Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year to all of my readers! I'm not sure if I actually have any dedicated readers yet but happy holidays to any happenstance readers as well! This post is a highlight of my top 5 viewed posts of 2013. I know it isn't technically 2014 yet so maybe I will be proved wrong.

Time to make an assessment of myself
Today's post is second part of my self-SFMA(Selective Functional Movement Assessment) case study series. Specifically, We will look at the dysfunctional cervical spine movement patterns from my SFMA Top Tier Post.

Howdy again Readers! Today will be the first part of a series of posts that I am lamely labeling "My SFMA." Each post will feature a video related to my own personal Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA). Today's video will showcase my own seven top tier SFMA tests. Each additional blogpost and video will showcase a single dysfunctional top tier test derived
Howdy Readers! It has been a busy couple of months and I just finished my second to last semester of graduate school. (Yay!) I am hoping that I can start to get into the habit of rolling out more blog posts but I am not sure how the next semester will go considering that I will begin data collection for my thesis study.

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
My old running shoes
Today's post is kind of half personal story/half conjecture/half observation(wait, that doesn't add up!).
