The second installment of our Prime Mover episodes- Matt and Allie interview Shelby Yahl, Physical Therapist at our Hamilton location, on her selection of movement: climbing stairs. Shelby explains that she chose the topic because she has seen this trend in a lot of her patient cases. She also brings up how fear and avoidance of leaving their homes has patients remaining stagnant in their care. She describes every muscle involved in this movement and the importance of overall strength, range of motion and balance. Shelby also shares what treatment would look like for patients having trouble or pain in any of these movements and how we can help them at Oxford PT.Did you know that you don't need a doctor's prescription to receive physical therapy?

You should definitely go back and listen to our first episode with him before you dive into this one. We brought Brian back to ask a variety of follow up questions, some our own and some provided by you guys in your responses to the initial episode. The most frequent piece of feedback we got was about his interpretation on MRIs. We get to that a little later in the episode, so stick with it.Other topics for this discussion include the psychology of recovering from injury, the complexity of the relationship between pain and injury, and for our video viewers he even breaks out some spine models to demonstrate a few of the concepts he discusses.He mentions Michael Shacklock and neurodynamics a few times, if you want to learn more about that check out their page. He also mentions a few videos they're making about MRI interpretation, here are links to the first two:"MRI Case Study: Why They Matter and Why They Don't Tell the Whole Story""Does Your MRI Tell the Whole Story?"Brian also asked that we include the following clarification in response to his exchange with Alex about Elon Musk's role in SpaceX engineering (this is copied directly from Brian's email): "Elon Musk actually does design rockets and create technology for various aspects of rocket science and aerospace advancement. He oversees engineering and development projects for SpaceX yet only holds bachelor degrees in both economics and engineering from the University of Pennsylvania. He began (but did not complete) a PhD program at Stanford before launching PayPal etc, he lasted 2 days in the program. He credits mentors and reading many books and studies, as have I with MRi's. "

MY advice is always the same in this case; Cancel it! Don't pay a penny for something that you can't stick to :)And finally I go over this study , sent to me in August, which raises some interesting points about how "Fear of Childbirth" can negatively impact the whole labour process, and what we should do about it.As always; HPNB still only has 5 billing cycles.So this means that you not only get 3 months FREE access, no obligation!

Matt and Allie are back to discuss this month's clinical corner article! In this case presentation- you'll hear about a patient who experienced consistent gluteal pain even after seeing his PCP, PA and PT. With more and more time passing and worsening symptoms, and a palpable mass finding by the PT, the patient was urged to get an MRI. This uncovered that the mass was identified as advanced-stage non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Luckily, after treatment and a couple months of PT, the patient resumed walking, golfing, etc with no pain and in complete remission! This article highlights the importance of hands-on PT, self advocacy, and early intervention.Read the article here: https://www.jospt.org/doi/10.2519/josptcases.2025.0126https://www.jospt.org/doi/10.2519/josptcases.2025.0126Did you know that you don't need a doctor's prescription to receive physical therapy?

In this episode of the Get Back To It Podcast, we hear the inspiring journey of 14-year-old athlete Maeve Danaher from Chicago, Illinois. A dedicated competitive swimmer, Maeve's life changed dramatically when she was diagnosed with double scoliosis — one curve measuring 70 degrees and another at 60. Facing a 10-hour spinal fusion surgery, Maeve's determination and courage were tested in ways she never imagined.Maeve opens up about the emotional toll of preparing for major surgery, the challenges of losing independence, and the long road to recovery marked by pain, patience, and perseverance. With the unwavering support of her parents, medical team, and friends, she learned to walk again just a day after surgery and gradually rebuilt her strength.Cleared to return to competitive swimming less than a year later, Maeve's story is one of resilience, positivity, and youthful optimism. Her journey reminds us that recovery is not only about physical healing, but also about mental strength and hope — showing that even after life-changing surgery, it's possible to dive back in and keep swimming toward your dreams. Support the show

