Clinicians, here’s your reminder that the cerebellum isn’t just about balance. It’s about refinement.

All I did was stand on my left leg, turn my head about 45 degrees, and toss a tennis ball while tracking it with my eyes. That tiny drill instantly changed my forward bend and rotation.

No stretching. No soft tissue work.
Just better communication between my eyes, head, and body.

Stretching will get you there, but it’s going to take a lot longer. I’m a busy mom and a business owner. I don’t have time for that.

Sometimes the fastest way to better movement isn’t through the muscle. It’s through the nervous system.

Worry keeps your nervous system in protect mode... heart rate up, breath shallow, muscles tight.

That state tells your body, “we’re not safe yet,” and healing hits pause.

So when pain makes you spiral, remember: worrying doesn’t make tomorrow better, it makes today harder.

Calm isn’t weakness. It’s physiology. The more your system feels safe, the faster it can repair.

Clinicians: Ever notice how one side of the pelvis rotates like butter, and the other feels like pushing a boulder uphill? 🧩 That’s what I’m showing here. The foam roller doesn’t lie, it’s a built-in truth detector for asymmetries.

What do you see? 👀

A follow-up to the reel I posted yesterday regarding what I treat first when dealing with patients who have chronic pain.

Patients with chronic pain are known to have a low level of chronic inflammation. The inflammatory process creates more metabolic waste. It is imperative that the body's waste management systems are working optimally For patients with chronic pain to succeed.

Here are some systems that I look at:

💩The GI is clearly the biggest waste management system. Bowel movements should happen daily and they should be the consistency of a mushy banana. Rabbit pellets are not ideal and are indicative of constipation and slow gut motility. Collected waste contains hormones, chemicals, and toxins that don't serve the body anymore, however, if they're just hanging out in the colon, the body might reabsorb them. Which can in turn lead to a low-lying chronic inflammatory state. It's like a beta fish living in A dirty tank. Surviving, but not thriving

💨 Metabolic waste is also excreted in the water droplets when we exhale. Good breathing mechanics can help with this exchange as well as provide optimal pressure exchange and movement of the other expiratory organ

🩸 The lymphatic system is responsible for cellular metabolic waste. Its job is to move it, cleanse it, and put it back into the system. If it's congested, Cells are just being bathed in their own waste. Which can lead to an underlying inflammatory process because they're irritated.

🎽 Organs need to move To perform optimally. At the heart, they need physical movement of the body to do so. Especially the liver and the kidneys. One of the number one things that can help the organs move is breathing-the literal movement of the diaphragm, as well as thoracic mobility.

😐 Stress, when your body is in an upregulated fight or flight state, can affect all of these systems.
