Restoring Human Movement

At my office I teach my interns how to play the "ring ring" game. In a nutshell, as chiropractors and physical therapists, we often times we get phone calls from possible new patients asking questions: How much for a quick adjustment? Do you take my insurance? Do you do XYZ soft tissue work? These patients are really wanting one thing... to feel better. In my interpretation, their questions are based upon what they believe to be barriers to their success, but really the only barriers is themselves. Listen to this podcast and see what the "ring ring" game is all about and how it can help you succeed in building a new patient base. SHOW NOTES AT https://www.p2sportscare.com/podcast/

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 Mark at http://www.MarkMurdoch.ca

David Hanscom is a retired orthopedic surgeon, who interestingly decided to stop practicing because he no longer agreed that doing spinal surgery was needed with many patients. Interesting right?! He decided to go full time with a more conservative approach in promoting his book about high quality patient education about chronic pain. The book covers how one can manage their chronic pain without the use of invasive procedures or excessive drug use. He's the author of the book, "Back in Control." Reach out to him on his website https://backincontrol.com/ SHOW NOTES https://www.p2sportscare.com/podcast/

I was introduced to Dennis Dunphy through a past guest Jesse Macado. Dennis Dunphy is a co-creator of Stick Mobility. After looking into what the whole practice of Stick Mobility was all about, I decided to have him on. The application of developing tension (or as he said irradiation) through positions and movements was apparent in his method and could be extremely useful in clinical practice. He's a great conversationalist and an interesting guy. Thanks again Dennis!

Greg Lehman is one of the presenters on the PRO Chiropractic Online CE Series. I was fortunate to have flagged him down from his busy lecturing schedule to get this hour of conversation about Pain Science in! Greg is a chiropractor based out of Canada. Some of the fine points we go into are: - building your cup - fear avoidance behavior - the pain is just an alarm concept - his background of how he came to think how he does - chiropractic as a profession Greg Lehman Bio: "Prior to my clinical career I was fortunate enough to receive a Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council MSc graduate scholarship that permitted me to be one of only two yearly students to train with Professor Stuart McGill in his Occupational Biomechanics Laboratory subsequently publishing more than 20 peer reviewed papers in the manual therapy and exercise biomechanics field. I was an assistant professor at the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College teaching a graduate level course in Spine Biomechanics and Instrumentation as well conducting more than 20 research experiments while supervising more than 50 students. I have lectured on a number of topics on reconciling treatment biomechanics with pain science, running injuries, golf biomechanics, occupational low back injuries and therapeutic neuroscience. While I have a strong biomechanics background I was introduced to the field of neuroscience and the importance of psychosocial risk factors in pain and injury management almost two decades ago. I believe successful injury management and prevention can use simple techniques that still address the multifactorial and complex nature of musculoskeletal disorders. I am active on social media and consider the discussion and dissemination of knowledge an important component of responsible practice." Within the course on PRO Chiropractic Online CE, he covers the following: HOUR 3 (CE hrs 1): Practical application of pain biology in literature and targeting educational message to person in lumbar spine cases HOUR 4 (CE hrs 1): Improve our skills of delivering key messages to promote healthy behavior and begin cognitive restructuring and addressing unhelpful beliefs with key message of pain biology education in lumbar spine cases Lumbar Spine Pain Biology w/ Dr. Greg Lehman DC

Phillip Snell is one of the presenters on the PRO Chiropractic Online CE Series. He is a chiropractor in Portland, OR. Within the Online Chiropractic Continuing Education Hours Course Phillip Snell covers: HOUR 9 (CE hrs 1): Overview of genetics and epigenetics. Inflammatory drivers of epigenetics. Laboratory testing for inflammation. HOUR 10 (CE hrs 1): Epigenetic interventions for sleep, stress, diet and exercise for the disc-injured patient. The Riddle of the Asymptomatic Disc: Epigenetic Clues to Chronic Low Back Pain-Dr. Phillip Snell DC Phillip Snell Bio: A cum laude graduate of Western States Chiropractic College (now University of Western States) in Portland, Dr. Snell has obtained extensive post-graduate training in the diagnosis, treatment, and case management of automobile-related spine trauma. His practice is focused on sports medicine, using functional assessment and rehab prescription, and is supported by cutting-edge myofascial techniques like Dermal Traction Method, Graston Technique and Stecco Fascial Manipulation. He has also served as adjunct faculty at the University of Western States in their manual therapy department and Sports Medicine Masters degree program. Dr. Snell keeps up to date with emerging scientific literature to improve his clinical practice, a process known as evidence-based practice. He travels extensively, teaching these methods to other doctors—and continues to add to his own toolbox as he, in turn, learns from the best researchers and teachers in the world. Using a biomechanics mindset, he enjoys the detective work that seeks to resolve stubborn, painful conditions. He then directs his attention to teaching patients how to use corrective exercises to manage their own conditions. His focus on finding the key movement patterns that require correction led him to launch MyRehabExercise.com in 2011. Health care professionals around the world use this website to help teach their own patients functional rehab methods. As a long-time athlete himself, Dr. Snell has a special appreciation for the needs of athletes as they age and the conditions that prevent them from remaining as active as they desire. Patients can expect not only chiropractic adjustments, but also treatment to address the surrounding muscle and fascial tissues, followed up with thorough rehabilitation exercises. Treatments are tailored to each patient's needs, with special attention directed towards educating the patient on how to reduce future injuries. Dr. Snell enjoys wintertime snowboarding, and during the warmer months can be found in his garden or hiking and running the beautiful trails in the Portland area with his wife and son.