Is Your Chiropractic Care Plan a Sales Pitch or a Health Strategy? Understanding the Difference | The Prime Podcast Have you ever left a doctor's office with a recommended care plan and felt a wave of skepticism? It's a common experience, especially in chiropractic, where the purpose behind a structured plan is one of the most misunderstood aspects of care. Patients often turn to social media forums, asking friends, "Does this seem right?" creating a massive gray area filled with confusion and misinformation. In Episode 343 of The Prime Podcast, Dr. Skip and Dr. Julie Wies pull back the curtain on this "taboo" topic. They explore why the concept of a care plan is so divisive and why clear communication between a doctor and a patient is the most critical factor for a successful health outcome. This episode is an essential guide for any patient who wants to feel empowered and confident in their healthcare decisions. The doctors break down the two fundamental philosophies of care you'll encounter: Symptomatic Care: The reactive, "quick fix" approach. This is for when you just want immediate pain relief for a headache or back pain and have no long-term goals. Vitalistic Care: The proactive, wellness-focused approach. This is for patients who want to address the root cause of their issues, prevent them from recurring, and achieve a higher standard of overall health. Using a brilliant "fruit salad vs. veggie salad" analogy, Dr. Skip and Dr. Julie illustrate what happens when a patient's expectations don't align with a doctor's standard of care. They discuss why a chiropractor who is truly invested in your long-term wellness will always recommend a plan, and why "just come in when it hurts" can lead to a cycle of recurring problems and the false belief that "chiropractic didn't work." Furthermore, they tackle the thorny issue of insurance, explaining why the best chiropractors are often out-of-network and why that should be seen as a green flag indicating a commitment to wellness over "sick care." KEY TAKEAWAYS Communication is Key: A successful healthcare experience depends on the patient and doctor being on the same page with their goals and expectations before care begins. Vitalistic vs. Symptomatic: Understand which philosophy your chiropractor follows. Are they focused on proactive wellness and fixing the root cause (vitalistic), or just reactive pain relief (symptomatic)? A Care Plan is a Standard of Care: A structured care plan is not a sales pitch; it is a doctor's professional recommendation based on your history, exam, and health goals to achieve lasting results. Don't Ask the Internet, Ask Your Doctor: If you have questions about your care plan, the most qualified person to answer them is the doctor who created it based on your specific case. Insurance Doesn't Dictate Health: The best healthcare providers often operate outside of insurance networks because they refuse to let a third party dictate a standard of care that is focused on sickness, not wellness.

Did you know that 1.6 million spinal surgeries happen every year in America – but many could potentially be prevented?In this episode, Dr. Tom and Marissa Nixon tackle one of the most common questions they receive: "My loved one has been told they need neck or back surgery – what should I tell them?" Drawing from a decade of holistic health practice, they break down the real reasons behind disc bulges, stenosis, and degenerative disc disease, while offering hope and practical direction for those facing spinal surgery recommendations. This isn't anti-surgery – it's about understanding your options and addressing root causes before invasive procedures become necessary.Key Takeaways:• Ask "Why" Eight Different Ways – Don't accept "old age" or "genetics" as the root cause of your disc problems. Keep asking why until you get to the structural issue: bones that have moved the wrong way and need to be corrected.• Structure Determines Function – Just like a house with a shifted foundation, when your spine loses its proper structure and curves, it creates pressure that leads to disc bulges, stenosis, and pain over time.• Corrective Chiropractic Offers Hope – Look for chiropractors who take before-and-after X-rays and focus on restoring spinal structure through adjustments, decompression, and targeted exercises rather than just temporary pain relief.Remember: Your body was created to heal – sometimes it just needs the right structural support to do what it does best.Recommended Tools & Support: Get professional-grade supplements and wellness tools we trust: Fullscript Store – Twin City Health Explore our FREE protocols, guides, and courses: Visit Our Stan Store Want 1:1 Functional Medicine coaching?

Introducing the Prime Mover Series- a new kind of episode we are adding to our monthly posts where we will be breaking down all that goes into body movement. From everyday tasks like walking up and down stairs, grocery shopping to professional athletics, and more! Our first Prime Mover episode we interview Charley Meade, Physical Therapist & clinic manager, on his selection of movement: kicking a football. Charley explains every muscle involved in the kick and the importance of strength and mobility in the muscles that aren't technically the main focus of the action, those that stabilize, or as Matt declares, the "Prime Holders". Charley also explains what treatment would look like for athletes having trouble or pain in these movements.These episodes will be great for students in PT School, refreshers for PTs listening, and general education.Stay tuned for more Oxford PTs and the movements they choose!Did you know that you don't need a doctor's prescription to receive physical therapy?

What do you do when your body forces you to hit pause?In this episode, I share my recent battle with back pain that quite literally knocked me off my feet. From the frustration of not being able to move, to sitting with a spinal specialist and hearing words like ‘bulging discs', it's been a humbling reminder that none of us are invincible.I'll talk about the treatments I've considered, the mental rollercoaster of dealing with injury, and the gratitude I've found through support from family, friends, and my community. More than anything, this experience has shown me that setbacks can become powerful opportunities to learn, adapt, and move forward in a smarter way.If you've ever felt stuck by injury or just life, I think this conversation will give you some perspective you can carry into your own journey.Episode Timeline:0:00 – Episode Preview 1:32 – Podcast Intro2:43 – Back pain knocks me down3:25 – How it happened (ego lifting + deadlifts)5:10 – Living with pain and frustration7:15 – Overwhelmed by too many treatment options9:40 – “Even professionals get confused”11:30 – Nobody has it all together13:55 – MRI results explained simply16:20 – Considering regenerative medicine18:40 – Lessons in gratitude and ego22:30 – Training smarter with core stability26:00 – Injuries as opportunities to pivot28:45 – Learning to be vulnerable and ask for help30:45 – Community support and closing thoughts30:45 – Podcast OutroLinks & Resources:Connect with Ben on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bodysystemscoaching/Learn more about Ben's coaching program: www.bodysystems.comSubscribe to the Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show on Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-smart-nutrition-made-simple-show-with-ben-brown/id1244912234 Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/4H8vUlwYvKcAXZOv84sFgT Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@bodysystemscoaching Book Free Nutrition Strategy Call - https://bodysystems.com/free-strategy-call/

