Restoring Human Movement

SHOW NOTES I've gotten a lot more emails from listeners over the past few months about their "rotator cuff tears," "carpal tunnel syndromes," or "tennis elbows," which I'm thankful for, but the sad thing is based upon what these people say there's a strong possibility that their ongoing pain is rooting from a neck condition (or some other region). These people have been seeking care and advanced imaging for the region of their pain for years with little success. It affects what they can do in life (leisure and daily tasks) leaving them frustrated with the healthcare system. Why has nobody figured this out for them? This is common… when you go into an office directing the clinician's attention to the rotator cuff, they will tell you if it appears "normal or not," leaving you with minimal direction of how to resolve the condition. If you have a condition that's not getting better despite great treatment/ rehab, you should consider the strong possibility that your missing the correct diagnosis. Here's a few situations when we need to consider the neck (painful or not) as the root cause of symptoms: Change of sensation of any type into the arm, hand, elbow or shoulder Stabbing pain in to the shoulder blade region Headaches Neck loss of motion Symptoms increase when you look down, up or in other directions Past neck condition (resolved or not) Past neck trauma Pain above and below the elbow And much more Quotes: Where is your referred arm pain coming from? Nobody chases the arm pain associated with a heart attack No muscle travels the entire distance of the upper limb The neck doesn't have to hurt to be connected to your unresolved shoulder condition All muscles of the shoulder complex can be affected negatively when neck integrity is compromised Sebastian's Youtube Channel Attention Docs and Fitness Professionals: Access your client educational products, banners and posters here.

SHOW NOTES I attended Michael Shacklock's Upper and Lower Quarter Neurodynamics course in Spring of 2018 and it was one of those seminars that completely changed the way I looked at my patients on Monday morning. Michael presented for four days on some awesome ways we can test to see if a patient has a neuro component to their symptoms. Surprisingly many conditions that have a partial neuro aspect don't require radiation or pins/ needles! Here's a few types of cases I've found neuro aspects within (at least a percentage): Subacromial Impingement Cases Ankle injury diagnosed in the training room as a deltoid ligament grade 1 Medial Epicondylitis These types of cases would have fallen through the cracks in my eval and I would have been treated them as pure musculoskeletal conditions, but the truth is when I implemented some corrected to the neuro findings, the person improved past that plateau we sometimes find in patient care. I feel very fortunate to have Michael on to share some wisdom with the rest of the sports medicine listeners. Quotes: Spinal cord movement is a looking glass into lumbar nerve root behavior There's a 66% reduction in spinal cord movement with disc protrusions Flexion will open the foramen and reduce pressure on the nerve Across joints the nerve is more extensible, unrelated to amount of connective tissue Bio: Michael Shacklock: Michael received his graduate qualification at the Auckland School of Physiotherapy, New Zealand, in 1980. He worked in public hospitals in the medical, surgical, paediatrics, orthopaedics, geriatrics, intensive care and burns areas around New Zealand before being employed in private practices, treating spinal and sports injuries in Nelson with Michael Monaghan and Auckland with Margaret Franklin. In 1985 he moved to Adelaide, Australia, working at the Royal Adelaide Hospital and private practices around Adelaide. He completed a Graduate Diploma in Advanced Manipulative Therapy in 1989 and converted this to a Masters degree at the University of South Australia in 1993. He was awarded a Fellow of the Australian College of Physiotherapists (Australian Physiotherapy Association) for his monograph and international best-seller text book, Clinical Neurodynamics, Elsevier, Oxford, 2005. In addition to his neurodynamics book, he has published two other books, Moving in on Pain (Elsevier) and Biomechanics of the Nervous System: Breig Revisited. He also authored, co-authored and mentored numerous research studies, editorials, commentaries and clinical papers in international peer reviewed journals articles which have garnered many international awards, including Visiting Professor of the Faculty of Medicine, Barcelo University, Buenos Aires (see academic activities on ResearchGate). He was a member of the International Advisory Board of the journal Musculoskeletal Theory and Practice (formerly Manual Therapy), United Kingdom and is an Associate Editor of the Journal of Manual and Manipulative Therapy, USA. Michael presents keynote addresses and invited conference lectures, trains staff at elite sports medicine facilities and sports clubs, universities, hospitals and private seminars around the world. His special interests are neurodynamics, measurement of mechanical function of the nervous system, pain and the nervous system and musculoskeletal function. His most valued interest is how to synthesise science and clinical practice using evidence and reasoning. Michael is an active clinician, has 35 years of experience in treating patients and is recognised as an international leader in the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal disorders with a neural aspect.

SHOW NOTES Based on my observations working with patients for the past 8+ years, I found there are a few recurring conversations I have with patients. They often bring these points up well after the first exam date. I believe these points to be their unspoken objections or beliefs about their body/ injury. When we believed the world was flat, people didn't want to sail too far… because of the unspoken "truth" that the world was flat. I'm going to address the following "truths" patients and the public believe. Warning: Not all healthcare providers are going to agree with me on these, but many of them will. I'm ok with that. These are my beliefs that I've formed through experience, reading research and success with the patients I see. Here's a link to the hip video I mentioned: https://youtu.be/OiAJ8Hsr1nQ Enjoy! Here's the 9 points: "My XYZ is from my age… I'm just getting too old" "My problem is from my knots" "So are you going to 'work on' me?" "My XYZ is out" "My back pain is from XYZ, posture has nothing to do with my pain" "My problem is from scar tissue" "Can we do something to workout my arms?" "I don't understand why I'm in pain" "I have no time to learn about my injury/ pain etc" Sebastian's Youtube Channel Attention Docs and Fitness Professionals: Access your client educational products, banners and posters here.

SHOW NOTES Dr. Quinn Henoch DPT is an innovator in the sports medicine world… why? He has an awesome vision of the future of sports medicine. Often times athletes leave their doctor's office frustrated with the prescription to "take 3 weeks off." That's needed sometimes but it's very individualized to the person and the injury. Quinn understands athletes because he is one, but how can you find someone like him in your area? He created a network of clinicians who are athletic clinicians. They understand when rest is needed and when we can modify activity. Listen to this podcast about some sports medicine theory and the creation of the network. When I contacted Quinn, I asked if he would be willing to talk to me about the concept of rest for injuries… he agreed. Listen up! Quinn Henoch Bio: Quinn Henoch has a Doctorate of Physical Therapy from the University of Indianapolis and is head of sports rehabilitation at Clinical Athlete Laguna Niguel in Orange County, CA; where he manages athletes of varying levels and sports. He is also the founder of Clinical Athlete, which is a network of healthcare professionals who understand the performance-based needs of athletes. Quinn played football at the Div 1-AA level at Valparaiso University as a defensive back. Since 2011, he has trained exclusively for the sport of weightlifting, having competed at the national level.

