How This Chiropractor's Approach Help Powerlifters Gain Leverage
As the saying, attributable to Louis Pasteur goes, "Chance favors the prepared mind." A recently released article by Dr. Phillip Snell, a chiropractic physician in Portland, OR, relates how a chance clinical encounter with one of the strongest people in the world affected his career and life. (https://solutionssportsandspine.com/herniated-disc-specialist-dr-phillip-snell-reveals-his-origin-story-with-powerlifter-chris-duffin/) Powerlifter Chris Duffin trusted Snell to help him move past the recurrent injuries that had kept him from the top of the podium. In less than a year from that encounter, a healthy Duffin had clawed himself to the top of the heap in a journey that would awe those who knew his back story.
Dr. Snell recounts how his personal experience with his own lumbar disc herniation, subsequent study with the top herniated disc researchers, and full rehab of his injury made him known as the "Disc Whisperer". In those years before their meeting, Snell had studied directly with icons like Stuart McGill, PhD (https://www.backfitpro.com) and Pavel Kolar, PT, PhD (https://www.rehabps.com). That groundwork laid the foundation for Snell's FixYourOwnBack program (https://www.fixyourownback.com/courses/fix-your-own-back-online-course) and had established him as a subject matter expert as a herniated disc specialist whose non-surgical methods were sought in-person and online from people all over the world.
Little did Dr. Snell know, but those Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) courses would position him as the vector for a vastly different concept of how powerlifters would position their spines to manage herculean loads. Indeed, that DNS template, applied to the sport of powerlifting tilted the sport on its axis. Duffin leveraged that info into a behemoth, industry-leading company, Kabuki Strength Lab, and began sharing that information with other strength athletes around the world. Their recent release of the incredible educational platform, Kabuki EDU (https://eduplus.kabukistrength.com/catalog) houses both huge tomes and tidy pearls of information for lifters of all persuasions.
Dr. Snell laughingly recounts the improbable relationship with Duffin in another article recently released, Skinny Portland Chiropractor Says Deadlifts Heal Herniated Discs(https://solutionssportsandspine.com/sciatica-portland/).
