“The reality is none of us use light continuous forces.” “Friction is awesome. Friction is great, we would be miserable if there was no friction… (with) uncontrolled movement everywhere” “Segmented arch mechanics are very tough to gain three-dimensional control over the tooth.”  “The last major landmark in fixed appliance and in orthodontics was the pre-adjusted edgewise appliance.” “The root is not moving according to the wish of the orthodontist (with aligners)” I'm joined by Madhur Upadhyay for a deepexploration of biomechanics, biology, and the true limits of orthodontic innovation. We examine advances in appliances, aligners, and digital workflows and why they have, as of yet, not improved speed or quality of clinical outcomes,and innovation is still governed by the same biological constraints that dictated tooth movement a century ago. However progress has been significant in workflows for both fixed and aligner therapy. We also discuss why complex biomechanics arerarely implemented in routine practice, whether pre-adjusted appliances were the last major landmark innovation, and what aligners can, and cannot, achieve in terms of root control in terms of biomechanics. The conversation extends toartificial intelligence in diagnosis and treatment planning, asking whether automation enhances clinical care or gradually replaces critical thinking. We conclude with thoughts of micro and nano-plastics and the focus needed on this topic in orthodontics. Please like and subscribe if you find it useful! Please visit the website for this interview podcast:https://orthoinsummary.com/the-hidden-biomechanics-of-fixed-appliances-aligners-orthodontics-in-interview-madhur-upadhyay/ .Publications by Madhur UpadhyayBiomechanics of clear aligners: hidden truths & firstprinciples 2022 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejwf.2021.11.002ClearAligners in Extraction-Based Orthodontic Treatment: A Systematic Review andMeta-Analysis 2026 DOI: 10.1111/ocr.70052   #OrthodonticsInSummary# Madhurupadhyay #Orthodontics#biomechanics#TADs#OrthodonticsInInterview#FarooqAhmed#OrthodonticBiomechanics#DentalEducation Farooq Ahmed

In Episode 4 of MAHA Living, Jordan Sather shifts gears into a whiteboard deep dive on movement, posture, and the foundational principles of biomechanics. Prompted by viewer questions about back pain and improper exercise programming, Jordan explains how poor movement patterns, prolonged sitting, and modern habits contribute to joint pain, muscular imbalances, and long-term dysfunction. He breaks down the physics of joint movement, the “yin-yang” relationship between tight and weak muscles, and the concept of the instantaneous axis of rotation. From forward head posture and rounded shoulders to anterior pelvic tilt and upper and lower cross syndromes, Jordan outlines common distortion patterns and the muscle groups typically involved. The episode also covers practical self-assessments like the plumb line test, along with corrective strategies including prone cobra holds, planks, eccentric hamstring loading, and proper deadlifting mechanics. Emphasizing a holistic view of health beyond food and chemicals, Jordan connects posture to blood flow, nerve signaling, breathing, and overall vitality.

Dr. Frank Peacock and Dr. Damon R. Kuehl join BioTalk for a focused discussion on one of emergency medicine's most persistent challenges: accurately diagnosing and predicting outcomes in mild traumatic brain injury. As Scientific Advisory Board members for BrainBox Solutions, Inc., they walk through what happens when a patient presents to the emergency department after a fall or sports injury and why current tools, including CT scans, often leave clinicians without clear answers. The conversation explores the gap between a "normal" scan and ongoing symptoms, and what missed or uncertain diagnoses can mean for patients weeks later.   Dr. Peacock outlines the HeadSMART II study and explains why combining blood biomarkers with neurocognitive testing provides a more complete assessment than biology alone. Dr. Kuehl discusses how multi-modal data, integrated through artificial intelligence, can generate an objective score to support real-time clinical decision-making and help identify patients at risk for persistent symptoms. The episode also highlights BrainBox's leadership, including CEO Donna Edmonds, a member of the BioHealth Innovation Board of Directors, and the company's role in advancing objective mTBI testing.   Editing and post-production work for this episode was provided by The Podcast Consultant (https://thepodcastconsultant.com).   Dr. W.