Ben Ramos is one of the presenters on the PRO Chiropractic Online CE Series. He is a chiropractor in San Diego, CA Within the Online Chiropractic Continuing Education Hours Course Ben Ramos covers: HOUR 11 (CE hrs 1): Malpractice case presentations (reviewing litigation, discussion of what the doctor could have done better, professional boundaries) HOUR 12 (CE hrs 1): Malpractice case presentations (know when to refer out, documentation errors, social media boundaries, when to re-examine) Chiropractic Ethics - Dr. Ben Ramos DC & Dr. Sebastian Gonzales DC Ben Ramos Bio: A California native, Ben Ramos grew up surfing, skateboarding, break dancing, and playing whatever sport was in season. He's a military veteran who served in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation Enduring Freedom, and Pacific Fleet Operations. He has extensive experience working in athletic training rooms with high school, collegiate, amateur and professional athletes. He's also a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu fanatic with international competition experience. It was Dr. Ramos' personal experience in surgery and rehab with his own hip injury that lead him to pursue chiropractic care. The cookie-cutter approach, didn't cut it. "I was extremely displeased and knew there was a better way to do it that catered to the individual and not some one-size-fits-all protocol," says Dr. Ramos, "I wanted to make sure that others didn't have to experience what I went through." Dr. Ben is a chiropractor and an athlete. He brings together both his clinical and personal experience in sports medicine and rehabilitation to provide the absolute highest level of care for every patient he sees. He has a passion for keeping people active and making sure that they are on track to reaching their goals. He understands what it's like to be injured and knows what it takes to help his patients not only recover, but also continue to improve their abilities during the treatment process. When he is not treating patients he can be found on the mats practicing Brazilian jiu jitsu and submission grappling, or striving to perfect his kettlebell technique.

I thought now would be a great time to finally interview one of my old interns, Dr. Jermey Dinkin DC. Now practicing in New Jersey, Jermey is one of my "go to" suggestions when people ask for help on the northern east coast. Jermey graduated SCUHS chiropractic college in Fall 2018. While attended internship at my clinic, he became a (dare I say it) master of management of lumbar discs, hip FAI and easy integration into loading. I dig his style. I know it's hard to say "mastery" with a new grad but he's really damn good at it... better than some older chiropractors even! Thanks for being a great friend. The experience of internship paved the way for many interns to come from my office. Before you, I had no plans of eduction of new docs. Thanks for allowing me to learn with you on your journey. Seb Video of Jermey learning to do a video... Fun Stuff :) SHOW NOTES http://rsmsportsmed.com

I recently hit a small road block in creation of my workshop (Off-loading MSK Pathology) and had to reach out to some friends for ideas. My intention of the workshop is to improve the state of care in the chiropractic profession. I've really been challenged over the last year to explain things in a clear way to other sports medicine clinicians so they can use what I have learned in a clinical standpoint. i don't have a flow chart but I do have a clear intention in my exam/ care... but how should I write it on a presentation?! This is a brainstorming session I needed as I created my continuing education workshop for chiropractors and movement providers. SHOW NOTES

