Dear therapist, you’re not a strength coach.

Nov 17, 2019

(or a personal trainer) When I write these types of blogs, they’re mostly in reflection because of mistakes I made earlier in my career. I feel no need to be embarrassed by most of these mistakes, although I do regret some of them. Most were faults of passion with few direct casualties. But, at this […]

The Hard-Ass Guide to Getting and Succeeding at a Great Chiropractic Associate Job

May 28, 2019

Every year I get to review about 20-50 applications for associate positions.

Artistically informed, tactically focused.

Dec 29, 2018

After my last blog on here a few days ago, many highly intelligent people (and a few nincompoops having intelligent moments) have pointed out to me that the delineation between scientist and artist is a false dichotomy. I agree. As per usual on this blog, this is my thinking-out-loud space. So, out-loudly, here is what […]

Ignore Everybody

Dec 25, 2018

AKA When your wife calls you names. There have been only two books in my entire life of which I have purchased multiple copies. The first of these books will come as no surprise; I have gifted this book to so many people over the years that I probably should have been asking for a […]

(How) Does Voodoo Floss work?

Dec 21, 2018

REPOSTED FROM MY OLD, NOW-DEFUNCT WEBSITE. THIS ARTICLE WAS FIRST PUBLISHED IN 2012. ***Disclaimer: I am not a Voodoo Expert (chiropractor, yes, but that’s another story).
