Restoring Human Movement

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. He is very excited to bring a new healthcare model to a highly under-served region of Minnesota.

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. I believe we all should know the general testing, algorithm and rehab series with common injuries… which is why the #1 thing I wish I knew is school was "Proximal Stabilization for Distal Mobility" If you'd like to be part of the course building process please visit this url: https://www.p2sportscare.com/courses/ Sebastian's Youtube Channel for hamstring videos.

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!

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. It's an excellent book packed with examples of loading programs, building tension, and the guy wire system all in an effort to allow Brian's spine to heal before his push to be at the top of powerlifting again. After Brian's recovery he was able to he lifted a 2615lbs total at the 2017 Arnold Sports Festival, claiming the 242lbs class open and overall titles for the 3rd time.

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.

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.

This podcast is intended for sports medicine topics to become easier for patients and athletes to understand. Don't get confused by what your doctor told you in your appointment.

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]

SHOW NOTES The Good Doctor Weinberg MD is on this session discussing common gut/ intestinal issues you will sadly experience one day. These condition are so common you may as well know about them: GERD ( Gastroesophageal reflux disease) Gallstones IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) As promised, here's the links he mentioned: SIBO https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3099351/ FODMAP http://www.ibsdiets.org/fodmap-diet/fodmap-food-list/ You can contact Dr. Ben at http://www.saddlebackmedicalgroup.com/MeetOurDoctors/MedicalStaff/DrBenjaminWeinberg.aspx

SHOW NOTES Dr Silverman is the man to listen to for nutritional advice for... you name the condition… Achilles Tendonitis, Sciatica, Multiple Sclerosis and other sports related injuries. Just look at the alphabet soup after his name and you'll know he has tons of credibility. He has been featured on NBC News, Fox and Friends, and WSJ live to name a few. I'm thankful he took the time to share today on the podcast. Listen for some actionable things you can do today.

SHOW NOTES I have never actually met Dr Reis in person (as of the time of this podcast) but we did come in contact (over email) through a project I was working on. We spoke over the phone one time and I could tell this is someone who could share some valuable information on my podcast. Dr. Reis focuses on improving your function through improving structure and neurology, basically whatever tool is needed. In this podcast session, we focused on some general rehab concepts as well as more specific questioning about It Band Syndrome and concussions. If you have a youth athlete in a contact sport you need to hear this one. One of the doctors he shadowed Dr. Carrick Dr. Ries' reference on Gut and Concussions My reference on the Consensus Statement on Concussion in Sport You can get in touch with Dr Reis here: www.mnfunctionalneurology.com www.mnconcussion.com www.facebook.com/DrErikReis/

SHOW NOTES I realized since I soon will have a good friend/ expert on shoulder rehab on the show, I should set the preface with what the shoulder actually is. Although there are no pictures on this podcast, I strongly suggest you see my entire article on the shoulder at http://www.p2sportscare.com/shoulder-pain-pitching/ . What exactly are we going into this session? We are hitting all of the types of structures of the shoulder such as: the bones, the cartilages, the ligaments, the tendons, the rotator cuff and the "non-rotator cuff" muscles. We also go into the concept of expansion of a rotator cuff tear and how 66% of rotator cuff tears actually do not produce pain. Lastly, I touch on the topic of some light pitching/ throwing mechanics for you overhead athletes out there.

SHOW NOTES After having such a great response to Mike's last interview (Session 27) I thought we should have one specifically on Ultrasound diagnosis and needle guidance for the knee. Mike goes into what knee conditions can be diagnosed beyond reasonable doubt by using MSUS. He also goes into how certain he can be your injection will be in the right location by using Ultrasound Guidance. As I spoke about on the episode here's my article on Musculoskeletal Ultrasound https://www.p2sportscare.com/musculoskeletal-ultrasound/ Here's a link to the video Mike and I put together showing how Ultrasound can assist in diagnosis of your knee condition.

