Well done John. I'm an osteopath from Belgium. There are loads of bad therapists on the internet, harming the reputation of our profession. But your videos and your techniques are clean. You're an inspiration to many of us. All the best to you

Awesome explanation. I have been struggling with my thoracic cage, ribs, even collar bone and false ribs for some time. I have seen my family chiropractor and he usually does this in similar height dynamic also. Unfortunately i can't see him even so not often as i need. Is there anyway for someone pretty self aware of body to achieve the goal unassisted? I have a leg length discrepancy of 25mm waiting for corrective surgery over a year anything is appreciated. Even vague. My mid thoracic and sternoclavicular junction bind up frequently. Either way great video

Hi John, your videos are excellent. Do you still treat private clients? I have an l4. L5, SI injury with hip labral tears and I can’t seem to find a physio with as much knowledge as you
