What if one subtle collapse in your lower body is quietly driving most of your pain, stiffness, and "mystery" injuries? In this episode of The MOVEMENT Movement, Steven Sashen speaks with Dr. Mike Wasilisin, Founder and CEO of MoveU, who breaks down why most pain and injuries trace back to a few predictable misalignment patterns. After running a sports injury clinic and later selling it to build MoveU, he now teaches movement and alignment methods for everyday people and also teaches in chiropractic and PT education settings. In this episode, Mike explains valgus collapse, hip and spinal compensation, scapular position, and why minimalist footwear and better body awareness can help you move with greater durability and less inflammation. Key Takeaways: → Valgus collapse, where the knee caves inward, contributes to issues ranging from foot pain to knee and hip problems. → Foot position matters, and toes turned outward often reinforce poor knee tracking over time. → Misalignment shifts the load to the arch and soft tissues instead of distributing the force properly. → Hip drop from poor alignment can lead to compensations and increased back stress. → Posture determines stress distribution, with hyperextension loading joints and flattening loading discs. Dr. Mike Wasilisin's journey in healthcare and fitness began in 2000 at a chiropractic rehab clinic while he was earning a Psychology degree from Kent State, which he completed in 2004. In 2009, he earned his doctorate in chiropractic from Palmer College, specializing in body mechanics, strength training, pain psychology, and soft-tissue therapy using TPI, ART, FMS, and SFMA. From 2009 to 2017, he built a thriving private practice in San Diego and began teaching Kinesiology at California State University while running CaliSpine, a clinic specializing in low-back pain rehabilitation. After a viral quadratus lumborum video reached 4 million views in 2015, he committed to going fully online, frustrated by the limitations of traditional healthcare. That led to the creation of MoveU in 2016, a movement that helps people take control of their bodies through structured programs free from insurance red tape. Now, with over 3 million social media followers and more than 150,000 people having gone through MoveU programs, the impact continues to grow. Featured in Men's Health, CBS, and Live with Mark & Kelly, Dr. Mike's mission is clear—helping people stop treating pain as an emergency and start recognizing it as a lifestyle issue that can be addressed through awareness, movement, and a long-term plan.

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!You can take classes six days a week, sweat through your clothes, and still feel stuck when you want bigger glutes, a tighter waist, and that athletic “trained” look. We're talking about the classic cardio bunny: the ClassPass regular who does Pilates, yoga, and body pump style workouts, yet never gets the overload needed for real muscle growth. The fix is not more exhaustion. The fix is a better assessment and a plan that matches the goal. We walk through how we run the initial consultation like pros: PAR-Q basics, training history, and the most important part, finding the real “why” behind the goal. We also cover SMART goals that are specific, measurable, realistic, and tied to a timeline that makes sense. If the client says they want to lose weight and build glutes, we explain how body recomposition actually works, why the scale can lie, and what to track instead, including measurements and strength standards. Then we take it to the gym floor with a clear assessment workout blueprint built around the movements that drive glute hypertrophy and total-body strength: loaded reverse lunges, RDL hinge work, chin-up progressions, and hip thrust or goblet options depending on skill and equipment. Finally, we get real about the business side of personal training: presenting packages calmly, handling “too expensive,” and navigating “I need to talk to my husband” with a human conversation rooted in value, emotion, and results.