The 2026 Winter Olympics in Milano-Cortina have delivered one of the most polarizing and inspiring medical storylines in sports history. This week, we are breaking down the "impossible" comeback attempt of Lindsey Vonn. In this episode: The "Zero-Percent ACL" Decision: We analyze how Vonn was cleared to race an Olympic downhill just nine days after a complete ACL rupture in Switzerland. The Biomechanics of the Crash: A step-by-step breakdown of the 13-second run. Why a 5-inch error on her line led to a complex tibia fracture, and why her previous ACL injury wasn't the cause of the fall. The Surgical Reality: Dr. Frey explains the "multidisciplinary" approach to her recovery, including the three surgeries she has already undergone to stabilize the fracture and manage compartment syndrome concerns. The "Grit" Factor: We discuss the psychology of competing at 41 with a titanium knee and a fresh ligament tear.

In this episode, I explore the sacrum from both a mythic and anatomical perspective, uncovering why so many ancient cultures considered it sacred and indestructible. I connect history, symbolism, and modern biomechanics to show how this bone has always been seen as more than just structural. I also share how understanding the sacrum's role in movement, stability, and coordination can change the way we experience pelvic pain and SI joint issues. By shifting our focus from fragility to resilience, we can approach the body with more intelligence, confidence, and ease.  

In today's episode we're hearing from Ella about her son's birth. She explains how using the fertility awareness method helped her to conceive, how much she loved being pregnant and why she chose to plan a homebirth with the support of a doula. Ella talks honestly about finding it mentally challenging to go beyond 40 weeks and describes her long labour at home, including the coping techniques she leant on. After hours of pushing the decision was made to transfer, which was a scary experience for both Ella and her partner.

They may not develop overnight and often come with complex precursors. Examining the role of Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) as an adjunctive treatment reveals insightful perspectives for managing these sensitivities effectively. This article highlights key discussions from experts on this topic. **The Genesis of Food Sensitivities** It's essential to recognize that food sensitivities originate from several factors, including genetics and environmental influences. Dr. Carol explains that the immune system, primarily located around the digestive tract, reacts to foreign proteins after they pass through a possibly compromised gut wall, leading to what's referred to as "leaky gut." Stress, medication, and diet intricacies all play crucial roles in how these sensitivities manifest. *Food Sensitivity Testing: A Billion-Dollar Industry** Kim Pittis emphasizes the burgeoning business of food sensitivity panels. Despite their prevalence, the accuracy of these tests has raised skepticism. Instances where identical blood samples sent under different identities yield varied results underscore the need for caution. This discrepancy further emphasizes the importance of alternative approaches, such as elimination diets and dietary adjustments. **Introducing FSM as an Adjunct Treatment** Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) emerges as a promising supportive tool for those navigating the complexities of food sensitivities. FSM addresses underlying issues that exacerbate food sensitivities, such as leaky gut and vagus nerve dysfunction. It works in tandem with elimination diets to enhance recovery and comfort for patients experiencing these health challenges. **Unraveling the Body's Complex Reactions** As detailed by Dr. Carol, food sensitivities often result in IgG antibody formation, leading to histamine release and systemic responses like body pain and inflammation. These reactions can persist and significantly affect quality of life. Understanding the body's complex immune response to continuous exposure to specific foods and the subsequent formation of food sensitivities is crucial. **Practical Applications: Case Examples** The narrative includes practical applications and real-life examples illustrating how FSM can effectively complement traditional treatments. By repairing compromised gut linings and modulating immune responses, FSM aids in reducing the duration and intensity of food sensitivity reactions, thus promoting more efficient healing.

In today's episode, we will begin Chapter 2 and an introduction to biomechanics, particularly the biomechanics that are relevant to the chiropractor.  This is an essential foundation for understanding everything else that is yet to come in this book. 

