And through that process, I became fascinated by the human system and the complexity of what pain is and what it means. We had increased his range of motion by 20+ degrees, which is huge considering the time frame. I think of a woman who had several cervical fusions with severe range of motion limitation and pain. The work is about retraining that system — applying directional force, loading the tissue just below its threshold of tolerance. My role is to guide that process so you can restore balance and keep moving without breaking down.