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!Meathead_rehab = DPT breakdown of the FMS.A movement screen can feel like a truth serum, but what if it's really just a narrow test that gets mistaken for a diagnosis? We sit down with Dr Motley (DPT) to talk through the Functional Movement Screen (FMS), why it often fails great athletes, and how it gets misused by trainers and clinicians who turn scores into scary predictions. If you've ever heard “you're a 1 here, so you're going to get hurt,” we unpack why that claim doesn't hold up and what to do instead. We dig into the real-world difference between screening and coaching: using simple observations to guide training versus letting a system dictate every “corrective” choice. We also get honest about the incentives that push fear-based messaging in fitness and insurance-based physical therapy, and why movement optimism matters more than posture perfection. Along the way, we hit evidence-based practice as it's meant to be used: balancing research, client preferences, and professional experience so you can make better decisions with real humans. Then we go after a classic hot button: foam rolling, fascia talk, and the myth of “breaking up adhesions.” We're not here to ban tools that help people feel better, but we are here to stop wasting half a session on rituals that replace strength work and confidence-building training. If you want a practical, common-sense approach to assessment, rehab, and performance that keeps people lifting and moving, you'll get a ton from this conversation.

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!Most trainers think the “assessment” is where you prove how smart you are. We think it's where you prove you're safe, clear, and worth paying. We break down a client assessment process that changes based on context, whether you're stuck doing a required movement screen at a big gym or you're an independent personal trainer building your own system. The through-line is simple: it depends on the person, but your standards stay high.We start with what too many coaches ignore: professionalism and expectation setting. How you show up, how the space looks, how you greet someone, and how you explain the plan for the hour all impact trust. From there we move into the discovery process that makes the rest of the session easier, including PAR-Q screening, goal setting, and the kinds of questions that uncover real motivation and make a client feel heard. If you want better retention, better referrals, and a smoother sales process, you need this part to be intentional.We also get practical on assessments that add real value, like grip strength and blood pressure. We talk about why blood pressure is a frontline metric for personal training safety, what “red flags” look like, and when you need to send someone to a doctor. Then we map out a first workout that is simple, beginner-friendly, and built around core movement patterns with smart accessories so clients feel a win without getting crushed. We close with how to present training packages confidently, avoid backtracking on price, and guide the conversation toward a clear next step.If you found this helpful, subscribe for more coaching, programming, and business tactics for personal trainers, share this with a trainer who needs a better assessment flow, and leave a quick review with your biggest takeaway.No overhead assessments at Show Up Fitness like NASM or FMS, just results while trainers build a career: Assessing a new client is one of the most important skills a personal trainer can master—especially when working with a beginner.

In this episode, we sit down with Almir Maljević—FMS partner in Bosnia, educator, and instructor for FMS courses—who has built a thriving system by doing one thing differently:He starts with the person, not the program.From rebuilding his own path after injury… to realizing strength and power weren't the missing piece… to going all-in on screening, systems, and education…This is a real conversation about what actually works—and what most people get wrong.You'll learn:• Why strength and power aren't enough • The moment he realized he needed to “empty the cup” • How screening changed everything • Why most coaches skip the most important step • How to build trust before training • The difference between being busy vs effective • Why education—not exercise—is the real value • How he built a business from zero clients to a scalable system This isn't theory.This is what it looks like when you apply the principles—and stick to them.---More about our guestWebsite: https://www.pfhsc.ba/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/team_pfhsc/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ProFit.Health.StrengthAndConditioning/---#FMS #MovementPodcast #SFMA #Coaching #FunctionalTraining #PerformanceFunctional Movement SystemsYouTubeFacebookInstagramX (Twitter)Subscribe to the FMS Newsletter

