  • Preach!

    I am so glad someone is bothering to debunk Loren Fishman, M.D. He peddles false hope, which is what cult leaders and other scam artists do. I can attest to personal emotional, psychological and relational damage because of his promises re. curing scoliosis “with just one pose a day” that I inflicted on my kids because of the false hope he offered. Columbia University should strip him of any affiliation with their institution. He claims to be an “assistant clinical professor” at Columbia. This t... more

  • How about addressing those who are obsessed with rotation and articulation?

    One again, you hit it out of the ballpark at the end of Episode 96 - there is so much patronizing going on regarding women and weights!

    Another subject that I find interesting is the obsession some people have with rotation. Some modalities pride themselves on basing all of their motions on rotating, or spiraling (because the rotating is accompanied with reaching the spine in opposite directions, like an infinitely twirling galaxy), saying that this is the way humans naturally move so we must t... more

  • Get some knowledge

    I have had the pleasure of working with both Laurel and Sarah when they brought their talents to Cleveland.

    Following their podcast has helped slowly deprogram my mindset out of the “I am broken “mentality. I really appreciate all of the evidence based information they provide. In this world where we have forgotten how to think critically they give you step-by-step directions on how to intake information with a critical eye.

    I really appreciate that they do the legwork, looking at and breaki... more

  • Please talk about “decompression”

    Hello! I have loved your show from the beginning. I come from a modality that talks about “decompressing the spine”. This is taught by rooting the feet down while simultaneously lengthening the spine upwards as if you want to grow taller and this can be done seated, standing or in other positions. We say cues like, “Imagine the vertebrae are lengthening apart from each other”. I think it’s to alleviate and prevent pain people tend to feel in their lower back, especially dancers who extend their... more
