Media
Richard Aceves has spent nearly two decades working with movement, pain, breath, and nervous system regulation — in gyms, seminars, retreats, and coaching education. The interviews and conversations below are where that work gets explained out loud: how the body is assessed, why pain is treated as information, and what changes when coaching goes past the physical.

Watch the interview ->Owned media
A recurring conversation between Richard and Dr. Ed about movement, proactive health, and the questions that keep coming up in real coaching practice. Every episode is on Buzzsprout, and the same feed plays on Apple Podcasts.
Movement as a whole system
The body as an ecosystem connected through torque chains, breath, and nervous system feedback — not a set of muscles to isolate.
Breath and tension
Creating tension and letting it go on purpose, and what that does to stress, inflammation, and chronic discomfort.
Proactive health
Working on the body before it forces the issue, instead of waiting for a diagnosis to start paying attention.
Proof of work
If you arrived here with a specific problem rather than a general interest, the back pain program is the shortest route from listening to working.
