In this episode of The Movement Underground Radio, we talk to Dr. Elyse Tursi, Functional Medicine Practitioner. I met Dr. Tursi through social media, and we now share some mutual clients. Her approach to health goes DEEP. I mean really digging through bloodwork of her patients with a fine tooth comb. From there, she utilizes Enzyme Therapy, Nutritional guidance, and holistic treatment to help address the underlying causes of disease. We talk in depth about her approach, but touch on the idea about how humans cohabitat with all sorts of “critters” like Mold, yeasts, bacteria, virus', yes….virus' that may lay dormant, or asymptomatic for many years until WHAM, they present with a myriad of symptoms.She specializes in women's health, but also has male clients, specifically when they are posed with difficult auto immune diagnoses. It was a great conversation, and I am gratwful she stopped by to do the interview live! So much great info to unpack here!To reach Dr Tursi, visit her online at www.drelysetursi.comor on social media @drelysetursi. She puts a ton of free content on her Instagram and YouTube channels, so definitely check it out!

On this Episode of The Movement Underground Radio, I took a commentary from an IG Live video on a controversial fitness and rehab topic and where I stand on it. The dreaded “Your [muscle] doesn't fire”. I approach this through a few lenses…the Biomecanical, Neurological, and psychosocial… and outline why its not a great idea to coach this way…and the fallacy that simplification is easier to understand by your clients. Hoping to engage in some good conversation on the topic!

In the Health and Rehab industry, a huge movement in recent years is the idea of Evidence Based Practice. As a result, small contingencies in the rehab world have begun to refute the efficacy of manual therapies in rehab, claiming that the evidence does not support its use. There is no one in the rehab space that reads more research than Dr. Brookbush and his team, who founded the Brookbush Institute with the goal to be a leader in evidence driven continuing education. In this episode, we go deep into this idea of evidence based practice, and how manual therapies are amongst the most supported therapeutic tactics we have in rehab, and how "pain science zealots" as he says, are mis interpreting cherry picked studies to refute the practice to the detriment of patients worldwide. So if you are a clinician who feels attacked on social media for performing manual techniques, then this episode is for you!!!!!

Welcome back to the Movement Underground Radio! This week, we sit down with Physical Therapist Adam Wolf, Owner and Head therapist at The Movement Guild in Chicago, IL. The Movement Guild is Physical Therapy, Health, Wellness and Movement based rehab and training facility in the Chicago area. Adam specializes in Intergrated Neurology, and has authored his second book, Foundations of Movement: A Brain Based Musculoskeletal Approach. The book is available as a kindle and paperback versions and is currently on sale on Amazon.com.In this episode, we take a deep dive into some of the topics covered in his new book. Looking at how when paired and understood in sound concepts, a musculoskeletal approach to pain, rehab, and training can be vastly enhanced by comprehending even basic neuroanatomy and applied neuroscience. Adam is one of the brightest clinicians I know, and anyone who speaks with him on the topic of manual therapy, rehab, and movement, can immediately tell he is on another level altogether. I think any clinician, regardless of degree, certification, or background, can gain a lot of insight not only from this podcast interview, but by the teachings in his new book. You can purchase his new book here https://amzn.to/2NFX8HOHope you enjoy! Don't remember to leave a review and hit that subscribe button to get notified when new episodes drop!

On this episode of The Movement Underground Radio, I was able to put together a reunion of athletes from my days working as an Athletic Trainer for the Florida Gators Track & Field program. There were so many unbelievable athletes on that team, but these guys in particular made a huge impact on my life and career. Christian Taylor, who needs no introduction in the track world, is a 2x Olympic Gold Medalist in the Triple Jump, and a 4x World Champion Kenal Mesic, a Bosnian born athlete, who has also competed in the Olympics, came to the USA for the first time to be a part of the Gator Track team, had to learn english, & adapt to American college life, after a war torn childhood. Gray Horn, the dark horse Gator Decathlete great, an SEC Champion, and currently coaches Track at Wake Forest University. Ben Davies, who competed for one year at Florida, in the Decathlon/Javelin before injuries forced him to transfer, and is now an actor. Jarius Cooper, was a Sprinter/Hurdler at UF who had to overcome some difficult injuries and is now the sprints/hurdles coach at Stanford University. And last, but not least, Will Wynne, a 400m hurdler, who still competes in track, and gave me his 2010 National Championship Ring, and was the inspiration for this podcast episode. Athletic accomplishments aside, these guys live all over the country/world, and took the time to get together with me after over a decade to rehash the glory, defeats, life lessons, and how they inspired a winning culture at Florida Track & Field, a legacy intact to this very day. I don't care if not a single soul listens to this, but the opportunity to reconnect with these athletes, who were perhaps my greatest teachers clinically, is something that I am extremely grateful for. Hope you enjoy!

In a Telehealth world, making connections is an ever important skill set that all relevant clinicians now need. With limited physical contact, how can we establish trust, rapport, and deliver the results we promise with a limited toolbox? Dr. Joe Lavacca, Physical Therapist, Movement Coach and RockTape Instructor, lays out the science behind “soft skills” and reveals how this paradigm shift may be for the better, by forcing us to recognize there is more than just a body to every human being we interact with. This conversation goes far beyond how to stay relevant in Telehealth, and calls into question many of the tactics we've been led to believe in terms of patient care. The lessons shared, however, have much more far reaching implications to anyone who wants to improve the way they communicate and interact with others no matter what the context of the relationship.
