✅ Watch the NEW FREE TRAINING on Low Back Pain & Sciatica:https://visit.shapeshiftwellness.com/beyondpaintraining.If I woke up tomorrow with back pain or sciatica, and my goal was to calm the pain, stop the flare-up, and get back to normal life and exercise as fast as possible, this is exactly what I would do.In this video, I walk you step-by-step through a research-based, non-scary plan for acute back pain and sciatica flare-ups—the same framework I personally use and teach to people dealing with both new injuries and long-term chronic pain.This is not about fixing posture, correcting alignment, or chasing MRI findings. It's about calming your nervous system, reducing fear, restoring safe movement, and rebuilding confidence in your body.In this video, you'll learn: • What to do immediately when back pain or sciatica flares up • Why fight-or-flight makes pain worse (and how to shut it down fast) • Why hurt does NOT equal harm, even with disc bulges or degeneration • The best short-term pain relief options (and why none of them “fix” you) • How to figure out why the flare-up happened in the first place • Why MRI findings like disc herniations are often normal and not dangerous • How visualization and mindset affect pain recovery (without woo-woo nonsense) • When and how to safely start exercising again • Why graded exposure to real-life movement beats “perfect rehab exercises” • How to stay mentally healthy while recovering from back pain or sciaticaThis approach applies whether: • Your pain just started yesterday • You've been dealing with chronic low back pain for years • You have sciatica, disc herniations, degeneration, or stenosis • You're afraid to move because you don't want to “make it worse”I've personally lived with chronic pain for over a decade, and I've worked with people who've recovered after 10, 20, even 30+ years of back pain and sciatica. There is always a path forward...✅ Watch the NEW FREE TRAINING on Low Back Pain & Sciatica:https://visit.shapeshiftwellness.com/beyondpaintraining.#lowbackpain #lowbackpainrelief#lowbackpainexercises #discherniation #sciaticarelief#sciatica #sciaticatreatment

Working with a client with osteoporosis and managing their expectations can be challenging as a Pilates instructor or personal trainer. Client's are often not given much guidance by their medical professional and are left on their own to figure out if their current workout routine is helpful or potentially dangerous. Our job is to keep them safe while doing our best to slow, halt or reverse their condition. In this episode we discuss strategies for minimizing risky moves like loaded flexion while working to improve posture, strength and bone density. We hope this conversation provides a starting point for better program design for your clients with osteoporosis.Moving Conversation Socials  Brian's Book on Low Back Pain and Conditions: Back Exercise; Stabilize, Mobilize and Reduce Pain https://a.co/d/8IUb7L6  Email: movingconvos@gmail.com IG: @movingconvos FB: Moving Conversations  Brian IG: @fit4lifedc FB: https://www.facebook.com/brianrichey/   Nora IG: nora.s.john.7 FB: https://www.facebook.com/nora.s.john.7 

Aiyana is an office worker with chronic low back pain who is referred to physical therapy. During a core stability assessment, the patient demonstrates difficulty maintaining a neutral pelvis while lifting one leg in a hook-lying position.

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!A burning leg at night, a “herniated disc” on the MRI, and years of mixed messages—sound familiar? We unpack a real client story and show how to trade fear for a plan using assessment-first coaching, language that calms the system, and progressions that actually work.We start by debunking outdated ortho beliefs that frame backs as fragile and people as broken. Then we map a simple screening process to pinpoint intolerances—flexion, extension, rotation, lateral flexion, or compression—and use those findings to build a zero-discomfort movement menu. You'll hear why stretching into nerve symptoms often flares sciatica-like pain, when sciatic nerve glides help, and how to reframe “pain” as “discomfort” to reduce threat and increase buy-in.From there we get practical. Learn how to coach precise planks, side planks, and bridges; when to choose TRX rows over bent-over rows; how to modify pressing with landmine variations; and why bilateral pulling beats asymmetrical loading early on. We cover bracing and drawing-in cues, pacing volume to track responses, decompression options for compression-sensitive clients, and small lifestyle levers like sleep setup, hydration, and nutrition quality. We also explain imaging context, disc reabsorption, and the power of daily low back routines that rebuild trust. Finally, we share networking tactics to team up with pro-movement physios and chiros so your client always has a path forward.If you coach people with back issues—or you're working through them yourself—you'll leave with a step-by-step framework: listen, screen, find zero-discomfort ranges, progress deliberately, and keep the wins going for life. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs hope, and leave a review with your top takeaway so we can cover it next.Want to become a SUCCESSFUL personal trainer?