SHOW NOTES I met Dr. Snell in Colorado this year while he was presenting at the Rehab to Performance Symposium on the topic of back pain and clinical reasoning. Seems like a general enough topic for a chiropractor right? The funny thing is that many healthcare providers don't have a systematic way to resolving back pain because they've never dug deep enough to uncover the main reason of the patient's condition. Dr. Snell took us all through an amazing workflow of how to identify the root case of low back pain (based upon some McGill and McKinzie works) and then how to reduce the person's pain quickly. He has a website called Fix Your Own Back that you should definitely check out. Dermal traction, formally known as YAP, is also one of his original ideas (along with Justin Dean, a past guest) and he goes over the concept of using it for high patient buy in today. SHOW NOTES: https://www.p2sportscare.com/fix-your-own-back-dermal-traction-dr-phillip-snell-dc/ Phillip Snell Bio: A cum laude graduate of Western States Chiropractic College (now University of Western States) in Portland, Phillip also received 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 supported by cutting-edge myofascial techniques like Graston Technique and Stecco Fascial Manipulation. He also has served as part-time faculty at University of Western States in their manual therapy department and Sports Medicine Masters degree program. Phillip keeps up to date with emerging scientific literature to improve his clinical practice, a process known as evidence-based practice. He also travels extensively each year, teaching these methods to other doctors—and continuing to add to his own toolbox as he in turn learns from the best researchers and teachers in the world. Using a biomechanics mindset, Phillip enjoys the detective work that gets to the bottom of stubborn, painful conditions. He then turns his attention to teaching patients how to use corrective exercises to manage their own conditions. His focus on finding the key movement patterns that need correction led him to launch MyRehabExercise.com in 2011. Health care professionals around the world use the website to help teach their own patients functional rehab methods. As a long-time athlete, Phillip has a special appreciation of the needs of athletes as they age and the conditions that keep them from being as active as they would like. 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 to educating the patient in how to reduce future injuries. Phillip 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.

SHOW NOTES I reached out to Dr. Ryan DeBell DC, of The Movement Fix, to help young clinicians, trainers and students develop businesses similar to his… if they desired. Dr. DeBell started a solo practice on his own. During his first few months of practice, he was able to successfully make $4000 in one day teaching at a seminar. Wow! This popularity lead to speaking engagements, workshops, podcasts, videos, and online content creation. Sky's the limit. During our conversation, he mentioned he has been able to grow his online business so much that he had to choose if he wanted to practice full-time or spend more time online. He picked online… why? Because he would rather help more people with understand the basics of having a health life. If you're a young doc who posts half-heartedly on instagram or facebook, you need to listen to this podcast. Enjoy. Quotes: "I learned to draw to improve my creativity" "A lot of times when we are talking to patients, we talk to them like they're Picasso." "When other people make content I think, I'm glad these people are putting themselves out there." "The people who are going to criticise you are the ones who are afraid to do it themselves." Ryan DeBell's Bio: "I was born a skeptic and a cynic. I question everything and challenge the status quo. I have a passion for helping people become strong, pain free, and take ownership of their bodies. I believe being pain free and moving well is a fundamental human right. Information shouldn't be kept a secret when it can benefit so many people in such a large way. I graduated from the University of Washington's Foster School of Business. After realizing I didn't enjoy the work I was doing (and sitting there writing excel macros thinking about how much more I would enjoy teaching people how to become strong, pain free, and move their body) I decided to make a change. The switch lead me to the University of Western States where I earned two degrees: A master's degree in exercise and sport science and a doctorate in chiropractic. I actually have an identity crisis at times. I don't identify well with one particular group of people based on how I was trained. My job is to help people become strong, get pain free, and move their bodies well. However I achieve that is not important (through hands on therapy, exercise instruction, a video on the internet, an e-book, a podcast, etc.). I care about helping as many people as I can in whatever way possible."

SHOW NOTES Warren Hammer authored some of the first articles and books I read as I was starting into grad school. He's been practicing using various soft tissue methods since the 1960's… he landed on Facial Manipulation as his main tool. I couldn't help but reach out to him to see what he has learned over the past 50 years of soft tissue work, clinical experience and research. You'll enjoy his passion! Here's some topics we hit: What kind of injuries or cases can fascial work assist with? What is Fascia? Does fascia have pain receptors? Why does fascia get restrictions and what is the physical "sticking?" How is Fascial work any different than foam rolling, massage, ART, graston etc Explain the receptor system How can fascial manipulation assist in movement patterns? Research surrounding fascia work Take the seminar by Warren Hammer here. Warren Hammer Bio: In Chiropractic practice since 1960. Subsequently obtained an MS degree and a diplomate in Chiropractic Orthopedics. Realizing the importance of soft tissue with respect to the treatment of joints I took many courses in soft tissue methods. Since 1985 I have lectured nationally and internationally on soft tissue methods. Some of the soft tissue methods taught were Cyriax's Friction Massage, Strain/Counterstrain, Post Facilitation Stretch, Myofascial Release, Muscle Energy, Graston Technique, Mattes' Active Isolated Stretch, Mulligan methods, Voyer's ELDOA technique and others. Authored and edited three editions of a text "Functional Soft-Tissue Examination and Treatment by Manual Methods" and more than 300 articles on soft tissue subjects, some of which are peer reviewed. Became a certified FM instructor in 2013.

SHOW NOTES Brett Winchester was recommended by Dr. Richard Ulm (#67), to speak about all things throwing. Dr. Winchester is a sports medicine clinician for the St. Louis Cardinals and has a true passion for the health of his pitchers. He has a unique was of keeping them healthy, strong and performing well. On our initial call about the podcast, he told me about how most pitchers (MLB, college, high school and younger) are taught the wrong pitching mechanics, or what he called "pitching stereotype." What does that mean? I think about how I loved to see Ken Griffey Jr swing a bat so I attempted to model my at bats around what he did… I mean he was great right?! Brett says that each person has the idea mechanics for them… currently at the younger levels our kids are being taught to pitch in a way that verifies the spikes in UCL injuries. It al starts with when your player separates their hands... Dr. Brett Winchester's Bio: When not practicing at Winchester Spine & Sport, Dr. Winchester teaches around the globe. In 2013, Dr. Winchester lectured in six countries conducting 30 seminars for doctors, students and therapists. Dr. Winchester currently teaches for Logan University and its College of Chiropractic, the Motion Palpation Institute, Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization, and The Chiropractic Rehabilitation Diplomate, to name a few. Dr. Winchester's studies and lectures have taken him to England, Prague, Chile, Sweden, Norway, Canada and across the United States to teach the latest manual therapy research and techniques. In his free time, Dr. Winchester enjoys spending time with his family, including wife Cheri Thornhill Winchester, a longtime resident of Lincoln County, and his children Grace and Wade. His hobbies include cycling, snow and water skiing, soccer, tennis and reading. Dr. Winchester received his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Logan College of Chiropractic Quotes: "In all throwing sports it all comes down to timing" "We've had an epidemic level of UCL injuries (since the first one in 1974)" "I was awesome at RBI Baseball (Nintendo)" "Ask me about the Cap Boso Slant (Tecmo Football)" "As long as there's Intra-Abdominal Pressure maintained it's ok (lumbar extension)" "If you watch a Little League World Series, none of those kids will be pitching in major league baseball" Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Article Email: [email protected] Website for Pitching mechanics as mentioned at the end of the podcast: Gastal Performance Sebastian's Youtube Channel Attention Docs and Fitness Professionals: Access your client educational products, banners and posters here.

