The Body Leaves Clues — But Only If We Know How to Read Them

Sun, 30 Aug 2026 06:59:40 GMT

A patient rarely arrives with one problem.

They may arrive with one complaint, one diagnosis, or one body part that has finally become impossible to ignore. But by the time a problem has become chronic, the body has usually built an entire compensation strategy around it.

The jaw hurts. The shoulder burns. The hip catches. The headaches return. The bite feels wrong.

From the patient’s side of the table, it can feel like the body has become a collection of unrelated failures. But the body is rarely that random.

It leaves clues.

The problem is that it does not speak in professions.

It does not say, “This is a dental problem,” or “This belongs to upper cervical chiropractic,” or “Please send this one to the manual therapist.” It speaks through tone, posture, pain, guarding, asymmetry, fatigue, breathing, balance, bite changes, and the strange little patterns that keep showing up when nobody is quite sure what they mean.

The body keeps track of adaptation. Not in words, not in diagnoses, and not according to professional categories, but in tone, posture, guarding, breath, balance, and the patterns that keep returning until someone learns how to read them.

The clinician’s job is not to force those clues into a preferred map.

The job is to learn how to read them.

That sounds simple enough.

It is not.

When a patient enters a fragmented healthcare system, their symptoms are often translated into the language of whichever professional room they happen to enter first. Jaw pain becomes a jaw problem. Shoulder pain becomes a shoulder problem. Headaches become a neck problem. Hip pain becomes a hip problem. A bite that feels wrong becomes a dental problem.

Sometimes that translation is correct. Often, it is incomplete.

Symptoms are clues, not verdicts.

That distinction matters because the site of complaint is not always the source of the pattern. A painful shoulder does not automatically mean the shoulder is the driver. A bite that feels wrong does not automatically mean the bite is the best place to begin. A hip that hurts does not always mean the hip began the problem. A headache does not automatically mean the neck owns the case.

The symptom may be the driver. It may be an access point. It may be the weather vane. A weather vane does not create the wind; it shows us which way the system is being pulled. In the same way, the symptom may be the place where the system is most loudly complaining because the true problem has been quietly pulling on the body from somewhere else.

This is why assessment matters so much.

Not assessment as a performance, not assessment as a checklist, and not assessment as a ritual we perform before doing the thing we had already decided to do.

Real assessment is an interrogation of the system — or perhaps more accurately, a conversation with the nervous system.

Not an aggressive conversation. The body is not a suspect under a hot lamp.

But we are asking questions. We are asking what changes when the patient sits, stands, breathes differently, loads the feet differently, or feels safer. We are asking what happens when the head is repositioned, when the pelvis becomes more symmetrical, or when one piece of the system is given better information.

These are not abstract questions. They are the questions that begin to reveal whether we are looking at the driver, an access point, or the weather vane.

This is why the jaw-first question mattered. The point was never that the jaw is unimportant. The point was that important and first are not the same thing.

That distinction applies far beyond the jaw.

Once the map gets bigger, the real question becomes: how do we know what is leading?

A patient whose bite feels different sitting than standing is giving us a clue. The teeth did not change. The restorations did not change. The mandible did not suddenly become a different mandible. The postural demand changed.

Gravity entered the room, and the bite responded.

That does not mean the bite is irrelevant. It means the bite may be expressing something larger than dentistry alone can explain.

A patient whose functional leg length difference changes after upper cervical work is giving us a clue. The leg did not grow. The pelvis did not magically become a different pelvis. The nervous system received different information, and the body reorganized around it.

That does not mean the pelvis was irrelevant. It means the pelvis may have been responding to something above it.

This is the kind of clinical reasoning that becomes necessary once the map gets bigger.

The old model asks where it hurts, which structure is symptomatic, and which profession owns the problem. The better model asks what the system is trying to protect, which structure is leading the compensation, and who needs to be in the room.

That shift changes everything.

It also makes care more difficult, because the larger map does not give us the comfort of simple answers. It asks us to tolerate uncertainty long enough to observe the patient honestly.

That is not always easy.

The nervous system was built for survival, not for our professional categories. It will compensate, guard, adapt, distort, stabilize, destabilize, and reorganize in whatever way seems most useful at the time. It will borrow stability from one area to protect another. It will sacrifice elegance for oxygen. It will tighten a jaw to organize a head. It will rotate a pelvis to level the eyes. It will change breathing to manage threat. It will distort movement to avoid pain.

