Episodes

Purple: Week 7

Saturday Feb 28, 2026

Saturday Feb 28, 2026

In today's episode, we will finish our discussion of the Vertebral Subluxation Complex and how we can think about it scientifically. We will conclude the chapter by discussing different proposed mechanisms for how the VSC can contribute to lower health and adaptability. 

Monday Feb 23, 2026

In today's episode, we will begin discussing Lumbar Corrections.  We will do this by discussing how we make these corrections on the pelvic bench.  Next week, we will discuss the same corrections on the knee chest table.  

Tuesday Feb 17, 2026

In today's episode, we will discuss sacral corrections at the lumbosacral joint (base posterior sacrum).  We will also introduce the knee chest table and its proper application. 

Purple: Week 6

Tuesday Feb 17, 2026

Tuesday Feb 17, 2026

In today's episode we will continue to discuss the vertebral subluxation complex.  We will look at the biomechanics around this lesion and how it has effects that go beyond biomechanics. 

Week 30: Sacrum Correction

Monday Feb 09, 2026

Monday Feb 09, 2026

In today's episode, we will begin discussing the correction of the sacrum.  This includes both involved side up and involved side down.  It is important to consider the movement of the joint in order to create the best correction possible.

Monday Feb 09, 2026

In today's episode, we will complete the chapter of biomechanics and begin Chapter 3 on Subluxation.  This is an important transition to understand how biomechanics influences subluxation, and how subluxation influences biomechanics. 

Tuesday Feb 03, 2026

In today's episode, we look at the compound listings as well as both push and pull moves. 

Purple: Week 4: Biomechanics

Tuesday Jan 27, 2026

Tuesday Jan 27, 2026

In today's episode, we will discuss the biomechanics of locomotion as well as coupled motion and how this will improve out understanding of what we are seeing on an X-ray. 

Tuesday Jan 27, 2026

In today's episode, we will begin discussing ilium corrections beginning with the EX pull move.  This move is difficult, but it gives us all of the necessary components to properly perform any of the adjustments on the pelvic bench. 

Purple: wk3

Thursday Jan 22, 2026

Thursday Jan 22, 2026

In today's episode, we continue to build a biomechanical base by looking at the physical components of the joint.