SHOW NOTES Are you a young doc treating patients with back pain, hip pain, groin pain or IT Band Syndrome? Did you know often times patients will be given a misdiagnosis, they hold onto dearly, before they walk into your office? That's right! People are being misdiagnosed… I've done it, you've done it, we've all have done it and it's mainly from lack of knowing what to look for, what to test and what to ask. I was there… I'm still learning everyday. Dr. Michael Fanning DC, came in to chat with me about proper diagnosis. Dr. Fanning and I have a friend in common, Tom Fletcher, who you heard in the last podcast. Some of the topics we covered in this podcast are: IT Band Syndrome vs Lumbar "Pinched Nerve" Radiculopathy Hip Impingement vs Hip Flexor Tendonitis How to use Kettlebells in rehab How to wear pink speedos when biking Dr. Michael Fanning Bio: Michael is a Rhode Island native, OIF Veteran (Operation Iraqi Freedom) and endurance athlete. He is a Chiropractic Sports Medicine resident, and specializes in diagnosis and conservative management of neuromuscular skeletal injuries. He lives in southern California with his beautiful wife Jen, and great dane, Bear. Quotes: "When a Crossfit athlete complains of IT Band Syndrome, I know already they probably don't have IT Band Syndrome" "Stiffness in the morning with IT Band Syndrome is from imbibition (disc fluid increase)" "The L5 nerve goes right over the IT Band location" "It's really important for all trainers to be able to recognize hip impingement" "People with hip impingement may have pain with squatting" Sebastian's Youtube Channel Attention Docs and Fitness Professionals: Access your client educational products, banners and posters here.

SHOW NOTES Dr. Tom Fletcher shares some of his observations about hip pain in endurance populations. Runners, cyclists and triathletes will be interested in this podcast session. Tom and I met years ago, working at an Ironman Triathlon. He is a triathlon junkie himself and is a great example of a treating doctor who gets into the culture of his patients. He practice in Sandy UT, just outside of Salt Lake City. Some of the topics we go into are: Hip Flexor Tightness Upper Quad Tightness Muscle Strains Hip Impingement Hip Labrum Tears Corrective Exercise And what day is the best to have a long ride in Utah. I've known Dr. Tom for years. As you will be able to tell on the podcast we have fun chatting. Dr. Tom Fletcher's Bio: Dr. Tom Fletcher was raised in the Salt Lake Valley with his two brothers by his parents. He attended Brighton high school where he was involved with Rugby and as many Lake Powell trips as possible. After high school Tom moved on to the University of Utah. While at the University of Utah, Tom met his wife Delilah and continued his love for team camaraderie and athletics. It was not till Tom had nagging rugby injuries in college that he then sought out chiropractic care. The rest, as they say, is history. Tom attended Palmer College of Chiropractic West in San Jose, California. While in California, Tom excelled in academics and patient care for a variety of conditions. He was able to further his education by attending post-graduate programs such as Active Release Technique, Graston Technique, and HandsOn Muscle Therapy. California also offered the unique opportunity for Tom to volunteer in many events as a student intern. These events included: Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon, Cal Bearathon Triathlon, Bay Area 24-Hour Bike Race, Nami Walk for Multiple Sclerosis, Los Gatos Ballet, and many more. California also helped Tom develop his love for triathlon. During his first race he thought his lungs were going to explode as he climbed the Berkeley hills. Since then Tom has tried to compete in as many races as time allows. Races such as Stanford Treeathlon, Cal-Poly Triathlon, Wildflower Triathlon, Cal Bearathon, and the San Francisco Marathon to name a few. Upon returning to Utah Tom has continued his athletic and post-graduate academic goals by working with chiropractic mentors to improve his skills in patient-based care. Tom has also had the unique opportunity to work with fellow Ironman triathlon doctors. One of Tom's proudest accomplishments is being on staff with fellow IRONMAN doctors at the IRONMAN World Championship in Kona, Hawaii, IRONMAN Coeur D'Alene, and IRONMAN Arizona.

SHOW NOTES Functional Neurology is a subset of sports medicine, chiropractic and rehab I've been interested in since I interviewed Dr. Erik Reis back in Session 42. I was referred to have on two other docs about topics surrounding Functional Neurology in follow up podcast sessions, Dr. Michael Lovich (45)and Dr Kolby Condos (75). All of them had such great knowledge to bring to the table so I had a great idea…. Let's do a roundtable on Skype! Within this podcast session we go into a few awesome topics such as: - Software/ hardware - What type of people or injuries respond to this? - The neurological mechanisms behind sports training. - Fundamental neurological training exercises to supplement training programs. - Brain-based therapies - Some ideas of how to translate these to on field of in sport - The vestibular system, balance, and why your squats don't translate to on field performance. - Neuro Warm-ups or between periods of movement You won't be disappointed with the content.

SHOW NOTES Benjamin Brown was referred to be a speaker on the show and with most possible interviewees I do a phone call to chat first. Ben's passion for helping people manage their lives through nutrition bled through the conversation so I had to have him on. He will be going over some cases we created to simulate the profiles and goals of some listeners. He also goes into other nutritional advice you may not have heard on the evening news. Case 1: Working Mom 40 YOA, who likes to do yoga and run weekly (distance under 10 miles at a time) Goal: Stay healthy and flexible - Correlated testing? - Blood work? Etc Case 2: 35 Year old male with weekly moderate lifting session. More anaerobic. Goal is strength as they age. Not hypertrophy. Case 3: 50 year Year old male looking to get the body of a 25 year old again. Experiences some lack of energy. Overall in good health but has lofty goals. BLS Nutrition Website Ben Brown's Bio: I'm a health specialist who helps busy women (and men) lose their stubborn body fat for good. I have over 13 years experience in working with clients just like you to help them put in place realistic and easy to implement nutrition, fitness and lifestyle changes so that they can finally feel at home in their body again and get their energy and vitality back. How Do I Know How to Create Lasting Change? If you want to hear about my credentials, here they are: I have 2 masters degrees, one in Clinical Nutrition and the other one in Exercise physiology….but that's not what makes me so successful at getting the results I do for my clients. Don't get me wrong…those two degrees really help me to understand the science behind the results my clients get…but as you know, it's a lot more than that. Losing weight and keeping it off involves a lot more than science. If you have been at this awhile you know it's not all that easy, especially if you are juggling the responsibilities of raising kids and keeping up with a busy lifestyle (which we all are!). I grew up in a household of women (2 younger sisters). I have watched them my whole life struggle with their weight and body image, so I bring a good dose of patience and intuition when it comes to women and their unique struggles with weight. And I have to be honest with you, I have had my own health struggles too. I had severe stomach issues when I was in high school and the doctors put on all kinds of medications that didn't help at all. Add to that the debilitating fatigue I experienced when I was working on my 2nd Masters Degree, had a brand new baby in the house, all while trying to run my own personal training business. There were many times when I'd lost my self-confidence and every aspect of my life was suffering and I just kept making excuses for why I couldn't eat better or exercise more (or at all). But one day I decided to stop making excuses and start making a change. I learned exactly what I needed to do regain my health, my vitality, my confidence, and my abs and all while still managing my day-to-day responsibilities AND committing to my wife and 3 kids.

