“Effective pain relief follows movement that is analgesic for only one good reason-it corrects the problem. This movement is instinctive, effortless and present as long as life endures. The best kind of manual care promotes that motion, and I can teach you how to do that.”

In 2004 I served as the Prestige Day Speaker for the physical therapy program at Cleveland State University. Here's a video link for the 16 minute presentation I did at the banquet that evening. You'll find the text for that speech here.