Episode 216: Fibromyalgia Overview Reitta Wyllie and Tejasvi Ayaggari (medical students) discuss with Dr. Arreaza the presentation, diagnosis and management of fibromyalgia, a commonly unrecognized disease that may impact patient's quality of life if left untreated. Written by Reitta Nash, MSIV, American University of the Caribbean. Additional commentary provided by Dr. Tejasvi Ayyagari. Edits and comments by Hector Arreaza, MD. You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice. Introduction Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain condition that affects millions of people worldwide, yet it remains one of the most misunderstood disorders in medicine. Patients often experience widespread pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, cognitive difficulties, and a host of other symptoms that significantly impact daily functioning and quality of life. TJ: It's common, but I feel it is mostly misunderstood and sometimes goes undiagnosed. Reitta: Yes, despite its prevalence, fibromyalgia has historically been met with skepticism, delayed diagnosis, and stigma. Today, we'll break down what fibromyalgia is, what we know about its underlying mechanisms, how it's diagnosed, and how it's managed using evidence-based approaches. What is fibromyalgia? Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, accompanied by symptoms such as fatigue, non-restorative sleep, cognitive dysfunction often referred to as “fibro/brain fog,” and mood disturbances. TJ: Unlike inflammatory or autoimmune diseases, fibromyalgia does not cause structural damage to joints or muscles, nor does it produce objective findings on imaging or routine laboratory testing. Instead, it is considered a centralized pain disorder, meaning pain processing within the central nervous system is altered. Arreaza: Many years ago, I had a patient who had fibromyalgia in Germany. He shared how hard it was for him to get diagnosed and treated because many countries fail to recognize fibromyalgia as a disease. However, Germany is not one of them. The German Association of the Medical Scientific Societies (AWMF) has established specific diagnostic criteria for fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS). Also, the World Health Organization recognizes fibromyalgia as a chronic condition, and it is included in the International Classification of Diseases 10th edition (ICD-10). Reitta: The American College of Rheumatology (ACR) recognizes fibromyalgia as a distinct clinical diagnosis, affecting approximately 2–4% of the population, with a higher prevalence in women, though it can affect individuals of any sex or age. Historical Perspective Fibromyalgia was once referred to by terms such as fibrositis, a name that implied inflammation of connective tissue. However, as research failed to demonstrate inflammatory changes, the terminology evolved. In 1990, the American College of Rheumatology introduced the first formal diagnostic criteria, which focused heavily on tender point examination. Over time, these criteria were revised as understanding of the condition improved. Modern diagnostic criteria no longer rely on tender points and instead emphasize symptom severity and widespread pain distribution, reflecting a more patient-centered and clinically practical approach. What causes fibromyalgia? The exact cause of fibromyalgia is not fully understood, but current evidence supports a multifactorial, neurobiological model. The American Academy of Family Physicians identifies a spectrum of chronic overlapping pain conditions that frequently coexist with fibromyalgia, including IBS, TMJ pain, vulvodynia, Chronic fatigue syndrome, interstitial cystitis, endometriosis, chronic tension headaches, migraine, and chronic low back pain. These functional somatic conditions may represent a single disorder manifesting as pain in different body regions at different times over the life span. _____________________ References: Aaron RV, Ravyts SG, Carnahan ND,et al.

