Integrated Functional Performance - Jeff Powell

John didn't come to me because he wanted to get rid of back pain.
He came to me because he wanted to do something epic with his son.
His son was working toward Eagle Scout which meant a 100 mile backpacking trek through the mountains of northern New Mexico!
There was one problem.
John was in his late 50s.
-His back hurt.
-His knee hurt.
-His heel hurt.
And he was worried he'd slow everyone else down.
That bothered him more than the pain. 🙁
When we started looking more closely, something interesting showed up.
Simple testing suggested that irritation around his lumbar nerves was contributing to all three areas.
So instead of chasing his back...
Then his knee...
Then his heel...
We focused on calming the source that appeared to be driving the problem.
Over the next three months, John trained with confidence.
When the trip came, he didn't just make it.
He completed more than 100 miles over 10 days.
As a dad myself, that's the part I love.
Not because he finished a hike.
Because he didn't have to watch his son have that experience without him.
One thing I've learned is that people rarely come to me just because they want less pain.
They come because there's something they don't want pain to take away.
A trip.
A grandchild.
A favorite hobby.
A chance to keep doing the things that make life feel like life.
I'd love to hear from you.
What's something pain has made you think twice about doing?
PS: If you've read John's story and you’re thinking about something pain has been keeping you from, it might be worth finding out why you're stuck before deciding pain is just something you have to live with.
I can't help everyone, but when the problem is being driven by the kinds of disc and nerve issues I work with, the path forward is often much more clear than people expect.
If you're wondering whether your situation fits, send me a message.
I'm happy to help you think it through.
"If it's serious, you have to see someone in person." 🤦♂️
That belief keeps a lot of people trapped.
Christina Aprill Kamen believed it too.
She did the conventional physical therapy.
-She worked hard.
-She followed directions.
-She was still discouraged because her shoulder wasn't coming back.
Then we worked together remotely.
Now she's putting shirts on overhead again.
She's using her dominant arm again.
She's unpacking boxes.
She's getting her life back!
>>The difference wasn't the distance.
>>The difference was the system.
Your nervous system doesn't care whether I'm standing three feet away or talking to you through a screen.
*It responds to the quality of the assessment.
*It responds to the precision of the intervention.
---> When those are right, progress follows.
Listen to what Christina says at the end.
That's why I built this the way I did.
Appreciate the follows! :)

What if the source of pain isn't where you feel it?
In this video, I demonstrate a unique mapping process I've used and studied for decades that helps uncover hidden dysfunction in nerves, muscles, and connective tissues that often goes undetected.
The fascinating part?
Many people discover areas of dysfunction in places they never would have suspected.
Even more interesting, it is not uncommon to see meaningful changes during the testing process itself.
I've had severa; people experience dramatic differences in comfort for stubborn knees, hips, low back just this week and hundreds more over the years.
Less pain.
More movement.
Better function.
Sometimes in a matter of minutes.
If you've been dealing with stubborn sciatica, disc issues, neck pain, shoulder pain, knee pain, or recurring orthopedic problems and have wondered whether something important has been missed, this video may change the way you think about recovery.