This week on the Science for Sport Podcast, Richard Graves is joined by Brian Roy, a strength and conditioning coach who has spent the past decade working at the sharp end of action and lifestyle sports, including Olympic BMX Freestyle. BMX Freestyle is still a relative newcomer to the Olympic programme, but its physical demands, injury risks and performance challenges are unlike almost any traditional sport. In this episode, Brian shares his unconventional journey into elite sport, from personal training and postgraduate study to travelling the world with BMX athletes on the global stage. Together, Richard and Brian explore what it really takes to prepare athletes for a sport defined by explosive power, aerial skill, high-impact landings and constant travel. Brian offers a refreshingly honest perspective on athlete buy-in, bespoke programming, and why traditional strength testing and rigid systems don't always transfer to non-traditional sports. This is a fascinating conversation for sports scientists, strength and conditioning coaches, and anyone interested in how performance support adapts when the sport doesn't fit neatly into a textbook. In this episode you will learn * The unique physiological and biomechanical demands of BMX Freestyle competition * How to prepare athletes for repeated 60-second, maximal-effort runs across a full competition day * Why traditional strength testing and gym-based metrics don't always translate to action sports * How Brian adapted training around constant travel, limited gym access, and athlete preferences * Practical strategies for building resilience and reducing injury risk in high-impact sports * Why athlete buy-in often comes from listening, adapting, and being present rather than enforcing systems * How emerging video and motion-analysis technology could shape the future of training in BMX Freestyle and similar sports About Brian Roy Brian Roy is a strength and conditioning coach with over 10 years' experience working in action and lifestyle sports. He holds a Master's degree in Kinesiology and Exercise Science and is currently undertaking further postgraduate study in Applied Sports Science Analytics. Brian has worked closely with elite BMX Freestyle athletes on the international stage, including those competing at the Olympic Games, and has developed a reputation for adaptable, athlete-centred training approaches. His work focuses on performance, resilience, and real-world transfer rather than rigid adherence to traditional testing models. Brian regularly shares insights from his work on LinkedIn and Instagram, where he discusses training philosophy, emerging technology, and lessons learned from working in non-traditional sports environments.

In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Stuart M. McGill, distinguished professor, emeritus of Spine Biomechanics at the University of Waterloo. With over 40 years of research and 245+ peer-reviewed publications, he has helped everyone from Olympic athletes to everyday people overcome back pain. Vikas & Dr. McGill discussed in detail about spine biomechanics, how the body works as an elastic system for running, why most runners don't need heavy deadlifts, and practical strategies to build a resilient, pain-free back.Here are some key takeaways:Distance runners are elastic athletes, not strength athletes - Great runners store and recover energy through tuned stiffness in their fascia and tendons, not by building maximum muscle strength. Deadlifts may actually hurt your running performance.Core endurance matters more than core strength - Maintaining good form throughout a marathon requires core endurance to prevent energy leaks, not maximal strength. Train your core.Sitting is damaging your back and your running - Eight hours sitting at a desk, builds cumulative damage that can't be undone by hard training at night. Take frequent micro-breaks at home or in office, to maintain back health.Barefoot running teaches optimal mechanics - Running without shoes forces you to find the sweet spot between absorbing shock and preserving elastic energy. Too much cushioning makes you slower and loads your tendons more.Sciatica can often be resolved without surgery - Most sciatica cases respond to understanding the pain mechanism and following proper movement patterns. Surgery should be considered only after conservative approaches have been thoroughly tried.About Vikas Singh:Vikas Singh, an MBA from Chicago Booth, worked at Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, APGlobale, and Reliance before coming up with the idea of democratizing fitness knowledge and helping beginners get on a fitness journey.

