For Episode 415 we have guest Bill Parravano. Bill is "The Knee Pain Guru". He has over 25 years of martial art and bodywork experience understanding movement and tensions patterns that lead to physical pain. Bill believes the nervous system holds the keys to the body's healing. It bridges gaps between what we currently know and the infinite number of possibilities for the body to heal in the realm of what we don't know. This combination creates the shortest distance between a life riddled with pain to a high quality fully expressed physical life.
