Left side sciatica or right side shoulder pain?

from Unreal Results for Physical Therapists and Athletic Trainers · host Anna Hartman

Do you sometimes see a string of similar complaints from your patients, athletes, or clients? Seemingly everyone has left hamstring or sciatica-type pain or is complaining of tightness of the shoulder and neck, or complaints about the right hip feeling tight or painful. Not only are these common this time of year, but my assessment, the MovementREV LTAP (locator test assessment protocol), directs me to the liver, right kidney, and right bronchus. Often in the spring, I am directed to these locations in the body with other symptoms or complaints- foot pain, knee pain, and SI joint pain. Pain and limited mobility due to visceral and neural restrictions can be anywhere in the body. This is why while using the Visceral Referral Cheat Sheet can be helpful, the ability to use an assessment like the LTAP is imperative to know exactly where to direct treatment to, to have the best outcome. So why does the season of the year matter? Spring is associated with the liver and gallbladder organs in TCM (traditional Chinese medicine), but also it makes sense; in spring, the immune load increases often due to springtime hay fever and allergies. In this podcast episode, I share the seasonal connection with the liver and how it causes classical referral patterns like left-sided sciatica or right-sided shoulder pain. I also dive into a bit of the anatomy of the liver, the viscerosomatic reflexes, and how to use this to our advantage when picking treatment tools directed at supporting the function and mobility of the liver to help treat sciatica and shoulder pain. Resources mentioned in the podcast episode:DaVinci Rolling with Breathing: https://youtu.be/Ncyd-xfhxG4Phillip Beach: Muscles and Meridians: https://a.co/d/feqSAbFVisceral Referral Cheat Sheet: www.unrealresultspod.com Cups I like to use: https://a.co/d/69VFnzqMovementREV cupping technique: https://www.instagram.com/tv/B9hlrHnHARC/Video on the liver and portal vein: https://www.instagram.com/p/B4LGHRdnnfA/ Regen Session with liver-focused movement: https://www.movementrev.com/regen-sessions-store/p/m8h9qppvubi1ov5ftia0r8i2nc8rctMovementREV Swelling Reduction Protocol podcast episode: https://www.movementrev.com/podcast/seasion-1-episode-3-swelling-reduction-protocol =================================================Watch the podcast on YouTube and subscribe!Join the MovementREV email list to stay up to date on the Unreal Results Podcast and MovementREV education.
