Restoring Human Movement - For the Outdoor Lovers

WORKSHOP DETAILS   SHOW NOTES   A common conversation I have with my patients is WHY I'd like them to MODIFY some of their weightlifting or ADD resistance training into their exit plan from my care. Typically this is about a 30 min conversation that's always rushed because I have other patients waiting and honestly it's more than I like to share within them early in care. I would like them to focu...

WORKSHOP DETAILS   SHOW NOTES   The shoulder labrum is a common structure of the shoulder that is blamed for shoulder pain, especially with throwing athletes. A listener brought to my attention that it is a diagnosis I have not covered in detail. In a coming episode, I plan on interviewing someone with a shoulder labral repair to hear exactly what occurred and what it took to recover. Docs: Please...

"Don't Be A Liability" Fitness Goals w/ Jesse Prescott LMT SHOW NOTES   Sebastian's Book: I Will Beat Back Pain   I met Jesse Prescott LMT in the airport on my way to a workshop in Phoenix. We walked around and talked for a good 4 hours! Crazy right! It was great conversation that should have been recorded, so here's a second attempt. He's a massage therapist out of Flagstaff AZ. If you're up that...

You can find their show on iTunes, as well as all of the other fancy places you all like to hear podcasts. Enjoy! SHOW NOTES   Clinically Pressed Website On iTunes   . . . . Sebastian's Youtube Channel Attention Docs and Fitness Professionals: Access you...

SHOW NOTES   Sebastian's Book: I Will Beat Back Pain   That free PDF I mentioned   Getting out of school and starting a business can be challenging. I've done it myself and have learned a few things along the way. Allow me to share some of my thoughts on: forms, websites, EMRs, online scheduler, phones, weights for loading, business cards, systems, analogies, elevator speeches, conversation skills...

SHOW NOTES   Sebastian's Book: I Will Beat Back Pain   In this episode, I cover my weekend at Fix Your Own Back (FYOB) put on by Dr Phillip Snell out in Phoenix, AZ. This was my second time to this workshop. The first time was amazing, but as expected, I learned less the second time around… HOWEVER I did learn quite a bit at dinner, the airport and after the workshop from the attending clinicians....

SHOW NOTES   Sebastian's Book: I Will Beat Back Pain   In this episode, I'll reflect on a few "Ah-Ha" moments I've had over the last 126 episodes that changed the way I practice, the way I engage with my patients and my overall philosophy of rehab as a whole. I've grown a lot over the past few years of interviews so I thought I would share. Thank you for all of the support, texts, DMs and emails e...

SHOW NOTES My website is a beast. It helps me acquire new patient (I'd estimate around 90% of my patients), educates my patients so they are willing to pay cash for their care, streamlines my patient on-boarding process and cuts down phone calls and random ticky tack emails. I am able to walk out of the office with less things on my mind! Today I'll walk you through my journey of website developme...

SHOW NOTES   In this episode, Miguel Aragoncillo chats with me about how we can use the environment as a way to "discover movement" like dancing, jumping, squatting and much more. The use of the ground, wind, and visual surroundings are just a few ways were we can challenge our bodies (and brains) to "feel" movements. The results are a better understanding of how your body moves and how to calibra...

SHOW NOTES   Today I interview Dr. Jefferson Chen MD PhD about ground level falls in elderly, potential causes and the aftermath. I was introduced to Dr. Chen by a good friend and was honored to give a short presentation on gait retraining at his Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH) Support Workshop. His patients love him and they had great stories to share. He has a passion for patient education o...

SHOW NOTES   BUY THE BOOK "I WILL BEAT BACK PAIN"   Over the last year, I've been writing a book on the topic of low back pain. I'm proud to say it's unlike any other book on back pain available. There are no exercises. There's no stretches.   It focuses on one thing… getting yourself mentally back into a WINNING mental mindset for the recovery to take hold. If you're like me, I have loved ones wi...

SHOW NOTES   BUY THE BOOK "I WILL BEAT BACK PAIN"   One common misconception our patients have about exercise is that's just a "bonus in life." It's not a requirement to feel good and look good. They often times don't see the carry over of various forms of exercise to life situations (lifting weights, body weight exercise or cardiovascular exercise). Examples: Squatting = sitting down, toilet time...