We sat down with Adam Meakins to talk about critical thinking in the rehab and strength world.McGill. Squat U. FMS. Back pain fear. Neurotic athletes. Fascia training. “Magic coaching eye.” This is a conversation about nuance.How to question dogma without becoming a troll. How to think critically without becoming arrogant. Why most pain problems are dosage problems. Why graded exposure beats avoidance. Why strength training is safer than sitting on the couch. If you're a young coach trying to find your voice without becoming a carbon copy of your mentors, this one's for you.Timestamps:0:00 Intro2:05 Poking holes in dogma without being a troll10:56 Willful ignorance, sunk cost fallacy, and Squat U18:07 Planting seeds vs shock-and-awe on social media26:00 Scapular dyskinesis and the myth of perfect symmetry34:15 FMS, asymmetry, and creating neurotic athletes45:49 “You'll get hurt if you don't”50:00 Back pain, surgery culture, and financial incentives56:05 Graded exposure vs avoiding movements1:07:27 Fascia training, slings, and overcomplicating everything
In this episode, Sean and Cody explain why Active Life's movement assessment deliberately avoids popular top-down screens like the overhead squat and instead relies on joint-level, bottom-up testing. Sean walks through how the assessment was originally adapted from his clinical work and why the goal is not to watch a movement fail, but to predict how a movement will fail before loading ever occurs. The conversation breaks down the real limitations of screens such as the FMS when used with general population clients and even high-level athletes. Sean explains how skilled athletes can hide massive inefficiencies through compensation, creating false confidence and false negatives, while less skilled clients may fail screens simply because of coordination rather than true joint limitations. The group clarifies the difference between identifying a problem and having a usable path forward to solve it. The episode closes by showing how simple, low-skill, repeatable joint assessments create better client understanding, stronger buy-in, and ultimately better business outcomes for coaches. By using assessments to answer specific questions instead of gathering vague information, coaches can build more durable programs, reduce unnecessary risk, and create clearer stories clients can share with others—driving both results and referrals. 
The Advisory Board | Expert Franchising Advice for Franchise Leaders
Host Dave Hansen sits down with Raphael Rajan, co-founder and CEO of Easy Assist, to unpack what franchise brands are actually using AI for today—and where things are going next.The big idea: stop “organizing knowledge,” start “accessing it”Raphael shares the origin story behind Easy Assist: after years of large-scale tech transformations, he noticed a recurring issue—companies keep trying to centralize knowledge into a single hub, but in real life, information lives everywhere (and people need answers right now). The breakthrough: use AI to make knowledge instantly accessible across the tech stack, without forcing franchisees and staff to learn yet another system.Why franchising is the perfect storm for thisEasy Assist zeroed in on franchising because it scores high on:high training needs + high turnoverconstant changes in ops, marketing, tools, and compliancea built-in “clone the business” model (ops manuals, training, assets, standards)Raphael describes visiting franchise expos “undercover” as prospective franchisees and hearing the same story repeatedly: franchisors have tons of tools, but franchisees just want support that's fast and simple—especially when support ratios can be 1 person to 50 locations (or more).What Easy Assist does (in plain English)Easy Assist is an AI support + ticketing platform purpose-built for franchise systems. It connects directly to tools brands already use (knowledge bases, file systems, CRMs, FMS platforms, etc.), learns content continuously, and meets users where they already work—text, email, Slack, Teams, web, and more.And importantly: it's human-in-the-loop. If the AI doesn't know, it won't guess—it escalates via ticketing, then learns from the resolution over time.The headline impact: massive support deflection + better insightRaphael and Dave discuss brands seeing 70%+ (even ~74%) deflection of repetitive franchisee questions—freeing franchise performance coaches to focus on coaching instead of inbox triage.But the “sleeper win” is insight: brands finally see what franchisees really struggle with at scale. One example—budgeting surfaced as a major need because franchisees felt more comfortable asking an AI (no judgment, no ego), leading to better training plans and proactive support.Real-world use cases brands are leaning intoTech cutovers: A brand rolling out a major ERP shift integrated FAQs/training/how-tos into Easy Assist and saw 93% of technical questions deflected, including hundreds of questions in the first two weeks—making a dreaded transition far smoother.Operational leverage (inventory + production): A gelato brand with ~300 rotating flavors explored AI workflows that monitor sales + ingredient inventory, predict shortages, and even prompt reorders—turning messy manual processes into guided action.Profitability and performance monitoring: AI watches key KPIs across systems, compares against benchmarks, alerts the right leaders, and suggests next-best actions—so coaches aren't flying blind.Sales and growth workflows: Monitoring funnel health, flagging gaps, and pushing best-practice insights back into the network (without exposing personal data).The next wave: from answers → actions → automationsRaphael frames 2026 as the shift toward agentic AI:AI gives answersAI takes actions inside connected toolsAI runs repeatable workflows (automations) across clusters of tasksThe goal isn't “100 disconnected agents” that become a management nightmare—it's conversational workflow building, plus dashboards that can be created and modified through natural language (think: “turn this into a pie chart,” “compare these units year-over-year,” “save this view”).The success factor nobody can skip: change managementEven with great tech, Raphael emphasizes that adoption comes down to training + expectations + repetition. Pick a high-impact use case, move fast in small iterations, get feedback from franchisees/FAC, and support rollout with hands-on onboarding and refreshers.What's new at Easy AssistRaphael previews their next big push: an agentic workflow builder—a “Jarvis for franchise operators” that helps brands and franchisees automate real work across the systems they already rely on. Dave hints at potential collaboration, especially around action-triggering recommendations inside ClientTether.Connect with RaphaelWebsite: ezeeassist.comEmail: raphael@ezeeassist.comLinkedIn: message him directly

