There's a lot of bad information out there when it comes to injury treatment and prevention. That's why it's so important to make sure you get information from a reliable source like today's guest, doctor of chiropractic Chantelle Maryuen. Chantelle works at the Runner's Academy clinic in Toronto, offering a variety of services helping runners with “striving to make striving for your goals a joyful experience rather than a painful one”.  Part of the challenge in following research-based principles is that they are so specific to the individual. This means that good treatment for one person could be totally counter-productive for someone else. We want to make this episode as relevant as possible to you, so we'll cover what treatment options are proven to work for the vast majority of runners but also where to find good information to make treatment decisions for yourself.  Treatment doesn't just apply to injuries though. How you treat niggles or soreness can be just as important to keeping you healthy. Whatever your current health, we promise you'll learn something new. During the interview we'll cover topic including: What is the difference between a chiropractor and physiotherapist, and how can each play a role in supporting good health How often and when to consider seeing a clinical professional  What should runners focus on to avoid getting injured  What popular treatment options are actually proven by research to provide benefit How to seek out good advice with treating an injury or pain How to differentiate normal training fatigue from something that might need medical attention A big part of achieving your running goals is staying healthy so that you can get your training done. Unfortunately, taking the wrong approach to treating injuries could be making the situation even worse. That's why you should listen up, to make sure you know what treatment options are proven to help keep you running pain-free.  Guest Bio: Dr. Chantelle Maryuen is a graduate of Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College. She was a competitive cross country and middle to long distance track runner for York University Track Club and the University of Toronto's Varsity Blues. She is a UESCA-certified and NCCP-trained run coach and currently trains for road races. She has clinical interests in running-related injuries, gait analysis, and rehabilitation. She applies various techniques in practice such as Neurofunctional Medical Acupuncture, Active Release Techniques (ART), joint mobilization and manipulation, Neurodynamic Solutions (NDS), exercise, education, and the latest evidence, to deliver the best patient-centered care.

Welcome to season 2, episode 38 of The Fuel Run Recover podcast, where I'm excited to bring you this in-depth conversation all about staying healthy and injury free as a runner by improving running mechanics, with Chiropractor, coach, and runner Dr. Caleb Beland. Caleb's journey into chiropractic began during his high school years in Sudbury, where he developed a deep passion for the sport and fitness. His dedication continued at Laurentian University, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology. There, he competed at both provincial and national levels in running and conducted a thesis on the biomechanical differences between long-distance and middle-distance runners at various speeds. Driven by a growing fascination with running mechanics, Caleb started coaching elementary and high school athletes. Today, he employs gait assessment as an essential tool in his practice, helping to identify factors that influence injuries, performance, and overall experience in sports and activities. After graduating from the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College, Caleb began utilizing soft tissue therapy, spinal manipulation therapy, joint mobilizations, acupuncture, and other techniques to assist patients and athletes in recovering from injuries and returning to their favourite activities. He takes great joy in helping others find or rekindle their love for movement. He collaborates with individuals of all ages and abilities, ensuring their training and rehabilitation progress at an appropriate pace, whether they are recovering from an injury or gearing up for their first race. Outside the clinic, Caleb trains for races ranging from 5k to half marathons. He is often seen running along the Lake Ontario waterfronts, joining others who share his enthusiasm for the sport. You can find Caleb on Instagram @caleb.the.chiro! Looking for the other resources mentioned in today's episode? ⁠⁠⁠⁠Get your free fueling and strength training guide for runners here⁠⁠⁠⁠

In today's podcast episode, I speak with physical therapist, chiropractor, researcher and educator, Greg Lehman. Greg has been in the rehabilitation field for more than 20 years. Following his undergraduate degree in Kinesiology, he was awarded the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology Gold Medal for highest academic performance in Kinesiology. This degree allowed him to obtain certification as a Strength and Conditioning Specialist and Certified Fitness Appraiser and to work as a Strength and Conditioning coach for Sir Wilfrid University's Men's Basketball team and for Queen's University Women's Varsity Hockey Team. Greg's success in university resulted in being awarded a graduate scholarship (NSERC) to the University of Waterloo to be one of only two Masters students per year studying at the Occupational Biomechanics Laboratory, a world leader in Spine Biomechanics, exercise prescription and athletic performance. As a faculty member at the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College, Greg developed a research program that produced more than 20 publications on exercise biomechanics, golf fitness and the science of manual therapy. He has taught more than 25 graduate students in Spine Biomechanics and Research Instrumentation and supervised more than 50 students and 20 undegraduate research theses. He was subsequently awarded a Researcher of the Year award by the Ontario Chiropractic Association. These days, most of Greg's time with patients is spent one-on-one using exercise, load/stress management, manual therapy techniques and education.  Both pain, injury and performance are influenced by a number of factors in an individual's life.  Greg's approach addresses the multitude of these contributors and he primarily works with my patients to come up with strategies where they are actively involved in their recovery.