The body is not random, but it is also not always obvious.

That is why assess-and-reassess thinking matters.

If we change an input and the system changes, we have learned something. We may not have learned everything, but we have learned something. If the bite feels different after standing, that is information. If jaw tone changes after pelvic correction, that is information. If pelvic position changes after upper cervical work, that is information. If pain decreases after breathing improves, that is information.

And if nothing changes, that is information too.

The question is whether we are listening, or merely translating everything into the language we already know.

This has been one of the most important lessons of our Teeth-to-Toes collaborations here in Calgary. The goal has never been to decide in advance that the bite is always first, the pelvis is always first, the atlas is always first, or the tongue is always first. That would only replace one small map with another.

The goal is to ask better questions in the right order.

Sometimes the dental assessment clarifies that the mouth has to lead. Sometimes the upper cervical spine is the piece the system cannot work around. Sometimes the lower body has to become more symmetrical before anything above it can hold. Sometimes the tongue, airway, and breathing patterns are shaping the entire functional environment. And sometimes the nervous system is so protective that everything else has to wait until the patient feels safer.

None of this makes care less scientific. It makes care more honest.

Science is not the refusal to change your mind. Science is the discipline of paying attention when the evidence in front of you does not match the story you brought into the room.

The patient’s body is evidence. Not perfect evidence. Not simple evidence. But evidence nonetheless.

A bite that changes between sitting and standing is evidence. A pelvis that changes after upper cervical correction is evidence. A headache that refuses to change despite perfect local treatment is evidence. And a patient who improves briefly and then relapses is evidence.

The relapse may be one of the most important clues of all.

When care helps but does not hold, the body may be telling us that we found an access point, but not the driver. We opened a door, but not necessarily the right door. We changed the system, but we did not yet change the condition that keeps pulling it back.

That is not failure.

It is information.

And if we are humble enough, it is direction.

This is where multidisciplinary care becomes more than professional cooperation. It becomes shared investigation. No one has to become someone else. The dentist does not have to become the manual therapist. The manual therapist does not have to become the dentist. The point is not to erase professional boundaries. The point is to become more curious about what may be visible from the other side of them.

Because the patient does not live in our categories.

The patient lives in the whole system.

That is why the future of healthcare will not be built by every profession defending its territory more aggressively. It will be built by clinicians who are willing to ask better questions, share better observations, and recognize when their piece of the puzzle is important but not sufficient.

The body leaves clues.

Sometimes they are subtle. Sometimes they are obvious. Sometimes they are hiding in plain sight because our training taught us to look somewhere else.

The work is not simply to collect more techniques. The work is to become better readers of the human system: to notice what changes, what holds, what returns, what compensates, what quiets down, and what keeps asking for attention.

Because the patient is not asking us to defend our preferred map.

They are asking us to help them follow the clues.

And if we follow them well enough, we may finally help them find the road home.

’til next time,

The Nervous System Does Not Care About Perfect

Fri, 28 Aug 2026 06:45:28 GMT

Why changing the position is not the same as changing the strategy

Some of the most important things I have learned about the human body came from treatments that worked, but not for the reasons I thought.

Almost 12 years ago, a woman with cervical dystonia was referred to me because her massage therapist had noticed something unusual. It was not her neck, although that was the part of her body receiving most of the clinical attention. It was her pelvis.

When I assessed her, I found one of the most asymmetrical pelvises I had ever seen. One side appeared dramatically higher and more rotated than the other. What surprised me, however, was not the extent of the asymmetry. It was how quickly and easily it changed.

Within a relatively short period of time, her pelvis looked remarkably different.

As she was leaving, I offered a prediction that was perhaps more honest than reassuring.

“I think you are going to wake up tomorrow feeling one of two ways,” I told her. “You will either feel amazing, or you will feel as though you have been hit by a truck.”

The next morning, an email appeared in my inbox.

I no longer remember exactly what she wrote. After all this time, the details have faded. But I will never forget the subject line.

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

About an hour later, another email arrived. This one was from a dentist I had never met. His name was Dr. Curtis Westersund, and he was leading the multidisciplinary team responsible for her care.

Much of that email has also faded from memory, but one question has stayed with me ever since.

“Where have you been all my life?”

That email marked the beginning of a friendship and professional collaboration that continues to this day. Much of the multidisciplinary work that has shaped the last decade of my career can be traced, at least indirectly, back to that patient and her remarkably crooked pelvis.

