  • Again, a chicken or egg argument. One of the mis-representations of manual therapy is lack of addressing the need for patients to learn motor programs correctly. Yes, you may "clear up" the problem in the clinic, but it won't stick if the client is weak due to lifestyle-induced muscle imbalances. Bottom line, BOTH approaches are valid, and rely on each other for long term results.

  • @HolisticSam i have watched a couple of your videos now...and i must ask what is your opinion on osteopaty?

  • @markobegus ,

    All therapies work to the extent that the practitioner knows what they are doing. I've met a few osteopaths that I was not impressed with. They can talk all this anatomical bs, and talk circles around me on fascia, etc, but they also take too freakin long to get results!

  • So you do mention muscle imbalances and I have seen your video about neuromuscular massage... what do you know about SMR?

  • Sam, thank you so much for your professional insight on muscular imbalances. Great introduction.

  • @HolisticSam interesting aspect of yours...for i have never had such fast results with any kind of therapy as i did with ostepathy, not to mention the disbalance repared never occoured again.

  • I like your video and how you explained the Psoas pulling the back and hips into the pelvic tilt. 

    Great Job!
