Compression of the ulnar nerve (or its contributing nerve roots) can cause numbness of the hand into the pinky and ring finger. Most people do not need an MRI or xray to start care. In this podcast, I cover some of the treatment options to reduce numbness of the hand into the ring and pinky finger. Ulnar Nerve Web Guide Ulnar Nerve Article

In this podcast, we cover "Groin Pain Treatments and Possible Diagnosis." This will be very helpful for runners and lifters. We spoke about some easy treatment suggestions as well as how to figure out what is going on in your hip, in simple (non-doctor) terms. We cover hip impingement, groin pain, hip bursitis, hip flexor syndrome, and referred pain to the hip. https://www.p2sportscare.com/

Recently I was interviewed on the Beyond The Pointe Podcast by Allie Christensen. It was a fun conversation so I thought I would share it with all of you. If you know any dancers, please listen to the Beyond The Pointe Podcast. It is a great resource to empower dancers as athletes and human beings.

My intern Mike Velesco has some great questions. I thought you all would benefit from hearing the Q and A. This will be a multi-part series no doubt. This is part 2. Access Sebastian's 5 Step Patient Care Workshop Series Here Cody Dimak's S&C/ Loading Workshops" Lower Upper

Michael Shacklock, Physiotherapist, has been a guest on the show before. In episode 91, you would have experienced him for the first time and have probably heard a lot about him since (if you're a frequent listener). I've learned a lot from this man and I hope you will as well. He travels the world teaching other clinicians to effectively manage patient pathology with a neurodynamic aspect. Does motion provoke the person's symptoms? Does your sciatica patient have pain only with walking? Or may walking is fine, but returning to full sprinting has been troublesome? Or that patient with arm numbness only after pitching for 2 innings? These cases often times have a neurodynamic aspect, but how would you know? Michael is here to guide us the way. Never fear. https://www.neurodynamicsolutions.com https://www.instagram.com/neurodynamics/ Access Sebastian's 5 Step Patient Care Workshop Series Here Cody Dimak's S&C/ Loading Workshops" Lower Upper

I was interviewed on the Kokoro Movement Podcast recently and decided to share the audio with all of you. Talking with Jesse is always a great time. I'd love to say we have a focused topic but as conversations go, we jumped around. Take a listen to the Kokoro Movement Podcast, found on all major podcast players.

This is the audio version of a webinar I put on for Doc who wanted some organization to their treatment plans. I use this thinking process to better organize my REASONS for suggesting certain treatments and exercises to patients when I do. I think this is one of my only original ideas. Watch the video version here: https://www.p2sportscare.com/5-step-webinar/

Recorded 3-21-20 at the beginning of the "stay at home" mandates in California, I decided to share some of my brainstorming about the future. What's up with telemedicine for low back, neck, shoulder, and hip complaints... as well as other musculoskeletal conditions?

Guido Van Ryssegem has been on the podcast before (#122) where we discussed his Attractor State concept with Movement Variability. Today I wanted to have him on air to demonstrate how we can apply his Attractor State principles (influenced by Janda) in athletes with shoulder pain. You can find Guido's work here http://www.kineticintegrations.com/ If you'd like to attend my workshop, here are the details: https://www.p2sportscare.com/doctor-workshop/

Recently I was schooled by an intern. Here are the cases that we were working on. See how teaching the hip hinge is dependant upon each person and what type of condition we are working with. Enjoy!

In this podcast session, I'll be covering some of the evolutions I'll be adding to my practice this coming year. I don't expect all of them to work as planned, but I'm willing to give them a shot. I share these thoughts to give you all something to think about as you build your practice to help more people towards independence. Here are some of the topics: - Cash vs insurance - Exam rates - Solo verse associate experience - Finding new patients vs. retention of old ones/ base of practice - Pain verse wellness model + sustainable training - Cold vs warm leads

I've had a few patients over the last year I wish I had made this for as they were starting care. The reason being is that being afraid of certain movements (knowingly or not) can create certain types of pain. Establishing a clear line of communication is helpful to get these patients to their goals. Communication is needed with all relationships but in my experience, these types of cases require a little more trust-building. Teamwork!

Mike Carhart, from Anytime Fitness, reached out to me to discuss the WHY of fitness training. Diving into the minds of those who train, and seek care, is always a great topic for me so... I said yes. Enjoy!

In this podcast session, I cover some interesting patient case studies over the last few months. #1 Foot pain in a soccer player #2 Upper trap tightness #3 Successful implementation of a strength training program Listen in as a brainstorm how I could have done better and what I did well.

PART 2: Grant Elliot from @rehabfix on Instagram was on the show this week. Although we did not have an exact adjacent, in our monthly conversation we tend to chat about social media for chiropractors, business practices, treatment and communication with social media followers. This conversation was no different, between the ebb and flow of BSing we hit on these topics. This is another two-part series. Hint: At the very end of part II we come back on to hit on Grant's online consult system.

Sara Van Dyke is a new Chiropractic school graduate. She interned within my office for 6-7 months. I wanted to have a meeting with her to brainstorm some ideas of what she could be doing at this time to start her practice. Hopefully this helps you in remembering how it was to exit school or assists you in getting your practice going. We cover insurances, new patients and website creation.

Touchpoints are useful in helping patients feel better and I'm not referencing manual therapies. Patients need to know that you're the one who can help them. Many times on the first or second interactions they are not ready to accept your help. It may be the 10th or 20th interaction. Today I'll unveil some way we create touchpoints in our new patient encounters.