This week on the podcast, I'm pulling back the curtain on something I've never shared publicly before… Inside Farm Marketing School, we've been doing a powerful three-month deep dive on rewriting your money story -- and today, I'm releasing one of those private "members-only" private podcasts here on the main feed. This is Episode 2 of that private series, and it's all about the energy of money -- how it flows, how it gets blocked, and why the emotional tone behind your money exchanges matters just as much as the dollars themselves. You'll hear stories from my own life, teaching rooted in two incredible books, and a practical framework for noticing where your money feels light, joyful, and aligned… and where it feels heavy, tight, or full of fear. Whether you're a farmer, maker, or small business owner, today's episode will help you see your relationship with money with completely new eyes. In This Episode, You'll Learn: The difference between Happy Money and Unhappy Money Why money carries emotional energy — and how it mirrors what you believe about yourself What Lynne Twist means when she says "money is like water — it's meant to flow" Real-life examples of "flow" on the farm (and where it gets stuck!) Why receiving money with gratitude is just as important as giving it How scarcity sneaks into everyday transactions without you noticing A simple 3-part weekly practice to begin shifting your money mindset today I invite you to join us in FMS and experience your own breakthrough when you do this powerful work.

In this episode of Reboot IT, host Dave Coriale sits down with DelCorians Gretchen Steenstra and Kelly Gardner to unpack key takeaways from the AMS Fest Selection Bootcamp. They discuss how associations can streamline AMS selection by focusing on high-value areas, why integration planning is critical, and where AI fits into the process. From vendor relationships to the importance of honest conversations, this episode is packed with practical advice for association leaders preparing for technology change.Themes and Topics:Smarter AMS SelectionFocus on requirements that deliver financial value or direct member benefits rather than every possible feature.Avoid distractions from low-impact features or niche tools during initial selection.Integration PlanningIdentify all systems that need to connect with your AMS (LMS, event registration, e-commerce, FMS, etc.).Communicate integration needs early, including key data points like member ID and email.Data Management (Without the Jargon)Map your ecosystem of systems and data flows to understand dependencies.Use simple language like “data management” instead of intimidating terms like “data governance.”Stakeholder EngagementBuild a diverse core team (finance, marketing, membership, education) for balanced input.Encourage open and honest communication to avoid knowledge silos and missed requirements.Writing RequirementsUnderstand that requirements are hard to write. Start with workflows and member journeys.Clarity and specificity are critical for vendors to configure systems correctly.The Role of AIAI can help summarize RFPs and compare vendor responses—but it should support, not replace, conversations.Avoid using AI to shortcut discovery; it can perpetuate legacy processes and miss deeper improvements.
Există domenii în care schimbarea se vede treptat, aproape imperceptibil. Și există domenii în care realitatea se transformă în timp real, sub ochii noștri. Mobilitatea face parte din a doua categorie. Firmele care folosesc zeci sau sute de vehicule nu mai pot funcționa doar pe intuiție sau pe obiceiurile trecutului. Aici intervine munca unor oameni care privesc funcționarea unei companii nu doar ca pe o operațiune logistică, ci ca pe un organism viu, cu nevoi, fluxuri și responsabilități.Valentin Vasiliță este unul dintre acești oameni. Conduce digitalizarea activităților DKV Mobility în România și lucrează cu companii care vor să își administreze flotele într-un mod mai așezat. Vorbim despre un sector care, deși pare tehnic la exterior, atinge fiecare bucată din viața unei companii: de la costuri, la modul în care lucrează echipele, până la felul în care sunt planificate resursele. Valentin vede aceste piese și încearcă să le pună într-o formă care să aibă sens pentru manageri și pentru șoferi.Principalele lucruri discutate:00:00 Introducere: de ce mobilitatea se schimbă rapid02:53 Parcursul lui Valentin04:54 De ce digitalizarea devine o prioritate pentru companii07:40 Ce înseamnă, concret, digitalizarea unei flote08:50 Vizibilitate, control și date centralizate11:12 Provocările reale în adoptarea soluțiilor digitale14:24 De ce renunțarea la Excel este un pas greu15:23 Sisteme esențiale: FMS, telematică și aplicații mobile18:44 Cum ajută digitalizarea la reducerea costurilor21:24 Datele din sistem și deciziile de business24:08 Cum se transformă datele în optimizare reală26:39 Cel mai important sfat pentru companii la început27:54 Concluzii și gânduri finale
When I first started teaching farm marketing, I noticed something right away: most farmers weren't struggling because they were "bad at marketing" — they were struggling because they had never been taught how to do it. They were winging it, trying to piece things together from YouTube videos and Instagram posts, and feeling defeated when sales didn't budge. Farm Marketing School was born out of that gap — a place where farmers could learn the skills, systems, and confidence they need to market their farms well. And since enrollment for next year is now open, I wanted to finally pull back the curtain and answer the question I get asked all the time: "Is this right for me?" In today's episode, I'm giving you a full behind-the-scenes tour of Farm Marketing School — what it is, how it works, who it's for, and why it transforms the way farmers show up in their business. I walk through our monthly step-by-step projects, the templates and swipe files inside, the coaching support, the community, and the special Money Mindset focus we're diving into this winter. If you've ever wished you could feel more confident and competent in your marketing — like you finally had the tools, structure, and support to stop winging it — this episode will help you see what's possible.