Ever wondered if X-rays are really necessary before a chiropractic adjustment? Or have you been told they're an optional, skippable step? In this vital episode of The Prime Podcast, Dr. Skip and Dr. Julie Wies tackle the growing misconception around spinal imaging and explain why skipping this step could put your health at risk. Many people seek chiropractic care for back pain, neck pain, or general wellness, but not all understand the importance of a proper diagnosis. An adjustment without a clear picture of your spinal health is just guesswork. Drs. Skip and Julie reveal what a trained chiropractor can see on an X-ray—from hidden fractures and dangerous pathologies to congenital abnormalities that could make a standard adjustment harmful. Discover why the X-ray and the chiropractic profession were born in the very same year and how this foundational tool is a non-negotiable "standard of care" for ensuring patient safety, achieving better results, and truly understanding the root cause of your health concerns. Don't let a practitioner gamble with your spine. Learn how to advocate for the highest standard of care. In this episode, you will learn: Why spinal X-rays are a foundational standard of care in chiropractic, not an upsell. The difference between "guessing" and "knowing" when it comes to your chiropractic adjustment. Real-life examples of serious conditions (cancer, aneurysms, hidden fractures) that were discovered through routine spinal imaging. A compelling case study of how an X-ray solved the mystery of a teenager's chronic migraines. The truth about radiation exposure from X-rays versus everyday activities like flying. What to do if your chiropractor has never taken an X-ray and how to find a practitioner who prioritizes your safety.

My guest, PJ Glassey discusses the emotional side of back pain and how a condition known as Tension Myositis Syndrome (TMS) is characterized by chronic pain, often in the back, neck, shoulders, and hips, and is caused by the brain's response to repressed negative emotions and stress. About Mr. Glassey: PJ started personal training in 1987 and successfully grew his business over the following 11 years, training clients in their homes and at local area gyms. With the help of these clients as test subjects, and armed with his degree in Exercise Science, PJ invented his “multi-protocol” concept and refined it through 1998, when he founded the X Gym. He is also the author of the book "Cracking Your Calorie Code" and the inventor of his Brain Type Test, which helps people achieve health and fitness results much faster through specific brain wiring techniques tailored to their unique brain type.

Matt and Allie are back with this month's clinical article(s)! This month Matt pulled together three separate articles that cover repairing, testing, and strengthening the ACL as it relates to sensorimotor dysfunction. The first article dives into what sensorimotor dysfunction is and how ACL injuries affect it. They also found that repairing a patient's ligament, instead of replacing it, decreases the probability of patients needing surgery on their other knee. Hear about how they compare a patient's function based on their visual reliance. The second article tests ACL improvement and early implementation of treating/ testing the patient's proprioception. The third article is a case study where a patient's improvement in PT was being held back by his own brain. His therapists threw in a few distractions to keep his brain work while his body is exercising, and his confidence and functionality improved significantly. Read all three articles here:1. https://www.jospt.org/doi/10.2519/josptcases.2025.00892.https://www.jospt.org/doi/10.2519/jospt.2025.127253. https://www.jospt.org/doi/10.2519/jospt.2025.12726Did you know that you don't need a doctor's prescription to receive physical therapy?

Back pain is one of the most common health problems in the world — but also one of the most mysterious. Scans don't always match symptoms, treatments don't always provide relief, and many people feel stuck with ongoing discomfort.In this episode, I explore chronic, non-specific low back pain through a biopsychosocial lens. Basically, we're looking beyond just the spine to understand how biology, psychology, and environment all shape the way pain is experienced.You'll hear about:What makes non-specific low back pain so puzzlingHow pain perception actually works (pain ≠ tissue damage)Why the biopsychosocial model is key to understanding painThe role of self-regulation in shaping pain responsesWhat research says about meditation for back painHow to reframe back pain when you feel like you're hitting a wallJournal prompts to reflect on your own experienceBy the end, you'll have a new way to think about back pain, one that expands the options for healing beyond the body alone.Engel, G.