Clinically, however, the story was not quite the triumph those two emails seemed to suggest.

The result did not hold.

At the time, I was disappointed. Looking back, I am not sure why I expected otherwise.

Her pelvis had become dramatically more symmetrical in a single treatment. The change was real, and her response was extraordinary, but nothing about the speed of that correction suggested stability. Her nervous system had briefly experienced a different option. It had not yet learned to prefer it.

I was still thinking primarily in mechanical terms. The pelvis had changed position, so I assumed the challenge was keeping it there.

Today, I see a more important distinction.

We had changed the position. We had not yet changed the strategy.

Why would one brief experience outweigh years of adaptation, repetition and motor learning? The remarkable part may not have been that her body returned to its old pattern. The remarkable part was that it had been persuaded to leave it, even temporarily.

For much of my career, I believed some version of an idea I had heard from many influential teachers: the nervous system is always seeking perfection.

In different ways, rehabilitation pioneers such as Dr. Ida Rolf, Thomas Hanna and Pete Egoscue suggested that the body possesses an innate tendency toward balance, symmetry and more efficient organization. Given the right input, or with the right obstacles removed, the system would naturally begin finding its way back toward something closer to ideal.

It is an attractive idea. It also helped move rehabilitation away from treating muscles and joints as isolated parts. These pioneers taught us to see relationships and to respect the body’s extraordinary ability to reorganize itself.

But the story did not end there.

Vladimir Janda showed how the nervous system can become organized around predictable compensatory patterns. Movement is not merely organized; it is learned. Strategies become familiar and automatic, even when they are no longer serving the body particularly well.

Modern motor-control research has taken that idea further.

The nervous system is not necessarily searching for perfection. It is searching for a workable solution.

Consider what happens when you walk across an icy parking lot. Your steps shorten, your knees remain slightly bent, your trunk stiffens and your arms drift away from your sides. You may shuffle toward the car with all the elegance of someone carrying a full cup of coffee across a trampoline.

Nobody would describe that as ideal movement. Yet if it prevents you from falling, it has done exactly what it was supposed to do.

The same principle applies when the challenge is pain, instability, fatigue, unreliable sensory information or a body part that no longer feels trustworthy. The nervous system is not asking, “What is the perfect way to move?” It is asking, “What strategy gives me the best chance of completing this task under the circumstances I have today?”

It can shift load, increase stiffness, reduce movement or rely more heavily on a familiar pattern. The solution may not be elegant, and it may eventually become costly, but it can still make sense.

A patient may shift onto one leg because the other side feels unreliable. They may brace the jaw because stiffness creates predictability. They may rotate the pelvis because that position helps keep the head and eyes level.

A compensation is therefore not necessarily evidence that the body has failed. It may be evidence that the body found a way to keep functioning.

The trouble is that a useful short-term solution can become an expensive long-term habit.

Earlier in my career, when I saw an obvious asymmetry, I was much more inclined to ask, “How do I correct what I am seeing?”

Today, I am more interested in asking, “What is this pattern accomplishing?”

That does not mean every compensation should be left alone. Some overload tissues, reduce capacity or gradually trap the patient inside an increasingly narrow range of movement options. But before removing a compensation, we should understand what job it is doing.

Otherwise, we may take away the only solution the nervous system currently trusts.

Sean reminded me of that more recently.

I wrote briefly about his case in The Biomechanical Brain. He was profoundly hypersensitive, and there were legitimate concerns about possible hypermobility in his cervical spine. Everything about his presentation suggested a nervous system that had become exceptionally protective.

Looking back, I should have been more conservative with my corrective exercise selections at the beginning.

The exercises themselves were not necessarily wrong. In fact, they eventually became part of the solution. The problem was that I asked his system to accommodate too much change before it was ready.

His symptoms worsened before they improved.

It was the closest I have come in the past six or seven years to what clinicians sometimes refer to, rather inelegantly, as “blowing someone up.” It was an uncomfortable reminder that a well-reasoned intervention can still exceed what a hypersensitive nervous system is prepared to tolerate.

At first, I saw Sean’s reaction mainly as a dosing problem. I had chosen too much, too soon. That was true, but it was not the entire lesson.

His stiffness, guarding and altered movement were not simply defects waiting to be removed. They were part of the most effective protective strategy his nervous system could muster at the time. By asking for too much change too quickly, I may have reduced some of that protection before his system had enough confidence or stability to replace it.

