Ben Musholt is a physical therapist and entrepreneur in Portland, Oregon. He co-authored Parkour Strength Training in 2016, and he published the Mad Skills Exercise Encyclopedia in 2013, with a second edition that came out in 2017. When not coaching or helping his rehab clients move better, he can be found exploring the Pacific Northwest wonderland. His goal is to do 3 fun physical activities per day. Good luck keeping up. We explore the art of falling in this episode. Often, we think of avoiding falls or rehabbing patients after they've had a fall. But what if we taught patients HOW to fall? That's what Ben and I explore in this episode and more! Links available at www.missingvariable.com/19/
This week we sat down with Ben Musholt, a physical therapist by trade, parkour athlete when not working, former America Ninja Warrior participant, and author of Parkour Strength Training: Overcome Obstacles for Fun and Fitness and Mad Skills Exercise Encyclopedia: The World's Largest Illustrated Exercise Encyclopedia. In this episode we tackle a lot, including: Ben's background as a physical therapist and his childhood as a "constant mover" Why we should all continue to "play" as we age Ben's thoughts on why we as a society "workout" inside now, instead of "play" outside Ben's definition of parkour and his perspective on the role of functional movement across the lifespan Twitter follower questions, including Ben's 5 favorite bodyweight exercises, how to treat hypo- and hyper-mobile patients, and how to get clients with chronic pain past their fear of movement Ben's advice for his younger self and for people starting out in their careers
Ben Musholt, PT, shares his love for Parkour and its application in the geriatric population. These seemingly two opposite fields are actually more related than you might think. You'll have some good ideas after this one! -------------------- If you like what you hear, consider Joining the Senior Rehab Project to get access to: Monthly Mastermind Meetup Newsletter Private FB Group *For links & the other podcasts in the Senior Rehab Project, go to http://SeniorRehabProject.com