Have you ever stopped and marveled at the intricate design of the human body? It contains trillions of cells, 78 different organs, and more than 60,000 miles of blood vessels. Over 7 trillion nerves form the complex nervous system, which is the central portal to all body systems, including our bones.    Within the nervous system is the vital nerve in charge of involuntary biological processes.

Dr. Isaac Norman (@isaacnorman.dc), D.C. BKin (Honours) graduated Cum Laude from Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in 2020. Dr. Norman grew up in a coastal community family that fostered a love of nature, community, healthy eating, respect for the ocean and outdoor activity as a way of life, including hiking, biking, kayaking and surfing. He now treats patients as a chiropractor at Bloor Yonge Chiropractic in Toronto.His experiences during his formative years led him naturally and inevitably to a career in health care. As an evidence-based practitioner, Dr. Norman is a primary health care professional with expert knowledge in spinal and musculoskeletal health, emphasizing diagnosis and patient centered care. Dr. Norman provides a combination of treatment styles to treat a spectrum of patients and conditions. His approach to treatment includes diversified chiropractic adjusting, patient rehabilitation and education.In case you were unaware, the ocean is pretty powerful. You can't go into the ocean and expect to impose your will. You've got to be prepared, make a plan, and then execute. Similar to fitness, things are not going to just happen by accident. You need to understand what you're doing, make a plan, and then execute that plan. We spoke at length about the mindset going into training, as well as the mindset applied to the way Dr. Norman treats his patients. You must use a well thought out, and individualized plan that takes into consideration all possible factors. We also spoke quite a bit about Crossfit as a sport, activity and community as it's something Isaac has recently been getting in to. You can connect with Dr. Isaac Norman on IG. If you live in Toronto, he treats out of Bloor Yonge Chiropractic, and you contact the clinic to book an appointment here. I would greatly appreciate any comments, questions or feedback.

On this episode we talked the evolutionary development of our nervous system, neuroception vs perception, autonomic balance, the vagus as the elusive link between mind, body and spirit, and how to activate your vagus nerve.  If you've ever lived in stress, you're not going to want to miss this!Grab your FREE PDF and 20 minute Root-Cause Call with Dr. A: http://welcome.reset3.ca/ △ABOUT ALYSSADr. Ah-lee-sha graduated From the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College and started practising just north of Toronto, Canada. After being out in practice she noticed that patients experiencing chronic stress did not heal as well as others not experiencing stress.This led to a four year deep dive into the clinical research on stress, the autonomic nervous system, genetics, epigenetic‘s, and longevity. As a result, she has developed her signature Vagus Nerve Treatment that has been proven to activate the vagus nerves and supports the nervous system shift her patients need to finally heal.Last year she launched a 12-week online program that teaches people how to shift their focus from pain to the root cause inside their nervous system so that they can get back to moving pain-free. Program members have already experienced dramatic shifts in their health!  △CONNECT WITH ALYSSAInstagram: @r.e.s.e.t.3Website: www.reset3.ca△MENTIONED RESOURCESBook: The Polyvagal Theory: Neurophysiological Foundations of Emotions, Attachment, Communication, and Self-Regulation, by Stephen W.

Greg Lehman…On Becoming a Movement OptimistJoin the conversation on Movement Optimism as Physiotherapist and strength and conditioning expert, Greg Lehman chats to Raphael Bender about Movement Optimism and the idea that everything is biomedically driven. We discuss why he prefers a comprehensive capacity approach in addition to looking to specific evidence-based research when helping clients prevent pain and injury. Greg also dives into the idea of muscle ‘dysfunction' as a cause of pain, and why he never vilifies an activity or movement. What You Will Learn:The philosophy of Movement Optimism and Greg Lehman's framework for working within a biopsychosocial model Why biomechanics research invalidates the idea of dysfunction in muscles Why we shouldn't worry about scapula dyskinesias despite what a recent study suggests Greg's thoughts on the relationship between knee valgus and ACL injury The dichotomy of loading muscles and why it's a misapplication of research Explaining PainThe fact that pilates clients are often looking for a definitive diagnosis for their pain is often a barrier to movement specialists using a biopsychosocial approach. Greg Lehman and Raph discuss why it is so critical to give clients a comprehensive explanation for their pain, in clear vocabulary that takes into account their life holistically, and how the Movement Optimism approach helps practitioners do that. Whole-Person WellbeingWe unpack the idea of reframing pain under an emergent approach rather than a linear one, how we can take a client's lifestyle into account when discussing their concerns. As Pilates teachers, it is important to understand that we should not only be looking at research specific to their rotator cuff, or their hamstring or other areas of pain, but we also need to get the low-down on their stress levels, their sleep, and their all-round wellbeing to effectively support them. Why ‘Vulnerable' Muscles are a MythGreg also discusses the misapprehension perpetuated by some fitness influencers that certain muscles are ‘vulnerable' in some way. Just because you see something happen once or twice in practice doesn't make it a truth — jumping to faulty conclusions is dangerous for us and our clients. We explore why unvalidated theories get accepted as truth and how to bust baseless myths with good quality evidence-based research. About Greg Lehman:Greg is a Canadian physiotherapist, chiropractor, and strength and conditioning specialist treating musculoskeletal disorders within a biopsychosocial model. He is incredibly well-read, a highly skilled educator. And he's funny. Before his clinical career, Greg received a Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council MSc graduate scholarship and became one of only two students each year to train with Professor Stuart McGill in his Occupational Biomechanics Laboratory, subsequently published more than 20 peer-reviewed papers in the manual therapy and exercise biomechanics field. He was an assistant professor at the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College teaching a graduate-level course in Spine Biomechanics and Instrumentation as well as conducting more than 20 research experiments while supervising more than 50 students. Greg has lectured on several topics on reconciling treatment biomechanics with pain science, running injuries, golf biomechanics, occupational low back injuries, and therapeutic neuroscience.

