Restoring Human Movement

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

I had the opportunity to speak to Dr. Andy Galpin PhD on the podcast recently. I thought his point of view as researcher would be extremely informative to clinicians like myself, that claim to be an "evidence-based provider." Are we actually practicing what the evidence shows? Should we only practice what the evidence shows? These are just a few of the touch points Dr. Gaplin covered for us today. You'll love this informative conversation if you're a Doctor of Chiropractic, Physical Therapist, Exercise Science student, Rehab Specialist, or "Evidence-Based Practitioner." Show Notes HERE Dr. Andy Galpin's Bio: Director of Education: Andy is a tenured Professor in the Center for Sport Performance at CSU Fullerton. He was born and raised in beautiful Rochester, WA and is a die-hard Seahawks, Huskies, & Mariner fan. RIP Sonics. As a youth, Andy played every sport at his disposal, excelling at Football, Basketball, Baseball, and Track & Field. While not playing, he worked at grocery stores, gas stations, hay fields, blueberry farms, and in the road construction business. It was during this time he discovered Strength & Conditioning. Andy took his limited talents to Linfield College to join their Football team and pursue a degree in Exercise Science. While he experienced great success in both (2004 National Championship and 2x Captain and immediate inductee into the "All Ugly" Team), the true reward of this time was the meeting of lifelong friend (Doug Larson). The two fed each other's pursuit of knowledge of human performance and led them to attend the University of Memphis for the Masters degrees in Human Movement Sciences. A bit of luck and excellent faculty mentoring led Doug and Andy to meet Mike Bledsoe and the man formally known as "Barbell Buddha" Chris Moore - all of which later led to the creation of the #1 Health & Fitness Podcast in the world Barbell Shrugged. It also marked the start of Andy's competitive Weightlifting (culminating in his 7th Place finish in the 2007 National Championships), Mixed Martial Arts, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu careers. Needing to know more about muscle, Andy spent 4 years studying the structure and function of human skeletal muscle at the single cell level, a feat which earned him a PhD in Human Bioenergetics in 2011. This also resulted in the friendship with frequent collaborator Dr. Jimmy Bagley and the ability to open up his own "Biochemistry and Molecular Exercise Physiology Laboratory" at CSU Fullerton. He now focuses his attention on teaching classes (Sports Nutrition, Exercise Physiology, Designing Exercise Programs, Applied Strength and Conditioning, Athlete Assessment and Measurement, etc.) and running the BMEP lab (which studies the acute responses and chronic adaptations of human skeletal muscle in response to high force/velocity/power and fatiguing exercise from the whole body, down to the individual muscle fiber and even into the individual DNA. The team does this by taking muscle biopsies from non-athletes and elite athletes from different backgrounds (e.g. normal college student, MMA fighter, Boxer, Weightlifter, etc.) and use highly sophisticated laboratory techniques and equipment to address questions about single fiber "type", size, function, protein quantity, diameter, mitochondria, and myonuclear function. You can get all of our published research here. At heart, Andy is simply a story-teller and teacher.

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

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

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

SHOW NOTES If you've spent time on Instagram, you may not know Dr. Aaron Horschig DPT by name, but you probably follow his profile. Squat University! Dr. Horschig was a pleasure to have on the show. He's a very knowledgeable, personable doctor and if my family lived in Kansas City MO, I'd send my mother, father and the brother I never had to him for care. His treatment style makes complete sense. Very logically and targeted at reduction of the CAUSE of pain. Listen to the Dr. Aaron's podcast interview. We go over a variety of topics that will assist you in exercising, and living a pain-free life for years to come. Here's a few of the topics: The exercise is not an exercise, it's movement pattern Squat Assessment Budweiser Ultrasound Therapy Public Speaking Skill Development Full joint range of motion daily Self Publication Hip Impingement Quotes: The Squat is not just an exercise, it's a movement first. You have to be a "puzzle solver" as a clinician. Not using our body as designed can increase injury potential. Master movement quality first, then your potential to perform grows. The quality of your movement sets you body's foundation Squat University Website The Squat Bible (affiliate link) Dr. Aaron Horschig Bio: Dr. Aaron Horschig is a physical therapist, strength & conditioning coach, speaker and writer.

SHOW NOTES In this podcast, I thought I'd do some casual, conversational stories because as I listened to the past few solo sessions, I realized something… I've been staying "um" way too much! I want to break myself of that, so I'll just roll with a few fun story style this time. These are stories about clinical practice, a few "A-ha moments," and some fun days I've had at work with some great patients of mine. In the future, I'm going to do way better at the "ums."