He did not worsen because change was impossible. He worsened because the proposed change was not yet usable.

The cervical dystonia patient and Sean taught me opposite sides of the same lesson. In one case, a dramatic improvement appeared quickly but was not durable. In the other, a reasonable intervention produced more change than the nervous system was initially prepared to tolerate.

One new strategy was not yet stable. The other was not yet tolerable.

Neither problem could be understood by looking at mechanics alone.

This has helped me reinterpret the familiar patient who improves dramatically, then returns saying, “It didn’t hold.”

For years, I thought about that almost entirely in mechanical terms. What moved back? What tightened again? What weakened?

Those questions still matter, but they are incomplete.

The more important question is whether we changed the patient’s position or changed the patient’s preferred solution.

A dentist can create a new bite relationship. A therapist can restore movement to a joint. A chiropractor can change cervical mechanics. A corrective exercise program can improve pelvic alignment. Each intervention creates a new possibility, but the nervous system still has to decide whether that possibility is stable, useful and worth adopting.

A change that looks excellent in the treatment room may not yet be the solution the nervous system prefers outside it.

This is especially relevant in dentistry. Changing occlusion does more than change where the teeth meet. It also changes sensory information entering the nervous system and alters the relationship between a familiar motor command and its expected result.

The patient closes the jaw, but the contacts feel different. The nervous system must learn what that new relationship means and how to use it.

Some patients recalibrate quickly. Others guard, shift, clench or return to an older strategy. That does not automatically mean the dentistry is mechanically incorrect, nor does it mean the patient’s experience is imaginary. It may mean the intervention has created an adaptation problem the nervous system has not yet solved.

The same is true within the Alignment First Protocol, the corrective exercise system I developed. Improving pelvic position is not the final goal. We begin there because, in many patients, creating a more stable and symmetrical foundation makes further changes easier. More importantly, it often serves the deeper objective: giving the nervous system a better movement option, then helping make that option useful, repeatable and available across different contexts.

That is why assessment and retesting matter. We are not merely asking whether a joint moved or a muscle lengthened. We are asking whether changing one input altered the system’s chosen output—and whether the new solution remains available once the patient stops thinking about it.

A movement that can be demonstrated consciously has not necessarily been learned automatically.

We can create a better position without establishing a better solution. The patient may access the new pattern in the clinic, only to have the old one return at the workstation, in the gym, while chewing, during sleep or under stress.

The old learning was never erased. It remained available, waiting for familiar circumstances to call it back.

Lasting change therefore requires more than moving anatomy. The newer strategy has to become sufficiently useful, tolerable and well practised that the nervous system begins selecting it without constant supervision.

These days, when I see an asymmetry, I still want to understand whether it contributes to the patient’s problem. I still believe that improving alignment can create profound changes elsewhere in the body.

But before I try to remove the pattern, I ask a different question than I would have asked earlier in my career.

What problem is this solving?

Because if I do not understand why the nervous system chose the present strategy, I have very little chance of replacing it with something better.

The nervous system may not care about perfect. It cares whether the solution works.

Our job is to help make a better solution available, tolerable and eventually worth choosing.

The Dakin Effect: HURTING NOT HELPING

Wed, 26 Aug 2026 06:17:51 GMT

HURTING NOT HELPING

Let me tell you a story that perfectly illustrates what I call the Dakin Effect. It's a phenomenon most of the medical world is still blind to: all exercise is not created equal. One man's medicine can indeed be another man's poison. In fact, sometimes the same exercise might be beneficial for one side of your body but harmful for the other!

One of the best examples of the Dakin Effect from my practice happened nearly 30 years ago. I shared this story in The Body Mechanic’s Handbook, but it's worth repeating. It involves a middle-aged man who had been suffering from relentless lower back pain for 25 long years. When I assessed his standing posture, I noticed something unusual: his pelvis was tilting backward. This isn’t a common postural pattern.

Curious about how he ended up this way, I started asking him questions. As we talked, he suddenly had an epiphany. He recalled that 25 years earlier, his Tai Chi sensei had instructed him to stand with his "tailbone tucked under." Eureka! He had been deliberately creating this posterior pelvic tilt for a quarter of a century!

I explained to him that while this is a useful strategy if your pelvis tends to tilt too far forward, there is a healthy range of pelvic tilt. Unfortunately, he had been unknowingly pushing his pelvis out of this healthy range for decades.

