InsideOut Movement

Many of my clients (if not all) had come to me after trying everything else. The PT, the acupuncture, surgery, strength training, plant medicines, gurus, you name it they tried it. Its not hard to understand how taking a leap of faith after repeated let downs is scary. I am always deeply grateful when someone puts their trust in me, I don't take it lightly, and I can't help but feel excitement for the life I know they will get to experience in just a few months time, once we lift what I call "the vail of pain".

Pain is an interesting thing, it doesn't strip us of our identity all at once, it does it slowly, overtime. It makes us think twice about doing things we would normally dive into without a second thought. In time, the lack of trust becomes our new normal.

Rebuilding the trust in our bodies both mentally and physically starts with rebuilding how we relate to and use our spine. If you have been caught in freeze mode due to a growing fear of movement, you are not alone, and you are not too broken to fix.

My DM's are always open 🫶

Chasing goals is tough. Going fast is tempting because it seems like it would limit suffering and allow max efficiency. However going too fast at the expense of quality and depth is a sign of inexperience.

When people have mastery of something it appears like they’re very fast at it. When really they’re just really smooth. They’ve experienced and owned every detail to a degree where their brain can calculate & coordinate their steps with extreme precision. Their depth of knowledge/ ownership shortens the timeline of the task at hand. A bunch of shortened tasks lined up looks to the eye that someone’s moving fast.

I see this misunderstanding in peoples lives at every level. Work goals, learning, physical development. It reflects in their body as well. Skipping steps in the name of accelerating progress not realizing the progress they seek was in those steps.

To the inexperienced those steps look like failures. To the experienced those are the necessary building blocks to shorten the pathway to the overall goal.

Running is one of the most accessible forms of movement we have, and yet most of the population cannot perform a run without pain or inflammation, and it’s not their fault.

We haven’t been taught how to actually use our bodies as systems. Everything we have been taught up until recently has focused on isolation.

When I was 19 I was running countless miles to lose weight, whenever I started getting into a groove, I’d get injured, either IT band Syndrome, plantar fasciitis, or ankle pain.

All of these different issues came from the same root: I didn’t know how to use my body as a system.

Fast forward to today, I have learned more hard sciences and movement education than most people get in a lifetime, I have completely reversed pattern based pain in myself as well as countless clients over the past 15 years, and I’ve built a model that takes this information and makes accessible to anyone.

We've got leg day, arm day, and yet no attention paid to our most valuable body part - the spine. Most of us were taught that the spine is a support column for our head. Very few of us know how the spine actually works.

It is my mission to make this knowledge available and easily understood. But understanding how the spine works, and actually using it in the ways it was meant to be used are two different things. It takes FEELING proper movement mechanics for everything to click.

When I started InsideOut Movement, I named it with exactly this in mind. To teach you to move from the deepest layer first (the spine).

It takes shedding old beliefs, surface level / ego driven aesthetic biases to be able to deeply understand this work. Once you do, movement becomes fluid, light, balanced, bouncy and with those you can train harder than ever before. All of the aesthetic gains you once had will come flooding in, with minimal effort, and you will actually feel good, not just look good while accomplishing things you never dreamed possible for yourself.

Pain is rarely random. Most often there are patterns taking place in the background that set the playing field, and then something either pops up seemingly out of no where or there is one specific instance that triggers an issue.

The nervous system learns. It adapts to stress, to emotion, to the beliefs you carry about how you need to show up. Over time, those adaptations embed into our posture. Our posture creates our patterns. Patterns become pain.

If you've been chasing a structural fix that never sticks, there may be a layer nobody's looked at yet.

The relationship between how you hold your body and what you believe about yourself is real, and it's changeable.

You don't have to keep managing it. Link in bio to book a consultation and movement assessment so you can learn what your patterns are setting you up for.

We have an entire industry built around back pain and yet chronic back pain rates have not gone down. They've gone up. The spine is not a static structure that needs to be manipulated back into place. It's a dynamic system that maintains itself through movement.

A table can't replicate that. A machine can't replicate that. An adjustment moves the joint but it doesn't teach the nervous system how to control it. The moment you stand up and go back to the movement patterns that created the problem, the problem starts rebuilding itself.

Fix HOW you move, and you fix the pain.

If you want to learn how to move so that every rep is helping you heal - book a free call (link in bio).

Your body naturally wants to be strong and healthy we just need to access it. It's our poo poo movement patterns, uneducated posture, and low quality passive day-to-day lifestyles that stiffen the tissue and cut off access to the space we need.

Access is everything.

Hydrated tissue. Decompressed joints. Integrated movement patterns. When those three things are present, every movement you make does more for you than any one exercise, anti-inflammatory pill, doctor visit or cortisone shot.

This isn't about mobility - thats only 1% of the equation.

Follow along & I'll show you how.

Most mental health treatment starts and ends in the head. The body doesn't get a seat at the table.

The nervous system doesn't separate mental and physical. It's one system. And the nervous system responds to the body it lives in.

The clearest your mind has ever felt will always be on the other side of an intentional movement practice.

Comment MIND below and I'll send you a my free 20 minute training to start building this practice.

Your brain will tap out before your body ever does.

The nervous system is a prediction machine. Its job is to conserve energy by avoiding anything unfamiliar. New movement, more effort — those are threats to its existing state. So it sends the tap out signal early. Before you've done a single rep.

Most people can't tell the difference between a brain trying to coast and a body that actually needs rest. So they grind themselves into the ground, or they talk themselves out of it entirely.

The skill is learning to read which one is talking.

Recreational sport is one of the best things you can do for your long term health. The social element, the competition, the movement variety. There's nothing quite like it.

But most people are one bad step away from a flare up every time they play. And over time that fear becomes the sport.

Here's what's actually happening. Your body distributes load across a chain of tissue. When the patterns controlling that chain are running in imbalance, certain areas absorb more than their share. Under the repeated demands of sport those areas break down. Research on musculoskeletal injury consistently points to movement pattern dysfunction as a primary driver, not age, not sport history, not bad luck.

Which means the fix isn't rest, or taping, or playing through it. It's rebuilding the patterns so load is distributed the way it was designed to be. When that happens, the body has the capacity to handle the sport. The pain stops being part of the equation.

Anyone else seeing this every time they leave the court?
