Whether you’re an athlete or not, proper movement is the key to preventing injury and staying fit overall. DNS is one of the many tools that is helping people properly find stabilization and operate at peak performance. Today’s guest is an expert in its application and is here to share how this movement system can help you too. Dr. Michael Rintala is a San Diego based chiropractor who has specialized in rehabilitation and sports medicine for 17 years. His career has taken him to work with golfers on the PGA tour, professional surfers, and athletes of all sorts. Dr. Rintala explains what it means to be a chiropractor for athletes. DNS (Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization) is a large part of the work that he does. Dr. Rinalta shares how it has been instrumental in keeping high-performers in top shape. If you’ve never heard of DNS and its role in rehabilitation, Dr. Rintala breaks it down in terms that any of us should be able to understand. It all hinges on deep stabilization which in turn permits better joint movement throughout the body. Dr. Rintala uses this throughout his practice and explains how it has helped many people, from professional to amateur athletes, manage their movement better and avoid injury. How might you be able to apply DNS in your practice? Let me know in the comments on the episode page! In this episode The type of work that chiropractors do when serving athletes The role of DNS in improving the efficiency of movement Common biomechanical compensations and injuries of elite and amateur surfers What the Czech Get-Up is and why it is a good alternative to the Turkish Get-Up Quotes “If we improve efficiency in our movement, we decrease potential for injury and we increase the potential for performance.” [6:45 “Ideal deep stabilization - that ability to create a fixed point through the trunk and the pelvis - also allows the joint centration throughout the whole chain of movement with the human body.” [10:43] “If I can maintain the synergy and stabilization and joint centration through the transitions at each developmental sequence, that’s where the magic happens in integrating dynamic movement into the sport you do.” [25:23] Links Find Dr. Michael Rintala online Follow Dr. Rintala on YouTube | Facebook | Instagram Prague School of Rehabilitation The Czech Get-Up IntelliSkin Check out the full show notes for this episode here Urban Wellness Clinic Follow Emily & Urban Wellness on Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | YouTube
Today’s episode features javelin coach and athlete Kevin Foster. Kevin is a former Division I javelin thrower for the University of Connecticut. He is currently training to compete post-collegiately as an athlete for the 2020 Olympic Trials in the javelin event. Kevin works as a private trainer and consultant, specializing in javelin. A young coaching prodigy, Kevin is one of the brightest and holistic young minds in the field. He has been a prolific writer for Just Fly Sports in the last couple of years, and owns the popular Instagram page @javelin.anatomy. Kevin is integrating ideas from many great minds in training, such as former podcast guests such as David Weck, Ben Patrick and Adarian Barr. He is also familiar with ideas from DNS (Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization) and Ido Portal, alongside many others. This episode is all about getting to the core of what it means to be athletic. Kevin clearly asks the question of what are we missing out on by just thinking about force from a quantitative perspective, and ignoring the total design and abilities of the body in respect to movement. The more we know and understand about what makes the best athletes in the world the best, the more we can infuse this into our own coaching process. On today’s show, Kevin talks about some technical aspects of the javelin throw and throwing in general from a perspective of the feet, elbows and hands. He gets deep into the elastic potential of the body from a perspective of waveforms and body segments, essentially, things that make an elite athlete able to transfer energy properly. Of a particular focus on this show is Kevin’s take on the feet, hips and spine in making the ultimate elastic athlete. If you don’t care about javelin throw, or throwing concepts skills in general for that matter, you may want to skip to around 20-25 minutes into the talk. Today’s episode is brought to you by SimpliFaster, supplier of high-end athletic development tools, such as the Freelap timing system, kBox, Sprint 1080, and more. Key Points How coiling the body shows up in Kevin’s training for javelin How “pistol finger” works to lock the front big toe in throwing How the tongue works to direction tension to different parts of the body in athletics Examples of how Kevin trains throws from the perspective of the feet The importance of spinal segmentation in athletic performance and practical training What inspired Kevin to consider training on the level of energy and waveforms How to unlock the bodies elastic potential and why it is important to do so before optimizing other forms of training Kevin Foster Quotes “How you conceptualize the throw matters, if you just view the throw as a series of body parts moving you are going to set yourself up for very thinking brain, very rigid movement” “With the opposite hand when you are throwing, you need to be thinking about pronation in the hand of the reaching arm” “The tongue can direct tension to different parts of the body, so if you look at pictures of Jan Zelezny on his javelin release, you’ll see his tongue pushing into different parts of his mouth” “Movement is more than muscle… focusing on (squat routines and VBT) is focusing on the 1% compared to the 99%” “The feet and the hips and the spine are all connected in a much bigger way than we normally give credit for, so getting strong arches and capsular hip internal rotation, those are two ways to take slack out of system, so that’s how become fascially dominant as an athlete, to get that slack out of the system, it’s that neurofascial remodeling that takes place” “You need spinal segmentation, you need to be able to move every vertebrae to transfer energy optimally” “In order to unlock fascia driven movement, you need to strengthen the arches, you need to develop the ability to internally rotate your hips, and you need the ability to segment your spine”
This week's episode is a must listen... for several reasons. We're diving into the phrase "Common Sense" but we're not alone. Our friends from the Buckhorn Podcast (Randy and Brandon) join us and we also had a very special surprise visit from our good friend Dr. Richard Ulm! The five of us look at the literal definition of common sense, what it actually means versus how it is generally used, why it can be a trap when misused or not understood, AND why you should probably remove the term from frequent use. The antics get the right amount of crazy but the discussion is really fun as five completely different personalities and backgrounds work through their views on the topic and what it means to them!

