Dooley Noted: 7/23/2015 This morning, I treated one of my patients with chiropractic and rehab techniques. He happens to be a medical malpractice lawyer here in New York City. I asked him how many cases ofchiropractic malpractice he has seen over the course of his career. He said, “Not a single one in 15 years.” He noted, without my prompting, that he worked for an enormous firm. He added, “We just don’t see it.” He’s … Read more
Dooley Noted: 7/14/15 I know you’re having trouble. You wouldn’t come to me if you could handle this alone. Look. You are worrying about the future. You are haunted by the past. Look. You’ve tried everything you know to do. You’re at your last resort. Look. You need to go over to a mirror. Do it now. Look. You’ve struggled before. You’ll … Read more
Dooley Noted: 7/21/2015 Due to the fact I have a bit of pes planus, or flat feet, my entire life people have been telling me that I over-pronate my feet. Since I know a lot more about pronation these days, I can tell you that nothing could be farther from the truth. Yesterday, I found myself wearing a pair of cute little flat shoes. Feeling my wide foot crushed by the shoe’s … Read more
Dooley Noted: 7/20/2015 This morning, I walked over to my hotel window. I watched as Niagara Falls sprayed its mist and crashed its waters 30 stories below me. I was overcome with gratitude for some of my life’s current choices. I had just completed an amazing weekend, introducing our anatomy course in Canada. We had formed a seminar on our own terms, and we worked night and day to make sure that it was good … Read more
Dooley Noted: 7/19/2015 This weekend, I had the honor of helping teach Immaculate Dissection I: Core Concepts for the first time ever in Canada. As we discussed the anatomy of the core muscles, I found myself answering thought-provoking questions from trainers, yoga instructors, and manual therapists. As we performed challenging palpations, I found myself learning more and more connections. That’s the secret about teaching. When you’re responsible to help others, your own understanding is solidified. … Read more

Dooley Noted: 7/17/2015 I don’t like to train away from Catalyst SPORT. At CS, we created an environment of motivation to achieve the movement trifecta of mobility, stability, and strength. I am surrounded daily by people who remind me of where I need to improve. It’s the most motivating and satisfying environment I have ever experienced. But today,. I am out of town. So, I trained at a commercial gym. Not surrounded by my constant … Read more
Dooley Noted: 7/17/2015 Seldom in life do we get a chance to relive an event. I recently had this opportunity. Déjà Vu ran quickly through the confines of my mind, digging up memories I worked unknowingly to bury. I realized my first attempt was not accepted by universal law. So, history repeated itself. And I made sure I learned from my mistakes. This time – I was granted a do-over. … Read more
Dooley Noted: 7/14/2015 Why You Should Encourage Young Entrepreneurs I grew up in a family made by two hard-working factory workers. They worked long hours. And they did not love the actual work. They loved the fruits of their work. Being an old soul, as I was often called, I picked up on their lackluster feelings about their jobs. I started calculating the hours they spent per day working, compared to the hours they spent … Read more
Dooley Noted: 7/13/2015 This past weekend, I had the honor of lead instructing NKT II in North Carolina. We discussed challenging assessments, like breathing and gait mechanisms. The brilliant practitioners had the same problems with these assessments as I had in the beginning. Watching biomechanics can be like looking at a Magic Eye poster, when everyone sees the object but you. The students were uncomfortable at first. But they … Read more
