Some thoughts about this past week in New York
To all those I had the honor of treating or guiding through my workshop at the Open Center in Manhattan, I say thank you. Thank you for having the courage to take a different path then the one provided by the entire existing medical establishment in their false presentation that pain in most cases is […]
Bottomline Health article about knee pain I wrote that appeared in the August addition of the newsletter.
Here is a link to a nice article I wrote for Bottomline Health, the largest subscription newsletter in the United States. The article is about how to prevent surgery for knee pain and discusses how to properly interpret physical findings to help determine whether your knee pain is from muscular causes or structural causes. If […]

Come to the Open Center in Manhattan on August 21 for my one day workshop to understand how to resolve your pain!
The time is quickly approaching for my first full day workshop at the Open Center in Manhattan on Sunday, August 21st. This is a very exciting opportunity to fully entrench you in the Yass method theory and application. I will be discussing the state of affairs of the existing model of diagnosing and treating pain.

The additional benefits of strength training beyond resolving pain
There is no question that the primary reason I promote the value of exercise, specifically strength training is to resolve the cause of peoples’ symptoms and allow them to return to the quality of life they deserve. The fact is that there are systemic benefits that most people are not aware of and upon finding […]
How much time will it take for you to realize you are going down the wrong path?
Recently, I have begun treating patients who have been suffering with their pain for years. The worst case was a woman who suffered from gluteal region pain for over 40 years after getting a hip replacement she never needed but was told would resolve the gluteal region pain. It turned out that she has a […]
BURNING IS NOT NEUROLOGICAL; IN MOST CASES ITS MUSCULAR- HERE’S WHY!
I am confronted by people who explain to me that they are experiencing a burning sensation as the symptom they are concerned about. Inevitably they tell me they think it is a neurological symptom. Why? Because a diagnostic test found some type of structural variation at the spine namely stenosis, a herniated disc or a […]
Trigger finger: A true representation of the failure of understanding of the existing medical model to diagnose correctly
Trigger figure is certainly not one of the more common diagnoses I have had to face over my career but it truly exemplifies why the existing model fails at addressing pain in most cases throughout the body. For most people who have received treatment for it, they know what I am talking about. In the […]
Reduction in symptoms without a return to full function is not a true measure of success!
I am often confronted by people who say that they just had a surgical procedure and that their pain has been reduced and therefore the surgical procedure can be considered a success. I simply ask can you do everything you could before the symptoms began and before the surgical procedure? They usually look at me […]
3 Keys to exercising correctly to resolve your pain
I am sometimes told that there are practitioners that do a similar style of treatment as I do because they incorporate exercise and using resistance bands or tubes. I feel that this does not present a complete understanding of what has to be known about exercise and the importance of providing the correct resistance to […]