Recently I was asked to record the first hour of Theory of the Off-loading Chiropractic continuing education workshop that will be located in Huntington Beach CA on June 8-9th 2019. HERE IS THE POWERPOINT Here is the rough outline of the course that I send to people interested in coming! SHOW NOTES Off-Loading MSK & Neuro Pathology How to Effectively Use Corrective Exercise, Loading & Strength/ Conditioning In Patient Care - A Conversational Workshop Normal Structures In Normal Situations Don't Hurt Normal Structures In Ab-Normal Situations May Hurt Ab-Normal Structures In Normal Situations May Hurt Ab-Normal Structures In Ab-Normal Situations Probably Hurt Michael Shacklock My name is Sebastian. Let me start by saying that this workshop was not my idea. Nor was proof reading this document. Why am I writing this? Simple. It was suggested that I teach and get the LACC Class of Fall 2008 together for a "brainstorming" session. I would happen to be the moderator. I would like offer it to our class (deadline Feb 8th) before opening it to others. As a general rule, invite people who are open-minded to a discussion. Format For Workshop This will be an open forum for conversation. Nobody has all of the answers. Everyone has different experiences of "what works" for certain pathologies. In this workshop, we will be learning from each other. We'll be working together to challenge our biases to better serve our patients with a "non-bias" recommendation of care. My goals is for everyone to leave better than they came, including myself. This will be a forum for learning. Everyone is welcome to challenge what's being presented in a professional way. Side conversation is welcome. It will not be G rated. What You Will Learn We tend to not know, what we don't know, till we're exposed to it. Being out of school and away from other great docs tends to hinder our learning. Being married to certain techniques also hinder our critical thinking with complex cases. I know what I can bring to the table, but the secret ingredient is what the participants (you) bring to the workshop. Here's what you can expect to learn from me: Effective Exercise Therapy Dosage And Selection Considerations Of Symptoms: Muscle Tone Vs. Tissue Damage Effective Verbal & Tactile Cueing For Strength And Conditioning (So You Can Co-Manage Effectively With Strength Coaches/ Trainers) Identification & Reduction Of Patient's Unrealized Bias To Their Improvement Effective Exercise Therapy Dosage And Selection I hear this all the time. "I've tried physical therapy for months and my pain decreased a little, but never went away." In this situation, I'd suspect the exercise was not cued well, the exercise was incorrect for the person or the dosage was incorrect. When used correctly, corrective exercise can be more powerful than you've ever thought possible! Hip flexor tension gone after a birddog. Back back gone after deadlifting. Neck pain gone after a horizontal pull. Radiculopathies gone after cueing a simple plank. Let me show you what I mean in class... Considerations Of Symptoms: Muscle Tone Vs. Tissue Damage When a patient says their hamstring is "tight," is it really tight or does it just "feel tight?" How does this information change our treatment (manual, correctives and ADLs)? Investigation of their complaints in this way, you'll be able to reduce their problems without using manual therapy and/or CMT. Again you'll have to trust me and experience it for yourself. Effective Verbal & Tactile Cueing For Strength And Conditioning (So You Can Co-Manage Effectively With Strength Coaches/ Trainers) Ever wonder why some people get hurt deadlifting and others can lift massive amounts without a problem? Simple, many people lose tension. Same with shoulder injuries in Crossfit, hip impingement in squats, and sports hernias in rotational sports. Learning tensioners will assist you in co-management with fitness coaches, who'll think you're a damn genius for showing them these simple cues. Prevention under load starts with tension. Identification & Reduction Of Patient's Unrealized Bias To Their Improvement Why do some people refuse care? Why do some people (like your family member and close friends) turn away FREE care? There can be so many reasons, BUT to sum it up in one sentence… they have an "unsaid concern or bias" against your help. They could believe they're "degenerating" or they're "broken." They may have been told a harmful belief in the past that's affecting their future recovery. Let's find it.

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!

Olivia's Blog Post on the 5 stages Olivia reached out to me on Instagram and said.... "Hey man, you should get some podcasts about some labrums of the shoulder." She was right, I didn't have anything so I asked Olivia Petras from Canada to come on to give me her story of success following a traumatic shoulder labrum injury and surgery to follow. Enjoy! Show notes that can be found in full on http://p2sportscare.com ... just search Olivia!

I had a friend come stay with me for a few days for an low back evaluation and stay in treatment for her on-going low back pain. In this show, I cover the whole story and the things I learned in the process. I recorded part of her examination that day that will appear on Youtube as well.

Over the past few years I've learned more about sports hernias and my success rate for groin pain has really skyrocketed. Allow me to share what I thought to be true about sports hernia (and other types of groin pain) via podcast today.

Recently I released a book about my personal experiences with low back pain, including the mental mindset I needed to accept/ perform rehab. It's been months since the release. A few of you have asked for an update on how it's going... here it is! I've learned a few lessons through the publication of my first book, which I'll share with you today. Allows getting better!

WORKSHOP DETAILS SHOW NOTES A common conversation I have with my patients is WHY I'd like them to MODIFY some of their weightlifting or ADD resistance training into their exit plan from my care. Typically this is about a 30 min conversation that's always rushed because I have other patients waiting and honestly it's more than I like to share within them early in care. I would like them to focus on other things at this point in their care. The exit plan should be to incorporate some weight training (in the Dan John fashion) as a way to keep out of my office. Application of resistance training should be for the purpose of getting to a DIFFERENT GOAL. Fitness should not be used with a single goal of looking good. I go through it all in this podcast. Links: Dan John Interventions NOTE: There's a possibility this podcast will not be free within 6 months. Listen to it now, as it may be removed and offered for a small fee because I tend to think people absorb more information when they have skin in the game.

WORKSHOP DETAILS SHOW NOTES The shoulder labrum is a common structure of the shoulder that is blamed for shoulder pain, especially with throwing athletes. A listener brought to my attention that it is a diagnosis I have not covered in detail. In a coming episode, I plan on interviewing someone with a shoulder labral repair to hear exactly what occurred and what it took to recover. Docs: Please share this episode with a patient you know whose' suffering from shoulder pain they believe is from a labral issue. It will help them understand many of the consideration surrounding diagnosis and misdiagnosis of the labrum as the pain generator. References can be found at www.p2sportscare.com.

