“Neck Pain & Headaches” Workshop (Full Video Replay + Worksheet)
On 4/22/21, I hosted a live “Neck Pain & Headaches” Workshop via Zoom, where I covered a wide range of information in detail.
The two main focuses of the workshop were as follows:
First, helping people understand how to figure out the root cause of their neck pain and headaches.
Second, once we know the cause of the pain, we focused our attention on understanding the best treatment options to get rid of the pain for good.
Check out the full video replay on this blog…

Tips for Getting the Best Sleep During Pregnancy
You and your partner are expecting a little one… congratulations! Knowing that you’ll be bringing life into the world truly is a blessing; you’re probably counting the days until you meet the newest member of the family, right? Of course you are! But, then again… you’re also desperately counting sheep…

How Poor Sleep Might be Aggravating your Back Pain
Back pain is an elusive beast… it can strike at any moment and can often leave us feeling debilitated for weeks, months, or even years if nothing is done about it. In fact, back pain is so widespread it’s now considered one of the most common issues around the globe. What’s truly interesting is that, while so many people suffer from back pain in one form or another, no pain is similar – how about that?

Rotator Cuff Strength Progression (for “Tendinosis” and Shoulder Pain)
In several previous blog posts and videos about shoulder pain and rotator cuff issues (especially rotator cuff “tendinosis”), I’ve talked about how to heal the rotator cuff with things like eccentric strengthening.
However, I’ve never explained how to progress to eccentric strengthening while dealing with shoulder pain, and I get a lot of questions on my YouTube videos about how to strengthen the rotator cuff without causing addition pain.
In this video, I’ll explain that strength progression, which I break down into 3 stages.

How to Diagnose & Treat Horizontal Canal Vertigo (BPPV)
Horizontal canal BPPV can be much more difficult to diagnose and treat than posterior canal BPPV, and it’s also much less common (which is great!).
If you think you have horizontal canal BPPV, which is characterized by horizontal “nystagmus”, your first step in getting rid of the vertigo is to figure out 2 things: what side is affected (left or right) and if you’re dealing with particles floating in the canal (canalithiasis) or particles stuck to the cupula (cupulolithiasis).
This sounds confusing, I know, but I’ll explain everything in the first video below!
In the second video, I’ll then explain how to treat horizontal canal BPPV using the Gufoni Maneuver.