SHOW NOTES I was introduced to Stephane by another guest I had on the podcast, Ben Brown. Stephane is a master at exercise programming and an extremely educated man in the fitness industry. He just opened a gym around the corner from my office in Huntington Beach CA. I asked him to share his experiences in types of training/exercise, strength training concepts, and some myths of training. Some of the topics we go through are: Why is strength important Goal setting for general population Machine lifting Squats Exercise Programming and Load Reps/ Sets Will you lose your gains if you run after lifting Much more Correlated Videos: Bench Press Video: https://youtu.be/-9jhfo5ClMY Stephane's Bio: Stéphane has spent the last 24 years perfecting his work. He has a strong formal academic foundation, earning a bachelor's degree in exercise science from the University of Montreal. Stéphane recently published his first book, 66 Strategies to Program Design. In his career Stéphane has personally trained professional athletes in football, baseball, and hockey. Here are some of the athletes he worked with from the NFL, MLB and NHL: Steven Jackson, James Butler and Mark Clayton (St. Louis Rams); David Freese, Chris Carpenter and Matt Holliday (St. Louis Cardinals); Dennis Wideman (Calgary Flames) and Mike Green (Washington Capitals). Stéphane's passion is program design.

Quotes: When you're chronically stress, anything can stress your system… including your workout Cutting down on training may be a good thing for you when attempting to lose body fat With pro athletes, I rarely ever recommended snatches The problem is not the weight training exercise, it's how you do the weight training exercise Programming is important but at the end of the day, if you're a coach you need to coach.

SHOW NOTES If you're like most people, you encounter frequent, daily stressors. You're not alone. Did you ever think about taking a physical chill pill rather than numbing your mind/ body? People numb themselves to de-stress, to get away from their thoughts. Some examples of common de-stressing habits: Watching TV Beer/ wine Drugs Kori Strobl (Her Website) explains how she uses her style of yoga to assist with de-stressing. The intention of this podcast was to be a resource to the general public about why they should try yoga, if at all, but the podcast turned into so much more. If you're a clinician and people ask you if they should try yoga, suggest they hear this podcast. Yoga comes in many different forms and the public should be informed of what type is right for them. Some of the questions she answered are: Group classes vs. one on one why? How can yoga improve health/ wellness? What are the different types of yoga? How does one choose? The root origin of yoga… meditation and then positions Kori Strobl Bio: Kori combines the physical postures of yoga (asana) with yoga philosophy and spiritual psychology to create a unique and healing experience for her students. This process is a deeply personal journey toward self-knowledge, self-love, and inner peace. Kori's teaching is inspired by her connection with her Higher Power, whom she refers to as God. As such, her classes, workshops and private sessions are creative, unique and offered humbly with a sense of reverence and humor. Kori Strobl has been a compassionate, loving, and thoughtful teacher for the many students and clients she has worked with over the years. Using her own experiences of overcoming years of depression and healing from what was diagnosed as a "life-long" chronic pain disorder, Kori has inspired others to tap into their own courage and embark on a journey toward self-awareness and healing. Through yoga postures, breath work, guided meditation and direct and insightful dialogue and exercises, Kori encourages her clients to be honest and loving as they discover what has been holding them back in owning and expressing their unique brilliance and heart-centered passion. Come see her in Huntington Beach, just 3 blocks from the pier at HB Yoga Collective. Quotes: "We are dictated by the speed of our minds" "We are constantly chattering our minds" "At the beginning of every class I ask people to remember why they're there" "RE: Purpose - What if me just being me was enough" "The goal/ intention you set turns you into a particular direction… whether the goal gets accomplished or not doesn't matter… the navigation happens in the moment" Sebastian's Youtube Channel Attention Docs and Fitness Professionals: Access your client educational products, banners and posters here.

SHOW NOTES Trying to lose weight but that New Year's Resolution just isn't happening? Jennifer Zerling is on the mic today to share some less known facts about losing weight. Weight loss occurs more rapidly if we can jumpstart our metabolism and high intensity training is the tool for the job. HIITs is the acronym. HIITs can be categorized as a near maximum bout of effort in a small time frame (ie 30 seconds). The break can be short or long, so basically it is undefined, unlike TABATA which has a set work/rest period. Jennifer, aka "JZ," was able to be part of a study in middle schoolers and found a significant change in body composition when subjected to intermittent high intensity training. We talk all about it! As you'll be able to tell we have a lot of fun on this call. JZ's Bio: Jenn Zerling, MS, CPT, known as JZ, has been an athlete her whole life and a fitness and age management expert for over 15 years. She holds a Masters degree in Kinesiology, a Corrective Exercise Specialist credential, a Running certification, yoga 200+ hour certification and many other national certifications. Her Mission: To Help America And The World Break The Chains Of Obesity And Age Well. How is she going to do this? One person at a time, one goal at a time. She holds multiple positions in her field which allow her to meet open minded individuals who are thirsty to evolve. From top world executives, Hollywood producers, athletes, doctors, lawyers, students to you name it. JZ thrives off of helping any individual who is open and ready to make it happen and learn how to optimize their lives. Her "be-who-you-are" philosophy is what sets her apart from people in her industry. Website: https://www.jzfitness.com/ Her Book: Breaking the Chains of Obesity: 107 Tools http://amzn.to/2zezMjD Quotes: "You may not have 30 mins but TABATA is only 4 mins…" "We are built to move in all planes of motion and we gotta move the body way it was built" "Some people don't want to get started with weight loss because of the high number (of mins in a workout)" "Everyone comes to the table with a different level of fitness" "Even 65% heart rate efforts will be productive for deconditioned people… it's a start" Sebastian's Youtube Channel Attention Docs and Fitness Professionals: Access your client educational products, banners and posters here.

SHOW NOTES I was introduced to Jesse Macedo through a mutual friend. We've met in passing at Holiday Parties, Birthdays and Dinner… I've always enjoyed BSing with him about movement so I thought I'd have him on the podcast. I found over the course of our BSing that he really knows his shit! I asked him to assist me in educating the public about painless squatting during knee month and he jumped at the chance. Squatting without shoes Rooting Use of Kettlebells Debunking common squatting myths All of these topics and more are addressed during this podcast session. It's a fun one… you won't be disappointed!

Hey why don't you tell me what happened on rep 6,7, & 8... That gives them a moment to pause and think about what they just did (good or bad rep). If you're inundated with texts, emails or you're thinking about work then that 90% 1RM becomes dangerous. Pay attention to the moment. {to a random gym goer} I see you're doing goblet squats.

