Functional Movement Therapy

We had our first Arizona storm yesterday and it came on fast and furious!

Needless to say, we were caught by surprise but luckily not too far from home 🏠

The water came gushing down and I was amazed at how quickly the scenery changed in the typically dry desert conditions.

The moment really had me thinking about how quickly these back pain episodes can come on ,

And how it can be so hard to know that there will be an end to it, especially when you were in the middle of the storm.

If this is you today, I want you to know that there will be an end and that this doesn’t have to be the “new normal”.

If there’s anyway that we can support you in this group, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

At FMT, we believe in a 360 approach to healing

and helping people find the root cause of their issue so that they can solve back pain once and for all 💙

Above all else, stay positive and keep your eye on the rainbows 🌈

Don’t lose the fun with back pain recovery 🫶

This video shows that no matter what your age may be, you can always work for improvement…

and never stop having fun 🤩

Rehabilitation can often feel like work, and work gets exhausting for all of us.

When we slow things down and have fun with movement, we can begin to enjoy it again.

That’s huge for any of us going through what I call “type A Rehab” where we are pushing to be the best even during our healing journey.

Does this resonate with you?

What would healing look like if it were easy?

No bending, lifting, or twisting is a pretty standard set of precautions used after back surgery… 😬

However, being able to perform these motions is really important for moving through every day life. 🙆‍♀️

The scary challenge really happens when you have suffered chronic back pain or a disc herniation 🥵

In that instance, you really need a tailored plan to return to full function. 🏋️‍♀️

Functional, Movement Therapy was created to give busy parents their life back 💙

Not only getting back to being able to care for their spouses and families 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

But also returning to doing the activities that they love most like hiking, exercise, and enjoying the outdoors 🏃

Comment below if you’ve had trouble getting back to full function

and sign up for a Total Body Diagnostic today with me, Dr. Nick.

Youll be taken through:

✅ A complete history of your injury
✅ A comprehensive exam
✅ Find your root cause
✅ Understand your Next Step for a full recovery

I’m so excited for my group training program that is kicking off May 1st!

I’ve been working with clients who suffer from back pain for a long time now and I’ve finally been able to package my entire process in a 13 week course.

One of the biggest challenges clients face is that they are left trying to interpret all the medical information while also piecing together different items and treatments they need to heal.

New mattresses, back braces, appointments, medications, gels, and supplements 💊

Never knowing what is going to work and more often than not being frustrated with the lack of results or short term relief 😮‍💨

I’ve gone ahead and put all the answers in 1 place 🤩

Here’s what you can expect when you join us:

🌟 A supportive community dedicated to overcoming back pain and sciatica.
📚 Expert education tailored to your needs.
👩‍⚕️ Specialist support every step of the way.
📅 A comprehensive plan of attack to bid farewell to back pain for good.

But here’s the catch – spots are limited, and time is running out!

I want everyone to have an amazing experience so I’m capping the cohort at 10 participants 🥳

Think about all the time, money, pain, and heart ache you’ll save NOT worrying about “managing” your back pain anymore but actually healing ❤️‍🩹

The best part is that you get to do this all from the comfort of your own home and on your schedule.

Oh wait, that’s not the best part…

It also comes with lifetime access to the course and a full money back guarantee if you aren’t satisfied with your results

Crazy, right?!?! 🤪

All I wanna do is help some people live a pain-free life.

Are you ready to get the results you’ve been after and regain confidence in your body?

Do you suffer from back pain? If so, save this video to take these simple tests.

Everyone talks about “core strength” for back pain,

But they forget to incorporate the glutes as an essential part of the core 🍑

These two tests challenge the glute max and glute medius muscles 💪

2 very important muscles for hip strength, balance, and pelvic stability

Without glute strength, guess what part of the body has to work extra hard?

Sciatica & disc herniation affect a lot of people unfortunately

This usually causes a tight and painful feeling across the lower back

and can even go into the glute and down the leg 🦵

The further down the leg the symptoms travel typically the worse the injury is.

Because of that “tight” feeling, most people think that stretching those “tight” areas is what the need for pain relief 😫

However, bending forward and stretching irritated nerves can cause even more pain ⚡️

No fun 😢

Here are a couple things you can do immediately to help with pain that are not stretching.

1️⃣ Discover whether you respond to extension or neutral movement patterns

2️⃣ Learn spinal hygiene to help yourself through the acute phase

Once your movement opens up and pin calms down we can return to flexing the spine.

This gives the disc time to heal so that the rest of your rehab can progress smoothly.

If you need help doing any of this I’ve got an awesome new group training program kicking off 5/1/24.

Discounted rates offered to the first 10 people to sign up so comment below with “FMT” or DM me directly for more details 👍

Happy healing, friends 🎉

I’ve had a few friends suffering with shoulder pain recently so bringing back this gem 💎

The rotator cuff is made up of 4 muscles 💪

That all attach to the shoulder blade.

These muscles control the way the upper arm bone moves within the socket.

Training these muscles to stay in control through various motions can help your strength and pain.

I’d you are struggling with shoulder pain,

Hip hinging is one of the hardest moves to master from a physical and psychological standpoint.

I like to use the cue of a dowel to maintain a neutral spine

While also cueing for TA and glute engagement.

Do you find hip hinging:
🔹Hard
🔹Scary 😱
🔹Essential

My buddy David is on a journey to play catch 366 days in a row using the activity to connect on a deeper level with people, young and old. David and I initially connected as he was trying to work out some of the kinks from using those muscles and joints so consistently where it was causing him pain.
I was immediately drawn to his energy and of course the goal.

About four months later, we finally got to have our game of catch and it was epic! As we started to throw and connect, the snow, looks like a snow globe out of a movie. Shortly into our game, the snow started to pick up and go sideways. As the saying goes, if you don’t like the weather, wait a minute.

It’s been a true honor getting to know David and helping him continue his journey of Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your journey!
