PATIENCE: the word that perfectly fits a chronic change in the Achilles tendon. Pre-seasons bring to our clinics many athletes with many kilometers of wear on their bodies, where chronic adaptations accumulate with more or less symptoms. The biggest problem is the rush to recover things that take time. There is still a very current tendency to pound on an injured tendon, poke at it, squeeze it, as if that were the cure. Often, it makes things worse… Slowly, because I’m in a hurry… And it’s not worth forcing yourself to play while injured.....

A Technique for the Menisci Bodyworkers are familiar with the meniscus, a C-shaped cartilage in the knee joint, that acts as a shock absorber and provides stability during movement. Meniscal injuries commonly occur during activities that involve twisting or direct impact to the knee. The meniscus can tear or become damaged, leading to symptoms like pain, swelling, stiffness, clicking or locking sensations, and limited range of motion. In this video demonstration, Erik demonstrates a technique for possible meniscus injury.....

What is Cultivating Stupidity — and Why Does It Matter in Manual Therapy “Cultivating stupidity” isn’t about being unintelligent — it’s about creating environments that reward shallow thinking and discourage critical analysis. In other words: when viral popularity replaces clinical reasoning, we all lose. 🔍 Definition: Cultivating stupidity is the reinforcement of surface-level beliefs, misinformation, or overconfidence — especially when they’re repeated without context, evidence, or challenge. Sound familiar? 🎯 In the world of manual therapy, this looks like: • Techniques shown with no rationale • Claims like “this thrust resets your nervous system” • Instructors teaching certainty, not inquiry • Echo chambers where dissent is seen as disrespect And social media makes it worse. The algorithm doesn’t care if it’s clinically sound — it just wants clicks. ⚠️ Why is this dangerous? Because it shifts our profession away from evidence and integrity, and towards performance and illusion. And when we stop questioning, we stop improving. At OMT Training, we’ve published 6 books, produced peer-reviewed research, and educated thousands of clinicians — and we always come back to the same principle: ✅ Think deeper, not louder. ✅ Teach with context, not just confidence. ✅ Grow the profession — don’t cheapen it. 💬 Let us know below: Have you seen this trend online? How do you stay grounded?

If you’re dealing with headaches, dizziness, or even brain fog, your Suboccipital muscles might be the culprit. These small but mighty muscles sit at the base of your skull and play a key role in head and neck movement, posture, and even blood flow to the brain. 💥 When they get tight from poor posture, clenching, or too much screen time, they can compress the greater occipital nerve and restrict blood flow in the vertebral artery. That can trigger tension headaches, dizziness, visual issues, and even jaw tension. Today’s video shows you a unilateral suboccipital stretch—a great way to target one side at a time, especially if your symptoms feel worse on one side of your head, jaw, or neck. Releasing these muscles can decompress nerves, improve circulation, and restore proper head positioning. 💡 If you’ve tried everything for your symptoms and still feel stuck, this might be the piece you’ve been missing.