SHOW NOTES In this podcast session we are going into how to test athletes for prevention of lower extremity injuries with over 80% certainty. Insane right?! Dr. Kolby Condos is going to talk about testing, movements and correction protocols with biofeedback. What is biofeedback? Funny, it seems to be a rather undefined term as you'll hear on the interview but this isn't a bad thing. Many clinics are doing this already without even knowing it. Studies: Real-time optimized biofeedback utilizing sport techniques (ROBUST): a study protocol for a randomized controlled trial Star Excursion Balance Test Anterior Asymmetry is Associated with Injury Status in Division I Collegiate Athletes Some other topics we hit: STARs Excursion Test The Cerebellum Non-traumatic ACL Injuries Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Mudding Steaks Dr. Kolby Condos grew up in Lyman, WY and attended the University of Wyoming before deciding to become a Chiropractor. He then moved to Bloomington, MN and graduated with his bachelors in Biology and his Doctorate of Chiropractic from Northwestern Health Science University. Dr. Kolby is also a board certified Functional Neurologist, and received his education through the Carrick Institute and the International Association of Functional Neurology and Rehabilitation. He is also well versed in functional medicine and continues to pursuit higher education in metabolic conditions that may affect patients. During his spare time, Dr. Kolby enjoys fishing and being on the lake during the summer and winter months. He also enjoys traveling back to his home state of Wyoming to spend time with his family, working on the family ranch, and hunting and fishing in the mountains.

SHOW NOTES Many of you have spent tons of time with physio bands if you've had a knee injury. In this podcast session, I speaking with Dr. Scott Dunaway, who is all about the band... but also getting beyond it. Rehab exercises, as all exercises, have progression and regressions. Bands are great when they're needed but your rehab should go well beyond the band. Ground contact/ transfer of force Rooting Simulation of the hip and ankle eHealth Coconut Oil Issues These are just a few of the topics we hit. Dr. Scott Dunaway is a chiropractor and owner of ChiroStrength in Clarksville and Nashville Tn. He graduated from Southeast Missouri State University where he majored in Biology and minored in Chemistry and Entrepreneurship. After this, he received his Doctor of Chiropractic degree is from Logan College of Chiropractic. Dr. Dunaway is full body certified in Active Release Technique, which brings most of the treatment focus around the soft tissues themselves and not just the joints. After 3 years in a more traditional chiropractic practice, he shifted his focus toward the concept of Movement as Medicine, specializing in sport rehab and educating clients on the importance of Better Movement quality. This focus in the clinic has shifted to embracing the E-health model as clinician, consultant and educator under the Chirostrength brand though e-books, e-courses, and various social media outlets.

SHOW NOTES I've had my fair share of injuries, trauma and non-traumatic based. I've had what most would call IT Band Pain, Lateral Meniscus tear, Compression Fracture of the lateral tibial plateau. I've been frustrated just like you, my knee injuries limited my baseball, lifting and running. Some treatments I used are: Physical Therapy Synvisc Injection Cortisone Injection Rest Ice H-Wave Active Release Rocktape And much much more. I had some ups and downs but what I found the hardest part of the injury to control was the swelling. The swelling was enough to make me feel like I had a ziplock bag in my knee. I thought about it as I walked, squatted and fell asleep. How did I get over these knee woes? Listen to the podcast and you'll see... Quotes: " Knee injuries, unless from trauma, are not found in isolation." "It felt like an ice pick stabbing my knee.." "I think stiffness around around the knee was helpful to stabilize the knee."

SHOW NOTES I was going to do this session about rehab of hamstring conditions but I received an email from a exercise science student whom asked that I speak about the things I wish I had learned in school or things that I learned in school that changed when I started to see patients. I went with the 9 things I wish I knew about Sports Medicine while in school. You can find the checklist here: https://www.p2sportscare.com/checklists/#72 The list is under the button "School Recap" I wanted to invite everyone to assist me in better communication as I prepare some courses. I've done some in the past that have failed.

SHOW NOTES Brenan Ghassemieh was introduced to me by a good friend, Dr. Cody Dimak (Session 31), as the perfect guy to speak about training responsibility around injuries. Since we've been focusing on hamstring injuries, we kept that as a central focus BUT it's important to realize the body works as ONE UNIT and we can't separate regions in training and rehab. You'll hear this concept of centrality throughout the entire podcast. A few major points/ concepts we come back to are: Hamstring tightness vs the "feeling of tightness" Exercises to train the hamstring that are safe If you're feeling a hamstring "grab" during exercises then it's not normal Training of the hamstring centers around posture, compound lifts and eccentrics Hamstring tightness is not always bad Assessment of an individual starts with observation! Videos Correlated: Everything can be found in this single video Assessments movements to watch: SRDL Goblet Squat Lateral Squat Lateral Wedge Warm-ups or Movement Prep: Lateral Band Crab Walks Lateral Squat (just record once) Rotational Squat Side Bridge Pallof Press Anti-Cops Rotational Chops Curtsy Lunges Transverse Lunges If you're a clinician this is the perfect podcast session to share with that patient who's been asking questions about what they can/can't do in the gym with a hamstring strain. If you're a patient/athlete you need to be examined first and properly diagnosed with the CORRECT condition before you rehab. Movement is everything and often times you need to be cued properly by a professional. Contact Brenan IG: @brenan_ghassemieh Email: [email protected] Sebastian's Youtube Channel for hamstring videos.

SHOW NOTES In this session we are going into some personal accounts of hamstring strains. In school, clinicians seem to get the textbook presentations… then they get out into the real world of healthcare and see all of the uniqueness of people and situations. People are unique… this is why case studies are great. The patient's I'm interviewing are not people I have confirmed have a hamstring injury but I did ask my network of people to find a "hamstring strain" for the interviews. Do we need to know if they are truly hamstring strains or not? No, the takeaway from this session will be that this is what people experience when they "feel they have a hamstring strain." Other possible diagnosis for hamstring region pain are: Lumbar Radiculitis Referred Muscular Pain Sacroiliac joint Dysfunction Inflammatory/metabolic causes Amongst a bunch of other things...

SHOW NOTES Back pain isn't the death sentence you think it is. Majority of people can get better with a little understanding and dedication. Dr. Stuart McGill PhD is a spine biomechanist at the University of Waterloo. Over the years, he has conducted numerous lab experiments on the human spine to figure out how much load it can take, what motions cause it to become injured and more. He's the author of some awesome books, such as Back Mechanic: The Secrets to a Healthy Spine your Doctor isn't Telling You, which was written specifically for chronic low back patients to better understand and resolve their condition. Dr Stuart McGill's Bio: Dr. McGill is a professor emeritus, University of Waterloo, where he was a professor for 32 years. His laboratory and experimental research clinic investigated issues related to the causal mechanisms of back pain, how to rehabilitate back-pained people and enhance injury resilience and performance. This produced over 240 peer-reviewed scientific journal papers, many international awards, and has mentored over 40 graduate students during this scientific journey. I'm honored to have him on this podcast session. Our goal today is to breakdown the common questions patients have about back pain. If you're a healthcare provider you'll know what questions I'm talking about: Should I stretch my back? Is my pain from a disc herniation? How can I overcome a weak back? Why does it hurt when I sit? These are just a few of the topics. Basically this podcast was designed to fit the best spinal hygiene information within an hour and 15 min block. If you're a healthcare provider, share this with your patients. If you're a patient, share this with your doctor or your spouse with back pain.

