More Train, Less Pain; Engineering the Adaptable Athlete

Michelle and Tim are back! After a long and eventful hiatus, the dynamic duo return. And this time, they’re on a very specific, season-long quest. A quest to learn (and teach) all they can about maintaining- and even improving- fitness in the context of chronic/persistent pain. During this first episode, they delve into the “why” behind this season’s motif, common misconceptions about chronic/persistent pain, and some actionable insights into treating, training, and managing clients that have musculoskeletal pain that simply refuses to abate.

We have all heard the phrases, “just get stronger”, “conditioning will kill your gains”, “breathing is the only thing that matters”, “machines are the only way to lift”, “you have to get neutral before you lift”. Where do these extreme viewpoints come from and how do they influence the Physical Therapy and Fitness industry? Join Michelle and Tim as they dive into the Thesis-Antithesis-Synthesis Model of how we get HOOKED on a new industry opinion.  Show Notes:  David Grey Mike Boyle Joel Smith Pat Davidson Erik Huddleston Postural Restoration Institute Mike Camporini Eric Schmidt  David Grey Episode #2 with Joel Smith Connect with Michelle & Tim: Instagram @dr.michelleboland @tim_richardt_dpt MTLP is sponsored by ANCORE.

If you think that all movement needs to be improved via laying-on-the-ground positional breathing drills, think again. There are myriad ways to improve a client’s movement to improve fitness outcomes while sidestepping pain, and our guest today is an expert in ‘em all. Join Michelle and Tim as they sit down with Lance Goyke, remote trainer, site developer, and content marketer extraordinaire! They discuss the absolute joy that training Tim was (for both Lance and Michelle), how to approach training and fitness when dealing with chronic and persistent pain, improving position and movement with local muscular endurance and systemic conditioning work, and navigating the thorny world of developing an online presence as an up-and-coming trainer.  Lance is a truly unique mind when it comes to bridging the seemingly disparate gaps between anatomy, biomechanics, psychology, marketing, and technology.
