How A Foot Fix Ended A Decade Of Back Pain
- Ron described a sudden back injury while lifting boxes that began a decade of chronic pain and repeated treatments.
- A few simple foot-focused exercises from Gary relieved his back pain almost immediately and changed his life.
Flow Motion Model Links Every Joint
- Gary introduced the Flow Motion Model describing how every joint moves in three dimensions and sequences during gait.
- Mapping these sequenced shapes reveals how foot, knee, hip, pelvis and spine interact to produce movement or pain.
Local Pain Often Hides A Distal Cause
- Gary argued that persistent local treatment fails when the painful region isn't the root cause.
- Limited foot movement can cascade up the chain to restrict pelvis and spine, producing pain elsewhere.