More can be found at P2sportsCare.com - [Dr. Sebastian Gonzales] So, first off is all low back pain created equal? - [Dr. Stuart McGill]You're starting with the big philosophical questions first, well I'm going to give you probably a big answer on this, with maybe three levels, some logic, some examples. Let me reverse that a tiny bit and say well have you ever heard of non-specific head pain or leg pain, is leg pain created equal, I mean we don't even put up with such a notion, it could be torn knee ligaments, vascular complaint, a cut or whatever, so this notion of back pain, it is so non-homogeneous, and what I mean by that is one person might have back pain because they've got a disc bulge, the next person might have it for an entirely different reason, so starting out with that logic and setpoint, all back pain has a cause, and if we can obtain a specific and precise diagnosis of the pain mechanism, then we can address it appropriately, so is it created equal, right off the top three contrasting examples of back pain come to mind, think of a person who is in their mid-20s, 30s, 40s, say they work sitting at a computer eight hours a day, sitting at the computer for 20 minutes gives them back pain, and yet they can stand up and go for a three or four mile walk and that would be therapeutic, now let's take the next person who is newly retired, and they have more of a stenosis or arthritic mechanism to their back pain, and interestingly enough the precise opposite occurs, walking starts to cause back pain, and sitting down is relieving, and then I can give a third example, let's take a young athletic team, you can take a football team or a baseball team, and when you study the back pain patterns you will see that they form cluster groups, for example one team might have four stress fractures on their roster, in their back, and those stressed fractures were not caused by baseball, it was caused by the strength and conditioning coach, who was getting them to do full range of motion loaded rotations, and eventually caused a spondylitic fracture, and maybe full-blown spondylolisthesis, so each one of those would have a different time course, a different symptom pattern, and really a very different strategy to address them, and as you know in my books, I give many more examples, but there is an example, one is a programming flaw, one is the person who sits and works at a computer for eight hours, and then goes to gym for one hour at night, and basically does a bodybuilding program, and wonder why they still have pain, had they reassessed the programming to really try and create an antidote for the common stresses

SHOW NOTES I recently contacted the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) region director asking for an interview referral for the best person on this topic… her answer was Dr. Seth Myers. I thought it was funny he was the top suggestion because he is also a chiropractor. I thought I was going to be given the contact of someone who only does coaching. Dr. Myers didn't disappoint. Trained under the ideals of Dr. Stuart McGill PhD, he gave some great pointers on how we can address and prevent lower back pain while squatting, deadlifting, snatching and more. Here's some topics we hit: - Assessment - Direction of tolerance or increase symptoms and what it means - Disc and type of injuries - Outcome Measures other than pain - Butt Winking (Spinal Flexion) - Intra-abdominal pressure - Core work and why - How to return to lifting - Fear avoidance Dr. Seth Myer's Bio: "My name is Seth Myers and I am a Sports Chiropractor practicing at JointFit Chiropractic and Sports Medicine Center in Manhattan, KS. I practice with an emphasis in evidence-based medicine and focus on active care. The treatment I provide is focused on empowering the patient and helping them navigate through musculoskeletal issues that are slowing them down in life. I have a masters degree in sports medicine and a handful of other certifications in strength and conditioning (CSCS and USAW to name a few). I have a love for sports, played football for 4 years in college and currently spend most of my spare time doing CrossFit and Olympic style weightlifting. I try to bring the knowledge and experience I have from years of lifting and working out with me in the clinic when treating patients and finding the best path for them on their road to a better lifestyle."

SHOW NOTES I know it sounds boring but it won't be. If you have back pain you must listen to this podcast at least twice. Think of it as a crash course in human anatomy and biomechanics. Why should you want to know about the anatomy when all you want is the pain to go away? Because to gain control of your condition, you need to understand the reason it's occurring. A strong majority of people develop back pain because of their lifestyle. If we change our habits then we change our back pain. Simple (in most cases). You may be thinking, "I have a disc herniation that's causing my pain." That could be true but much of the time the disc herniation was there well before your back pain presented itself… and if you find times throughout the week when you're pain-free then your back pain can be improved! Don't blame the disc, blame the pain triggers… empower yourself and fight for a pain-free life. This podcast will give you the necessary tools you'll need to understand the next two podcast sessions that will be nothing short of amazing! I promise! Here's the correlated GUIDE TO BACK PAIN.

SHOW NOTES In this podcast session, I wanted to share my personal story about low back pain. I developed lower back pain when I was playing high school baseball at the age of 15. It was not overuse related… it was traumatic. The reason I say this is because majority of people's low back pain seems to come out of thin air. Mine was a definite event. The injury put me out of my sport for 8 months, during which I saw a Physical Therapist for 3-4 months, a Massage Therapist, a Chiropractor, an MD, an Orthopedic Surgeon and lastly a Chiropractor specializing in Active Release Technique and Exercise Science. Dr. Ron Higura's office in Orange, CA was my last stop and my reason for working with people today. In this podcast I go over the follow: My Injury Mindset My Rehab My Treatments My Recovery My Strength Training My Mindset today My recover was a process. It took a lot of hard work.

SHOW NOTES After receiving my copy of the Gift of Injury, the story of Brian Carroll's return to powerlifting after a horrific back injury, I asked the two authors to be on the podcast. Brian Carroll and Dr. Stuart McGill blend the worlds of science and powerlifting together perfectly… the moral of the story is that if Brian can feel better and win again then many other people/ weekend warriors/ athletes can overcome their back pain. Here's Brian's bio: Brian Carroll: Brian is a world class powerlifter with over a decade of elite class lifting under his belt. Coming back from a devastating back injury in 2012 that broke multiple bones that most experts said he would never recover from, he has returned to the pinnacle of world class lifting (while 100% pain and symptom free). He is now dedicated to helping others avoid the same mistakes that he made in the past through private and group coaching Brian flew to Dr. McGill's lab in Canada for a full assessment and develop a plan of attack. His goal was to be at the top of his game again… better than before his injury. Dr. Stuart McGill was the right guy to see. Here's his bio: Dr Stuart McGill's Bio: Dr. McGill is a professor emeritus, University of Waterloo, where he was a professor for 32 years. His laboratory and experimental research clinic investigated issues related to the causal mechanisms of back pain, how to rehabilitate back-pained people and enhance injury resilience and performance. This produced over 240 peer-reviewed scientific journal papers, many international awards, and has mentored over 40 graduate students during this scientific journey. The Gift of Injury was born of their experiences/relationship together.