While his sensei was undoubtedly a Tai Chi expert, this advice had been disastrous for my patient’s posture. Once he understood this, he stopped tilting his pelvis backward. And guess what? His lower back pain began to subside shortly after.

This story is a powerful reminder: don’t fall into the same trap! Whether you’re already a patient or just considering becoming one, get your posture assessed.

Learn what you need to keep your "wheels" aligned. Life is too short to suffer needlessly.

The Future of Health

Tue, 25 Aug 2026 06:01:51 GMT

Opening Scene: A Glimpse into the Future

Imagine a bustling schoolyard in the year 2034. Children, brimming with energy, engage in their morning routines. Amidst the laughter and playful shouts, something unique is happening in schools across the globe: students are practicing the fundamentals of the Alignment First Protocol (AFP).

The Problem: Today's Health Crisis

Today, we face a health crisis unlike any other. Postural problems, chronic pain, and opioid addiction plague millions worldwide. Many of these issues begin from a young age, evolving and growing over time. Traditional methods of dealing with these problems have proven insufficient, leaving many in a cycle of frustration, disability, and pain.

The Vision: Early Education and Prevention

In this future, we have reframed our approach to health education. Recognizing that early intervention is key, schools worldwide have integrated AFP fundamentals into their curricula. From kindergarten to high school, children learn about their bodies, the importance of proper posture, and healthy movement.

The Daily Routine: Practical Application

Each day begins with a 15-minute session dedicated to AFP exercises. Teachers, trained in the protocol, guide students through movements designed to create healthy posture and promote lifelong habits of healthy movement. These exercises are not only corrective but also enhance students' focus and readiness to learn.

The Impact: A Healthier Generation

As a result, we witness a generation growing up with a profound understanding of their bodies. These children, now teenagers, exhibit fewer incidences of chronic pain or athletic injury. They carry this knowledge into adulthood, significantly reducing the prevalence of posture issues and joint replacement surgeries in society.

Addressing Individual Needs: Beyond the Classroom

However, despite this early education, some individuals will still encounter problems. Their unique needs, learning styles, posture patterns, and degrees of health, mobility, and vitality mean that a one-size-fits-all approach is not always enough. For these individuals, the journey continues with tailored solutions.

The Body Mechanic’s Handbook: A DIY System

For those seeking to take charge of their health, the Body Mechanic’s Handbook offers a DIY approach. It empowers individuals with the knowledge and tools to address their own postural issues and back pain. This resource is invaluable for those who prefer to learn and practice independently.

Practical Rehab Video Course: Guided Support

Yet, some find that they need more structured guidance. For these individuals, the Practical Rehab video course provides a step-by-step program, offering a more interactive and supportive experience. This course is ideal for those who benefit from visual instruction and a more communal learning environment.

Personalized Care: One-on-One Consultations

For others, even more personalized care is necessary. Whether through in-clinic visits or one-on-one video consultations, these individuals receive tailored plans of corrective care. This level of attention ensures that their unique needs are met, providing them with the most effective strategies for their specific conditions.

Learning from Mistakes: Designing a Healthier Future

If joint replacement surgeries and opioid addictions are epidemic today, let's learn from our mistakes and design a future where more physicians are healthy living advocates, not health crisis workers. By understanding the principles of biomechanics and the scientific method, every human body can be treated as a dynamic experiment, optimizing health through informed, proactive care.

The Broader Implications: Community and Beyond

The ripple effects of this initiative extend beyond individual health. Families adopt these practices at home, fostering a culture of wellness. Communities grow stronger, with lower healthcare costs and a more active population. Employers notice higher productivity and fewer sick days as the workforce, educated from a young age in AFP principles, enjoys better health.

The Global Movement: Aligning the World

This vision doesn’t stop at the borders of one country. It’s a global movement. International health organizations recognize the value of AFP, advocating for its inclusion in schools everywhere. Countries collaborate, sharing research and best practices to continually refine and enhance the program.

Closing Scene: A Future We Can Build

As we look back from this future, we see the pivotal role that the Alignment First Protocol has played in transforming health education. It started as a visionary idea, championed by those who understood the importance of alignment in overall health. Today, it is a cornerstone of education, shaping healthier, more aware generations.

