What if you could walk again just two days after a serious knee injury?
In Part 1 of this powerful conversation, I sit down with Dr. Adam Gavine, a sports chiropractor with a passion for real, lasting healing. We met at a conference where my wife Margaret could barely walk after a patella injury. Adam confidently said she’d be walking in 48 hours. He was right. And I knew I had to get him on the show.
Adam shares how his personal story as a decathlete led him into the healing arts, how he blends wisdom with experience, and why movement is medicine. This isn’t about managing symptoms. It’s about treating the root. You’ll learn what makes a practitioner effective, why the body forgets how to move, and how we can remind it to heal.
This episode was so rich, we split it into two parts.
Key Takeaways
Wisdom over Modality – Healing isn’t about titles like chiro or physio, it’s about the skill and wisdom of the practitioner.
The 2-Day Recovery – After months of failed treatment, one correct diagnosis helped Adam run again in days.
Movement Is Medicine – Daily spinal hygiene and tailored movement patterns prevent injury and restore vitality.
The Body Forgets – After injury or immobility, your body must relearn how to move through specific, customized patterns.
Start Where You Are – Whether 93 years old or just off the couch, functional movement must match your current capacity.
Break the Glue – Fascial adhesions from inactivity can’t be stretched away. They must be released with precision work.
