I'm Sorry and I Should be Flogged for Not Doing This

Hi Supporters,

The community is about to get a whole lot cleaner. All video content will now be presented a lot better.

All videos are being uploaded DIRECTLY to this community now. No external links. No clogging up the News Feed (when viewing from laptop).

What this means:

On laptop/desktop: All videos including webinars and recorded Q&A and round table sessions can be found under 'Content' in the menu on the left hand side.

On your phone using the app, all videos will be right in the news feed and can be played right in the app. It looks a heck of a lot better.

The News Feed will be cleaned up and primarily for Supporters to post case studies, questions, and comments as y'all have been doing already. It will just look better.

Thank you! I'm still learning and always looking to improve things.

Long Distance Running

Spring is coming… eventually. And when it does, runners will start emerging again, not just the die-hards who have been braving the cold all winter. I treat a whole spectrum of runners in clinic, from Ironman athletes to weekend joggers and everything in between. This webinar is an absolute goldmine, and I hope you get as much out of it as I have.

Calling EXSTORE Grads

5 patients on needles as i make this video….

Vascular TOS, anyone? I have a good friend (male, 45 yo) who was developing blood clots in his arm and underwent 1st rib removal surgery 5 years ago. Recently he was hospitalized with another blood clot. MDs are divided as to what to do (re-route his jugular, for example). I'm wondering if there's anything I can offer him acupuncturally to help prevent clots regardless of whatever else he's doing. (He's now on blood thinners.) @Exstoreman have you ever treated a vascular form of TOS?

Pain under sit bone

Question about a patient - chronic low back pain, but also has pain under the left sit bone aggravated by sitting, which is worse and more noticeable than the back pain.
Bilateral TFL and psoas tested inhibited
SLR negative
First visit - treated bilateral internal oblique, TVA, glute max and glute med - saw 50% improvement
Repeated same treatment, came back and said pain was worse and back to where it was before starting treatment.
Treated her today face up - internal oblique, TVA, and TFL bilateral with stim.
Curious if you have any insights as to how else I could approach this? Thank you!

Location of Soft Tissue Release for Drop Foot

@Exstoreman I now have several patients with L4-L5 herniation and drop foot and/or leg-foot nerve pain. Some of them are making good progress, others not so much.

Should I be doing soft tissue work around L4-L5 and/or elsewhere?

And you previously mentioned there's a way to use gua sha effectively for this (since I have hand/wrist injury), can you describe that?
