In The RACK Podcast...Powered by ProForm Physical Therapy. Dr. Chad and Dr. Nick are excited about this episode as we have another great guest speaker with us. Today we are talking with a physical therapist by the name of Justin Farnsworth. Justin was in town with us last week when we recorded this podcast as we hosted the PPSC certification course. PPSC stands for Pain-Free Performance Specialist Certification and Justin was our instructor. In this episode of In The Rack Podcast we dive into the many issues within the medical and PT professions. It is courses like the PPSC that make good PTs great as well as give them the tools to be prepare their patients and clients for LIFE!! We as PTs tend to under-load our patients. This is not emphasized in our graduate schooling and is up to us as the providers to become educated on how we can best help our patients and clients. Not every physical therapist can be good trainer...Even though some may say otherwise. But if PTs can have a better understanding of strength and conditioning principles as well as how to apply them, then this can make for an unbelievable practitioner. We also talk about our vision for the future of physical therapy and what we need to do as a profession to make that vision a reality. ___________________________________________ For more episodes, make sure to subscribe and tune in to our podcast.

In The RACK Podcast...Powered by ProForm Physical Therapy. Dr. Chad and Dr. Nick bring you a special episode today about a particular topic that might be a little uncomfortable for some people to hear. Not only does it need to be said, but if you are one of those people that feels uncomfortable with this topic then you are the type of person that actually needs to listen to this one. The topic of today is a good way to end 2022 and start 2023. Its the topic of health shaming with an emphasis on respecting your own health as we dive into 2023. We also dive into some tips to help you navigate the upcoming holiday. In 2022, we saw so many people in our community make huge strides on their health journey, and we certainly want to keep this rolling… However, in 2022, we also witnessed a culture that criticizes and shames you for giving unhealthy people a hard time, yet it “is totally fine” to make fun of people for “being healthy” by doing the boring small behaviors with pristine consistency. There is a double standard in our culture, especially in the US. We are told to be okay with your body, no matter what! But this discounts the reality that one's current weight/body fat content could very well indicate diminished poor metabolic health!! This is NOT OK!!! It is one thing to be mentally stable with where you're at and have plans in place to make strides toward a healthier you. We cannot continue on this train of “be okay in your own skin” if that means you're continuing to live an unhealthy life! Ultimately, we want people to respect their health in 2023! We are NOT saying...go body shame people for being overweight! We want people to optimize their health. We want you to thrive, not just survive during your lifetime!! ___________________________________________ For more episodes, make sure to subscribe and tune in to our podcast.

In The RACK Podcast...Powered by ProForm Physical Therapy. In this Episode Chad and Nick get a little reckless In The RACK!!"If You Want It To Go Away...Don't Move" This is what a patient was told by her medical doctor. Both Dr. Chad and Dr. Nick dive back into the use of language as well as how this statement could not be farther from the truth! Dr. Chad talks about a patient that he had recently that was treated with the classic diagnosis of spinal stenosis. Not only was this patient not having relief with her treatments, but she was not being treated as an individual. Dr. Nick talks about a situation in which he had a phone conversation with someone that was very much misdiagnosed by his medical provider. This was a situation in which Dr. Nick saved this person from going through an unnecessary surgery. This happens all too often, especially when a patient has surgery prior to exploring conventional treatment like physical therapy. Having a patient stop a particular movement may not be bad advice as long as there is a plan to re-introduce that movement when appropriate. To tell someone that they should never do a particular movement ever again is not only bad advice, its reckless!! These stories are not only crazy, but they are reckless!It's reckless as a provider to be telling patients this type of harmful information!So...if you are a healthcare provider and are listening to this episode we just ask that you don't be reckless with other people's health.Now for all of you patients that are listening…you shouldn't put up with people who are reckless with yours!Make sure to listen to the end of the episode to find out who we have as a guest on next week's episode. ___________________________________________ For more episodes, make sure to subscribe and tune in to our podcast.

In The RACK Podcast...Powered by ProForm Physical Therapy.In this Episode Chad and Nick talk about the importance of grip strength.Grip strength is a good reflection of total body strength and has been shown to be associated with longevity/mortality as well as a variety of disease and conditions from cardiovascular to numerous cancers.We talk about the inclusion of grip strength as a biomarker/vital sign for older adults as well as the importance of the good 'ol handshake.Of course we always have to tie it back to the feet. We feel that strong feet do improve quality of life - it makes sense, as foot issues related to weakness could causing mobility issues and limit physical activity, etc. We feel that this could be just as important if not more important as a predictor of your longevity...Just a theory lol!From an evolutionary perspective, we've been lifting things, climbing and hanging from trees forever. But in our modern day society we are becoming more "lazy". For example we now have the option to have our groceries being delivered to our home. This is an even more important reason to work on that grip strength. Now go out there and hold something. You life may just depend on it!__________________________For more episodes, make sure to subscribe and tune in to our podcast.