Today we are lookinga back and repeating a hot topic we discussed back in May. We are wading into a very controversial topic, osteoporosis, where guidelines for exercise tend to be vague at best. Today we touch on what it is, some general guidelines and ways to keep clients active when flexion and rotation are contraindicated. Join the conversation to see if we can make progress at developing a better answer for clients who are recently diagnosed and trying to figure out how to stay active. This is part 1, in next week's session, we discuss programming and client management strategies.Moving Conversation Socials  Brian's Book on Low Back Pain and Conditions: Back Exercise; Stabilize, Mobilize and Reduce Pain https://a.co/d/8IUb7L6  Email: movingconvos@gmail.com IG: @movingconvos FB: Moving Conversations  Brian IG: @fit4lifedc FB: https://www.facebook.com/brianrichey/   Nora IG: nora.s.john.7 FB: https://www.facebook.com/nora.s.john.7

Low back pain is projected to affect over 800 million people worldwide by 2050. Among women over 55, cases nearly doubled from 89.9 million in 1990 to 176.8 million in 2021 Aging populations are the main driver of this increase, but postmenopausal women face a greater risk due to bone loss, muscle decline, fat redistribution, and immune and inflammatory changes Hormonal shifts during and after menopause alter bone density, disc health, and tissue repair, making the spine more vulnerable to stress and chronic pain Persistent low back pain is linked to multiple chronic conditions, including cardiovascular disease, metabolic disorders, mental health issues, and long-term functional decline Regular movement, stronger core and pelvic floor muscles, improved posture, quality sleep, and stress management are among the most effective ways to lower pain risk and protect your spine

Carolyn McMakin, MA, DC - https://frequencyspecific.com     Kim Pittis, LCSP, (PHYS), MT - htpps://fsmsports365.com 00:00 Welcome to the Frequency Specific Microcurrent Podcast 00:47 Thanksgiving Episode Introduction 01:40 Non-Traditional Thanksgiving Plans 03:24 Gratitude and Small Joys 09:44 Remembering Roger and His Contributions 15:30 FSM and Patient Care Insights 27:14 Gratitude for FSM Practitioners 27:50 Case Study: Disc Herniations and Treatment 28:43 Understanding Disc and Facet Pain 33:27 SI Joint and Low Back Pain Protocols 39:52 Success Story: Treating Post-TBE Neuralgia 45:46 FSM Advanced Courses and Community 49:48 Thanksgiving Reflections and Traditions ### The Power of Gratitude in Healthcare **1. Reframing Patient Challenges:** In the fast-paced world of medicine, reorienting challenges as opportunities for learning can be transformative. Instead of viewing a patient's complex case as a setback, consider asking yourself, "What is this patient here to teach me?" This shift in mindset not only alleviates the pressure of immediate perfection but opens avenues for deeper understanding and innovative solutions. **2. Patient-Centric Goals:** Establishing treatment priorities by listening to patients can enhance outcomes. Instead of focusing solely on clinical markers, engage with patients to understand their personal goals. Asking questions like, "When this issue is resolved, what are the first two things you want to do?" grounds treatment plans in patient-centric outcomes, fostering a partnership in the healing journey. ### Integration of FSM in Practice **1. Addressing Chronic Complications:** FSM offers a nuanced approach to chronic conditions, especially where traditional methods may fall short. For conditions like frozen shoulder or mysterious disc-related issues, FSM's ability to specify frequencies can target different tissue types and pathologies, making it a versatile tool in complex scenarios. **2. Innovating with Frequency Combinations:** The integration of FSM into practice hinges on understanding the interplay of frequencies. For instance, using frequencies to address torn and broken tissues can shift treatment dynamics in chronic disc conditions. Additionally, thinking creatively—such as applying FSM for pubic synthesis or complex shoulder issues—demonstrates FSM's potential in expanding beyond conventional treatment paradigms. **3. The Importance of Treatment Context:** Recognizing when to apply FSM is critical. Positionally responsive symptoms, for example, require a discerning eye. If a patient's pain fluctuates significantly with posture, FSM can pinpoint underlying nerve or fascia issues. Understanding fascia's role, innervation, and constrictive potential is vital for effectively utilizing FSM's benefits. ### A Culture of Learning and Adaptation The landscape of medical practice is ever-evolving, necessitating continuous learning and adaptation. FSM exemplifies this spirit by encouraging practitioners to explore beyond traditional medical confines and invest in understanding the underlying causes rather than just symptoms. This mindset fosters an environment where medical professionals can not only embrace FSM methodology but also apply broader lessons of gratitude, innovation, and patient-centric care to elevate their practice. As the scope of FSM continues to grow, so does its potential to transform both patient experiences and practitioner expertise. By integrating gratitude and leveraging FSM, medical practitioners are well-equipped to navigate the complexities of modern medicine with empathy and precision.