SHOW NOTES   Guido Van Ryssegem is a badass. If you haven't heard of him before, you may have heard of some of his contributions to the healthcare-fitness world. Just to name a few, Nick Winkelman studied under him and has become wildly popular. The sleeper stretch for throwers was a Guido invention. I was fortunate to attend Guido Attractor State and Dynamic Systems Theory Workshop and I can say...

SHOW NOTES BUY SEBASTIAN'S BACK BOOK  Grant Elliott is a student of chiropractic at Logan College of Chiropractic (in term 7 of 10 at the time of this recording). I wanted to have him on the show because of the amazing, high quality content he has been producing for social media (Instagram and Youtube). Being a content creator, I know how hard it is to get going and how crappy most of our first ef...

SHOW NOTES   Why do you still have tightness within certain muscles regardless of how much you stretch, roll or massage? Perhaps we should be asking the deeper questions of why the muscles are tight in the first place. What are they working so hard to do? What are they compensating for? In this podcast, I go through three cases I've had come through my clinic over the last few months. I go through...

SHOW NOTES   Tight hamstrings are a chronic issue for many runners and lifters. What creates the sensation of a "tight hamstring" when you can actually touch your toes? Are the hamstrings really tight or do they just feel tight? Did you have a "pop" occur in the hamstring region? Did it bruise? Does your back hurt? In this podcast, I asked my serial co-host (Dr. Cody Dimak DC) to have a discussion...

SHOW NOTES   Dr. Cameron Marshall was recommended to be on the podcast by a listener. Thank you Mark for suggesting! We're going to cover all things concussion and the great part about having Dr. Marshall speak is that he breaks things down extremely well. He takes complicated concepts and puts them in very simple, but accurate terms, so if you're not a medical person you'll still get a ton of inf...

SHOW NOTES   A few weeks back a ballroom dance coach, Ikaika Dowsett, reached out to me for an interview on his podcast. During the hour, we had a great conversation and I realized he has a lot of information to share with clinicians about the ballroom dance world. One realization I had in the conversation was that cueing motion and goal setting is a challenge in rehab, dance and many other moveme...

SHOW NOTES On by popular demand, Dr. Perry Nickleston DC from Stop Chasing Pain! If you've never heard Dr. Perry's content, you're in for a special treat. He's a great conversationalist and amazing at typing together human body systems. You'll be entertained, and enlightened in this session… I know I was! In the first section, we cover a bit of Dr. Perry's story: How he came to think of the body h...

SHOW NOTES Recently at my old chiropractic college, I presented on how I've use Youtube to grow my business. If you don't know already, I started my practice from scratch, had no employees for 4 years and used Youtube as a way to duplicate topics of discussion, exercise instruction and more. I needed to automate part of myself and these entry level conversations/ topics were a great place to start...

SHOW NOTES   Dr. Kevin Christie DC, from the Modern Chiropractic Marketing Show has been on my podcast before speaking about a very different topic than we'll be covering today. Today we're all about educating the young and "newer" chiropractors about how to ethically market their services to the public. Physical therapists you many get some times from this episode too! In my first 5 years of prac...

SHOW NOTES   Working in the same facility as Allie Christensen over the last few months, it's been amazing to see the WAY she works with her young dancers. As a past professional dancer who was forced to stop due to repeated hip injuries, she refocused her efforts to assist young dancers to get to a professional level, without all of the pain that she went through. Some topics she addresses daily...

SHOW NOTES Over the past month, I had a few amazing cases come into my office. These cases were classic, in that I've seen a lot of them, but they're often times odd for the patient to understand. The correction was not even remotely close to the area of pain. These three cases made me wish I had more content to assist the public in their understanding of other possible reasons why their son or da...

SHOW NOTES Garrett Wood, licensed massage therapist, reached out recently on Instagram about being on the show or at least having an LMT on an interview. I've never interview a massage therapist so I thought… why not! After looking at Garrett's Instagram posts, I couldn't help but think "there's more to this guy than just massage." Pain is a very complex, multifactorial topic. Garrett takes us thr...

I had a listener email a great question. He asked if I ever planned on addressing some of the concerns of active seniors. The 65+ group how wants to stay active as they were when they were younger. I'm sure many of you know people like this… those older guys and girls who were complete badasses at their sport when they were younger and now they just want to keep active and participating in sports,...
