| 6/27/26 | My Step-By-Step Guide to Assessing and Treating Low Back Pain | It's been a few years since I shared my protocol for treating low back pain. This is a much more detailed step-by-step of how I first assess by talking to the patient, then palpation, then treating, then re-assessing, then treating trigger points and re-assessing.

| 1/17/26 | ACNES - This Cutaneous Nerve Entrapment Often Gets Missed By MDs | 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" https://richardhazel.podia.com/peripheral-nerve-entrapments | 14m 45s | ||||||
| 1/11/26 | Key Muscles for Hip Joint Centration | 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. Online Courses: https://richardhazel.podia.com | 11m 40s | ||||||
| 12/27/25 | The Always-On Function of the Rotator Cuff Muscles | 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.

| 12/14/25 | Treating Pain is a Failing Strategy - Fix the Movement Pattern! | 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.

| 12/6/25 | Functional vs Structural - The Genius of Vladimir Janda for Treating Chronic 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. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4464797/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3921966/ BLACKFRIDAY20 at Checkout (look for the link to click) for 20% off all Courses and Bundles of Courses on my Podia site.

| 11/29/25 | Dry Needling College Athletes for Patellar Tendon and Achilles Pain | Sometimes Dry Needling is the best and fastest way to get full function back and to relieve pain.

| 11/15/25 | Unexpected Result While Treating Post-Stroke Symptoms 20 years Later | This was a little mind-blowing to see this week. I was treating someone who had a stroke 20 years ago and then this happened! HINT: There was a musculocutaneous nerve entrapment I wasn't expecting to see.

| 11/8/25 | Why We Shouldn't Trust a 5/5 MMT on an Athlete (And what we should do instead) | The 0-5 scale on Manual Muscle Tests was created in 1915 to find neuromuscular issues in paretic patients (like people with polio). The MMT should not be trusted for Sports Optimization and Injury Prevention in Athletes. Here's what the research says. (Pro tip: The MMT is more of a test of the strength of the examiner, than of the athlete) Online Courses (that never expire) https://richardhazel.podia.com | 20m 07s | ||||||
| 11/1/25 | Pain above the Knee is Very Common for Athletes - And This is What Resolves It | I rarely see pain above the knee on my average patients, but I see it very often on athletes, especially jumping sports. Here's what I've found to work and what I think is the underlying cause. Online Courses: https://richardhazel.podia.com | 14m 34s | ||||||
