Supposedly this is a painting of the first chiropractic "adjustment"

Please Leave Your Poor Hamstrings Alone!
Posted on Tuesday, June 10, 2014 by AKthe_AT

"Tight Hamstrings, The Epidemic That Never Existed."
-Dr. Erson Religioso, DPT
Trying to touch my toes at my first SFMA seminar.
This little nugget of knowledge developed during a conversation that my good friend Dr. E of The Manual Therapist and I were having together after his recent post. It is crazy how many times you will hear people mention how tight

Thoracic Extension Doesn't = Thoracic Extension
Posted on Wednesday, May 14, 2014 by AKthe_AT
Howdy Folks! Today I wanted to take a quick moment to comment on some discrepancies that I have noticed when hearing people discuss thoracic mobility and the need for thoracic extension. Anyone that is familiar with the Functional Movement System is probably well aware of the lack of thoracic mobility that many people seem to suffer from. This is something that you often

Rocktape: Fascial Movement Taping Levels 1 & 2 Course Review
Posted on Monday, February 03, 2014 by AKthe_AT
Swollen Knee? Try this on for size.
Howdy Folks, this past weekend I had the opportunity to attend both levels of Rocktape's Fascial Movement Taping(FMT) Seminars.

Posted on Tuesday, November 05, 2013 by AKthe_AT

It has now been exactly a month since I took the Selective Functional Movement Assessment certification course in St. Louis, MO. You can read my initial course review here. I have been trying to incorporate the SFMA into my clinical practice as much and as often as possible since then. I wanted to take the time to highlight some thoughts and self-reflections from this
