It doesn’t matter what the doctor calls it, bulged, herniated, thinning etc. The primary cause of all of these conditions is spinal compression due to ergonomic factors. Gravity in itself will compress your discs, don’t take it to heart, everyone has some sort of compression in their discs, that’s life. But don’t expect disc issues to go away on their own, bed rest is the worst thing to ever be prescribed for back pain, movement is medicine.

After spending 27 years on my feet , walking for many many hrs on concrete floors my legs had become painful and tense and got really tired very quickly. I had ...tried massage, physio and exercises but nothing helped . The pain was a daily grind and impacting my mobility hugely. A former nursing colleague recommended Blair and Myofix so I had nothing to lose in trying him . He was very friendly and made me feel at ease and was able to determine exactly what was going on with the fascia around my muscles and fix it . It has made a tremendous difference to both pain levels and my mobility and I need my Myofix fix every 3-4 weeks to keep me in optimum shape . I would not be this good without his treatment and will continue to maintain my health with his care. I highly recommend Blair and his therapy it really has been life changing

Highly recommend Blair He’s knowledgeable To the point Makes me feel comfortable and heard... I have chronic pain and Blair has been a big help for me with pain management and my issues that come with it. Thank you Blair

Arch support, yes or no? Yes and no, arch support can be used in the same way we use a cast, for temporary support before the structure can survive on it’s own. Arch support is best used to teach the foot how to perform and then to be taken away so the foot can work on it’s own. Curious what I mean?

Neck pain? Here you go. I thought I would bring back this piece of art.

post @attain_health Stuck in a rut? Avoiding a difficult problem or emotion? Take one small step towards changing that thing. FACT: Life is inherently uncertain. One thing you can count on, is that if you do nothing different today than you did yesterday, you will likely stay the same. Whether it's improving your physical, mental, emotional or spiritual health, take action. If you need help with a part of your health, let us know. We can help AND if it isn't something we can... handle, we will help direct you to the right place. #motivation #change #improvement #bebetter #buildingcommunity #healthiswealth #positivity #teamworkdreamwork

Im not pointing fingers... okay I’m absolutely pointing fingers. If the shoe fits...

STRETCHED tissue is usually the PAINFUL tissue. What does this mean? It means lengthening the PAINFUL tissue can actually make the problem WORSE. This is the exact reason why you must use assessment and not treat based on symptoms. This is what separates a good therapist from a GREAT therapist

This is an example of how a singular issue can cause a systemic imbalance. But its not that simple, this picture does not show rotational issues and discrepancies in joint positions. The body sometimes follows similar patterns but sometimes it does whatever the hell it wants and makes no sense at all. This is why I have a job

Cancellation tomorrow!

Low back side bending will cause rotational issues up the spine and also cause a visual change in hip height. So before we conclude the issue must be in the T spine or a leg length discrepancy we must assess each psoas for length and also ability to contract.

@regenerativeperformance If the problem is neurogenic inflammation due to an entrapment of the nerve, then it makes more sense to actually treat the problem instead of just giving meds to reduce the perception of pain. If the problem is ligament laxity due to a past injury, it makes more sense to treat the laxity with something like regenerative injections as opposed to just giving anti-inflammatory medications. 'Treating' pain is easy ('here, take this pill'), addressing the problem is usually harder. But the former makes you reliant on the medications, and the latter provides a chance to not be reliant on anything.

I opened up 2 more spots tomorrow!

Bet you didnt think you could mess up at sleeping? WRONG. This will help

Stop Generalizing - Hey guys, just because something worked for YOU doesn't mean it will work for EVERYONE ELSE - I receive DAILY messages about how because treatment "X" absolutely cured someone's problem, everyone else should be doing the exact same thing... - Some of these people even get aggressive if what I suggest as potentially helpful treatment, advice, and/or exercise strategies don't line up perfectly with the EXACT parameters of what worked for THEM - If you're one of those people, LISTEN TO ME... - If you found a plan that worked for you, that's great! I'm happy for you. I really am. - But PLEASE stop blindly telling other people with different backgrounds, experiences, diagnoses, ages, beliefs, values, capacities, understanding, training history, etc that YOUR WAY is the ONLY WAY - It's not. I can promise you that. - And for many people, believe it or not, YOUR WAY may even be the WORST WAY for them - I can't emphasize this enough - To break this down a little bit more, when you do this you are relying on PERSONAL ANECDOTAL EVIDENCE - And you CANNOT (according to science) use PERSONAL ANECDOTES as EVIDENCE of causal relationships - For example, "Karen did "X" exercises, then got better; therefore, everyone should do "X" exercises." - In this case, just because Karen got better AFTER doing "X" exercises does not mean that "X" exercises CAUSED her to get better - They MAY have contributed, but still...you can't PROVE that they did from this information alone - In fact, there may have been several other factors that contributed much more to her getting better (e.g. time, healing, positive expectations, etc) - Which means Karen shouldn't run around telling everyone else that doing "X" exercises will SOLVE their problem because they solved hers (or so she might think) - In other words...SHUT UP Karen - But seriously...the BEST treatment, advice, and/or exercise strategies are based on strong scientific evidence, the experience/expertise of someone knowledgeable and trained within the area of expertise, and take into account the CONTEXT of the individual (which may be wildly different from person to perso See more

Last minute opening tomorrow!

Cupping is not what I do. Cupping is a tool I use during myofascial decompression and is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to my overall treatment goal. Manipulation of the nervous system is the target, cupping just helps me get there

Let me be the SMRT one, people.

