In this episode of the CCU Podcast, I speak with Joel Proskewitz. Joel Proskewitz is a spinal rehabilitation specialist. He deals primarily with mechanical neck and low back pain and has a special interest in pre/post spinal surgery patients. He is one of only two people in the world to teach for Professor Stuart McGill (Head of spinal biomechanics, University of Waterloo) and travels the world extensively teaching and sharing his experience, understanding and rehabilitation of the human spine to a mix of clinicians, spinal surgeons, and associated professionals. He is the only non-physician to be a permanent member of an elite spinal medical team in London, UK and works closely with surgeons, pain consultants, rheumatologists, and radiologists. He regularly presents and contributes towards complex spinal cases with his medical team. Joel has had 7 spinal surgeries himself, so fully understands the rehabilitation journey, both physically and mentally and draws from this experience to assist his patients in the ultimate hope of empowering them to look after their own spine.
We discuss:
- Personal training in South Africa to Professor and rehab clinician in London, UK
- Linking up with Stuart Mcgill and being a spinal rehab guy
- Biomechanics vs. pain science and the limitations of the medical field
- The impact of empathy and communication on rehab outcomes
- Balancing the hats of a professor, clinical responsibilities, and client service
- Building PerformanceRx and The SpineXchange
- Abandoning social media
- Humility, making mistakes and gaining experience
