Floating bones sensation after Pain Free M.O.T immersion
Floating Bones & Shoulder Wisdom: A Pain Free M.O.T for Body and Breath
There are moments when the body feels like a cage. The shoulders clamp, the breath shortens, and every step feels heavier than it should. Most people call this ageing. Coach Dennis Bartram calls it the neglect of the buildup of strain, a concept that no one ever taught us how to release.
That’s why he created the Pain Free M.O.T. Borrowing a metaphor from the car world, it’s not about waiting until you break down; it’s about keeping your body roadworthy. Just as a mechanic checks brakes, suspension, and steering, Dennis guides you through your own system check: the atlas at the top of the spine, the sacrum at its base, and the talus at the ankle. When those compass points realign, the whole body remembers how to move freely.
In this one-day immersion, Dennis weaves hard science with lived wisdom. Shoulder mechanics, fascia flow, nervous system resets, and even the space for your organs to breathe again, all of it becomes practical, felt, and embodied. You don’t just learn about alignment. You leave with floating bones.
This is not therapy. This is not a theory. This is your Pain Free M.O.T.: a day to reclaim ease, balance, and poise.
💡 Posture Truth #1: Compression isn’t ageing, it’s un-checked mileage.
🔑 M.O.T Action Step: Take 10 minutes today to reset your atlas and sacrum. Notice how your breath deepens when alignment returns.
The Shoulder’s Gear Train: Unlocking the First Step of Your Pain Free M.O.T
Every movement tells a story. When you reach overhead, open a door, or lift your arm to wave, dozens of moving parts have to work in harmony. The shoulder is not a single joint; it’s a complex system, a gear train where the clavicle, scapula, ribs, and ligaments all mesh together. If one cog jams, the whole machine grinds to a halt with it.
This is why shoulder mechanics often hold the key to understanding the rest of the body. The clavicle, or collar bone, works like a crank. As the subclavius muscle engages, it rotates the clavicle, adding thirty extra degrees of motion to your arm. Without it, your range is cut short. The scapula, meanwhile, glides like a hinge on the ribcage. If it sticks, movement falters and strain spreads outward into the neck, back, and even the breath.
Ligaments, tiny cords of tension, are the stabilisers. From the coracohumeral to the glenohumeral, each guides motion in a specific direction, preventing the shoulder from collapsing under load. When they tighten unevenly, movement skews, and the body compensates elsewhere. That’s why shoulder restrictions often lead to hip, spine, or even digestive problems. The body is one system, not a stack of parts.
Coach Dennis Bartram teaches students to see these mechanics not as technical jargon, but as clues to alignment. A shoulder that won’t lift tells a story of fascia stiffened, sinews mis-trained, and nervous systems locked in “brace mode.” A shoulder that flows signals freedom, the ripple of balance spreading through every joint.
This is where the Pain Free M.O.T. begins. Just as a mechanic listens to an engine’s hum, Dennis listens to your movement. Each restriction is a diagnostic. Each release is a reset. By studying the shoulders, the first gears in the chain, you unlock freedom in the whole body.
Because the truth is simple: you don’t just carry stress in your shoulders, you carry your story there. And when the gears start moving smoothly again, the rest of life follows.
💡 Posture Truth #2: Shoulders don’t just carry stress, they carry your story.
🔑 M.O.T Action Step: Use the heel cradles tonight. Feel how releasing the base frees tension from the shoulders to the jaw.
Inside the One-Day Pain Free M.O.T. Experience
Most people envision a “body reset” as something clinical, such as charts, exercises, or lengthy lists of do’s and don’ts. However, the Pain Free M.O.T. with Coach Dennis Bartram is different. It’s an immersion, one day dedicated to discovering how effortless movement feels when your body is tuned the way it was designed.
Morning: The Evaluation Reading Your Body’s Story
The day begins not with treatment, but with awareness. Dennis studies how you stand, how you walk, and how your body carries itself. Decades of practice have trained his eye to see patterns others miss: the subtle tilt of the pelvis, the collapse of a shoulder, the forward drift of the head. These aren’t random quirks; they’re the imprints of how you’ve lived, worked, and compensated over time.
Your evaluation is filmed so you can see what Dennis sees. This isn’t about criticism; it’s about clarity. Many participants are shocked to watch themselves move, realising how much tension has become “normal.” That moment is the first reset of understanding that pain isn’t a result of ageing, but rather compression, and compression can be reversed.
Midday: The Compass Points, Atlas, Sacrum, Talus.
Every car’s M.O.T. checks critical systems, including brakes, suspension, and steering. In the body, Dennis focuses on three compass points that guide everything else the atlas (the bone beneath the skull), the sacrum (the sacred base of the spine), and the talus (the ankle’s floating bone).
When these are misaligned, strain ripples everywhere. Shoulders hunch, hips twist, knees grind, breath shortens. But when they’re reset, the nervous system receives a new message: ‘safe now.’ Muscles relax, organs expand into their allotted space, and balance is restored effortlessly.
Dennis uses both gentle coaching and the Spine Aligner Device to help you feel this reorientation. For many, it’s the first time in decades they’ve felt their body “switch off” the brace and float.
Afternoon: The Self-Maintenance Routine Your Personal Pain Free M.O.T
This isn’t a one-day wonder. Dennis believes true coaching means independence. In the afternoon session, he teaches you the daily Pain-Free M.O.T. routine, which consists of simple, repeatable steps you can do at home to maintain your alignment.
