Youth. That's something you can have.
"Jonathan... not only is my pain gone... but I feel like I can BREATHE!"
Sam power-cleaned 275lbs...
..after his surgeon said not to bother with rehab because no one could help him.
The dude had 5 bulging lumbar discs.....and 2 cervical.
275lb power clean after 16 weeks of rehab.
..with no back pain....
Gina beat vertigo, seizures, chronic neck, shoulder, & back pain, numbness and tingling, and organ issues...
..in 21 weeks of isolating and reintegrating her inner core....
at age 50....
She literally couldn't lift her hand above her shoulder without sharp pain when we started.
She just recently went skiing for the first time in a few decades...
..with no problems.
Ryan was having pain free days in 3 weeks...
after struggling with pain post-lumbar discectomy.... for 15 years.
He helped 2 friends move the other day after 3 months of rehab programming...
..with no pain.
I fix the system that holds your joints in place...
it's taken me a lot of years to understand how to rehab the integration of this system with breathing and organ health...
..and even more years to bring it to the marketplace in an online format.
Breathing.
My hamstrings are tight.
My shoulder hurts.
My QL is tight.
My knee hurts.
I can't feel my muscles activating.
The doctor said I have a disc bulge.
I have numbness and tingling.
I can't do anything.
I can't even lift a plate without pain.
I can't even LAY DOWN.
The chiropractor/massage therapist made it WORSE.
Yea, your body is failing.
You can't even stand for extended periods of time.
Or walk.
Every day you're in pain.
I took my body back... from absolute defeat....
I broke my leg.
I wasn't allowed to walk for 3 months.
The surgeon didn't prescribe PT.
I was overweight, and wanted to get in shape.
I hit the gym every day.
Started running.
Looking for stretches and exercises online....
I noticed something was off with my body.
I saw a PT.
I did dry needling.
I worked with a MT 1x weekly for 6 months.
I worked with a chiropractor 4x weekly for a year.
I stretched every night.
I did all the fancy spinal decompression techniques.
No matter what I did....
my body wouldn't act right.
I couldn't feel any muscles stretching, even though I was holding the positions.
I couldn't feel any muscles contracting, even though I was doing the exercises.
Eventually I got bulging neck and low back discs.
Being in pain is and understatement when it comes to burning spinal pain.
I was in college at the time....
Working full time as a student...
Seeing a chiropractor 4x weekly...
A massage therapist 1x weekly...
A PT twice weekly....
I wasn't getting better.
It was crap.
6 months.
I did everything.
I stretched every night.
I never missed a workout.
My body remained broken.
Nothing was working.
Eventually, and thankfully...
I discovered I'd have to learn this for myself if I wanted to get my body back.
These people...
A) Didn't do an inner core function assessment.
B ) Check spinal curvature objectively.
C) Didn't give me a progressed program that isolated and reintegrated my deficits
I grinded away daily for 6 months.
I wasn't upset.
I was too committed to be upset.
Too positive to say I couldn't get better...
..or maybe I was just too hardheaded.
Depends who you ask 😉
Anyways, I refused to give up.
I figured out the problem.....after years of study.
And I dialed in the solution......after years of clinical experience.
I'd always been a top-tier athlete....
After I broke my leg and didn't walk for 3 months...
That was gone.
Long gone.
I was crushed.
My identity was gone.
The thing I derived my esteem and status from...
..was taken.
So I had to figure it out.
Either that or give up.
Momma didn't raise no quitter 😉
I want peak physical function.
I want to be able to dunk a basketball.
Backflip.
Be a JAM-UP weekend warrior with the guys.
My entire childhood I was the best at every sport I played.
It's who I was.
It's who I am.
I refuse to give that up.
Today I worked out twice.
21-15-9 Deadlifts to handstand pushups in the AM.
No rest.
It was cake.....so I hit it again in the PM.
Lunges, cable push pulls, hip work, core work....
The whole 9.
Then I ate lambchops.
Now, I'm writing this.
PTs who don't treat the inner core before strengthening peripheral joint structures...
Chiropractors who pop the spine but don't condition the system that maintains proper position of the spine....
Surgeons who stick a rod in your bone to hold it in place instead of properly treating the joint by rehabilitating the system that holds it in place...
Massage therapists who rub muscles that are tight...
..instead of treating WHY they're tight....
It's wrong.
What they're doing should be illegal.
I fix the system that HOLDS the joints in place.
That ORIENTS the joints.
I recondition the BRAIN and so it coordinates movement...
.. movement that keeps your joints in an optimal axis of rotation....
..to dissipate excessive compression, torsion, shear....
..and prevent inflammation and pain.
Assessment. Stretching. Exercise. Progressed format.
Restore your body-mind.
My personal goal is blue-chip biomechanical function.
A body that dissipates forces that are traveling through your body...
..safely into the ground...
..to allow for top-tier movement capacity for the long-term.
If that something you want...
..aligned joints that stay there so you don't develop pain...
then you're my people.
Provided you're willing to put in the work.
We fix WHY the joints hurt.
WHY the muscles are tight.
The problem is the system that pumps your organs...
..your diaphragm...
..your breathing...
..isn't happening properly...
..and as a result your ribs are out of place...
..along with all the rest of your joints....
..the one that hurts is just taking the brunt of the compression, torsion, and shear due to your habits....
You must isolate this system...
..the pelvic floor, TVA, Multifidus, and Diaphragm...
and reintegrate it in a systematic fashion your movement patterns.
Disc issue?
Joint pain?
Can't breathe?
Organ issue?
Cardiovascular problems?
Nervous system issue?
Want to drop 30 strokes on your golf game?
Willing to do the work?
Willing to not make any excuses?
Willing to make a commitment to your future self?
Then you could be a good fit to go through my progression
Assess inner core function.
Assess spinal curvature.
Implement the right plan.
Execute the plan properly.
and lastly...
Enjoy your new body.
Anyone you're seeing that doesn't follow this format...
Cannot help you in the long term.
It's all on you.
It's your responsibility to restore your body.
No-one else's.
YOU CAN do it.
My process has helped people who had one foot in the grave.
Get the right plan.
It works for everyone else...
Commit to the process.
It takes time.
It takes consistency.
But on the other side is a future you that can do anything.
Share and comment if you feel the desire to do so.
You can restore your youth and vitality.
My process will bring you there.
