Irene Lyon2019-04-30T13:06:21-07:00

If some higher God-like source were to tell me I could only teach one movement lesson for the rest of my life it would be this: Teaching people how to move from standing on two feet to lying on the ground completely flat on their backs and then to take [...]

Why I’m Sore. The Good Kind Of Sore.

Irene Lyon2019-04-30T13:06:21-07:00

I will admit that this weekend my body has been sore. The good kind of sore. Here's Why I did an intense series of "leg exercises" the other day at the local YMCA. I put leg exercises in quotations because it wasn't a generic squat or machine-driven leg exercise that [...]

If you had to run for your life…could you?

Irene Lyon2017-01-23T12:10:28-08:00

Not too long ago a good friend of mine said to me, "You know, if I had to run for my life, I'd die." At the time she was struggling with knee and hip issues that were causing a lot of pain. The thought of having to run for a [...]

What saving your knee joints and saving the world have in common.

Irene Lyon2019-04-30T13:06:21-07:00

It might seem like a pretty big stretch to imagine how these two things relate to one another. But they do. I was working with a person the other day who has not been able to straighten their knee joint for a few years leaving it difficult to walk without [...]

The 3 Top Reasons Back Pain NEVER Goes Away – Reason #1 “Being Stuck In A Functional Freeze Pattern”

Irene Lyon2019-04-30T13:06:21-07:00

The 3 Top Reasons Back Pain NEVER Goes Away – Reason #2 “Posture Rules And Trying To Be Straight!”

Irene Lyon2019-04-30T13:06:21-07:00

Postural rules are INSIDIOUS in our western culture and are killing us slowly. I believe we have to put an end to them. It goes without saying that most people can name certain posture rules better than the capitals of most American States or Canadian Provinces. Without fail, when I [...]

Irene Lyon2015-07-20T16:27:30-07:00

Reason # 3 - Physical rehabilitation that does more harm than help. Usually when we feel pain in our back, more often than not, it is the muscle(s) that scream out to us. The muscles feel tight, sore, tender and many times, all of the above. The muscles gets blamed [...]

The 3 Top Reasons Back Pain NEVER Goes Away – Reason #3Irene Lyon2015-07-20T16:27:30-07:00

I’m here to bring a ginormous spotlight to an area of health and healing that’s being overlooked: unresolved and untreated trauma (of all kinds!).

Before you say, “I wasn’t traumatized”, please, please stick around because we, the scientific and clinical practice community, are finally redefining what a traumatic experience and adversity really is and it is not what most people think! I am here to give everybody access to education that is NOT dumbed down and assumes the reader wants the truth – even if it means getting into the nitty-gritty and feeling some feels. This means my articles (and videos that often accompany them) are more on the in-depth side and require you to think a bit more. In some cases a lot more. I hope you take some time to sink your curiosity into all that is on this page.

Much Love

IreneLyon
