It can be very distressing to have a fixed pain in the abdomen that feels like an internal organ pain and after all the tests, no one knows what to do about it.

ACNES should be known by everyone who treats pain.

I covered this in 2025 in my Sydney course. "Unlock the Mystery of Chronic Pain"

These are muscles you need to stay on top of even if they don't test weak yet. This is how we keep people from having hip issues in the future and they are muscles we need to treat when they do have hip pain. You'll see this dysfunction even after a hip replacement surgery. You can change the joint (hardware) but if the software (muscles) is still faulty, there will be pain.

We test the rotator cuff muscles for their internal/external rotation and abduction strength but they have a very important Always-On function too.

Just like the scapular stabilizers, the rotator cuff needs to dynamically stabilize so that other muscles like the deltoids and pectoralis muscles can have power.

Most acupuncturists can treat pain. But the pain comes back.

We need to stop obsessing about disc bulges and MRIs and start looking at the actual mechanical problem that is leading to pain.

Fix what's tight then strengthen what's inhibited and then retrain the movement pattern.

Janda already did the hard work and most are just ignoring it and treating the site of pain.

Most people over 50 have disc bulges and degeneration and are not in pain.

30% of people in their 20s have disc bulges and are not in pain.

Janda would say that the disc is being injured by postural issues due to muscle imbalances and also because of dysfunctional movement patterns caused by those Upper and Lower Crossed Syndromes.

Treating a disc bulge only gives temporary relief. The underlying sheering force caused by a short tight psoas or a forward head placement will start to injury adjacent discs and will perpetuate pain.

Fix the Function! Correct the Crossed Patterns and retrain the movement patterns for lasting relief of chronic pain.

Correction: I said insipid instead of insidious onset. 😂

I'm not diagnosing or treating anything and I'm not telling anyone what they should do or what they should tell their patients to do.

I'm sharing the research so that people can talk to their doctors about possible ways to reverse sarcopenia and fibrotic muscle and regain healthy fast-twitch muscle.