SHOW NOTES You have seen athletic and sports tape everywhere… TV, magazines, social media, on the shoulders of volleyball players, Crossfitters, runners and more. Have you ever wondered what tape is for what? Does the color matter? Would it work for your injury? I have Dr. Davis Koh DPT (http://kohpt.com/) in on this subject. He travels with USA Volleyball and has had extensive experience withf taping. He admitted he is not an expert in all tapes… I feel the same way. We will roundtable answer each type of tape to the best of our ability. Here's our rough outline and links to where you can buy: "Corrective" - Elastic/ stretchy Tapes KT Tape Rocktape Muscle Aid Tape Dicks Supportive Tapes LuekoTape - for Tab Taping Cover Roll for LuekoTape - A must have to protect the skin Athletic Tape and Pre Wrap Compression Tapes PowerFlex Tape Tacky sprays You can find Dr Koh's educational classes here

SHOW NOTES I had an incident that spurred this topic, so if I am fired up I apologize. I recently landed myself onto a public forum to answer some questions posed by fellow weekend warriors. I spent a few hours answering questions to the best of my ability… naturally I thought I could be the best help to everyone by answering the questions on injuries. I answered about 5 questions and within a few minutes I was criticized for posting as a "healthcare professional." Still frustrated, I have not been in that very popular forum since… why? Because, the moderator said healthcare professionals were not allowed to answer as anything but "peers." Odd huh?! Wouldn't you want the advice from a healthcare professional if you had an injury? In this session, I brainstorm where you can still find experts posting and sharing advice if they are not in forums and how you can still find good information on the web. Visit our site for references on this session http://www.P2SportsCare.com.

SHOW NOTES Tim Fleisher and I met years ago at an Ironman Treatment event on Kona HI years ago and we have been friends since. The thing about Tim is he is extremely well-rounded in his knowledge about the human body. He teaches human anatomy at a major university. He instructs for Stott Pilates. He fits bikes for triathletes. He performs Active Release deep tissue work at a college level. But to top it off he is working on his PhD working in a lab finding a possible correlation between the pelvic floor and the piriformis muscle. That's a lot of background. So I wanted him on the show to give us all a comprehensive look at the importance of the hip, pelvic floor and low back, while focusing on triathlete performance and injury. You can reach Tim on his website timfleisher.com or email him at [email protected].

SHOW NOTES I had a listener leave a message for me about their sports hernia. They have been dealing with it for almost a year. They tried therapy 3x a week for month and it never got better. Now he is at the point where they would like to have the sports hernia surgery… but surprise… their insurance won't cover it. They call it "experimental." the going cost is around $10k. This is not a live call but I do my best to give advice. It's tough when we are weighing the dollars and cents of "is it worth it." If you want to know more about Sports Hernia, I have a whole page with current research references here http://www.p2sportscare.com/sports-hernia/

SHOW NOTES Dr. Meghan Helwig is a Doctor of Physical Therapy I met at a seminar a few years ago while in Boston. At the time, I actually had a knee injury I was suffering from so between the sessions I asked her to take a look at it. I was blown away by her troubleshooting ability and how she was about to look beyond the places I hurt. This is what we are going to talk about in this session. Using your past history and past injuries to solve your current hip pain from lifting and/or golfing. Dr. Helwig specializes in both sports and personally takes part in both for her own leisure… all while having a hip labral tear. Awesome! Here is a rough idea of what we covered in the hour: Most common hip injury in lifting and golf LIFE HACK: How to assess your own hip function How treating scars of ligaments can improve your game The process of doing corrective exercise just after treatment Apologies from me... as I want to make sure no certifying bodies think we are bashing them :) You can reach Dr. Helwig at http://www.primalstrengthpt.com/ . Reach out to her if you are in Northern San Diego CA. Her Instagram handle is @primalstrengthdoc. Visit our site for references on this session http://www.P2SportsCare.com.

SHOW NOTES In this session, I go over everything you need to know to interpret what your doctor, physical therapist or sports chiropractor is talking about before rehab of the hip. Communication and common terminology is extremely important for compliance of a treatment plan. Compliance means you will stick to the plan. This sounds like I am treating patients as children and I don't mean that at all, but it's extremely common for people to not value what they don't understand. You need understand why a certain treatment plan is recommended for your condition. It all starts with common terminology. So on that note, we will go through: Anatomy of the hip (bones, ligaments, tendons, muscles) Mechanics of the hip (open and closed chain) Some analogies to assist in your understanding Open and closed chain mechanics If you want to get one of the best books of anatomy, try the Netters Coloring Book http://amzn.to/2m58g2B . It has proven to be very helpful in learning anatomy and very cheap. The Netters larger book is the book 99% of rehab practitioners learn anatomy from in school. http://amzn.to/2mokcir Enjoy!

