Joseph Foright, MS, CSCS Helping stressed, perfectionistic, and overwhelmed bodies get unstuck.

I blend assisted stretching, corrective exercise, breathwork, and nervous-system science to ease chronic tension, improve mobility, and restore regulation.

Exhausted by information overload?

Everyone is telling you what to eat.
Everyone is telling you how to exercise.

The more you read and learn, the more confusing it becomes.

One expert says avoid carbs.
Another says carbs are essential.
One says lift heavy.
Another says slow, gentle movement is best.

After a while, it starts to feel like nothing is safe.
Like there must be one “right” way to take care of your body — and you just haven’t figured it out yet.

So, you stop trusting yourself and start outsourcing every decision.

But the problem isn’t that we don’t have enough information.

The problem is that we’ve lost the ability to hear what our own body is asking for.

The real skill isn’t finding the perfect plan.
It’s learning how to listen.

That’s what somatic and nervous-system informed work helps you do.

It reconnects you with your body so you can tell what you need in each moment — instead of trying to follow someone else’s rules.

Most people try to “relax” by thinking their way there.

Your body doesn’t listen to thoughts.
It listens to breath, posture, and sensation.

Try this and notice what changes. 💙

I am — and always have been — someone who loves chasing goals and building dreams.

And I still do.

What I’ve learned over the years is that no accomplishment, no milestone, no recognition has ever created lasting happiness for me.

That feeling doesn’t come from achieving.
It comes from how I relate to myself along the way.

Loving ourselves fully isn’t the result of accumulating wealth, feeling important, or collecting impressive things.

Our level of happiness follows us.

It shows up in how we meet the present moment.
In how gently we treat ourselves when things are messy, uncertain, or unfinished.

That’s the work.

Today I’m grateful for the quiet moments during a workshop…
when the room softens and you can feel the shift happening.
When bodies realize they don’t have to work so hard. 💙

I’m teaching Unlock Your Neck & Shoulders: Breaking Free from Bracing tomorrow at Appalachian Root Works - Rooted In Runes here in Cynthiana.

This workshop is for anyone who feels like:
• stretching never “sticks”
• neck and shoulders always feel tight
• your body is working harder than it should

A few spots are still open if this speaks to you.
👉 Details and sign-up are in the Events tab.

The reason your shoulders keep tightening back up after massage, stretching, or chiropractic care…

…is because the reason they are tight hasn’t changed.

Your body is holding tension to stabilize you.

And until it feels safe enough to let go of that tension, it won't.

That’s where somatic movement and nervous-system informed work makes a huge difference.

01/29/2026

Most of us think stress is either in the mind
or in the body.

But what I see every day is that the two are constantly talking to each other.

When the body feels safe, the mind softens.
When the mind feels safe, the body lets go.

This is the “magic” we’ll be working with in this workshop — learning how to signal safety to both at the same time so real change can happen.

If this resonates with you, you can sign up using the link in this event. I’d love to have you there. 💙

A gentle reminder today:

You might not realize how hard your body is working just to get through the day.

Holding posture.
Holding tension.
Holding it all together.

If you feel tired for no clear reason… this may be why.

Sometimes what you need isn’t more effort —
but a moment where your body doesn’t have to work so hard. 💙

01/27/2026

I don’t do “stretching sessions.”

I help people understand why their body is holding tension in the first place.

Neck and shoulders that never relax.
A core that always feels tight.
Hips that feel stuck no matter how much you stretch.

This isn’t a flexibility problem.

It’s a nervous system pattern.

And once people feel that difference in their body, everything changes. 💙

01/21/2026

One of the most supportive habits many of us can return to, again and again, is simply pausing… taking a few slower breaths… and feeling into the body.

It sounds simple, and it is — but the effects can be surprisingly profound.

So much of our time gets pulled into the mind: replaying what’s already happened, worrying about what’s ahead, or trying to mentally solve things that can’t actually be resolved right now. When that happens, it’s easy to feel stuck or scattered.

Bringing awareness back into the body gives us another option. It gently pulls us out of the mental loop and into what’s actually happening here, now. From that place, things often feel a little clearer, a little steadier.

Moment by moment, we can meet what’s in front of us — trusting that when the next step arrives, we’ll have what we need to respond. 💙

01/20/2026

Many people think constant tension is a flexibility issue.

In my upcoming somatic workshop, we explore how tension is often the body compensating for stress, imbalance, or feeling unsafe.

This is the lens I bring into my work — helping people understand why their body is holding on, and how to work with it instead of forcing it.

The workshop is designed to be grounded and supportive, with space kept small and personal.

Your body isn’t stubborn. It’s guarded.

If your body feels tight, braced, or like it won’t fully let go — even when you stretch, rest, or try to relax — there’s usually a reason.

For many people, tension isn’t a flexibility problem.
It’s the nervous system staying protective.

I offer 1:1 stretch therapy sessions that focus on helping the body feel safe enough to soften — without forcing, pushing, or “working through” pain.

Sessions are slow, supportive, and guided by what your body is ready for that day.

As the year begins, my clients are choosing a different approach — not forcing their body, but giving it the conditions it needs to release.

If you’re curious, I offer a $20 introductory session (a brief consult + 30 minutes of guided stretch) as a gentle way to explore whether this work feels supportive for you.