SHOW NOTES In this episode, Miguel Aragoncillo chats with me about how we can use the environment as a way to "discover movement" like dancing, jumping, squatting and much more. The use of the ground, wind, and visual surroundings are just a few ways were we can challenge our bodies (and brains) to "feel" movements. The results are a better understanding of how your body moves and how to calibrate accuracy of movements, by knowing what inaccuracy feels like. Thank you for reaching out to me about this podcast Miguel. I had a great time chatting and thanks for sharing. Let's keep in touch and keep the conversation going! Links Website Philosophy Creating a New Attractor Well for Behavior Non-Linear Behavior for Sports Performance Miguel Aragoncillo Bio: I am currently working as a strength coach at Cressey Sports Performance in Massachusetts. Prior to working at CSP, I was employed with Endeavor Sports Performance in New Jersey, and was working alongside Kevin Neeld and co, working with several types of athletes and individuals – namely private youth hockey organization and a private travel baseball organization, functioning as the strength coach in their Pennsylvania location. When working with these athletes and clients, priority is taken to ensure quality movement is pursued, along with optimal exercise selection for that specific individual. Many who read these bios expect a long and prolific athletic career riddled with letters and achievements in their respective sports. I have had none of them, and I did quite badly at most sports during my adolescence. However, with this weakness I turned it into a strength, as this allowed me the opportunity to try breakdancing at my own pace, with no rules and no boundaries to limit me. I disliked running, so soccer was fairly uncomfortable for me to complete to say the least. I remained the same height from the age of 15 on, so basketball was already a limited choice from a genetic standpoint. I also didn't particularly enjoy getting hit in the mouth at age 12 when I was playing baseball, so I gave up that sport fairly quickly. So, armed with my genetic limitations and lack of coordination, I stubbornly pressed on to breakdance my way to athleticism with time, effort, and determination. Now, I take great pride in the work that I've devoted to helping dancers all along the east coast hosting multiple booths, workshops, and individual assessments, all while aiding individual dancers to prepare for a large spectrum of movements while preparing for performances and competitions. I hold a Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist certification through the National Strength & Conditioning Association, and Health Fitness Specialist certification through the American College of Sports Medicine. Further, I've received my Bachelor's degree in Kinesiology with a concentration in Exercise Science from Temple University, located in Philadelphia, PA.

SHOW NOTES BUY THE BOOK "I WILL BEAT BACK PAIN" Over the last year, I've been writing a book on the topic of low back pain. I'm proud to say it's unlike any other book on back pain available. There are no exercises. There's no stretches. It focuses on one thing… getting yourself mentally back into a WINNING mental mindset for the recovery to take hold. If you're like me, I have loved ones with back pain, who make no attempt to get better. They say their tired of feeling shitty and say their ready to get better, but after that nothing happens beyond that. I've found giving free advice/ treatment/ rehab to friends and family is a waste of everyone's time. They tend to not accept and implement the advice given, especially if it's free. Why do they continue to hurt? Inertia and friction are strong. You give them a shove, but they roll to a stop. Removal of the friction requires "inception." They need to care about themselves more than you do, which removes the friction. They need to goal-set and they need to take responsibility. I don't' believe the epidemic of back pain is because of poor treatment, funds or patient management… I believe it's because people suffering from back pain don't overcome inertia, friction or both. I believe people with back pain, including myself, need to have a WINNING ATTITUDE about recovery… leading to more success stories as friction is decreased. Too often are we (back pain sufferers) are self defeated and play a victim. Regardless of WHY back pain happens… the recovery starts with a "mental about face. In this podcast, I give a sneak peak of the audio version of my book called I Will Beat Back Pain: Setting A WINNING Mindset For Recovery. Buy the book for your loved one with back pain, overcome inertia and the book will get them to decrease the friction… recovery is eminent. Get the book on Amazon in print, audio and Kindle HERE… don't forget to review it so more people will find it for their loved ones on Amazon. Enjoy! Here is a sneak peak of the print version: FOREWORD Are you stagnant in your back pain or sciatica recovery? Have you never full heartedly attempted to recover and regain your past life prior to back pain or sciatica? Are you tired of feeling run down by your back and/or leg pain? You're not alone. In fact, millions of active and non-active people suffer from back pain yearly, yet 28% ever go seek medical attention of any type, and only 3% ever engage in a formal spinal rehabilitation program. So what's the deal? Why do people in pain not seek advice? A better question is why do even less engage in a plan of attack that yields a high rate of successful recovery? What's the barrier? This book will help you explore your personal blockade that may be shielding you from a solution that could be a simple arm's reach away. Have you set goals? Do you feel lost and unsure in your recovery process? Are you hesitant or fearful that you won't succeed or even worse, suffer another failed attempt at recovery? If your back or leg pain was corrected with rest, stretching, foam rolling and/or massage, then it likely "fixed" itself within a few weeks. By the way, back pain and sciatica often go hand in hand. (But more to come on that later in this book). If these methods helped you regain your life prior to injury...great! If not, you may need a new approach. If you've failed at getting your life back following a bout of back or leg pain in the past, it's not your fault. There's lots of information out there, and it can be confusing. Many times that information overload keeps you from success. It's okay. If you've been concerned in the past that you can't succeed at improving your back pain or sciatica, I want you to put those fears to rest. You can do this. You just need the right person to walk you through the process. Gurus on Instagram, Facebook and other social media want you to think you need to use the newest type of technology and treatments to get better, like stem cell, vibrating guns and copper products. I'm here to tell you they're wrong. People have successfully recovered from back pain for years without these. How do you think animals in the wild recover from back pain and sciatica? Did they gather all the nuts they've squirreled away to finance stem cell injections 3 times a year? No, they just moved and got better! If you've ever thought there's a faster, more efficient way of recovering from back pain or sciatica than months of unfruitful stretching or rest, you're right. I know you have aspirations of running your dream destination race, hiking on the weekend, surfing (aka slappin' the lip), weightlifting or just plain old moving everyday as you go about your life without wondering if you'll trigger your "bad back" in the process. I'm here to assist you in that process, but guess what… it all starts with a mental "about face." What would you do tomorrow if your back or leg pain was gone? Totally gone! Gone in the way as if you never ever had it and you have no

