Cupping therapy lifts & separates the facial layers, but knowing how to properly apply gliding techniques & dynamic cupping (aka having the patient do movements with the cups on) isn’t something you can learn on YouTube.

Anyone can buy a set of cups on Amazon & you can literally train a monkey to apply cups, but to truly understand the underlying mechanism of the fascial slings, it takes a trained healthcare professional.

Your team’s health isn’t a perk. It’s a performance strategy.

Companies with strong workplace wellness programs see up to 25% higher productivity. It starts with something as simple as bringing movement and recovery education directly to the workplace.

That’s what these workshops are built for, to provide practical tools your team can implement immediately.

I’ve spent years prior to & after chiropractic school helping working professionals move and recover better. Bringing that same hands-on approach to companies & organizations who want to invest in their people made all the sense a decade ago, but is even more needed in 2026.

Did you know concussions can happen from a forceful hit to the body even if the head doesn’t get a hit? So if you’re suddenly dealing with any of the symptoms below, but can’t recall hitting your head after an accident/trauma, it’s still likely to have suffered a concussion 🤕

🚨Warning signs to watch for:
•Sudden headache or head pressure
•Dizziness or balance problems
•Nausea or vomiting
•Sensitivity to light &/or sound
•Confusion or brain fog
•Feeling sluggish

Because a concussion affects how the brain works & NOT the actual structure, an MRI nor a CT scan can detect a concussion.

It is imperative you seek medical attention with a trained professional. Chiropractors with a CCSP or DACBSP have proper training in dealing with concussions on & off the field.

In the U.S. alone, about 65 million people suffer with low back pain annually.

80% of adults have at least one low back pain episode in their life, but chronic low back pain is the biggest leading cause of people reporting disability from work.

Don’t be a statistic! It’s time to actually strengthen your low back instead of just calling it weak. It’s only weak because you never properly trained it, so save this exercise & give it a try or let me know if you need a modification!

& if you’re still wondering if chiropractors treat more than just the spine, then this video is for you…

Unless you walk into The Joint, where they’ll just adjust you, all chiropractors are trained to treat extremities just as well as the spine.

Your best bet is to always look for a Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician (CCSP), like myself, who’ve received additional post-doctorate training & education on properly treating athletic injuries.

Front squat form isn’t just about strength — it’s a mobility test. 🏋️‍♀️

Every rep asks a lot of your body: open shoulders and wrists to keep the bar racked, a mobile thoracic spine to stay upright, hip mobility to hit depth, and ankle dorsiflexion so your knees can track over your toes.

If one of these areas is tight, your form breaks down before your strength ever gets tested.

Swipe through for the 4 mobility keys to a cleaner front squat & save this for your next leg day!

Muscles are the armor around your joints & nerves.

Strong muscles = healthy nerves.

Strong muscles = strong joints.

Aging is inevitable, losing muscle shouldn’t be. The strongest predictor of independence at 80 is your muscle mass at 40, so stop making age an excuse to stop training. You only get weaker & more fragile when you stop training, not because you’re aging.

Some of the things I hear in my office deserve an immediate red card & possibly a one-appointment suspension 😬🤪

I could’ve written like 20 of these. Which red card phrase would you add to this list?

Please stop cracking your neck every day, especially multiple times a day to find relief. It’s clearly not helping if you need to do it so many times a day & not helping you in the long term.

I give you exercises for a reason. Please don’t waste your time nor mine if you truly don’t want to get better.

Sciatica shouldn’t last that long, so please don’t believe it’s a life long issue. I’ve heard people also say they’ve had a disc herniation for a decade which is insane & not true, unless you’ve re-aggravated it over & over again.

“Chiropractic didn’t work for me” said the person who went to 1 appointment & expected immediate relief after being in pain for yearsss. That’s not how the human body works, even with drugs or surgery your pain won’t magically go away. So don’t give up after 1 appointment!

Rest & ice is the worst advice you’ve been given. Please don’t listen to it if you truly want to get out of pain & move better!

I hear this often because my intake forms asks new patients how many ounces of water they drink. Like bruh, water is essential to survive, so even if you don’t like the taste, just suck it up 🤦🏻‍♀️
