Palpating Fibrosis and Easing Inflammation with Geoffrey Bove and Holly McMillan

This podcast with Whitney Lowe is a fantastic listen for therapists trying to describe what they do with their hands.

Understanding Nociplastic Pain: Insights from Dr. John Quintner That Can Change How We See Chronic Pain

Persistent pain that lingers long after injury or surgery, or appears ‘normal’ with imaging, often stems from nociplastic mechanisms, where the nervous system itself becomes sensitized. Drawing on the work of Dr. John Quintner and my decade-long collaboration with Dr. Geoffrey Bove in neurobiology research, we help patients move beyond outdated “trigger point” or “it’s all in your head” explanations. Through targeted manual therapy that addresses nerve irritation and reduces adhesion formation, many find real relief, improved mobility, and renewed hope. Your pain is real, biological, and understandable, and there are smarter, more effective ways forward.
