In this episode of the IN THE MIND OF PODCAST, Rob Shapiro interviews Joseph Schwartz, a body worker with over 30 years of experience, as they discuss his journey and influences in the field of movement and physical therapy. They delve into the development of Dynamic Neuromuscular Assessment (DNA), which aims to make movement more tangible and objective by measuring efficiency and effectiveness. They emphasize the importance of observing movement integration and identify coping strategies and compensation patterns that may not be sustainable or efficient. The speaker also discusses their approach to addressing medial knee pain from an integrated perspective, considering ligaments, joint capsules, and proprioceptive receptors. They highlight the use of therapy localization to understand the underlying causes of pain and strain, emphasizing the role of the nervous system in assessing appropriateness. Lastly, they talk about their current work in developing movement programs, such as Fabulous Feet and Spiral Arm Drive, which focus on restoring foot and ankle mobility and integrating scapular mobility and core stability in arm drive, respectively.

Joseph Schwartz is a therapist, educator, and author who specializes in Dynamic Neuromuscular Assessment™ (DNA™), a system that uses movement as a benchmark for evaluating the response of the nervous system. He has over four decades of experience in the field of Somatics, which is the integration of mind, body, and spirit. He is the creator of The 5 Primary Kinetic Chains kinesiology charts, which are used as a framework for DNA™. He teaches DNA™ seminars around the world, helping other therapists to optimize their assessment and intervention strategies while being congruent with the interdependent triad of health and vitality.