In this episode, we're joined by Kristianna Moralls, founder of the Self-Determination Institute and parent of a young adult with disabilities. She shares the real-world impact of self-determination, sometimes called self-direction or consumer-directed services, a model that lets individuals and families make their own decisions about who provides their care and how.Kristianna explains how her son's transition out of school revealed the “drop-off” many families face when traditional services end and meaningful support suddenly disappears. Discovering self-determination gave her family the ability to hire caregivers who fit her son's life, choose meaningful activities like community college and Dungeons & Dragons nights, and build supports around his goals and personality rather than a rigid system.Key themes explored:Self-direction as a civil rights movement: autonomy, choice, and dignity for people with disabilitiesThe drop-off after high school: why so many families feel abandoned when services shiftCost-effectiveness with better results: families often pay caregivers more while saving public dollars by cutting agency overheadAdministrative reality: empowerment comes with responsibility, and many families need support learning to recruit, hire, budget, and manage care plansRole of FMS providers and technology: the right Financial Management Service and the right tools can make budgeting, staffing, and compliance manageable instead of overwhelmingCalifornia's leadership: a robust and flexible program model other states are expanding towardKristianna also shares how the Self-Determination Institute supports families with training and advocacy, and why collaboration between families, FMS providers, technology platforms, and regional centers is essential for scaling self-directed services nationwide.The big message: Self-direction works. It honors people's abilities, supports independence, strengthens families, and builds more inclusive communities. And yes, it saves money too. When people have the freedom to choose, everyone wins.Home Care Heroes and Day Service Stars is produced and sponsored by Ankota - If you provide services that enable older or disabled people to continue living at home , Ankota can provide you the software to successfully run your agency.

