This week we're back for round 2 with Brian Carroll. You should definitely go back and listen to our first episode with him before you dive into this one.
We brought Brian back to ask a variety of follow up questions, some our own and some provided by you guys in your responses to the initial episode. The most frequent piece of feedback we got was about his interpretation on MRIs. We get to that a little later in the episode, so stick with it.
Other topics for this discussion include the psychology of recovering from injury, the complexity of the relationship between pain and injury, and for our video viewers he even breaks out some spine models to demonstrate a few of the concepts he discusses.
He mentions Michael Shacklock and neurodynamics a few times, if you want to learn more about that check out their page.
He also mentions a few videos they're making about MRI interpretation, here are links to the first two:
"MRI Case Study: Why They Matter and Why They Don't Tell the Whole Story"
"Does Your MRI Tell the Whole Story?"
Brian also asked that we include the following clarification in response to his exchange with Alex about Elon Musk's role in SpaceX engineering (this is copied directly from Brian's email):
"Elon Musk actually does design rockets and create technology for various aspects of rocket science and aerospace advancement. He oversees engineering and development projects for SpaceX yet only holds bachelor degrees in both economics and engineering from the University of Pennsylvania. He began (but did not complete) a PhD program at Stanford before launching PayPal etc, he lasted 2 days in the program. He credits mentors and reading many books and studies, as have I with MRi's. "