Watching biathlon on NBC during the 2018 Winter Olympics inspired New England native Jim Becker to participate in the sport. Today, Dr. Jim Becker is leading an innovative biomechanics research project with the U.S. Biathlon Team, which could make a big difference at the 2026 Winter Games in Italy. Heartbeat met with Becker to discuss his innovative Montana State University program and how it's helping American biathletes.Becker vividly remembers tuning into the Olympics on NBC in 2018. “It was just so cool to watch how things could change in an instant, right? One athlete is leading the race. They come in to shoot. They miss a target. All of a sudden, they're on the penalty loop. Somebody else goes out in the lead. Right? All the way up to the last shoot. “You didn't really know what was going to happen. It was just exciting the entire time. Also, as an athlete, you kind of really appreciated the fitness of these individuals and how hard they're working and how fast they're moving. And I've come to appreciate that even more, you know, really getting to know the sport.”Today, Becker works in kinesiology – the study of human movement. “From a biomechanical perspective, we're looking at what are the forces that generate that movement? What are the forces that are applied to your body during that movement?”The long and short of it is that Becker and his team study human movement to give athletes optimal tactics to capitalize on every single movement.Over the past few seasons, his Montana State University biomechanics research team has collected extensive data from video and other tools, analyzed it, and provided feedback to athletes and coaches.How can it work in practice? Becker discusses how video of athletes on a given course can provide data to offer tactical advice on how to ski that section faster or more efficiently, thereby conserving energy. And, yes, it really works!From Soldier Hollow to Lake Placid, Vuokatti to Antholz, Becker's student researchers are making a difference for U.S. biathletes. If you like to geek out a bit on the science of sport, this is your podcast.Join us for season six, episode three with Dr. Jim Becker to learn more about how the U.S. Biathlon Team is shaving seconds and shooting straighter thanks to innovative data analysis.

