Train The Brain Not The Pain
14 episodes - English - Latest episode: about 4 years ago -Better Body Dynamics is here to educate massage therapist and the public in pain assessments, manual therapy techniques, and corrective exercises to restore mobility and motor control.New episodes monthly. We will discuss news articles, biomechanics and human motion on a muscular and neuro level. We will cover compensations due to pain, and and how to understand what could have caused the pain in the beginning.These podcast will also be on our website betterbodydynamics.com For upcoming CE classes for massage therapist or personal trainers visit us on betterbodydynamics.com Be sure to follow us on Facebook and Instagram.