I thought I should take this opportunity in SESSION 100 to highlight the best of the best of the last 99 episodes and share some of my experiences in making this podcast for you all. To be honest, the show is still evolving, I'm still evolving and the direction of the show is changing slightly. Since I don't make my living through being a podcast host, producer and promoter, I have fallen short on some organization aspects that are needed to make a podcast explode. I lose my direction many times when I am chatting on air… in the next 100 episodes, I plan on making the show a 2.0 version for y'all. A few of the improvements I'll personally be making an attempt to change are: Less "ums" More joking Digging deeper into the reason why guests think they do Getting the information from guest that other podcast interviewers left on the table My focus will be better and I'll become more loose with some of my jokes/topics. I think this show be as entertaining as it is educational. Enjoy the ride and please share the show if you what it to continue for another 100 episodes.

SHOW NOTES I've had a few Calf/ Ankle/ Foot issues over the year, some from running and one from trauma. The largest ankle tendonitis I've ever had was from dropping glass on my inner ankle. The glass incident left me unable to put weight on my ankle for almost a month! As I've come to find out, many people listening to the podcast and digging through my articles have been struggling with chronic ankle tendonitis, Achilles Tendonitis, Plantar Fasciitis, old ankle sprains and more. The podcast interview I did with Dr. Tom Michaud DC is a bit too technical for lay public so this is my attempt to clean up some verbiage. To better assist everyone through their biggest question…. "Why does my ankle hurt and when will it get better?" I've created a free course and paid manual (not live just yet) on everything I do in my clinic to assist others in treating and rehabbing ankles and feet. Healthcare professionals, I've included some clinical reasoning that may assist you in your treatment of Calf/ Ankle/ Foot issues. I don't claim to know everything and I'm not the smartest person I've ever met, but I feel this podcast and course will provide huge value to those who test the system I've laid out. Here's a few of the concepts I go over in this podcast ( elaborated on extensively in the eCourse): The 3-Step Process to Calf/ Ankle/ Foot Recovery "MAP a Load" Rehab System The Hierarchy of Human Motion Four General Theories Of How To Guide Your Ankle/ Foot Treatment 7 Specific Theories I Use During Clinical Reasoning to Develop a Corrective Exercise Program In case you're wondering why I say "Calf/ Ankle/ Foot" than a specific diagnosis, it's because the region works together and rehab for one condition may be very similar to what we do for another… it all comes down the what the person, as an individual, responds to. Some of the types of conditions this podcast covers are: Plantar Fasciitis Achilles Tendonitis Achilles Tendonosis Nerve Referred Ankle/ Foot Pain Peroneal Tendonitis Neuromas Metatarsal Stress Fracture Heel Pain Opt into the free course. https://www.p2sportscare.com/courses-list/ References: Vele's Forward Lean Lateral Wedge Crossover Wedge Podcast interview with Dr. Tom Michaud DC Enjoy!

SHOW NOTES Dr. Bobby Maybee DC, was introduced to me through another guest, Dr. Kevin Christie. Through a series of emails, we came to a rough podcast topic... "How we (clinicians) can communicate to patients in a simple, empathetic and clear way." As we started to record, it became clear to me that Bobby was great storyteller… and although he gave some great tips, I think the biggest take away was the WAY he conversed with me. My experience, clinically and socially, is that many people's attention is better held with a story, analogies and similes. This podcast interview with Bobby Maybee ran longer than expected but as always, the best nuggets are at the end. STUDENT DOCTORS: This interview is golden as you're getting through your first year of business. Bobby thank you for everything you do and thank you for spending the time speaking to my audience! Sebastian Bobby Maybee Bio: "Originally from San Luis Obispo, California, Dr. Maybee brings a bit of that laid back coastal California charm to his practice. He moved to Portland, Oregon over seventeen years ago to attend Western States Chiropractic College. His desire to become a chiropractor was first discovered after suffering an injury serving as a medic in the US Air Force. When not striving to keep his patients happy and healthy, he's enjoys the outdoors, his black lab Jett, relentlessly chasing Pacific Northwest steelhead and salmon, and spending time with his (rather large) family. Dr. Maybee believes that getting to the cause of a condition is important. He also believes that healing and recovery is a team effort, not just between teams of doctors, but doctors and patients as well. Self reliance and self determination are recurring themes in the clinic, because as a patient, you don't have your health until you own it yourself." https://www.forwardthinkingchiro.com/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/221895731353204/?ref=bookmarks Sebastian's Youtube Channel Attention Docs and Fitness Professionals: Access your client educational products, banners and posters here.