Be aware this episode is not a useful one for lay public. For clinicians, it will be gold. Sam Collins from HJ Ross Billing and Coding shares many helpful tips about modern health insurance billing/ coding for chiropractors. I went to his in-person workshop a few months ago and was blown away by how much useful information I didn't know about insurance. This is Part 1 of 2.

One method I use to make more personal touchpoints with possible new patients (people on the fence) are free audios about the problems they mention on the phone or email. These audios cover many of the common questions people have before they book the first exam. Basically they want to know if I can help and how what I am doing for them is different that things they may have tried... this audio cover it. Take a listen and see if this method something that can help you in your practice.

Discogenic Low Back Pain Case Study Recently my girlfriend had a spurt of lower back pain that forced her to miss work for a whole week. She could not get off the ground for 2 day straight. Lucky for you, she was willing to share the whole experience on the show. Here's the link for the whole examination/ treatment video that Ben Ramos did with Allie about 2.5 weeks after the onset. It will be the 4th email of the series The first will be Dynamic Hip Evaluation, the Dynamic Shoulder Evaluation, Tension Clues & Cues and then this Low back exam case study. Emails are 1 week apart to give you time to try out the information. Don't worry it will all come Enjoy! Sebastian

In teaching motion, with and without weights, there are clues to see if the lifter's tension is being lost or not. Tension is what protects our body from harm during lifts and loads of the outside world. Squatting, Deadlifting, Pressing and much more require tension to move the weight and provide a safeguard against aches and pain. Tension needs to be taught. I'll cover it in this podcast. Here's the link for the document and the video I mentioned. It will not be the first email you get. It will be the 3rd that comes 14 days after the hip email. The first will be Dynamic Hip Evaluation, the Dynamic Shoulder Evaluation, Tension Clues & Cues and then this Low back exam case study. Emails are 1 week apart to give you time to try out the information. Don't worry it will all come Enjoy! Sebastian

December is the month of giving, in this podcast episode I put together my clinical pearls of shoulder evaluation from the clinicians. I've been blessed to have some great mentors in showing me how to test shoulders using the standard orthopedic and ROM testing, yet adding a dynamic aspect to the exam to see beyond reasonable doubt if this person with a shoulder issue will respond well to corrective exercise loading or manual therapy. This month on the podcast, allow me to give back. This should work in most cases of: Subacrominal impingement Swimmer's shoulder Tendonitis cases of the rotator cuff Possible grade 1 labrums Upper trap tightness Pain with sleeping on the shoulder Bursitis AMBRI shoulders Here's the link to access the document and the video I mentioned in the podcast. It will not be the first email you get. It will be the second that comes 7 days after the hip email. The first will be Dynamic Hip Evaluation, the Dynamic Shoulder Evaluation, Tension Clues & Cues and then this Low back exam case study. Emails are 1 week apart to give you time to try out the information. Don't worry it will all come Enjoy! Sebastian

December is the month of giving, in this podcast episode I put together my clinical pearls of hip evaluation. I've been blessed to have some great mentors in showing me how to work with hip/ groin pain efficiently, without the use of much manual therapy. Allow me to give back. This should work in most cases of: Hip Impingement (FAI) "Sports Hernias" Adductor Strains Pectineus Strains Piriformis "Syndrome" Trochanteric Bursitis Hip Flexor "Syndrome" Access the document and video I mentioned HERE To access the video, please use my email opt in (don't worry I won't sell your email or send you crap you won't care about). Through this email series, you'll get access to all of the clinical pearls I wish I would have known in my first 5 years of practice, as well as special offers for any future seminars I teach, "bro-sesh" meet ups, and video training.

Recently I asked if some student listeners would be willing to share their experiences of how they use the information they learn on this podcast within their schooling. I posted the request on Instagram and had a flood of people ask to be on the show to share. So, I thought it would be interesting to spend some time over a few months on learning what the listeners are saying! I learned a few things along the way :) Hopefully this interview is empowering for you as well. SHOW NOTES Reach Max Masood @mookwood24 on Instagram Phillip Snell's FYOB Course at SCU

This case study is of a person who came into my office with on-going piriformis region burning/ ache that increased with turning, sitting, running and squatting. She had already been treated with a battery of soft tissue work (Active Release and Graston), chiropractic adjustments, physical therapy, glute strengthening, rest and stretching. Long story short, she was reported a 75% improvement within 7 days with my suggestions.

We all have heard about "return to play" but are we really returning our patient to "play" or are we returning them to exercise. The thing is many people don't really care about exercise itself. They care about how the exercise makes them feel. Why not just return them to a playful activity that also accomplishes the same as the boring exercise? In this podcast, I cover this topic at length. This will be useful to movement providers as they assist patients to regain a healthily, happy life. I Will Beat Back Pain Book

As I work with more low back, hip and shoulder/ neck patients and refine by communication skills, I am finding I am getting some really great questions/ concerns as they recover. This podcast episode is lay public friendly. I cover questions you may have as your back, hip or neck starts to feel better. - Is lumbar spine flexion the devil? - Can I run again? Can't I ride a horse again? Can't I... - I'm not getting better because... - I've been doing rehab exercise for 3 months... should I continue? - I feel good after a few sessions. Should I come back? What else should I be doing? Enjoy the show!! SHOW NOTES