Kelly Leonardi, a Pilates instructor, educator and professional ballerina joins us today to talk about the intersection of Pilates and dance which have been strongly intertwined since the beginning of the method. Many of the elders who worked with Joe and kept the work alive and growing after he died were dancers and both emphasize precision, control and moving from the center. In this personal episode, Kelly talks with us about her journey from dance to Pilates and how the two disciplines have enriched her life, improved her dancing and created a successful career filled with the joy and passion of moving well.Moving Conversation Socials    Brian's Book on Low Back Pain and Conditions:  Back Exercise; Stabilize, Mobilize and Reduce Pain  https://a.co/d/8IUb7L6    Email: movingconvos@gmail.com  IG: @movingconvos  FB: Moving Conversations    Brian  IG: @fit4lifedc  FB: https://www.facebook.com/brianrichey/     Nora  IG: nora.s.john.7  FB: https://www.facebook.com/nora.s.john.7

You know I preach the Eclectic Approach and empowering patients with Self-Treatment Strategies... but this one was straight out of the McKenzie Method textbook, almost too good to be true.I recently saw a PT with a five-year history of chronic LBP. He initially felt better with extension (press-ups), but that eventually faded and his flexion became painful and limited.Then, he started noticing something crazy that you parents will understand: every time he'd bend over to put his 5-month-old in or out of the crib (a repeated flexion activity!), his back pain got better. Even more so when he had to lower the crib level!

Breathing well is the foundation of health but getting clients to breathe better can be a challenge. In this episode, Brian and Nora discuss strategies for improving client's mind-body connection by helping them connect breath with movement. Beginning with ways to introduce breathing gently in the first session, we provide tips for dealing with clients who don't like to think about breath or who find focusing on breath distracting, anxiety provoking or pointless. As clients become more comfortable using breath, we discuss ways to explore breath rhythm and how to use breath to support upper body exercises. Full of practical tips and advice, this episode will provide a path to better breathing for you and your clients.Moving Conversation Socials    Brian's Book on Low Back Pain and Conditions:  Back Exercise; Stabilize, Mobilize and Reduce Pain  https://a.co/d/8IUb7L6    Email: movingconvos@gmail.com  IG: @movingconvos  FB: Moving Conversations    Brian  IG: @fit4lifedc  FB: https://www.facebook.com/brianrichey/     Nora  IG: nora.s.john.7  FB: https://www.facebook.com/nora.s.john.7
