The Biz Body Podcast

Pain!!!! Our first look at pain and how it is related to control and motion. When you label and understand shoulder motions, you can begin to see what others don't. Spend the time to observe what is happening so you can make critical decisions with clients that have multiple problems.   Help them to progress instead of decline. Enjoy.

When your shoulder hurts it makes you wonder? What did I do? Sometimes, it seems to hurt for no reason.   Other times.... "I know what I did." However, you would be surprised to know how many people are walking around with tears that don't even know it.   No pain, no problems. This is an exercise perspective on rotator cuff tears, surgeries and recovery timeline.   Also, what does recovery mean?  ...

Tissues involved 5. Exercise Considerations Post Physical Therapy 6. Skill and Performance post injury 7. What may have lead to a "non-contact" injury    All of which can lead to different training considerations...

Control of your body is gradually lost over time.   Exercise is the practice of retaining or even augmenting your control.   Yet it takes attention.   Just like any relationship.   If you respect the relationship with yourself and your body, show it some attention.   The time you take to train, and notice what happens while you train can make a huge difference on how you move.   More importantly,...

 I know it sounds straightforward.   If you have trouble moving.....it should be easy to spot.  Right? Not always.   Most people are not paying attention to how they move.   Exercise can be an excellent tool to flush out what is tough to control.   And control is ultimately what we are looking to keep as we age.   Muscle, strength, balance..... it all starts with control.

The phases of recovery and the impact of neural mapping on recovery.  How does the human sensorium influence movement quality?   When the body tissues have healed yet they don't move the same, it may be time to look at more than the injured area for solutions. Especially, since the body is "all connected."  Use that to your advantage and uncover new training stimuli to adapt differently.

Do you train until the "wheels fall off?"     Many people do.   Finding solutions to create the adaptation you feel and see helping is the key.   That is the challenging part.   Brandon and Keith go deeper into defining variables that help you deliver that experience.     

What is your definition of Heal or Recover? Does a previous injury, surgery, or disease become "as good as new?" Most of us have been told: if we only strengthen, if we only stretch, if we only massage.... your pain problem will go away. Finding the right tool for the job can be tricky.  Especially when quality of life can be on the line. In this series, we share concepts and approaches that help...

It can be frustrating when exercise is the cause of your pain.

In part 1, listen to how Keith and Brandon use exercise as a detection process as much as in intervention. L...

Principles of Neural Science, Eric Kandel Exerciseproed.com, Greg Mack How We Learn to Move, Rob Grey Why does memory matter? Everything we do is based on it. Memories are constructed. Constructed from experiences. Experiences that have to be sensed, encoded, and then stored. Amazing how our cells can do that. I share three main ways I use memory as an exercise professional to deliver positive exp...

How many of your clients have been injured at one time or another? How many are dealing with undiagnosed disease? Here are some ideas that I have struggled with when it comes to real time decision making during sessions.

Spend your time wisely by understanding exactly what your clients need. Strengthen your practice with timely questions.

Your clients are depending on you. Especially if they are dealing with orthopedic and medical problems. They want to get healthy!!! Here is a way to meet them where they are at.

Look for next level business and practice info to help you work with populations that need it most. People need exercise professionals that are capable of solving some difficult movement problems. That is exactly why we are here to help.

Why is exercise so important?  Exercise Professionals use the phrase, "exercise is medicine."  If it is medicine, how are we dosing it? More importantly, why are still focused on arbitrary exercises, sets, and rep schemes instead of individually dosed challenges? Properly dosed challenges may be the difference between a client feeling great, or ending the session early.   This is the dawn of the m...

Empower your clients to better results with these resources.

In our practice, people come in when they feel good. More importantly, they know they will feel better every time they walk through the door. People stop in to feel better. This is a piece of that puzzle.

Does how you charge reflect your client accountability? Cheap = better?   Does better equal higher value?     If your client needs a different level of interaction, what are you doing to provide that? This and more in this episode.

Know your timeframes. Understand your client. Deliver results. This is a framework to do just that.

Ever feel off? Sometimes things are just not clicking. The results are spotty. Clients become inconsistent. This episode is all about noticing, and changing the problem. You could be out of alignment. No, not posture. This is much more important.
