Case study:
My client presented with pain in her left butt that was worse in standing.

Watching her move showed limited bending to touch her toes, leaning backwards and standing on her left leg.

Using the NKT protocol we found the right lateral hamstring was overworked and the lumbar erectors were underworked.

After a few minutes of massage to the hamstrings the erectors started to do their job.
After,mobility in all 3 motions was improved.

And a reduction in left butt pain by 50%.

Without any intervention to the left butt. 🤯

She’ll have to do some work to stretch the hamstring and strengthen the erectors to fully resolve but this was a great start.

The photo is an AI generation of the spiral line which demos the connection between the hamstrings and opposite spinal erectors.

Takeaway: the site of your main pain may not be the location of the problem.

If you want to fix your hip and back pain, but you always find something else you need to be doing when it comes to your home exercises, you're doing yourself a disservice.

You have to do the work at home to supplement what you are doing in the clinic if you want to feel better.

But I get it...it's hard to fit it in with all of life keeps lifing.

That's how I know you need exercises you can do at your desk, while grocery shopping, or when you're bringing the laundry upstairs.

Exercises like these you can do anywhere and anytime.

So your body feels better than your excuses for the long run. (Save this reel so you can do them when you need them 😀)

I am so excited that I was able to complete this continuing education course. I love working with female athletes who want to continue to get stronger and know they need some guidance to take ownership of that process.
If you want to learn more how the information I learned in this course can help you feel better and keep moving forward, send me a DM.
Hint...no matter where you are in your journey, you have everything it takes, you just have to take the first step to move and feel better :)

🛑 Feeling stiff again... and wondering if stretching is really helping?

Before you force another hamstring stretch, take a moment to P.A.U.S.E.
Your body might be protecting you—not limiting you.

✨ A mindset shift can be the missing piece to lasting relief:

🧠 Pay attention
💬 Ask your body why
🌬 Use your breath
🐢 Slow it down
🔍 Explore, don’t expect

This gentle reminder can help you move with less pain and more confidence.

I shared this with the people on my email list today on my weekly “My Favorite Things” email.

It’s too good to not share with everyone

Yes I share a lot of cheerleading tips. But for my average readers, I connect cheer to the real world.

Til then.. listen to this amazing podcast/youtube by Mayim…

Yes.. my favorite TV show (Big Bang Theory) after Friends, has led to me subscribing to an awesome podcast ❤️

There’s so much awesome in her discussion on oxytocin, serotonin, movement, love, breast feeding… and more! She answers normal everyday questions, from a scientific perspective, in a way that us who need it broken down easier can understand. 😍

You may think as a physical therapist who continues to talk about cheerleading, that I am anti competing and pushing thru pain.

To an extent, you're right.

No one should have to work thru pain...
But they might just need to work on improving movement so they can continue to perform and progress and actually stay IN the sport vs take a significant amount of time off.

This scene from the first Rocky grosses me out (I became a PT vs an MD/ATC or RN because I am not good with acute injuries.... ps...don't watch if you don't like blood!)

While I don't think you should continue to get punched in the head when you are actually struggling with a possible concussion and broken ribs, like in this video from Rocky....

I do admire the commitment to finishing the competition, despite the odds.

Just because you're injured, doesn't mean you have to quit. It also doesn't mean you should give up.

Cheers to the Rocky series for continuing to teach us thru the years :)

Cut me, Mick!

I probably shared this before, but it bears repeating.

Happy New Year

When I got to Whale Rock Music Festival the first person I met was a 9-year-old girl who walked right up to me by herself and said, “Are you, Michael Franti?...