SHOW NOTES In this session, we start into some physical therapy and rehab concepts for knee conditions plaguing runners. I could have chosen a few physical therapist to answer my questions but Dr. Davis Koh was one of my top picks. To be fair, I would have could have had Dr. Koh speak about many different types of injuries so I will have to have him on again one day. Dr. Koh is a good friend of mine and extremely decorated as a Doctor of Physical Therapy. He has traveled with a few US Olympic teams, treated professional athletes from the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, and so much more. He has much knowledge to share but I tried to pin him down to these two: Runner's Knee (aka Chondromalacia Patella, Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome) Meniscus Tears We will go over what these two injuries are, how they occur, how rehab typically goes, do they need surgery, some treatment available and much more. Dr. Koh also gives us some info on IASTM (Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization). Below are some links some of the tools and sites he suggested. Foam Roller http://amzn.to/2loISrv Lacrosse Ball http://amzn.to/2molnyq IASTM Tools http://amzn.to/2mojaD0 Graston Website http://www.grastontechnique.com/home IASTM Reference http://kohed.com/find-a-practitioner/ You can find Dr. Davis Koh DPT at http://kohpt.com/ Visit our site for references on this session http://www.P2SportsCare.com.

SHOW NOTES Dr. Dimak was one of my top picks to talk about this concept with. Quality of motion can create injury. It can be the build up to the "straw that broke the camel's back." Poor motion can create injuries of the back, hip, knee, foot and ankle… just to name a few. Dr. Dimak and I go through some concepts about how to sit properly, how to breath, and how relaxing can relieve some painful conditions.

SHOW NOTES In this session, I interviewed James. James was a patient of mine and we still talk/ have lunch to catch up. I've always found him to be a great person and inspiring, especially for how many health conditions he has. In this interview, we go into his story, books he has read, people he's seen, how he is doing now verse over the years and more. Although you may not have issues with Leaky Gut, Irritable Bowel and Acid Reflux, I think you should listen to this one anyways. James is a great storyteller and an overall nice dude.

SHOW NOTES In rehab and treatment of sports injuries there are so many types of "techniques." Doctors, Physical Therapists, Chiropractors and Massage Therapists go to certification class to learn these techniques and sometimes overuse the techniques. This actually happened to me. In this podcast, I go through my growth as a healthcare provider and how I realized how a technique is only 1 tool in a toolbox. I did a podcast about this in my dark ages when I had no real mic and terrible audio. I think this is such valuable information I wanted to do it again from a fresh point of view. I have grown over the last few years so I think my point of view has changed slightly as well. Visit our site for references on this session http://www.P2SportsCare.com.

SHOW NOTES Roy is a good friend and colleague of mine who I have had on the show before, way back before I really committed keeping the show going. Roy has an extremely logical way of thinking of training for function, not just aesthetics. In this session, Roy shares what's built within a fitness program/ workout other than just getting a 6 pack. He says he programs this way because he mainly works with golfers who have the goal to play better, hit harder and prevent injury. We also go into the concept of co-managing clients with doctors and skills coaches, which we both can credit TPI (Titleist Performance Institute) for teaching us. Stay till the very end and he gives us some life hacks on fitness. Contact Roy at http://roykhouryfitness.com/ Visit our site for references on this session http://www.P2SportsCare.com.

SHOW NOTES If you have spoken with me personally about clinical topics over the last 4 years you would know I love Musculoskeletal Ultrasound (MSK or MSUS). In fact, I bought one for my clinic and unlike many doctors who would buy it to have someone else take the images, I actually learned how to do it. Why? Because it was so cool! I could actually see exactly what I was treating or I would see what cases I needed to refer out. I was and still am blown away by how detailed MSK is. Mike was the guy who taught me. He recommended I start with the Jon Jacobson Book on Ultrasound. You can find that here http://amzn.to/2moiQEq MSK is a very underused but very accurate method of imaging injuries. Do you have a shoulder, knee, ankle, hip or groin injury? Can't get access to an MRI? Desperate to see what's wrong? Ultrasound can see a rotator cuff tear, meniscal tear, or a tendonitis within a minute or 2. Learn all about it here. Here's is the extensive article I wrote on Musculoskeletal Ultrasound through this link https://www.p2sportscare.com/musculoskeletal-ultrasound/ Contact Mike Jablon at http://orthopedicultrasound.net/index.html Visit our site for references on this session http://www.P2SportsCare.com.
