severe nerve root impingement at the L4-5 nerve root. She goes to a pain doctor who does not look at the MRI but pushes her to get a sacroiliac injection and starts selling her on his sacroiliac stabilization surgery $$$$$$$ I have no idea why. She picked up on the inappropriateness of his offerings and cancelled the follow-up. Wise call.

Yesterday's patient presented with all positive signs for lumbar radiculopathy. It was her second visit and I had not made much impact, ditto for chiropractic and traction. Found blocked superior glide of the ilium, blocked inferior glide and the key is that her sacrotuberous ligament was rock hard. I concluded it to be a downslip but it could also be a side bent ilium pattern imaging date with this clinical presentation is lacking. Some say downslip does not exist but they do not use the Hesch load-spring-recoil micromotion testing. I found the ideal angle for superior glide through the lower extremity which was about 15 degrees adduction in supie. She can now stand and walk with 50% reduction in foot numbness and tingling and she can now rotate right and extend without enhancing local and referred symptoms.
If downslip/side bent ilium fixation is a valid construct the mechanism might be traction on the sciatic nerve or its blood supply at the sciatic notch. I owned an anatomical specimen and I could have cut steak with the sharp roof of the sciatic notch, surely an under-appreciated anatomical attribute.

Help w Microsoft 365
They want you to sign in to tell them you need help signing in!
They have their phone numbers hidden until you sign in!
I call the local Microsoft store, no answer.
Do any of you have a legitimate phone number to call for help?
thank you

How exciting we now have 60 sacroiliac joint fusion systems to fuse your main shock absorber and force transducer, why because a general injection and sloppy tests say go for it - it is the standard of care! (A very small % do need it from severe trauma). Greed and ignorance drives the bus.https://thespinemarketgroup.com/updated-202460-mis-sacroiliac-joint-fusion-systems-to-know/