It’s a common misconception that elite athletes are always in perfect form and at the pinnacle of physical fitness. Many however are dealing with chronic injury. If you’ve listened to this podcast before you know I’m a huge fan of DNS (Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization). My guest, Dr. Brett Winchester knows what it likes to use DNS to help athletes operating at peak performance and how it can be applied to anyone seeking rehab. At his St. Louis area clinic Dr. Winchester helps athletes by combining functional movement and functional medicine. He’s worked as a trainer with the Cardinals and as an instructor at Logan University. In addition to treating athletes at home, he travels all over the world to teach DNS. His wealth of knowledge about integrating functional medicine into rehab has been inspiring to me as well as countless other practitioners. Today, Dr. Winchester shares what it’s like to train elite professional athletes as well as more typical patients using DNS methods. DNS is based on neurodevelopmental levels, i.e. how we learned to move as babies. When working with athletes we often come across the dilemma of helping them train to perform at their maximum potential but also within the bounds of safety. Dr. Winchester explains the role that DNS plays in maintaining this tricky balance. We also discuss what it’s like working as a clinician with its demanding and fast-paced lifestyle. Dr. Winchester shares his advice on challenging yourself to be the best you can every day while also maintaining a mindset necessary to avoid burnout. Do you work with athletes? In your experience, what sets them apart (or doesn’t) from other patients? Tell me about it in the comments on the episode page! In this episode: The neurological and physiological differences that separate elite athletes from the rest of us Combining stiffness with movement to achieve the maximum potential of an athletic action The importance of getting to know your patients in order to truly understand the complicated issues behind their conditions How to challenge yourself to be the best clinician possible The mindset you need to prevent burning out as a practitioner What sets DNS apart from other practices and how it is an incredibly powerful tool in rehabilitation Quotes: “I think we’re learning with neuroplasticity that there is a lot that’s possible for everyday people who don’t think they’re professional athletes.” [4:41] “The goal is creating proximal stiffness and then be able to explode your muscles in the periphery off of this stiffness. That’s the name of the game for all athletics.” [8:16] “The important thing is when a patient continues to come back to us and says ‘I’m no better’ and they should be better, we need to audit the body to know … the reason why.” [21:09] “Clinical intuition is clinical recognition.” [23:16] Links: Find Brett’s Practice at Winchester Spine and Sport Follow Brett on Facebook Motion Palpation Institute Grit by Angela Duckworth Grant by Ron Chernow Peak by Anders Ericsson and Robert Pool Listen to Episode 12 with Dr. Richard Ulm Check out the full show notes for this episode here Urban Wellness Clinic Follow Emily & Urban Wellness on Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | YouTube
Many people think of chiropractors as simple back-crackers. I know that that couldn’t be farther from the truth. The proper application of chiropractic medicine has many beneficial effects for anyone in training. My guest today, Dr. Richard Ulm is a perfect case in point as he tells us all about his particular approach to this field. Dr. Ulm is a chiropractor with a background in strength training. He sees his practice as a way to treat patients and help them optimize performance. He travels all over the world teaching DNS (Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization) and has developed his training programs around this model. Dr. Ulm works tirelessly to bridge the gap between DNS and the performance industry. He is truly interested in getting to the bottom of the causes, mechanics, neurology, and anatomy behind the issues he works with. It was truly educational talking with him today and I know you’ll learn a lot too! In this episode, we discuss Dr. Ulm’s particular approach to working with patients that addresses the whole body, not just the point of pain. We look at how many movement patterns are inborn and neurological. More than anything else this all comes down to early development. We also look at how to find your functional capacity and exercise efficiently within that. Have you seen a chiropractor as part of your training? Tell us all about it in the comments on the episode page! In This Episode What DNS is and how it relates to all the aspects of movement The importance of learning and developing movements from infancy and its lifelong effects The difference between moving efficiently and effectively and what that means for your athletic sustainability Which muscles and systems are the most neurologically fragile and how to avoid problems with them Quotes “A lot of time the movement patterns that we’re trying to train are so stubborn or resistant to change or they degrade quickly because of the neurology.” [13:53] “When we’re born the skeletal system, the muscle system, the nervous system is under-developed and it’s going to take another two, three, five years to actually develop these systems and that process, if it does not go to completion, is going to manifest itself in movement dysfunction.” [17:44] “When you challenge the nervous system to a certain point, when you exceed a certain threshold, they’re going to resort into a more primitive stabilizing strategy.” [36:45] Links Athlete Enhancement Follow Dr. Ulm on Instagram Check out the full show notes for this episode here Urban Wellness Clinic Follow Emily & Urban Wellness on Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | YouTube
