It's been a year and a half and we're so excited to be back and chatting on the podcast. This is a long one (we apologize), but if you're looking to learn more about us, this is the perfect place to start!!

On this episode we talk with Dr. Scott Forbes about all things creatine and performance. We understand that this can sometimes be a grey area: Do I take it? Does it make me gain water weight? Will it make me stronger? Give this episode a listen to hear all the answers! Dr. Scott Forbes is an assistant professor in the department of Physical Education at Brandon University, Canada. His primary interest is in sport science with a primary focus on nutritional (creatine and protein) and training interventions to enhance athlete performance. In addition, he has expertise examining nutritional and exercise interventions for optimal muscle and brain health in older adults.

Krystyna Holland joined us for an episode (and we can't wait to have her back on) and we talked about everything from pelvic pain to pregnancy exercise recommendations to leaking while coughing, jumping, and sneezing, low back pain and the relationship it has to pelvic floor dysfunction, and how athletes can improve their performance by optimizing their core stability (your pelvic floor plays a huge role, btw).The take home message from the episode was that although pelvic dysfunction may be common, it is not inevitable. This episode was straight fire and we're so pumped that we didn't lost the recording (it almost happened). Krystyna's journey as a provider started as a patient. Frustrations with her own medical treatment, including feeling unheard, short appointment times, and one-size-fits-all treatment have inspired her to go the extra mile when it comes to empowering her patients to be an active participant in their healthcare, starting in their physical therapy sessions. She has seen how healthcare discrepancies impact patient care and experience, and she started Inclusive Care to provide quality healthcare to everyone, regardless of their position on the gender identity spectrum. She wishes everyone knew about pelvic health and how it relates to having pleasurable sex, strength and stability, and staying dry, which is why she puts out information on social media and hosts interactive workshops. She knows first hand the power of pelvic floor physical therapy and how it can build confidence in your ability to stop having painful sex, stop leaking, and start living.Find Krystyna on Instagram @Krystyna.Holland

In this episode we talk with Scott Richardson. We touch on topics such as elbow injury and Tommy John surgery, throwing athletes and all things baseball, and overcoming the mental adversity that exists following physical injury. Scott is a personal trainer and physical therapy aide who is passionate about baseball, strength training, and providing information and resources to athletes he did not have access to during his playing career.

On this episode, we talk with Dr. Tyler Kallasy, PT, DPT about everything from taboo training, the role of physical therapy in performance training, similarities and delineations between different types of sports performance professionals, knees-over-toes training, and how physical therapists are uniquely trained to help athletes achieve their goals. More about Tyler:Tyler Kallasy is a graduate of Utica College, where he received a B.S. in Health Sciences and then a Doctorate of Physical Therapy degree. Currently, he is a traveling DPT, allowing him to adventure across the U.S., and practice in a variety of settings. Initially, Tyler planned to focus solely on outpatient orthopedic and athletic performance. His love for sports and recreation began as a young boy, and carried him through 4 years as a collegiate football player. During grad school, Tyler spent some time experimenting with various fitness modalities, and eventually landed himself in a CrossFit box, where his passion for improving human movement really began to thrive.  Tyler has been able to use his DPT degree in combination with his experience as a CrossFit L-1 Trainer and Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist to help athletes of all ages, shapes and sizes progress toward a healthier, happier version of themselves. Along the way, Tyler has had a few experiences that have had a significant influence on his professional goals, and potential career path. While completing a 12-week clinical rotation at an intensive care unit for patients with a variety of neurologic conditions (TBI, SCI, stroke, CP) Tyler discovered his love for neurologic rehabilitation. Throughout graduate school, Tyler worked in Adaptive Sports and Recreation – building, facilitating and developing a variety of programs for folks who are blind or visually impaired. Since then, he has focused his efforts toward learning how to better incorporate his passion for the human nervous system, with his clinical knowledge of the musculoskeletal system, and professional experience in recreational and wellness adaptation. Tyler continues to advance his knowledge of manual medicine through courses including RockTape Functional Movement Techniques (Kinesiology Taping and IASTM Tools), Grey institute 3DMAPS Movement Analysis and Performance Systems. While he enjoyed practicing in the standard outpatient orthopedic setting, Tyler recognized how much he enjoyed working 1-on-1 with folks in the comfort of a private setting, such as their home, or their gym. While he continues to practice in a commercial outpatient orthopedic setting, Tyler also provides exceptional physical therapy services in a non-traditional way. This has allowed him to further improve his ability to really understand the patient and provide skilled evaluations and treatments with undivided attention and guidance. Tyler enjoys making up his own recipes, hiking mountains with his girlfriend and doggos, exploring restaurants in a new city and working out.Find Tyler on Instagram @tylerkallasy.dpt and on his website www.prospect-pt.com

Lauryn spent the first 10 years of her physical therapy career working at two different outpatient physical therapy offices. Tired of her treatments being dictated by insurance company rules instead of what her patients truly needed, she decided to open up her own PT clinic in 2019. Lauryn was a gymnast for 20 years, finishing her career as a collegiate gymnast competing for Springfield College. Over those years, the sport took a toll on her body leading to various injuries. Those injuries and her time spent rehabbing made her decide to pursue a career in physical therapy. Lauryn has coached gymnastics for 15 years, the last six as head coach of Beverly High School's Varsity Gymnastics team, where she led the team to become five-time NEC/CAL Champions and an undefeated 46-0 record. Lauryn was named Coach of the Year by the Salem Evening News four years in a row. After retiring from the sport of gymnastics, she found a new passion in CrossFit and Olympic Weightlifting. Lauryn trains and competes in both. Lauryn is also a USA Weightlifting Level 1 Certified Coach. It is her athletic and coaching background that inspired her to become a physical therapist and to help others stay healthy, fit, and injury-free.
