Welcome to Episode 2 of our Understanding Body Pain trilogy, where we explore how the lower body communicates through pain—and how Touch for Health and BioEnergetic Wellness can help you uncover the real root causes.
In this episode, Dr. Michelle Greenwell is joined by Denise Cambiotti, HCD CIH BioEW, of www.muscletuners.ca and Kate Montgomery, HHP, ND as they guide you through the interconnected world of muscles, meridians, reflexes, tendons, ligaments, fascia, and posture. Pain rarely appears where it begins—plantar fasciitis, knee pain, hip tension, or ankle instability often stem from hidden imbalances that biofeedback can reveal.
We begin by standing together and noticing the 9 points on the feet—a simple but powerful checkpoint for body alignment. Throughout the episode, you’ll learn how the lower body compensates, how misalignment builds over time, and how muscle monitoring helps identify the true priority for healing.
Topics We Explore:
✨ How the lower-body meridians (including Bladder & Kidney) relate to muscle function
✨ The role of gait patterns and how walking reveals hidden imbalances
✨ How calf and foot tension are linked (including the deeper origin of plantar fasciitis)
✨ Hip misalignment and its downstream effects on knees, ankles, and feet
✨ Muscle monitoring for uncovering priority issues
✨ Stories from clinical practice and athletic performance
✨ Simple tools you can use today to restore balance