Throwback Posted @withregram @myofix_ Troy was told his only option was surgery...I said nope. . I have seen Troy 1x/week for the last 6 weeks. When we started, he could barley move without pain, had extreme struggles with his day to day activities and had a serious amount of posterior pelvic tilt from excessive hamstring and ab training, sending shooting sciatic pain down his legs on the daily. FAST FORWARD. Troy is the most comfortable he has ever been in his life, his ...mobility is night and day and he has very limited sciatic pain. He has also been following a very strict stretching regime I have implemented as well. . TROY IS 22, SURGERY IS NOT YOUR ONLY OPTION. . *consent has been gained for the sharing of this information* See more

Dont let this be you.... take care of yourself, fool.

At least he taught us how not to stand!

Posted @withregram @regenerativeperformance This may challenge everything you've been told before. But it's the truth. What is seen on imaging then? Structural changes that could be contributing to your pain. Keyword - could. There's a big difference between what could be causing your pain and what is causing your pain. This is very nuanced, but it actually make a huge difference.

Sorry people with arch support insoles, its the truth. :/

WHAT IS FASCIA?! Fascia is dense connective tissue covering and interpenetrating every muscle, bone, nerve, artery, vein, and all of our internal organs (heart, lungs, brain and spinal cord, etc). One of the most interesting aspect of the fascial system is that its actually one continuous structure that exists from head to toe without interruption. In this way you can begin to see why a holistic approach to assessing and treating the body is so important!... When one experiences physical or emotional trauma, scarring or inflammationthe fascia loses its pliability. It becomes tight, restricted and a source of tension to the rest of the body. Fascial restrictions affect our flexibility, stability and are a determining factor in our ability to withstand stress and perform daily activities. The fascial system is one of the most important and extensive systems, because it connects every system together! See more

Everything is connected The body cavities (thorax, abdomen & pelvis) are interconnected and movement in one will cause a ripple effect onto another. For example, respiratory movements (movement of the ribcage and thoracic diaphragm) cause movement in the neck and pelvis. This is why, as a practitioner, I treat the body holistically! So if you come in for shoulder pain, dont be surprised if you also get treatment through your pelvis!

Blair is awesome at what he does and fixed my back feeling better after the first treatment. But it was the follow-ups that really made everything feel so much better.

Thanks Blair excellent work helping me with pain in my leg. What I really like is the exercises to do to help keep my muscles loose. Im impressed at how well my leg feels a day later

Bones was talking crap... so I smashed his sternum #toughlove #hefelloverandsmashed

Alright alright alrighttttt, time to reopen on May.4, but appointments will be limited for the time being until things calm down a bit more, giving me adequate time to clean and sanitize. I will be contacting as many people as I can to book everyone in. Be patient please, my wait list has grown quite substantially. If you want to get a head-start, go to the link below, otherwise I will try to contract everyone in the next few days! Ps. If youre sick or have been exposed...stay away. Thank you for youre cooperation over these treacherous couple months

Postural issues are complex and need a lot of evaluation. You must not see one portion of the circle without the others. Something caused this problem, if not fixed, another problem will result and that problem will cause another problem and so on. This is a cycle of mechanical barriers causing anatomical issues that will inevitably cause physiological problems that will then cause mechanical barriers again and the cycle repeats itself. Dont ignore the little stuff and pay attention to your body

@thefootcollective Great graphic and caption by the team at @vivobarefoot. Its pretty simple: wear pointy shoes = develop pointy feet (aka bunions) WOMEN DITCHED THE STAYS AND CORSETS ISNT IT TIME WE DID THE SAME WITH NARROW, POINTY SHOES?? . This image shows how feet can be pushed and pinched into the shape of shoes. And for women and girls this shoe shape is more than likely to be slim and pointy... . So what happens to slim and pointy feet? When we consider adult women are FOUR TIMES as likely as men to have debilitating, painful foot problems, its pretty clear WOMENS SHOES are a problem . Isnt it time fashion stopped constricting our bodies into painful submission? This mother is making sure her daughter DOESNT follow in her pointy-shoe footsteps, literally . While Mum has uncomfortable, unhealthy and unhappy feet, shes making sure Daughters footsteps stay FOOT-SHAPED: she goes barefoot where possible and when shoes are necessary makes sure those shoes are foot-shaped: FLEXIBLE, WIDE and BENDY so her daughters feet can grow strong and healthy . VivoKids are all created to be as close to barefoot as possible; protecting only from climate and terrain so feet can do their natural, healthy thing as they grow . We dont believe in corsets: for bodies - or feet! #thefootcollective #healthyfeet #barefoot #strongfeet #injuryprevention #physicaltherapy #education #beinformed #human #movement #health #prehab #painfree #humanshoes #bunions #ottawa #bettershoes #pointyfeet #warning #footwear #bettershoes #Vivobarefoot See more

Physical activity builds muscles, yes. BUT it also builds bone and connective tissue. Want strong bones when youre old? Exercise!

Posture is a balance of front to back, side to side and about 500 other variations reliant on many other social ergonomic factors. Heels are the worst things ever created when it comes to footwear lol. The body always compensates, and in this case it is not for the better. Consistent heel usage will cause huge problems while you wear them now and even bigger problems in later years when you stop wearing them. #sorrynotsorry #imshorttoo

Your migraines might actually be coming from the muscles in your upper back/neck. Recent research has proved correlation between the muscles at the base of the skull and the eyeballs/sinuses...your migraines might not actually be migraines

You sleep roughly 1/3 of your day...make sure youre pain free when doing so

Opened up a few more spots next week!