What would you do if the product your customers loved the most—the one they buy first, talk about the most, and happily pay premium prices for—was suddenly GONE… and you knew it would be two years before you could sell it again? This happened to one of my Farm Marketing School members, Stacie. She raises meat and sells a monthly membership that gives her customers first access to everything. But as of this month… her freezers are completely out of beef. Zero inventory. And she won't have more until 2027. She came to our group coaching call in full-on panic mode: "How do I keep selling when I don't have the thing everyone wants? What if my customers leave? What if they go to my competitor? What if my membership loses value?" The coaching that followed turned into one of the most powerful conversations we've had inside FMS. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain and sharing real excerpts from that Farm Marketing School coaching call. And between the clips, I jump in with my commentary to unpack the lessons you must hear—because even if you don't sell beef, I promise you… this conversation is about YOU. We'll explore: ✅ Why making assumptions about your customers will keep you stuck ✅ How scarcity can actually make your product MORE valuable (if you position it right) ✅ The mindset shift every farmer must make if they want to grow and evolve ✅ How running out of product might be the very thing that leads to your next breakthrough offer This episode will challenge the way you think about "problems" in your business—and may just help you see your current roadblock in a totally new way.

In this episode of the Movement Podcast, Gray Cook and Lee Burton explore one of the most complex and debated topics in sports and rehabilitation: predicting athletic performance and ranking talent.With AI and machine learning beginning to shape how we analyze athletes, the conversation unpacks:• How performance is measured—and why it's more than just speed and strength.• The rise of durable performers: athletes who stay healthy, consistent, and coachable.• What new research says about FMS scores and their ability to predict performance—not just prevent injury.• The growing need to consider psychological readiness, engagement, and self-awareness as critical metrics.• Why looking at movement quality, not just quantity, is essential in both elite and youth sports.Whether you're a coach, trainer, healthcare provider, or performance nerd, this discussion will help you rethink how we define, assess, and develop talent.Curious what your wellness score is?

Are the corrective exercise guys bashing correctives? Maybe . . . Lee and Gray take the time to step back, define what correctives are, and detail how they should be used to restore whole movement. Screening plays an important role in identifying movement dysfunction and pain with movement, but the next step doesn't have to be corrective exercise.In this episode of the Movement Podcast, Gray Cook and Dr. Lee Burton challenge the industry's reliance on corrective routines and reveal a smarter, more effective approach to improving movement and performance.From overprescribed "fixes" to missed opportunities in warmups and workouts, the discussion dives into:• The true purpose of corrective exercises• How to screen and interpret movement patterns• When to ditch the corrective—and just adjust the workout• Lessons from Pavel Tsatsouline, Huberman Lab, and NFL-level programming• Practical tips to build programs that restore function and develop strengthWhether you're a coach, clinician, or just someone who trains hard—this conversation will shift the way you view programming, warmups, and performance prep.Watch, learn, and rethink what you call "corrective."Curious what your wellness score is?

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!Follow Doc Chris IG: ChrishughenYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/c/E3RehabWebsite: https://e3rehab.com/NASM / ACE trainers are gonna want to listen to this podcast with Dr. Hughen from E3 Rehab debunking perfect posture, text neck, FMS and the overhead squat analysis.The fitness industry has long perpetuated myths about "perfect posture" and ideal movement patterns, creating fear and limiting beliefs that keep people from fully enjoying movement. In this eye-opening conversation with Dr. Chris Hughen of E3 Rehab, we dismantle these misconceptions and explore what the research actually tells us about human movement.Dr. Hughen shares compelling evidence that challenges common practices like text neck warnings and overhead squat assessments. Despite what many textbooks teach, research consistently shows that static posture doesn't predict pain or injury risk. Your forward head position while texting or "less than perfect" squat form isn't setting you up for inevitable pain—your body is far more resilient than that.We explore how elite athletes like Usain Bolt and Olympic weightlifter Dmitry Klokov excel despite having movement patterns that would fail standard assessments. This natural variation demonstrates that human bodies find unique, individual solutions to movement challenges rather than conforming to arbitrary standards.Most importantly, we discuss the psychological impact of movement correction on clients. When trainers constantly point out "flaws" and focus on "fixing" clients, they often create feelings of fragility and fear. Instead, Dr. Hughen advocates for an approach that builds confidence through exploration, guided discovery, and positive reinforcement.For trainers and fitness enthusiasts alike, this conversation offers a refreshing perspective that celebrates human resilience and adaptability. Rather than chasing perfect form, we should focus on consistency, progressive loading, and helpWant to ask us a question?