SHOW NOTES BUY THE BOOK "I WILL BEAT BACK PAIN" One common misconception our patients have about exercise is that's just a "bonus in life." It's not a requirement to feel good and look good. They often times don't see the carry over of various forms of exercise to life situations (lifting weights, body weight exercise or cardiovascular exercise). Examples: Squatting = sitting down, toilet time, etc Hinging = lifting a child, helping a friend move, petting a dog Carry Variations = groceries, backpacks, children, etc Pushing = jump starting a car, opening doors, pushing a kid on a swing Pull = opening doors, dragging objects, luggage, starting lawn mowers In this podcast, our serial co-host Dr. Cody Dimak, and I cover some ways we communicate the need for exposing our patients to load, so they can better navigate load in daily life. We also cover exclusions to loading in our clinical experience. If you're a clinician or coach who has the "need for resistance training or exercise" conversation with the lay public on a daily basis, share this podcast with your clients for better buy-in.

SHOW NOTES Guido Van Ryssegem is a badass. If you haven't heard of him before, you may have heard of some of his contributions to the healthcare-fitness world. Just to name a few, Nick Winkelman studied under him and has become wildly popular. The sleeper stretch for throwers was a Guido invention. I was fortunate to attend Guido Attractor State and Dynamic Systems Theory Workshop and I can say with confidence that it changed the way I treat certain cases dramatically. The easiest way to think of Guido's work in reducing Attractor States, is figuring out what the body is "asking for" and then giving it proper dosage of the proper "exercise medication." Or maybe simplest way is to just hear the conversation :) Using the tactics Guido shares, I've been able to reduce many of my patient's symptoms with a single corrective exercise within a matter of seconds. Neck pain, back pain, knee pain, hip impingement and so much more are treatable with the CORRECT corrective exercises. If you want to see a patient buy into your style quickly, consider attended Guido's course. Simply amazing stuff. Guido Van Ryssegem Bio: Mr. Guido Van Ryssegem is owner and co-founder of Safe Recovery, LLC. He has been in clinical practice for 30 years and has been working in the strength and conditioning arena for 35 years.

SHOW NOTES BUY SEBASTIAN'S BACK BOOK Grant Elliott is a student of chiropractic at Logan College of Chiropractic (in term 7 of 10 at the time of this recording). I wanted to have him on the show because of the amazing, high quality content he has been producing for social media (Instagram and Youtube). Being a content creator, I know how hard it is to get going and how crappy most of our first efforts are. He's a prime example of someone who has been able just start showing the world what he knows, he's willing to take the criticism that will come with the spotlight and the success as well. Students should take note… this is how you get people in your clinic doors. The struggle will be very real in Term 11. Keep an eye on him, I know he's destined for big things!

SHOW NOTES Why do you still have tightness within certain muscles regardless of how much you stretch, roll or massage? Perhaps we should be asking the deeper questions of why the muscles are tight in the first place. What are they working so hard to do? What are they compensating for? In this podcast, I go through three cases I've had come through my clinic over the last few months. I go through some things that worked and didn't work… you may be surprised what worked!