From there she practiced both chiropractic and craniosacral therapy until committing solely to cranial work and prebirth and birth healing in 2003. After opening Emerging Families, a centre dedicated to therapy, research, and education for the prebirth and birth period, she published her first book, The Secret Life of Babies: How Our Prebirth and Birth Experiences Shape Our World, 2014. Her second book, It's Never Too Late: Healing Prebirth and Birth At Any Age, out this year, is a practical guide to for parents, caregivers, and health care providers. She follows in the tradition of R.D. Laing through her mentor, Andrew Feldmar—whose only approach is to suspend any protocol and labels, and to respectfully follow the patient who is entrusted to guide his or her own life. Her techniques are also influenced by Osteopathy, Body-Mind Centering, and her time serving the 13 Indigenous Grandmothers, as well as by her years in The Orphan Wisdom School in Ontario, Canada, and studying with Dr. and Elder, Malidoma Some. 

Welcome to another episode of The Words Matter Podcast.On this episode I speak with Dr Peter Stilwell. Peter holds a Kinesiology degree from the University of Calgary, Doctor of Chiropractic degree from the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College, and graduate degrees (MSc and PhD) from Dalhousie University.He is currently a Postdoctoral Researcher at McGill University and his research interests include pain, suffering, and patient-clinician communication. Many of you will be familiar with Peter's excellent paper with Katherine Hartman on moving beyond the BPS model toward a 5-E enactivist approach to understanding and managing MSK pain.In problematising the BPS model in the way that it did, the paper really caused me to reflect on how I viewed and implemented the spirit of BPS  into my work. I know that the paper was a similar stimulus for many other of my own colleagues and clinicians across the MSK professions.So in this episode we: Delve into some of the underlying assumptions and lack of theoretical foundations of the BPS model and how enactivism addresses these gaps. We talk about some of the issues of the BPS model in regards to its vagueness in its application and its tendency to crudely separate out complex component properties of the experience of pain. We also get into metaphors and how his qualitative research has illuminated the way in which metaphors are used and interpreted by both clinicians and patients. Whilst it was my intention to drill down into his paper and enactivist model, time got the better of us- and I'll be sure to invite Peter on for a follow up episode.As ever with these podcasts, I enjoyed every minute of talking with Peter. His expression “I just wants to do it all” exemplifies his passion, determination and productivity in the furthering if knowledge in person-centred MSK practice.His excitement and hunger is both palpable and infectious and have no doubt he will further build on his already significant contribution to knowledge in this area.Find Peter on Twitter @Peter_StilwellAnd more about his work hereSubscribe to www.wordsmatter-education.com , and if you liked the podcast, you'l love the Words Matter online course in effective language and communication when managing back pain - ideal for all MSK therapists and students.Help the podcast grow and don't miss an episode- Subscribe, Rate and Share. Instagram @Wordsmatter_educationTwitter @WordsClinicalFacebook Words Matter - Improving Clinical Communication ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

www.thewellness.cafe   Dr. Norman's passion in life is helping people connect to their innate potential. After witnessing firsthand how his father avoided invasive back surgery through regular chiropractic care, he decided to commit his life to studying the healing arts.    He took his formal studies at The University of Saskatchewan and at the prestigious Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College. He has since pursued numerous workshops and seminars refining his approach to Chiropractic which uses Network Spinal Analysis as the main foundation for his work. Dr. Norman Detillieux runs and operates The Lifehouse Chiropractic Studio and volunteers in the community through his "Giving Back" projects. He also leads a number of different workshops centered on wellness care, creating community, awareness of the benefits of chiropractic care and a holistic approach to health as he loves to see others achieve their own greatness. Recently Dr. Norman witnessed his mother heal herself of stage four ovarian cancer.       Dr. Detillieux and I talked about the concept of the “Inner Guru” and how to tap into your intuition and use it to guide us. He shared a powerful story about his mother's healing from stage four ovarian cancer. The truth is that the “Power” to heal is within us, it's the innate wisdom or the force of life that heals.
