Comments Off on Visiting the North American Spine Society’s annual conference

On October 17th I visited the North American Spine Society’s (NASS) annual conference. I attended the one day course for “State-of-the-Art in Motor Control and Low Back Pain.” It was quite the lineup of speakers: The lineup included two people I feel are part of the upper echelon of all this, Linda van Dillen and […]

8 Weeks Towards Correcting Your Anterior Pelvic Tilt

A short muscle doesn’t equal a strong muscle

I recently visited Stanford University’s School of Medicine, specifically their Division of Clinical Anatomy.

I have a good deal of anatomy background, I talk about it all the time, I took your standard Anatomy and Physiology […]

Talking about facet joints

January 15, 2014

From an upcoming, much longer, post detailing my visit to Stanford University’s Clinical Anatomy Lab, where I worked with cadavers: I, along with many others, talk about how certain parts of the spine respond to certain types of motion. Most prominently talked about is the lower back not responding well to rotation. I’ve seen research […]