- Heel cradles reset your foundation.
- Sacrum support rebalances hips and spine.
- Neck float frees the atlas, allowing breath and nerves to reset.
It’s a shoebox-sized system with lifelong reach. Fifteen minutes a day is all it takes to maintain the lightness you discover in the immersion. Think of it as the difference between a car’s annual service and the quick checks you do before every journey. The one-day experience gives you the full reset; the routine keeps you roadworthy.
The Outcome: Floating Bones, Effortless Poise
By the end of your Pain Free M.O.T day, you don’t just understand alignment, you feel it. Shoulders no longer clamp. Hips no longer grind. Breath moves freely. Participants often describe it as if their bones are floating, as if gravity has shifted from enemy to ally.
And the best part? You take it with you. Armed with your video evaluation, your personal routine, and the device to guide you, you leave knowing how to maintain poise and freedom on your own.
That’s the genius of the system: not therapy that keeps you dependent, but coaching that hands you the keys.
💡 Posture Truth #3: Sinews hold memory longer than muscles.
🔑 M.O.T Action Step: Practice one arc-like movement slowly. Train your sinews to record flow, not stiffness.
The Science Behind the Pain Free M.O.T
The beauty of the Pain Free M.O.T. is that it feels almost magical, yet the science is straightforward. Dennis Bartram has spent over five decades bridging anatomy, martial movement, and therapeutic insight to refine what happens inside the body when alignment is restored.
Fascia The Body’s Web
Fascia is the connective tissue that wraps and links together every structure, including muscles, bones, and organs. When fascia stiffens due to stress or prolonged sitting, it restricts movement throughout the body. In your Pain Free M.O.T. alignment and gentle pressure coax fascia back into glide, freeing joints and muscles to move as one.
Sinews Memory in Motion
Your sinews, the long connective tissues of the body, carry the memory of your habits. Years of slouching or bracing write tension into them. The Pain Free M.O.T. retrains these sinews, helping your body relearn arcs of effortless movement instead of repeating stiff, defensive patterns.
Nervous System From Alarm to Ease
Misalignment constantly signals danger to your nervous system. Muscles tighten, digestion slows, breath shortens. That’s why compression feels like fatigue. But when the atlas, sacrum, and talus realign, the nervous system receives a new message: safe now. Muscles soften, organs expand, energy flows again.
Compass Points Your Internal MOT Checklist
The atlas, sacrum, and talus act like your car’s brakes, suspension, and steering. When those compass points are correct, everything above and below organises around them. When they’re off, strain spreads everywhere.
This is why a single Pain Free M.O.T. day creates such lasting change. It doesn’t patch symptoms, it resets the whole system, giving you bones that feel light, nerves that feel calm, and movement that feels ageless.
💡 Posture Truth #4: Balance doesn’t fade with age; it fades with neglect.
🔑 M.O.T Action Step: Anchor your sacrum daily. Allow your hips and knees to return to a natural position.
Who Benefits From a Pain Free M.O.T Floating Bones
The short answer: anyone with a body. But the power of the Pain Free M.O.T. shines most for those who carry years of compression, strain, or habits that quietly steal freedom of movement.
For the desk worker, it’s a rescue from the grind of screen life. Shoulders forward, neck craned, hips locked, hours at a computer gradually train the body into collapse. The Pain Free M.O.T. realigns those hidden distortions, undoing what your chair has been writing into your tissues for years.
For the retiree, it’s not about chasing youth; it’s about reclaiming confidence. Balance improves, falls become less likely, and upright poise returns. Instead of shrinking with age, you stand with grace.
For the performer or athlete, it’s a longevity secret. Fascia frees, sinews reset, and recovery accelerates. You get to keep doing what you love, without the setbacks of stiffness or strain.
And for anyone who refuses to accept that getting older equals getting stiffer, the Pain Free M.O.T. is living proof that decline isn’t inevitable. Alignment flips the switch from braced survival to floating freedom.
This isn’t just for those in pain. It’s for anyone who wants to live upright, breathe deeper, and move with ease. Because you don’t wait for a car to break down before its M.O.T. — and your body deserves the same respect.
💡 Posture Truth #5: Floating bones are not magic; they’re maintenance.
🔑 M.O.T Action Step: Commit to your daily Pain Free M.O.T routine. Treat it like brushing your teeth, a non-negotiable habit.
Pain Free M.O.T Floating Bones The Legacy and the Call
Every path has a lineage. For Dennis Bartram, it began when he watched his teacher, Masaaki Hatsumi, move with grace and agility well into his 90s. What he saw wasn’t just martial mastery; it was proof that age doesn’t have to mean decline. Movement, when aligned, can remain fluid for a lifetime.
Over fifty years of study, Dennis tested this truth across massage, osteopathy, fascia research, and martial practice. Each discipline added a piece to the puzzle, but the breakthrough came in uniting them. The result is the Pain Free M.O.T., a one-day immersion that distils decades of mastery into something you can feel, understand, and carry home.
This is not endless therapy. It’s not theory locked away in books. It’s a lived experience, a reset that empowers you to maintain alignment on your own. Dennis offers only a handful of these immersions by choice. They are rare, personal, and designed for those ready to step into a different way of living.
If you want to feel bones float, breath expand, and the weight of years lift, this is your invitation.
