Your patient’s chronic back pain might not be about tight hip flexors or a weak core.

It might be about gas. 💨

When the intestines are bloated and stretched, the gut’s inner lining (the lumen) hurts. To relieve that pressure, the body shuts down the abs and lets the back muscles do all the work.

This isn’t bad posture🥴 it’s a reflexive pressure strategy.

And if you’re not factoring in gut health, you’re missing a major driver of pain and dysfunction.

Your toolbox needs more than clamshells and bridges.

You need a lens that sees the whole system.

These are the top 3 things I actually worked on patients last week in clinic.

Not hypotheticals. Not theory.
Real strategies that moved the needle:

🫁 Breath & pressure affect hip pain
🧠 Tension isn’t always tightness it's more likely protection
💧 Lymph can block recovery even without visible swelling

If you're only treating the muscles and joints, you might be missing the systems behind the symptoms.

🧠 Save this if you're ready to level up

Shoulder pain isn’t always a rotator cuff issue.
Sometimes it’s your organs calling for help.
Sometimes it’s a nerve stuck in traffic.
Sometimes it’s both.

In just one session, this patient went from 50% shoulder range with pain ➡️ to full range, pain-free.

How?
✅ Liver mobility
✅ Targeted breathing
✅ Neural desensitization

This is what happens when you treat the whole system—not just the sore spot.

🧠 Want to learn how to think like this?
My upcoming course teaches you how to integrate the nervous system, breath, and visceral mobility into your orthopedic care.

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.
