She walked in with a cane. Four weeks later, she didn’t need it. I wish I could tell you I prescribed the perfect exercise sequence. That I found the right stretch, the right cue, the right progression. I didn’t. She stood near horses. She breathed. Her nervous system borrowed something it hadn’t been able to find on its own. What I watched happen in that paddock took me years to understand — not because the research wasn’t there, but because I wasn’t asking the right question yet. The question wasn’t what is wrong with her movement. It was what does movement actually require — and what has been missing all along. I’ve been sitting with that question for a long time. Note No. 4 is where I put it to paper. More coming this week! Want early access to Note 4? Comment “notes” and sign up. This will give you early access to all notes as well as access to past research notes.