SHOW NOTES Have pain you don't consider an injury but it lingers? Are you strong but constantly experience joint pain? Is your squatting form solid but your back still hurts? This is the podcast for you. Honestly this could be the most ground breaking concept you've ever hear as an athlete, lifter, runner or even health care clinician. I met Dr. Richard Ulm DC in Long Beach this year at the Perform Better Summit, where he was speaking about the concept of Functional Capacity, Functional Gap and Compensation Patterns. The concepts he talks about in this podcast are derived from Vladimir Janda's Lower Cross Syndrome and furthered by the work from Pavel Kolar. Dr. Ulm takes the concepts of both and translates them to high performance movements and the compound movements we use in the gym every day.

SHOW NOTES Why is being strong important? Why do we need "Anaconda Strength?" Why should you put down your morning latte and listen to this at the gym? Dan John, a world renown strength coach and public speaker, goes over these points as my guest today. I first heard Dan speak over 8 years ago at a RKC Kettlebell certification. Simply put, he makes complicated exercise/ movements simple. We spent 2 days learning the Kettlebell Swing, Goblet Squats, the Plank, the Birddog and Turkish Get-up… I was doing them all wrong prior to going. Learning the Birddog was like no other… have you ever done a Birddog that made you sweat? I hadn't… that's because I wasn't creating enough tension. Knowing when to turn tension on and off is important for strength, injury prevention and being able to relax. Dan goes into this concept as well as physical attributes needed to be a healthy, functioning weekend warrior.

SHOW NOTES Did you know there's no pitch count restrictions in youth softball? Baseball has implemented one to protect our youth, so why not softball? If our competitive softball players are going to play so much we should take the necessary steps in the off-season to get them healthy again. Nancy Newell dropped a knowledge bomb on us today. This podcast is a must listen for competitive softball players, softball parents, coaches and strength coaches. She gives a ton of great information on performance and prevention of shoulder pain. Here are just some of the topics: Owning the sagittal plane Put the softball down Get better sleep I wanted her to go more in-depth about an article she wrote about the top 10 offseason priorities for softball players. You can find her article here. Here's a few videos we covered: High Tension Deadbug Standing 1-arm Cable Row Push-Up Half-Kneeling 90/90 ER Holds DB Goblet Squat Anterior Humeral Glide You can reach Nancy through her website. http://nancynewell.com/ She has some awesome blog posts with tips and exercises.

SHOW NOTES Numbness and tingling of the hand, arm, and forearm is an extremely common "injury" for both athletes and non-athletes. I figured we needed to do a podcast session on the upper extremity exclusively and Dr. Fontaine was my go-to-guy. The causes of numbness to the hand range from a pinched nerve in the neck, to Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, to a peripheral neuropathy and much more… each condition is treated slightly different… it all starts with proper diagnosis. Dr. Matt Fontaine walks us through some reasons for paresthesia or loss of sensation into the upper extremity and some common questions. Some topics we cover are: Double Crush Syndrome The meaning of Negative Nerve Conduction Tests How much a nerve should slide Ulnar Nerve https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11466640 Radial Nerve https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16182056 Logic of how to find the location of the trapped nerve Treatment options What's the longest you should wait for the "wait and see" approach Dr. Matt is extremely knowledgeable and successful in treatment of conditions creating loss of sensation.

SHOW NOTES Tim was featured on Session 37 where he went into some really cool tips for engaging the deep core muscles using a balloon breathing technique. Back by popular demand, I interviewed Tim on the fly again about Pilates. What is Pilates? How is Pilates different than Yoga? Does Pilates burn a ton of calories? Differences of Pilates floor work vs machines? Why you shouldn't do selfies, and what is #grind…. enjoy. This was a fun one… he really started to twist the knife on if I look like Paul Rudd or not.

SHOW NOTES In this session I've picked the best questions from the last few weeks and spent 10 minutes or so answering each. Case 1: Hip Pain with Cycling "Hi Doc, I've been doing insanity 4 days a week for over a year plus road cycling, a bit of running and swimming without any injuries thank God. Now it's been 3 weeks I haven't done any sports.. and I planned to start again on next Monday.. but this kind of hip pain (Rectus Femoris Origin Strain) just came to me today.. I didn't hit anything nor anybody hit me.. it just came to me all of a sudden. What causes this? Many thanks in advanced.. Cheers!" Case 2: Ankle Impingement "8 months ago i had a bad ankle sprain which lead to persistent ankle anterolateral impingement which results in slight overpronation and slight valgus heel and hence wrong gait also impair any weight bearing activities...The problem is persistent and no improvement with normal physical therapy exercises. I'm about to go for a surgery of ankle arthroscopy but i want to ask you if you have any new techniques that may release such ankle impingement which is located in a very difficult location inside the ankle joint..This may help me to avoid the surgery. Many thanks for your help" Case 3: Leg Numbness "Is there any natural way to treat numbness from nerve damage that cause pain within the back of the leg running down to foot ankle causing numbness in bottom of foot and toes is there a home natural way of healing back problem that nerve" Case 4: Baseball player with Elbow Pain "I'm a baseball player and I've had this issue since my sophomore year of highschool, it started in the summer when i thought i had tendinitis. I'm now a senior in college and still have this problem. Usually the pain is unbearable and won't go away when i start throwing after not doing so for a few days to a week. Once the season is back into a swing and I'm throwing on a consistent basis it begins to reside, as long as I don't overuse it. I've learned to deal with the pain and to limit my throwing due to never finding a solution. I'm going to give this a try and hope for the best."

SHOW NOTE Sitting will be the death of us. We often times sit for 8-10 hours at work, sit in our car to drive home, and sit to eat dinner. In this day and age, sitting is what most people do throughout their days. In this podcast session, I speak with an ergonomic specialist, Dr. Kevin Christie. He gives some awesome tips on how to sit better and what else we can do to decrease the effects sitting has on our body. Dr. Christie's podcast "The Modern Desk Jockey" https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-modern-desk-jockey/id1139780808?mt=2 targets how we can improve our work life through better ergonomics, posture, mini-breaks and more. In this session, I dig deeper into some tips for your work station at your job and at your house... but this information just scratches the surface of what you will learn from his podcast series. At the very end, he drops some business tips for fellow chiropractors and healthcare providers looking to build their practice. You can reach Dr. Christie at his practice http://www.healthfitchiro.com/ or at his corporate wellness operation.http://www.healthfitcorpwell.com/ His Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/HealthFitCorpWell/ Instagram @drchristie_bocachiro Get his Microbreaks, Ergonomic and Body Awareness cards via email: [email protected] His Chiropractic Marketing Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/modernchiromarketing/

SHOW NOTES In this session I have my first live caller! I have known this person for a long time so I was very blunt about the suggestions. Too bad I can't do this with everyone the first time. He's been suffering from an ankle injury for the past few weeks but can also recall also injuring it in high school (hint possible unaddressed old injury). He also had a past hamstring injury on the same side. The questioning process may seem random in the beginning but this is the history taking process of an exam. Granted I am not looking at him in person but we do get some insight to his corrections through conversation. Highlights: He stretches way too much in comparison to his resistance training, rehab and movement drills Suggestions: Work on trunk stabilization Warm up better Work on acceleration and change of direction drills during the week Add more rehab (local and global stabilization) to his weekly plan Understand the connection between the ankle and the torso/ pelvis more Act like an athlete not a weekend warrior

SHOW NOTES This is a solo podcast today on a few questions I have been asked my opinion on over the last few weeks. It should be fun! Why can't we get grandma to exercise? Age related corrections or suggestions for rehab and exercise. Strength and Conditioning guidelines for youth athletes. How much is too much? The ACSM stance What is an injury vs. pain? How long should a warm up take and what should it entail? From a Sports Medicine point-of-view, warming up will take as long as it needs to. There is not set time, but a well designed warm up should take around 15-45 minutes. Warming up before lifting should address the following: Getting the blood moving Preparation of movement Stabilization of the feet, knees, back, and shoulder girdle Mobilization of the ankles, hips, thoracic spine, glenohumeral joints and the neck Access the show notes.