SHOW NOTES Tight hamstrings are a chronic issue for many runners and lifters. What creates the sensation of a "tight hamstring" when you can actually touch your toes? Are the hamstrings really tight or do they just feel tight? Did you have a "pop" occur in the hamstring region? Did it bruise? Does your back hurt? In this podcast, I asked my serial co-host (Dr. Cody Dimak DC) to have a discussion about all of the common questions/ considerations patients may have when they're experiencing symptoms into the hamstring region. Dr. Dimak shares a story about a powerlifter with tightness in the hamstrings. We both cover some stories about runners with hamstring "tightness." Enjoy and I hope this assists all the clinicians in communicating with their patients about what their treatment plan is attempting to do mechanically. In this podcast we will cover the following topics: Hamstring "tightness" sensations vs hamstring tears Clues to see if you may have a hamstring tear Simple ways to recovery from hamstring tightness Warm ups for runners Strength for runners Low back considerations in hamstring tightness Contact Dr. Cody Dimak [email protected] Sebastian's Youtube Channel Attention Docs and Fitness Professionals: Access your client educational products, banners and posters here.

SHOW NOTES A few weeks back a ballroom dance coach, Ikaika Dowsett, reached out to me for an interview on his podcast. During the hour, we had a great conversation and I realized he has a lot of information to share with clinicians about the ballroom dance world. One realization I had in the conversation was that cueing motion and goal setting is a challenge in rehab, dance and many other movement disciplines. We are all assisting people to different ways of moving, building healthy habits and more. Listen and soak it up.

SHOW NOTES Recently at my old chiropractic college, I presented on how I've use Youtube to grow my business. If you don't know already, I started my practice from scratch, had no employees for 4 years and used Youtube as a way to duplicate topics of discussion, exercise instruction and more. I needed to automate part of myself and these entry level conversations/ topics were a great place to start. In this podcast I'll cover the following topics: How to discover your audience How to create for your audience What mental barriers you'll need to overcome as you create How to pick your topics Links to more valuable practice building content A warning, I cussed a bit my lectures. I do that when I get hot on a topic! If I sounds like I was angry, I promise I wasn't.

SHOW NOTES Dr. Kevin Christie DC, from the Modern Chiropractic Marketing Show has been on my podcast before speaking about a very different topic than we'll be covering today. Today we're all about educating the young and "newer" chiropractors about how to ethically market their services to the public. Physical therapists you many get some times from this episode too! In my first 5 years of practice, I saw the words "sales & marketing" as dirty words that carried the perception that I was slimy. During those 5 years, I did alright in business, but not amazing. After seeing friend and family seek care from doctors who charged more than me and weren't as trusted as "family" I decide that the way I conveyed my message to the public about how I could help them needed to change. I came to terms that people will only find my assistance if I figured out how to communicate my value and expertise better. Now my practice is much busier, I see highly motivated people within my client base and get paid exactly what I want to be paid for my time. Kevin has been able to build an amazing platform for doctors just like me, ones who want to learn to succeed in business sooner after they graduate. He has tons of great information to share for those who you who want more patients, want to build a solo practice, or who want to better communicate with their audience.

SHOW NOTES Working in the same facility as Allie Christensen over the last few months, it's been amazing to see the WAY she works with her young dancers. As a past professional dancer who was forced to stop due to repeated hip injuries, she refocused her efforts to assist young dancers to get to a professional level, without all of the pain that she went through. Some topics she addresses daily with this athletic population are unique. If you've listened to #104 with Dr. Sloan Beard, you'll find similarities with the dance and gymnastic worlds. Since I have less "bendy" athletes, with more clothing on as well, I'm learning the unique challenges that these demands place on young women. Some of these topics we cover are: Body image Poor body supports Excessive activity Flexibility with control Strength I've gotten the chance to observe the simple verbal cues Allie uses. They are very relatable for her young athletes. I've found it personally challenging to work with middle school kids, so needless to say I learn the art of being patient from Allie's ways of teaching.

SHOW NOTES Over the past month, I had a few amazing cases come into my office. These cases were classic, in that I've seen a lot of them, but they're often times odd for the patient to understand. The correction was not even remotely close to the area of pain. These three cases made me wish I had more content to assist the public in their understanding of other possible reasons why their son or daughter's foot, knee or groin pain is not going away with standard physical therapy, why their MRIs are negative despite continued disability and why their sports doctor has no idea what to do with them. (Sorry guys… nothing against any profession, but that's just the story they tell me.) These athletes stories all had something in common… off-loading of their symptomatic limb during a squat test. In other words, they had crooked squats. In all of these cases, the first correction I made was to "even out" their squat. Low and behold, they felt better within a matter of minutes and this reduction remained for days to follow! I picked the "low hanging fruit" found within their examination. The key was not getting caught up in solely investigating in the region of pain or where the patient was pointing to. Each person was very different in their presentation, which is interesting in itself, because their regions of pain (the diagnoses) would be very different by definition. Groin Pain Knee Pain Foot/ Arch Pain After we made the needed correction, they all had questions about WHY this worked. Why did improving their squats yield 50-75% reduction of symptoms within one session? Great question! As I explained the theory of WHY the correction working in their case, I started to wish I had something I could share with them, hence this podcast. So here we are! General Rules Of My Examinations In These Cases Listen Don't beat the same therapy to death Rule out spinal considerations Rule out local instability Look at the other side Pick the low hanging fruit Pick a movement based trigger (not a stretch) Recommend exercise dose Retest Young Adult Female Soccer Player With Knee Pain "Patellar tendonitis?"