(00:01) Teaching Golf Standards and Challenges This chapter features an engaging conversation with Brian Manzella, a renowned golf instructor who is highly ranked in both Golf Magazine's Top 100 Teachers and Golf Digest's Top 50 Teachers lists. We explore the challenges of finding a suitable golf teacher who can adapt to individual learning styles rather than enforcing a one-size-fits-all approach. Brian shares insights into the low standards in the golf teaching industry, contrasting it with other professions that require certifications. He reflects on his career choices and aspirations, and the conversation highlights the importance of having experienced and qualified instructors in golf. Brian's journey and thoughts offer a valuable perspective on the state of golf instruction today. (11:26) Standardizing Golf Instruction This chapter addresses the challenges and opportunities in the world of golf instruction, particularly focusing on biomechanics and communication within the PGA of America. I explore the contrasting methodologies between various biomechanics schools, such as Jacobs 3D and TPI, and question the potential for a unified approach. The conversation also critiques the communication skills in teaching, suggesting that studying successful educators could be more beneficial. I propose two actionable solutions to enhance teaching standards: first, requiring PGA instructors to upload a 30-minute lesson annually, which could foster transparency and inspire improvement; and second, initiating monthly Zoom meetings led by thought leaders, providing a platform for sharing knowledge and techniques. However, I acknowledge potential resistance due to fears of embarrassment and reluctance to showcase one's methods publicly. (19:16) Selecting the Right Golf Instructor This chapter explores how to cultivate emotional attachment to football games when you don't naturally support local teams, such as the Cincinnati Bengals or the Cleveland Browns. By placing bets on platforms like FanDuel, you can create a rooting interest, enhancing your enjoyment and engagement with the games. We also discuss the challenges and politics within the PGA of America regarding innovation and the reluctance to embrace new teaching methodologies due to potential backlash from established professionals. Finally, we address the confusion some might face when seeking golf lessons and how to find the right instructor to improve their game. (28:47) Establishing Standards in Golf Instruction This chapter explores the challenge of identifying great golf teachers and critiques the current system that often relies on reputation and word of mouth. We discuss the flaws in how professional golfers select instructors, noting that the same few teachers are recycled without necessarily being the best. There's a call for a more structured and standardized system to evaluate golf teachers, much like other professions have, to ensure quality instruction. We suggest that someone with a comprehensive understanding of golf instruction, like Brian, could lead an organization to establish fair and effective criteria for rating teachers. The conversation also touches on the need for better communication skills among instructors to improve how they convey their knowledge to students. (38:29) The Golf Instruction Industry Issues This chapter explores the cyclical nature of golf teaching trends and the resurgence of topics like the golfing machine and O'Grady's methodologies on social media platforms. We reflect on how these discussions have been extensively debated in forums and Facebook groups over the years, and yet continue to re-emerge with new generations. The idea of creating an archival system to document these recurring trends is discussed, emphasizing the need for a structured approach to preserving golf teaching history. Additionally, we analyze the influence of tour instructors and the fluctuation of their perceived credibility, noting that many gain prominence without having developed players from the ground up. The conversation also touches on the lack of dedicated media coverage for the golf teaching industry, suggesting that more consistent scrutiny could address ongoing issues and misconceptions. (50:08) The Future of Golf Instruction This chapter focuses on the future of the golf teaching business and how it can be improved. We explore the potential for customization in golf instruction, emphasizing the importance of tailoring lessons to individual players' needs. The conversation highlights the potential for increased visibility of personalized coaching through online platforms, allowing coaches to showcase their work with specific players. While AI is acknowledged as a transformative force, the discussion shifts to the shortcomings of golf telecasts, particularly the lackluster performance of current announcers. We discuss the idea of offering alternative commentary options, allowing viewers to choose more engaging and knowledgeable voices to enhance the viewing experience. The overall sentiment is that both golf instruction and telecasts have room for improvement, and there is hope for more personalized and entertaining approaches in the future. (54:42) Celebrating Golf Music Memories This chapter is all about having a good time with a nod to musical nostalgia and a touch of humor. We explore the joys of appreciating pickles and the fun of picking who you love, alongside a light-hearted mention of Dan Hicks and the Hot Licks, specifically their classic song "How Can I Miss You When You Won't Go Away." It's a mix of laughter and fond memories as we share this entertaining moment. Ryan and I have a great exchange, highlighting the fun and camaraderie of the group, while also playfully acknowledging the presence of cynicism. It's a heartfelt thanks to Ryan for joining us, as we wrap up another engaging session on Those Weekend Golf Guys. #GolfInstruction, #BrianManzella, #TeachingStandards, #PGAofAmerica, #Biomechanics, #Communication, #AdaptiveTeaching, #IndividualLearningStyles, #Certification, #InstructionalStandards, #AI, #PersonalizedCoaching, #GolfTelecasts, #MusicalNostalgia, #Camaraderie, #GolfCommunity, #GolfIndustry, #TeachingTrends, #GolfTeachers, #GolfMediaCoverage Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Actionable Takeaways: Use yoga or mindful movement practices as low-intensity ways to stay connected when injured. Pay attention to biomechanics during rehab—it's not just about healing tissue, but about moving better long-term. Reframe injuries as opportunities to explore different forms of movement. 10:43 – Discovering Movement Connections Through Slow Practice Key Idea: Slowing things down can reveal hidden connections between muscles, joints, and fascia. Tim found value in practicing movement slowly before adding intensity. Actionable Takeaways: Strip movements down and slow them until you can feel the sequence. Use slow practice as a diagnostic tool to notice leaks, compensations, or missing links. Build control first, then layer on speed and power. 23:26 – Parkour Training as a Unique Learning Process Key Idea: Parkour introduced Tim to exploration, problem-solving, and adapting movement to different environments. Actionable Takeaways: Use obstacle-based tasks to force creative movement solutions. Train adaptability—don't just repeat drills, but give athletes problems to solve. Embrace exploration: movement learned through play tends to stick. 31:41 – Balancing Intensity, Recovery, and Longevity in Training Key Idea: Tim highlights that chasing intensity every session can shorten careers—longevity requires balance. Actionable Takeaways: Periodize intensity with recovery—don't redline every workout. Prioritize sustainability: ask “Can I do this 10 years from now?” Recovery practices are as important as the training itself. 42:08 – The Value of Gentleness in Building Strength Key Idea: Strength doesn't always come from force—sometimes it's built by gentleness, precision, and subtlety. Actionable Takeaways: Explore lighter, more mindful work instead of always going maximal. Recognize that gentleness can rewire coordination in ways brute strength cannot. Use precise, controlled practice as a pathway to more efficient power later.
