How Did Manual Therapy Straighten a Crooked Spine? 🤔

When I brought my daughters in for manual therapy, we finally uncovered the cause of their scoliosis:

🌟 For my first daughter: Her hips were misaligned due to one leg being shorter—a simple issue overlooked while doctors focused only on her spine.
🌟 For my second daughter: Tightness in her abdomen, stemming from infancy when she had reflux and skipped crawling, had been pulling her spine to one side for years.

Once these issues were addressed—balancing her hips and releasing the tightness—their spines began to naturally straighten.

"This is why I love manual therapy: it looks at the whole body, treating everything as connected."

If you or a loved one is struggling with scoliosis, think beyond the spine. Let’s get to work!

Pain is like a smoke alarm: loud, hard to ignore, and demanding attention. But here’s the truth—pain isn’t the problem; it’s a signal. The real issue, like a fire, is hidden somewhere else in your body, quietly causing dysfunction without drawing attention to itself.

Most professionals focus on the "smoke alarm," treating the pain where it’s felt. But like a good firefighter, manual therapy works differently:
It traces the “smoke” (body compensations) back to the hidden “fire” (root dysfunction).
By addressing the fire, the smoke clears, and the alarms naturally turn off.
True relief doesn’t come from silencing symptoms—it comes from fixing the cause. Ready to stop chasing the smoke and put out the fire? Let's get to work!

📹 Video 4 of 4: The Impossible Made Possible

Before Jensen’s latest X-ray, I asked the doctor, “What if blood flow has been restored? What would that look like?” The response was cautious: “If that were the case, you’d see new bone growth.”

Then, we got the X-ray results—and there it was. The bone hadn’t just stopped collapsing; it was regrowing, perfectly shaped, with both legs now the exact same length. The doctor was stunned. “Jensen is going to be in a medical journal,” she said. “This has never happened before. It’s impossible.” But we knew it wasn’t just a fluke. We had seen the power of manual therapy firsthand.

This journey was a miracle they never expected. From a life of pain and an inevitable hip replacement to walking, playing sports, and living fully—Jensen now has a future filled with hope.

If you have no hope, if your doctors give you no options other than surgery, if you’ve tried everything else and nothing has worked—come and see what RIOT Manual Therapy can do for you. Healing is possible, and Jensen’s story is proof.

Beating Scoliosis Without Braces or Surgery
Three years ago, my daughters, 11 and 14, were diagnosed with scoliosis. My oldest had a 34-degree curve, and my youngest had a 21-degree curve. Doctors recommended rigid, uncomfortable braces worn 16 hours a day, even while sleeping. Watching my girls endure this, especially as teens, was heartbreaking. Worse, surgery with metal rods was the next step.

Having experienced the benefits of manual therapy for my own back issues, I wondered: could it help them too?

We tried an experiment: no bracing for one month—only manual therapy. At their next checkup, the results stunned us:
✅ My oldest’s curve went from 34 degrees to 13 degrees.
✅ My youngest’s curve dropped from 21 degrees to 8 degrees.

The doctor said their spines no longer even qualified as scoliosis! Manual therapy worked with their bodies—no forcing, no pain, no surgery.

If you or a loved one is struggling with scoliosis, there’s another way. Let’s get to work!

After months of manual therapy, Jensen’s progress became undeniable. He started easing back into sports, playing basketball and even picking up tennis. At a follow-up appointment, as usual, they took X-rays and watched him walk up and down the hall. But this time, the doctor was speechless.

Looking at the X-rays, she couldn’t believe what she saw: “These don’t match. With what I see on the X-ray, you shouldn’t be walking like this.” When she learned he was playing sports again, her shock deepened. “You shouldn’t just be unable to walk like this—you should be in a wheelchair.” None of her other patients with similar X-rays were even able to attend school due to the pain. Yet there was Jensen, not only walking but thriving.

This journey was turning into something remarkable. Stay tuned for the final post—there’s a reveal you won’t want to miss.


's inspiring journey back to sports surprises even the professionals. Despite alarming x-ray results, he defies the odds by walking and playing basketball and tennis, challenging traditional expectations of recovery. Discover how he achieved this amazing comeback!

📹 Video 2 of 4: The Unexpected Shift

On the very first visit, Jensen walked in with crutches, struggling with every step. But by the end of that appointment, something incredible happened—he walked out without them. His dad asked him, “How do you feel?” and his answer was unforgettable: “I feel amazing. I didn’t know I could feel this good.”

Every visit, he left stronger, better off than when he arrived. This wasn’t just a small improvement; it was a transformation beyond anything we expected.

Stay with us for more of Jensen’s journey, and don’t miss the final reveal. It’s something you’ll have to see to believe.

For 20 years, I dealt with a bulged disc that would pop out, causing unbearable pain. Then, it herniated, and I hit rock bottom—crawling around my house, unable to sit, sleep, or even find relief in any position. I thought surgery was my only option.

That’s when I discovered manual therapy, and everything changed.

🚗 Session 1: I arrived in agony, but by the end, I walked to the car on my own.

🌟 In just 2 months: I went from incapacitated to walking pain-free through New York City, celebrating my dad’s birthday.

Now, I’m living a life without fear of my back giving out. Manual therapy didn’t just relieve my pain—it gave me my life back.

If you’re facing surgery or feel like there’s no hope, let manual therapy show you a new way forward. Let’s get to work!

Doctors across the country all said the same thing: impossible. Blood flow never returns to the bone – once it’s gone, it’s gone. Jensen was diagnosed with Avascular Necrosis (AVN), a condition where blood flow to the bone stops, causing it to deteriorate. Every MRI and X-ray showed the same: Jensen’s bone was deteriorating, caving in, and the pain only got worse.

He was an active kid, always on the field, playing basketball, baseball, football, and soccer year-round. But now, his future was a painful waiting game, told he would need a hip replacement by age 18.

This is just the beginning of Jensen’s journey. Over the next four videos, we’ll share his struggle, hope, and resilience as he defied the odds. A big reveal awaits! Don’t miss it.

Your muscles don’t work the way you think they do. Let’s break it down:

1️⃣ No such thing as a “tight” muscleMuscles don’t randomly tighten. They’re responding to specific signals from your nervous system. The moment those signals stop, the muscle lets go.

2️⃣ No such thing as a “weak” muscleWhat we call “weakness” is often inhibition. Opposing muscles are in a constant tug-of-war, and if one can’t relax, the other can’t activate fully. Example: weak glutes often stem from tight hip flexors.

3️⃣ No such thing as “muscle memory”Muscles don’t store information—they follow orders. Every action, even repetitive ones, requires fresh signals from your nervous system to tell muscles what to do.

🎯 Want to know how to address these root issues and truly unlock your muscle potential? Let’s get to work!
