// 2023 CHANNEL UPDATE //

I’ve moved on from Mobility Mastery (self fascia release) in order to focus on teaching Kinetix, my method of root cause discovery for pain and dis-ease that involves partner fascia release as a “diagnostics” (and regeneration) tool. Kinetix is a complete scientific methodology that I teach to friends, partners and professionals alike inside The Kinetix Academy.

My other primary focus will be the launch and growth of a new podcast and Substack community called The Human Freedom Project.

// NEW CONTENT ON YOUTUBE //

Sometime in 2023 I will return to YouTube with HFP podcast episodes and content created to help you know and understand yourself as a whole organism made of body, soul and spirit. This content will feature the Kinetix methodology, pain science, fascia secrets I’ve learned from 15+ years in private practice, neuroscience and evolving beyond the brain, trauma and the body, and more! I’m excited to go on this new adventure with you.

If I had to pick only ONE area of the body to check for a major imbalance that could be causing low back pain, SI joint issues, hip pain, pelvic imbalances and resultant chain reactions upstream and downstream - it would be the fascia within the quads and quad hip flexors, including some of that TFL fascia in the junction between the high quads (rectus femoris) and IT Band. Without question, this is where the majority of pelvic imbalances come from that I see in my private practice. (Sometimes that adductors and IT Bands play a role too, but the quads are more often dominant in most people).

In the case of low back pain, SI pain or pelvic imbalances, the TRICK is finding the more restricted or adhesed side - because if we work both sides equally and there’s an imbalance, we just did some good but there’s still an imbalance.

Even though I have other videos out showing how to release the quads and quad hip flexors, I wanted to make this video to walk you through the high quad and TFL region so you can add it to your quad and hip flexor foam rolling fascial release routine.

If you SIT all day - this is one of the BEST things you can do for your body! I would also encourage you to STRENGTHEN your posterior chain, which gets weak from underuse and overstretched by us sitting all day, especial the high hamstrings. Those high hamstrings get OVER STRETCHED when we sit! That might sound weird because you probably FEEL your hamstrings talking to you a lot. That’s because they’re itching to get exercises and they’d love to NOT be so stretched all the time! And the low quads - same thing: overstretched and weak if we sit a lot.
