There are 168 hours in a week. I get you for one of them.

Maybe once or twice a week, thirty minutes to an hour. Whatever you're doing the rest of the time is actually going to decide how quickly this heals, or how long it takes.

How you sit. How you sleep. What you carry, and on which side. What you eat, and whether you eat at all. How much you're worrying.

The session can start the change. The other 167 hours decide whether it holds.

Where do most of your 167 go? Work, kids, driving or the couch?

Sore the day after your session, like you went to the gym? That can be normal.

This is what I tell people on their way out. Some people just feel great. Other people feel a little weird, because a muscle that hasn't been working is working again. If your glute feels sore, like you worked out, that's normal.

Sharp shots of pain are different. Message whoever treated you.

And eat that day. Good protein, because your body is going to try to fix that. Meat, chicken, pork, eggs. Drink water. Meat and potatoes, maybe some orange or pineapple. Without the building blocks, it's very hard for the brain to make that connection.

How did you feel the day after your last session? Great, weird or worse?

Calf cramp at 2am. You jump out of bed. You stand on the cold floor until it lets go.

And somebody tells you to take magnesium.

Night cramp gets blamed on one mineral, and it is rarely that simple.

What is worth looking at: how much you drink across the whole day. Medication, particularly water pills. Hours standing. A tight calf with a stiff ankle. How much you moved that day.

Magnesium and nothing else is a guess with good marketing behind it.

If it is one-sided, with swelling or color change, that is a doctor today, not a stretch.

How many nights a week does it get you?

Your body wastes cartilage on purpose.
If it went after your heart first, you'd be gone quickly. It will always try to protect the heart.
So when the fuel runs short, joints pay first.

Ten years. No matter what you've done, it hasn't gone away.

If that's you, this isn't just about getting another massage.

If you just got hit by a softball, or you fell, that's a different story. That's an injury, and it heals like one. But pain that crept in over time with no accident behind it, or pain that's been there for ten years no matter what you've tried, means there's a bigger problem going on. The hands-on work is one piece of the puzzle.

The back is just the check engine light. It's telling you whatever you're doing isn't working, and it's trying to get you to change course.

So the questions change. Is it constant? Does it keep you up at night? Can you ease it by how you move, sit or lie? What's going on in your life?

Pain that's constant and wakes you every night deserves a doctor's look first.

How many years for you? Give me the number.

A headache by mid-afternoon. A tight neck. Light-headed. Tired for no reason you can name.

Watch your breathing the next time you concentrate.

I do this often. When we're concentrating, we hold our breath, then we start breathing short and shallow, up in the chest. That kind of breath is pulled by the scalenes, the pecs and the neck muscles. They shorten, and they pull your neck forward.

Do that all through a workday and it causes a host of problems. Fatigue. Light-headedness. Headaches. Tightening of the neck.

I told a woman exactly this at the end of her session. Her correctives were one half of her homework. The other half was her breath: getting it back down into her diaphragm and belly instead of up into her chest.

A sudden severe headache, or fainting, is a doctor today.

Try it right now. One hand on your chest, one on your belly. Which one moves first?

I saw 8 specialists in my early 30s.
When none of them can find it, you get really depressed.
"You're fine." While you're still living in disabling pain.

Hip thrusts. Leg raises. The recumbent bike. Circled on a printout. Twenty sessions later, your back still hurts.

Some routines are just scripted. Everybody gets the same printout with a little circle, whether it's a knee, a shoulder or a back.

I've seen people with a disc herniation handed pelvic tilts that flatten and round the low back. For a lot of disc herniations, rounding forward into flexion makes it worse. And riding the recumbent bike does not heal a back. It shouldn't even be part of the plan.

One of the people I work with has a doctorate in physical therapy, and she'll tell you the same thing: some of what gets taught isn't what heals a back.

Every piece of your homework should be aimed at exactly what your body needs. If it would look the same on the person before you and the person after you, ask why.

Numbness spreading down a leg, a foot getting weaker, or bladder changes need a doctor today.

Is your home program on a printed sheet? Yes or no.

I used to think any wrong move was gonna paralyze me.

Then I learned the body is doing everything possible to protect the spinal cord. It's very hard to become paralyzed from normal movement. A horrible car accident, a biking accident, a failed surgery, that's a different story.

But when people hear "degenerative disc disease," that's exactly what they picture. So they stop moving. They stop doing the things they love. I had a client who really aged himself after he heard it. He just stopped everything.

If a scary word has been sitting on your chest, you're allowed to set it down today.

Losing control of your bladder or bowels, or numbness in the groin, is the ER today.

What's the word you were given that scared you most?

Low back aches when you stand. Belly pushes forward. Your butt sticks out behind you like Donald Duck.

That's what I call it. Turn sideways to a mirror and you'll know in a second.

It's lordosis. An excessive curve in the low back, with the pelvis tipped forward. A lot of people with back pain that keeps coming back have something like it, because the problem is their whole posture, not the one spot that hurts.

When someone's standing like that, I'm usually looking at short, tight quads, a psoas that's having an issue, a long stretched-out abdominal wall, and very tight calves. Muscles that are tight, weak, or just not communicating with the brain.

When someone is in pain, they focus on that one spot. Some professionals only focus on that one spot too. But nothing in the body works separate of itself.

Stand sideways to a mirror. Do you see the duck? Yes, no, or a little.