SHOW NOTES Garrett Wood, licensed massage therapist, reached out recently on Instagram about being on the show or at least having an LMT on an interview. I've never interview a massage therapist so I thought… why not! After looking at Garrett's Instagram posts, I couldn't help but think "there's more to this guy than just massage." Pain is a very complex, multifactorial topic. Garrett takes us through his journey from personal trainer, to massage therapy, to hypnotherapy and what he learned along the way... To be honest, I don't know a ton about the biopsychosocial aspect of pain, so I just went where Garrett lead. I'm learning just like you!

I had a listener email a great question. He asked if I ever planned on addressing some of the concerns of active seniors. The 65+ group how wants to stay active as they were when they were younger. I'm sure many of you know people like this… those older guys and girls who were complete badasses at their sport when they were younger and now they just want to keep active and participating in sports, regardless of age. The young at heart! Since this is a huge area of conversation, I asked him to clarify some direct questions he and his "old fart" friends (he called them this) would like to know about. He supplied me with a ton of talking points (listed below). Thank you Jack for supplying literally all of the topic points for this episode! I hope this is helpful for you and your boys. Keep being active! Suggested Links: Course Mentioned Runner's Tips Article Back Pain Article SHOW NOTES HERE Feet- chronic pain on one side and on both sides.

I started a closed Facebook group with the goal of improving our patient education and communication, so we can all accomplish better outcomes with these people who've trusted us as guides to accomplish their goals. I think if we can improve our communication (verbal, visual and kinesthetic), we can better assist our patients in completion of their treatment plan (what that is it's up to you) so they can accomplish their shot and long-term goals. The purpose of this podcast is not to address ways we can do educate or communicate (you can get all of that in the group). The goal was to answer some of the questions I've had members ask me. Show Notes Here's the questions/ talking points verbatim as they came to me after I asked, "What would you like to see from this group?" I'm hoping to learn more about what it's like being a Sports DOC, as well as different ways to explain the various subjects to my future patients. See variety of approaches and implementation of active care into treatments so patients understand importance. What they learned I would say, but more of the patient communication aspect. Like listening to your podcast the different way people explain things to patients and talk about their approach with patient care My biggest inquire is about learning how to give proper patient education and understanding the verbiage for them to comply with the treatment and/or at home exercises. I am in student clinic not seeing athletes, just general population, and they just want the passive modalities and don't want to work for their care even though it would benefit them greatly. My main goal, as a student, is to see what is working for those DC's who are practicing and create my own system of patient education for when I am seeing patients. Then in turn sharing what works for me. I'm open to anything. Always working to recognize self selection bias when addressing individual patient needs. In short, evidence informed strategies (verbal or manual palliatives) to facilitate improved patient outcomes. I love talking cues! I'll definitely have to listen to that soon! Thank you! Im looking to find new/better ways to inform and explain things to my clients/future patients...i have a love for fitness and just started chiro school with plans to be primarily a sports chiro. I would say clinical cases and how they were or could be approached. Also some business info could never go wrong.

I've been fortunate to have worked with Brenan Ghassemieh, Strength Coach, while overcoming a lumbar spine injury I sustained last year 2017. My goal was to be able to play baseball again (recreationally) in the 2018 spring season, which I was able to do so! Booyah! Throughout our strength and conditioning sessions over the last year, Brenan and I have had some great conversations about cueing, strength, anti-rotation and much more. I've learn a lot so before my training session today we did a quick recorded conversation. Perhaps we could capture some gold nuggets? You'll have to listen to see...

I had the opportunity to speak to Dr. Andy Galpin PhD on the podcast recently. I thought his point of view as researcher would be extremely informative to clinicians like myself, that claim to be an "evidence-based provider." Are we actually practicing what the evidence shows? Should we only practice what the evidence shows? These are just a few of the touch points Dr. Gaplin covered for us today. You'll love this informative conversation if you're a Doctor of Chiropractic, Physical Therapist, Exercise Science student, Rehab Specialist, or "Evidence-Based Practitioner."