Today's guest is Rett Larson, strength coach for the German Women's Volleyball Team and creator of the "No Zombies" training philosophy. Rett coached Olympic medalists with China and the Netherlands, blending energy, rhythm, and purposeful movement into world-class performance. As sport expands into an increasingly more high-pressure, early specialization event that can easily suck fun and joy away, there grows a need for a "counter-culture" within athletic performance. Not only does a "physical preparation" process for athletes that is joyful and gamified lead to more fun within a training session, but it also develops important athletic qualities, within that umbrella of "fun" that may not be possible in more "traditional" sessions. Rett Larson is spearheading an active, engaging approach to the physical preparation process for athletes with warmups designed for joy, engagement, and a comprehensive stimulation of athletic qualities along the way. On today's episode, Rett speaks on a variety of engaging tools and gamifications in the warmup process for both thermogenic and neurological preparation. He goes into his take on partner exercises and isometrics, and the process of using a physical challenge to "sneak" strength and skill elements in the program.

Rett challenges that default. Why not flip the script? Start with something that actually taps into the nervous excitement athletes bring into day one. Instead of draining that spark, use it to build buy-in. What to try: • Kick things off with a creative team challenge instead of movement screens. • Replace punishments with something silly but memorable (e.g., team serenade or worm dance). • Avoid singling people out—no solo singing for introverts. The goal is laughter, not dread. 2️⃣ Rope Flow: Movement Puzzles that Stick If you've ever tried rope flow, you know it's strangely addicting. Rett uses it as a warm-up tool that hits thermogenic, rotational, and coordination qualities all in one. It's essentially a moving puzzle—and that makes it ideal for getting athletes out of zombie mode. What to try: • Add rope flow sequences early in warm-ups to raise body temp and spark engagement. • Mix in new patterns over time so it stays fresh. • Think of it as "motor learning meets party trick"—athletes love that feeling of leveling up. 3️⃣ Partner Work and Social Pressure: The Good Kind Warm-ups don't have to be solo grinds. In fact, the social element is part of the magic. Whether it's balloon volleys in a split squat or partner wall sits, Rett uses simple tools to inject teamwork, laughter, and just the right amount of peer pressure. What to try: • Design partner or trio-based warm-up drills to naturally boost effort and engagement. • Add tasks or games that distract from the burn (like volleying a balloon while holding a lunge).
Back in high school, I was that kid—the one who planned elaborate treasure hunt parties for my friends. I loved the thrill of creating a roadmap and leading them from clue to clue, always pointing to the next step. And honestly? That's what a great thank you page does, too. A wise mentor once told me, "You're always taking your people somewhere..." In this episode, we're talking about the most underutilized page in farm marketing—your thank you page. Whether it appears after someone signs up for your email list or buys your product, your thank you page isn't just a courtesy… it's a powerful moment in your customer's journey.
What happens when a total city girl decides to go all-in on the homesteading life… and ends up building a full-blown farm business from scratch? In this episode, I sit down with Beth DeClerq, a self-taught homesteader who started out just wanting to be self-sufficient—and ended up creating a profitable farm business that's now helping her family build toward a full-time income. Beth didn't grow up farming. She had zero experience with animals or agriculture. But one step at a time—raising chickens, gardening, milking a cow, selling eggs—she figured it out. And along the way, her neighbors started asking if they could buy from her. Fast forward to today, and Beth is scaling her farm operation, growing an online membership that teaches homesteading skills, and using the early bird sales system she learned from this podcast to sell out her pastured poultry… before they've even hit the freezer.
