It's Not That Deep Podcast

This week, I chat with Dr. Jon Steen, founder of FORTIS Spine & Sport where he utilizes cutting-edge and innovative techniques that focus on sports performance optimization and functional movement rehabilitation that he applies to professional athletes in the NFL, CFL, NHL, Team Canada and much more!   With over 18 years of experience in the health industry, Dr. Steen currently focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of his patients’ neuro-muscular dysfunction. His process involves the use of orthopaedic and functional testing including a mix of neuro-functional acupuncture, Active Release Techniques (ART), instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization, joint manipulation, and corrective exercises.   We had a really interesting conversation about sports and overcoming/rehabilitating injury, taking a whole-body/mind systems approach to rehab, as well as why your breathing, sleep, nutrition, and exercise regiment play a MASSIVE role in recovery. We talk about why his practice is different than traditional chiropractors as well as some practical tips for biohacking the body to live your best life.   I really enjoy bringing this kind of content to you, but I need your help taking it to the next level.
