Episode 225
Wednesday, 30 September, 2026
Hosts: Carolyn McMakin, MA, DC & Kim Pittis, LCSP (PHYS), MT A free guide to FSM training: https://frequencyspecific.com/guide Dr. Carol and Kim Pittis discuss how strong history-taking and a thorough physical exam should guide care, emphasizing that clinicians should "listen to tissue," use language that reassures patients, and recognize that imaging often doesn't match symptoms. They compare small vs. large hands-on FSM practicums, the value of rotating tables to feel different bodies, and how experienced clinicians must unlearn forceful habits. They highlight practical concepts like treating adhesions before abdominal work, slowing palpation, and understanding cervical mechanics (including C2-3 facet "headband" headaches). They answer questions on a teen with CHARGE-related acquired clubfoot/spasticity and an older patient with EDS and C1-2 fusion, suggesting brain/spinal drivers and targeted frequencies. They also discuss tendon rehab, post-op protocols, and building patient hope and trust. 00:00 Podcast Preview 01:05 FSM Podcast Intro 01:31 Small Class Benefits 03:29 Rotate Tables Practice 05:49 Unlearning Muscle Memory 06:54 Ask Permission First 08:10 Say What They Need 10:05 Imaging Anxiety Spiral 11:30 Decoding Blood Work 14:21 Humility Builds Trust 17:05 Athlete Fear And Hope 21:45 Rename Protocols Words 24:43 Slow Palpation Fascia 28:05 Supine Cervical Skills 30:24 Why Suboccipitals Tighten 32:11 Ask Better Questions 33:46 Eccentric Tendon Loading 35:10 FSM for Exercise Recovery 36:10 Clubfoot Case Q&A 37:44 Working With Braces 40:16 Gene Targets and Spasticity 46:02 EDS Headband Headache 50:59 Squirrel Brain Clinical Pivoting 53:31 Joint Replacement Protocols 57:44 Wrap Up and Disclaimers
