The Body Knows
with Leigh Ankrum
Forty years of hands-on practice, taught in plain language. Story-first conversations and teachings on the body — for practitioners who want to go deeper, and for anyone who wants to understand the body they live in.
Teachings
Leigh on camera, one question at a time — where pain actually comes from, how the body's systems interrelate, and what four decades of hands-on work reveal about healing.
Conversations
Sit-downs with practitioners, students, and people who carry the work in their own hands — the stories behind the practice.
For practitioners & the curious
Deep enough for the seasoned therapist, plain enough for anyone who wants to understand the body they live in. The same episode serves both — that's the point.
What we take up, one episode at a time.
Where pain actually comes from, why the body does what it does, and what it takes to let it heal. New episodes weekly, wherever the questions lead.
- Why pain is almost never where you feel it
- What the organs have to do with muscle pain
- Why nothing holds until the nervous system settles
- What the way we were born leaves behind in us
- The body's hidden signals — and how to read them
- Work that keeps working after the session ends