SHOW NOTES Dr. Justin Dean was nice enough to take time out of his busy work schedule from many time zones away to educate us about running injuries, specifically a foot condition called Plantar Fasciitis. It's important to note that we both used the term "Plantar Fasciitis" loosely in this interview because the term is so loosely used in the the runner world. The term actually means irritation to the structure called the plantar fascia, but most people use it to describe "foot pain." Dr. Dean has been working with high level runners in China for about a year now and has more continuing education than most MDs, PTs, DCs and ATCs. Last year he mentioned he traveled to more than 30 continuing education seminars… most of us do 4 at the most in a year. Listen to this podcast session and learn about a few actionable things you can test and try if you're experiencing foot pain from running. Sorry about the Skype lag we had on this one… China IPs were tricky. Dr. Justin Dean's Website: https://drjustindean.com/ Instagram: @drjustindean

SHOW NOTES Have you ever wondered if you are eating enough protein? How much should you take to lose weight? How about if you are running a marathon? If you are trying to just stay alive? That's right… if you don't eat enough protein you will die. But how much is enough? Andrea Marincovich, a Registered Dietitian, is my guest on the show this week. She will go over all of the numbers and calculations related to having the right about of protein for your lifestyle. Some calculations: Body weight (lbs) / 2.2 x (grams of protein) = daily grams of protein needed Correlated Video: https://youtu.be/zENRhO26xCM For grams of protein: 0.8 = bar minimum 1.7 = distance runner or recovery from significant trauma (breaking the skin) 1.1 - 1.2 = recovery from an "overuse image" 1.1 - 1.3 = Resistance training while improving body image References: MyFitnessPal App Andrea contact information: Facebook [email protected]

SHOW NOTES In this session I go over some question from listener's emails about their own injuries. Case #1 Knee pain after going on a cruise ship Article to read Case #2 Shoulder/ Trap pain with surfing Article to read Case #3 Neck pain after a Crossfit workout None currently Case #4 Knee pain after golf and cycling weekly It will be here when it's live I go into each of these cases and break down some rehab and treatment ideas they could try next. I also go into the probable cause of their pain and some references they could look at.

SHOW NOTES Dr. David Geier is an orthopedic surgeon with a passion for education and prevention. In fact, he wrote a book on the Top 10 injuries in sports history and how they could have been prevented. In this session, we go over ACL injuries, UCL (elbow in throwers) injuries, and Football head injuries. This was one of my favorite interviews yet, the conversation was great and extremely educational. If you're a youth coach or a parent of a young athlete you need to listen to this one.

SHOW NOTES I loved these quotes from Dr. Newton's IG feed so much I had to have him on the show to discuss them in detail: Injuries rarely come from nowhere. There are often plenty of warning signs. We just need to pay attention to them. https://www.instagram.com/p/BRoKTMfh6FU/ Why do we consistently wait for something to break before we address it? https://www.instagram.com/p/BRZSPUwBBiv/ In this session, we go into some signs of a possible injury on the horizon. What can we look for as athletes and how can we address red flags? We also go into the definition of an "injury" and how an "injury" can be present without trauma. Later in the podcast, we hit the topic of free weights vs. machines, stiffness of the hips, core vs. trunk strength and more...

SHOW NOTES Dr Scott Mills breaks it down really easy for you. The shoulder doesn't exist in isolation. The cause of a shoulder injury when jerking, snatching or overhead pressing could be your past ankle injury or your lack of midback motion to name a few. You'll have to listen to hear the rest. We go over some ways to self-assess, drills to improve scapular stability and some other free resources you can use on Youtube. Overall this was a great back and forth, entertaining interview.

SHOW NOTES Max Shank is a strength coach of a rare breed. After looking at his eBook "The Simple Shoulder Solution,", I thought to myself… there's almost nothing else I would add to this program. After speaking with Max on the podcast, I changed my mind… this is pretty complete. Is there more we can add for shoulder rehab and function? Yes, but these are the most bang for your buck exercises, especially when taking into consideration many people will only do 5 minutes of a routine every day. In this podcast, you will learn the fundamentals of what you need to have a healthy shoulder and some tips on what you can do today. Gear on up… this is going to be a good one.

SHOW NOTES Have you ever had an injury to a muscle where the MRI is negative? This is an extremely common and frustrating situation for most people because they feel it could be all in their head… but that's not the case. In 2012, a new classification of muscle injuries came to be. http://bjsm.bmj.com/content/early/2012/10/25/bjsports-2012-091448 In this session, I go over these new concepts and why you should care. We cover functional and structural muscle injuries and how we can apply what we know to make changes to a muscle injury in a matter of minutes some times.

SHOW NOTES BDNF means Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor. Neuroplasticity means the brain's ability to change, in response to an external stimulus… for better or worse. In this session, Dr Michael Lovich helps us understand how we can increase our BDNF production with exercise (and some other ways) to improve healing during the rehab process. I met Dr. Lovich at a seminar in 2017. We talked about some new concepts surrounding rehab over a drink at the hotel bar. It was so interesting I thought we needed to hear more of his concepts on the show. Here's some of his references: Receptors - Perreault et al 2013 https://academic.oup.com/ijnp/article/16/2/477/624474/A-physiological-role-for-the-dopamine-D5-receptor Dopamine and uncertainty - Steinberg et al 2013 http://www.nature.com/neuro/journal/v16/n7/abs/nn.3413.html Dopamine and uncertainty - Nasser et al 2017 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5319959/ Exercise and BDNF - Ferris et al., 2007 http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.464.7574&rep=rep1&type=pdf BDNF and environment - Bekinschtein et al 2011 http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1084952111000887 BDNF and environment - Sun et al 2010 http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/ben/cnr/2010/00000007/00000004/art00001 BDNF and Olive Oil - DeNicolo et al 2013 http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0899900712004303 You can reach Dr. Lovich in his Boston clinic Delta S Functional Neurology at https://www.deltasperformance.com/ and you can email him through his consulting service at [email protected]
