 SHOW NOTE Sitting will be the death of us. We often times sit for 8-10 hours at work, sit in our car to drive home, and sit to eat dinner. In this day and age, sitting is what most people do throughout their days. In this podcast session, I speak with an ergonomic specialist, Dr. Kevin Christie. He gives some awesome tips on how to sit better and what else we can do to decrease the effects sittin...

SHOW NOTES In this session I have my first live caller! I have known this person for a long time so I was very blunt about the suggestions. Too bad I can't do this with everyone the first time. He's been suffering from an ankle injury for the past few weeks but can also recall also injuring it in high school (hint possible unaddressed old injury). He also had a past hamstring injury on the same si...

How long should a warm up take and what...

SHOW NOTES  Dr. Justin Dean was nice enough to take time out of his busy work schedule from many time zones away to educate us about running injuries, specifically a foot condition called Plantar Fasciitis.   It's important to note that we both used the term "Plantar Fasciitis" loosely in this interview because the term is so loosely used in the the runner world. The term actually means irritation...

SHOW NOTES Have you ever wondered if you are eating enough protein? How much should you take to lose weight? How about if you are running a marathon? If you are trying to just stay alive?

SHOW NOTES I loved these quotes from Dr. Newton's IG feed so much I had to have him on the show to discuss them in detail: Injuries rarely come from nowhere. There are often plenty of warning signs. We just need to pay attention to them. https://www.instagram.com/p/BRoKTMfh6FU/   Why do we consistently wait for something to break before we address it? https://www.instagram.com/p/BRZSPUwBBiv/   In...

SHOW NOTES Dr Scott Mills breaks it down really easy for you. The shoulder doesn't exist in isolation.

You'll have to listen to hear the rest.   We go over some ways to self-assess, drills to improve scapular stability and some other free resourc...

SHOW NOTES Max Shank is a strength coach of a rare breed. After looking at his eBook "The Simple Shoulder Solution,", I thought to myself… there's almost nothing else I would add to this program. After speaking with Max on the podcast, I changed my mind… this is pretty complete.   Is there more we can add for shoulder rehab and function?   Yes, but these are the most bang for your buck exercises,...

SHOW NOTES Have you ever had an injury to a muscle where the MRI is negative?   This is an extremely common and frustrating situation for most people because they feel it could be all in their head… but that's not the case.   In 2012, a new classification of muscle injuries came to be. http://bjsm.bmj.com/content/early/2012/10/25/bjsports-2012-091448   In this session, I go over these new concepts...

SHOW NOTES I have never actually met Dr Reis in person (as of the time of this podcast) but we did come in contact (over email) through a project I was working on. We spoke over the phone one time and I could tell this is someone who could share some valuable information on my podcast.   Dr. Reis focuses on improving your function through improving structure and neurology, basically whatever tool...

SHOW NOTES I realized since I soon will have a good friend/ expert on shoulder rehab on the show, I should set the preface with what the shoulder actually is.   Although there are no pictures on this podcast, I strongly suggest you see my entire article on the shoulder at http://www.p2sportscare.com/shoulder-pain-pitching/ .   What exactly are we going into this session?   We are hitting all of th...

SHOW NOTES After having such a great response to Mike's last interview (Session 27) I thought we should have one specifically on Ultrasound diagnosis and needle guidance for the knee.   Mike goes into what knee conditions can be diagnosed beyond reasonable doubt by using MSUS. He also goes into how certain he can be your injection will be in the right location by using Ultrasound Guidance.   As I...

Does the color matter? Would it work for your injury?   I have Dr. Davis Koh DPT ( http://kohpt.com/ ) in on this subject. He travels with USA Volleyball and has had extensive experience wi...

SHOW NOTES I had an incident that spurred this topic, so if I am fired up I apologize. I recently landed myself onto a public forum to answer some questions posed by fellow weekend warriors. I spent a few hours answering questions to the best of my ability… naturally I thought I could be the best help to everyone by answering the questions on injuries.   I answered about 5 questions and within a f...

This is not a live c...

SHOW NOTES   Dr. Meghan Helwig is a Doctor of Physical Therapy I met at a seminar a few years ago while in Boston. At the time, I actually had a knee injury I was suffering from so between the sessions I asked her to take a look at it.     I was blown away by her troubleshooting ability and how she was about to look beyond the places I hurt.   This is what we are going to talk about in this sessio...

SHOW NOTES   In this session, I go over everything you need to know to interpret what your doctor, physical therapist or sports chiropractor is talking about before rehab of the hip. Communication and common terminology is extremely important for compliance of a treatment plan.   Compliance means you will stick to the plan.   This sounds like I am treating patients as children and I don't mean tha...