As a youth, Andy played every sport at his disposal, excelling at Football, Basketball, Baseball, and Track & Field. While not playing, he worked at grocery stores, gas stations, hay fields, blueberry farms, and in the road construction business. It was during this time he discovered Strength & Conditioning. Andy took his limited talents to Linfield College to join their Football team and pursue a degree in Exercise Science. While he experienced great success in both (2004 National Championship and 2x Captain and immediate inductee into the "All Ugly" Team), the true reward of this time was the meeting of lifelong friend (Doug Larson). The two fed each other's pursuit of knowledge of human performance and led them to attend the University of Memphis for the Masters degrees in Human Movement Sciences. A bit of luck and excellent faculty mentoring led Doug and Andy to meet Mike Bledsoe and the man formally known as "Barbell Buddha" Chris Moore - all of which later led to the creation of the #1 Health & Fitness Podcast in the world Barbell Shrugged. It also marked the start of Andy's competitive Weightlifting (culminating in his 7th Place finish in the 2007 National Championships), Mixed Martial Arts, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu careers. Needing to know more about muscle, Andy spent 4 years studying the structure and function of human skeletal muscle at the single cell level, a feat which earned him a PhD in Human Bioenergetics in 2011. This also resulted in the friendship with frequent collaborator Dr. Jimmy Bagley and the ability to open up his own "Biochemistry and Molecular Exercise Physiology Laboratory" at CSU Fullerton. He now focuses his attention on teaching classes (Sports Nutrition, Exercise Physiology, Designing Exercise Programs, Applied Strength and Conditioning, Athlete Assessment and Measurement, etc.) and running the BMEP lab (which studies the acute responses and chronic adaptations of human skeletal muscle in response to high force/velocity/power and fatiguing exercise from the whole body, down to the individual muscle fiber and even into the individual DNA. The team does this by taking muscle biopsies from non-athletes and elite athletes from different backgrounds (e.g. normal college student, MMA fighter, Boxer, Weightlifter, etc.) and use highly sophisticated laboratory techniques and equipment to address questions about single fiber "type", size, function, protein quantity, diameter, mitochondria, and myonuclear function. You can get all of our published research here. At heart, Andy is simply a story-teller and teacher.

Today's episode was the first stab at having on a co-host, my good friend and great diagnostician Dr. Cody Dimak DC. I feel we can do better as a dual host on this particular topic of lower extremity syndromes. What do all of these syndromes have in common? Is there a common intersection point? Do we always have to use manual therapies to treat these? CORRELATED ARTICLE (MUST READ) Show Notes Below are some of the syndromes we cover in this podcast: IT Band Syndrome Maignes Syndrome Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome Piriformis Syndrome Facet Syndrome Hip Flexor Syndrome Hip Impingement Syndrome Within this podcast, we go through some of our clinical experience working with people with these "syndromes" and what has worked using a corrective exercise-focused approach first and manual therapy after if needed. Have these concepts been validated 100% through research? No, but that's ok. You'll hear in #106 next week that most of the treatments and clinical judgement we use in practice that have great patient outcome don't have solid scientific backing. The theories we are utilize in this theoretical model are: Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization Vladimir Janda's works Local research of each symptom with a local focus.

SHOW NOTES Did you know back pain within the gymnast population was so prevalent? I didn't until the interview with Dr. Sloan Beard DC. She practices in Birmingham AL and is the creator of an online course called the The Gymnast Fix. If you think about it, it all makes sense… kids being pushed 6-8 hours a day into bendy positions… sounds like a lot of spinal injuries right? In this podcast interview with Dr. Sloan Beard, she takes us through some corrections we can make in our bendy athletes to mitigate risk of pars fractures, spondylosis and back pain in general. Some of the topics of conversion include: Anti-extension control Urinals Gymnast physiology surrounding injuries American Gymnastics Hesitation of these athletes seeing a doctor Intra-abdominal pressure You'll love this fun/ informative conversation with Dr. Sloan Beard Dr. Sloan Beard's Bio: I was a competitive gymnast for almost 20 years. Like so many other athletes, I dealt with discomfort and injuries by going to doctor after doctor. I heard many times to just quit gymnastics. You'll understand - that wasn't going to happen. So I pressed on, working through the pain, not knowing or caring what kind of damage I might be doing to my body. I iced, I stretched, I wrapped, I soaked. I thought I could just ignore the pain. But I was worried. How long could I really keep this up? I FINALLY GOT REAL HELP. I finally met a Chiropractor who encouraged me to compete rather than quit. Through Chiropractic and manual therapy, I was able to maintain the physical condition I needed to keep doing gymnastics, including at the college level. AFTER YEARS OF HURTING, I WAS AMAZED TO LEARN I DIDN'T HAVE TO ANY MORE. I went on to get my Doctorate in Chiropractic and a Masters in Sports Science and Rehabilitation and become a Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician. Now, combining my love of gymnastics and with my clinical knowledge, I work with elite athletes who want to practice safely, execute routines cleanly, and compete at their absolute best.

As healthcare providers, we normally suck at getting our message out into the public eye. SHOW NOTES Even though I'm much better at now, I sucked hard at it for years. Allow me to share some of my secrets for content creation with you. I've heard all of the reasons why my friends don't produce content: Too busy The kids keep me away Patient loads I don't know what to say I don't know where to start Throughout this podcast session, I'll share some of the strategies I use weekly allowing me to see a full patient load (to my desire), record/produce and promote a hour long podcast and Youtube video. Over the past year I've written three 30+ page articles on my 275+ page website, written two eBook with over 150 pages of text each, and five free eCourses (20 pages of text each). I take 95% of all of my own videos and images for my site and even draw a few pieces of content that I can't buy or find available for my patient education. You can do it too! Your practice will thrive, without having to market to trainer, coaches and doctors locally. Enjoy!