Is this crazy talk? I don't think so. This is a future we can build together. By integrating AFP into our schools, and offering tailored solutions for those who need more support, we pave the way for a world where chronic pain and joint replacements are rarities, not norms. It’s a future where millions of children grow up with the tools they need to lead healthy, aligned lives, and everyone can find the level of support they need, regardless of their unique challenges.

Why your Posture is a Masterpiece or a Disaster

Mon, 24 Aug 2026 05:25:02 GMT

Hey everyone! Let’s talk about something that’s always hanging around—quite literally—your posture.

Now, before you roll your eyes and straighten your back (you know you just did), let’s dive into how two famous laws from the world of biomechanics—Hooke’s Law and Wolff’s Law—are secretly governing your posture. Think of them as the Batman and Robin of your biomechanical universe, working to keep you standing tall or letting you slump over in defeat.

Hooke’s Law: The Elastic Band in Your Body

Let me tell you about Sarah. Sarah is a busy office worker who spends hours a day hunched over her computer. One day, she noticed that her back pain had become a constant companion, as reliable as her morning coffee.

When Sarah finally came to see me, she learned about Hooke’s Law. Imagine her surprise when she found out that her muscles and tendons were acting like over-stretched elastic bands! Hooke’s Law says that these tissues stretch in proportion to the force applied to them, which is why her slouching habit was leaving her muscles saggy and ineffective, just like an old elastic band that’s lost its snap.

But here’s the silver lining: Hooke’s Law also means that by starting to practice good posture, Sarah’s muscles and tendons could regain their elasticity. After diligently practicing the Alignment First exercises I gave her, within weeks, those elastic bands were starting to work in her favor, pulling her back into alignment.

Wolff’s Law: The Body’s Remodeling Crew

Then there’s Ben. Ben is a weightlifter who, despite his impressive muscles, started developing some pretty intense back pain. He discovered that even though his muscles were strong, his bones were starting to show the strain of poor lifting form and compromised posture.

Enter Wolff’s Law: Ben learned that his bones were like a constantly renovating house, adapting to the loads they were under. Because he was lifting and standing with poor posture, his bones were remodeling themselves to support that bad form. It’s as if his body was reinforcing the very habits that were causing his pain—imagine trying to fix a crooked wall by adding more crooked beams!

With some simple changes to his training regimen, including how he performs his exercises, Ben’s training began to support good posture rather than detract from it. His bones will remodel in a healthy way. Over time, his body’s “construction crew” will work with him instead of against him.

Hooke + Wolff = Your Posture Power Duo

Sarah and Ben’s stories show how Hooke’s and Wolff’s Laws can either be your greatest allies or your worst enemies when it comes to posture.

The good news? You have the power to direct these forces in your favor. Like Sarah, you can retrain your elastic bands to support good posture, and like Ben, you can encourage your bones to remodel in a way that supports your body instead of sabotaging it.

The Takeaway: Be the Boss of Your Posture

In the grand scheme of biomechanics, you’re the boss of how Hooke’s and Wolff’s Laws play out in your body. They’re there to support whatever habits you decide to cultivate, good or bad. So why not give them the right orders? That’s where the Alignment First Protocol comes in. Your muscles and bones will thank you by making good posture be more automatic and feel more natural over time.

And remember, even though we’re talking laws here, they’re not set in stone. You have the power to change the way your body responds. So, go out there and be the posture superhero you were meant to be—Hooke and Wolff are ready to follow your lead!

Although lifespans are getting longer, I continue to hear horror stories about people losing their mobility and independence. Imagine living more than one hundred years, but needing multiple joint replacement surgeries and spending the last twenty years of your life in a wheelchair because of your back and knees! That doesn't have to be your future. Don’t let it happen to you or your loved ones!

P.S.

If you “get” this information but are unsure how to apply it to yourself, I’ve got good news! Next month, I am launching my 6-week video course called Practical Rehab.

In this course, you’ll receive video instructions on how to practice the ten exercise progressions of the Alignment First Protocol. Every Sunday, we’ll have a Zoom call to get all your questions answered.

And to make sure I overdeliver on my promise to do everything I can to solve your back pain problems, you’ll also get four one-hour one-on-one video sessions with me to finish the course.

As a bonus for trusting me with your health and allowing me to use video and images from the course for marketing, I’m offering you this opportunity at a 50% discount.

If you’re interested in applying to join this small inaugural class (5 seats remaining), send me an email at geoff@alignmentfirst.ca
