The Daily Pain Free M.O.T. Routine

From the Master’s Legacy to Your Pain Free M.O.T

Pain-Free M.O.T. Daily Routine for Alignment and Poise Ability

When you think of a motor vehicle, M.O.T.  Dennis has the same overall for your body’s M.O.T. (Movement Oriented Therapy), you probably picture your car. Once a year, it gets checked, tuned, and tested, not because it’s broken, but to make sure it runs safely and smoothly for the road ahead.

Your body deserves the same. Not a panic visit to the doctor when something snaps. Not waiting until the pain is unbearable. What you need is a Pain Free M.O.T., a regular reset that keeps your system aligned, balanced, and effortless.

This is the vision Dennis Bartram carried through fifty years of martial mastery and medical practice. When he trained under Japan’s Masaaki Hatsumi, he saw a man in his 90s moving with grace that defied age. Not stiff. Not braced. Not “old.” Just fluid, precise, and free.

Dennis realised the secret wasn’t about fighting techniques, it was about the quality of movement. What Hatsumi embodied was motor dory: effortless alignment, motion that camouflaged age itself. Dennis spent decades translating that mastery into a self-help system ordinary people could use.

The result? A simple, four-part device that takes the principles of motor dory and turns them into a daily practice. You don’t need decades of training or a black belt. You need 15 minutes, a place to lie down, and the willingness to give your body what it’s been waiting for: a Pain Free M.O.T.

With two heel cradles, one sacrum support, and a neck float, the Spine Aligner Device reorients your body’s three compass points: the atlas, the sacrum, and the talus. These are the anchors of balance. When they’re aligned, everything else falls into place.

This isn’t therapy. This isn’t stretching. It’s remembering. A shoebox-sized tool that teaches your body how to feel 20 years lighter, every single day.

Your Pain Free M.O.T. isn’t a once-a-year event. It’s a daily ritual the simplest way to keep yourself moving freely, safely, and gracefully for the road ahead.

Four Parts. One Pain Free M.O.T.

Every great system is simple when viewed clearly. That’s what Dennis Bartram, movement coach, martial master, and creator of the Spine Aligner Device, wanted for people. A way to reset their body daily, without clinics, without endless appointments, and without relying on someone else to “fix” them.

The result was a design so straightforward it fits in a shoebox: four parts, one ritual.

• Two heel cradles. These reset your foundation. When your heels are supported in a neutral position, your ankles and knees stop compensating. The talus bone, the “floating compass” of your ankle, begins to orient itself back into balance.
• One sacrum supports. The sacrum is called the sacred bone for a reason. It’s the base of your spine, the pivot for your hips, and the seat of your body’s power. When the sacrum floats freely instead of tilting under pressure, the whole spine organises around it.
• One neck float. The atlas bone at the top of the spine is your head’s compass. If it tips forward (as it does with phone and screen posture), your whole body collapses in compensation. Resting the neck in neutral allows the atlas to reset, giving the nervous system the signal: ‘You are safe; release now.’

That’s the genius of the design. Instead of trying to force muscles to behave, the device quietly reorients your three compass points: atlas, sacrum, and talus. In just a few minutes, the body regains its natural poise.

Think of it as the Pain Free M.O.T. for your body’s frame. Just like a mechanic doesn’t rebuild the whole car but checks the key parts that affect everything else, the device works on the places that govern your entire alignment.

And because Dennis is a coach at heart, he designed it to empower you. No dependency. No endless treatments. Just you, learning to maintain your own movement health with a tool that keeps you honest and keeps you free.

A shoebox-sized coach you can use every day.

Pain Free M.O.T: What Happens Inside When You Align

A car M.O.T. doesn’t just check the outside polish; it looks under the hood, where the real systems live. Your Pain Free M.O.T. routine works the same way. The device may look simple, but what happens inside your body when you align is profound.

Fascia Softens and Slides

Fascia is the body’s full-body wetsuit. When it’s tight, it squeezes movement out of you. When it glides, you feel light again. A short daily session on the device cues fascia to soften. Each day, a little more glide returns.

Sinews Relearn Flow

Your sinews are like grooves in a record; they play back the movements you’ve repeated for years. Slouch, and they record slouch. Brace, and they hold brace. The Pain Free M.O.T. routine resets those grooves, teaching sinews to flow in long arcs again.

Nervous System Calms

Every misalignment whispers danger to your nervous system. Muscles tighten. Breath shortens. Digestion slows. But when the atlas, sacrum, and talus reorient, the message flips: safe now. Your nervous system releases, giving you more energy for living, not bracing.

Organs and Breath Expand

Alignment isn’t cosmetic. It gives space back to your organs. Your lungs inflate fully. Your intestines untwist. Blood flows with less resistance. These are the invisible benefits of your daily Pain Free M.O.T., not just less pain, but a body that works the way it’s meant to.

This is why Dennis refers to it as Movement-Oriented Training. You don’t just lie there. You learn to feel what effortless movement is. Over time, those feelings stick. You start to notice bones floating, breath deepening, balance returning, not once in a while, but every day.

That’s the promise of the Pain Free M.O.T. routine. A few minutes, simple parts, daily practice. The inside systems reset, and the outside life feels free again.
