The Return to Play Framework, Part 1: Why Pain-Free Is NOT The GoalMost athletes, parents, coaches, and even healthcare providers make the same mistake after an injury:They use pain as the primary marker of recovery.But being pain-free and being ready to return to sport are not the same thing.In this episode of The Clinical Leadership Podcast, we explore the Return to Play Framework and explain why pain-free is only one checkpoint—not the finish line. Whether you're working with a youth soccer player, a collegiate athlete, or an active adult, understanding the stages of recovery is critical for reducing re-injury risk and building long-term resilience.You'll learn how successful return-to-play programs progress beyond symptom relief and focus on restoring capacity, confidence, performance, and sport-specific demands.In this episode, we discuss:• Why pain-free is an incomplete measure of recovery• The difference between healing, rehabilitation, and performance readiness• The three stages of the Return to Play Framework:Return to ParticipationReturn to TrainingReturn to Competition• Common mistakes that lead athletes back into the injury cycle• How clinicians can better communicate expectations to athletes and parents• Why objective benchmarks matter more than subjective symptomsWhat Should Be Happening in the Treatment Room?In the Return to Participation phase, treatment should focus on protecting the injured area while minimizing the losses that occur during recovery. The goal isn't simply reducing pain—it's preserving muscle mass, maintaining bone density, restoring movement quality, and preparing the athlete for the demands that lie ahead. Every intervention should answer one question:"How does this move the athlete closer to their sport?"If you're a clinician, coach, athlete, or parent looking for a more effective roadmap after injury, this episode will help you think differently about recovery and performance.Because the goal isn't to get athletes pain-free.The goal is to get them back to doing what they love—better prepared than before they were injured.Connect with ActiveChatt:https://www.activechatt.comConnect with Midwest Rehabilitation Institute:https://www.mwri.coSubscribe to The Clinical Leadership Podcast for weekly conversations on rehabilitation, performance, leadership, and building a better healthcare practice.

Source material provided in the uploaded episode notes.  In This Episode, We Explore:• Why yoga is not simply about stretching• How overstretching can weaken muscles and affect stability• The role of muscle activation in reducing pain• How neuromuscular connection supports joint health• Practical ways to activate muscles through slow, controlled movement• The spiritual foundation of yoga and breathwork• How stillness helps us access intrinsic wisdom• Why purpose often becomes clear when we listen within• Yogi Aaron's book, podcast, teachings, and pain-free resourcesThe goal is not to become more flexible at any cost.

She emphasizes the importance of holistic care, including acupuncture, laser therapy, red light therapy and tuning forks. Dr. Laurie highlights the role of fascia in pet health, explaining its impact on blood flow and nerve function. She also introduces resources for pet owners, such as the "Core and More" exercise program and her "At Home Laser Therapy" course. These tools aim to empower pet parents to improve their pets' health through non-invasive methods, enhancing their quality of life and longevity. Listen in!

At Ayush Pet, the focus goes back to the roots of healing, drawing from Ayurveda, a system trusted for over 5000 years. For more than 30 years, the Sodhi family has helped people live healthier lives naturally. Now that same level of care is extended to pets. The herbs are sustainably grown in the Himalayan region of India, where pure air, water, and soil support their strength and quality. Each plant is carefully cultivated, harvested at peak potency, and tested for purity, so pet parents know exactly what their pets are getting. Because real wellness isn't about quick fixes, it's about daily support that works with the body, not against it. The mission is simple: to provide medical-grade herbal supplements and share the healing power of Ayurveda with pet parents everywhere.

PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT #2 If your dog is slowing down, struggling with stairs, or hesitating to jump in the car, you know something isn't right. Joint and mobility issues are a leading cause of shortened lifespan, and finding a supplement that truly helps can be frustrating. That's why my colleague, Integrated Veterinarian Dr. Peter Dobias, with more than 35 years of experience, created Joint Powder, the world's first fermented joint supplement for dogs. Thanks to a proprietary dual-stage fermentation process, it is seven to 10 times more bioavailable than conventional supplements, delivering more effective support where your dog needs it most. Made with 13 human-grade natural and organic ingredients, joint powder supports joint comfort, flexibility, cartilage repair, bone health, and tendon function. So, a single formula can replace three to five separate products and lower your costs. It's designed for every life stage, helping puppies and young dogs develop strong ligaments and joints, and supporting a healthy inflammatory response in adult and senior dogs. It comes in recyclable glass and is never sourced from china. Give your dog the chance to move with joy again. Try joint powder risk-free with a lifetime money back guarantee at jointpowder.com and use promo code DRJUDY for 20% off your first order. PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT #3 You've heard us say it many times.

The My Pet Carnivore raw feeding bundles make starting easy with variety and balanced rotation, or they also carry the same organs that Dr. Judy uses in her pup loaf recipes: heart, liver, and gizzards, so you can confidently build homemade meals yourself. Not ready to fully go raw yet, that's okay. They also have boneless lines that are safe to cook. It's a great first step into fresher feeding.

In this episode, Dr. Reza Ardalan sits down with Dr. Mark Skimming, the Glasgow-based founder of Pain-Free Dentistry Group and the name that comes up more than any other when other guests on the show are asked about mentoring, coaching, or the business side of dentistry. Dr. Skimming has built a 14-practice independent group across Scotland, fully self-funded, with no bank loans and no private equity, on the back of a systems-first philosophy he learned the hard way. Most conversations about practice growth focus on the clinical or the financial. This one focuses on the operational glue that makes a multi-site group actually work. If you've ever felt like your best clinical work doesn't always translate into a great patient experience, or if you've thought about scaling beyond one location and weren't sure where to start, this is the conversation worth your hour. In this Episode How to think about the 20/80 split between clinical quality and patient experience, and where most dentists are overinvesting Why Dr. Skimming opened a "squat" practice in 2009 instead of buying in, and what the early disaster years taught him about systems The partnership model that turns A-player associates into shareholders across an entire group, not just one practice How a 14-practice independent group runs without bank loans or private equity, and what "anti-DSO" actually means in operation What goes into a 52-point document on ideal behavior, and how it changed the way Pain-Free Dentistry Group hires and promotes Why coachability matters more than clinical skill or business sense when Dr. Skimming evaluates a future partner How EOS, 90-day goals, and knowing your own Kolbe profile compensate for a founder's weaknesses The reading list that shaped a multi-site group: Traction, Radical Candor, Tribal Leadership, and Dan Sullivan's strategic-coach work What to look for when auditing your own patient journey for the friction points you've stopped noticing Why Spot On Business Mastery exists, and what kind of dentist actually benefits from coaching at this stage Dr. Mark Skimming is the founder of Pain-Free Dentistry Group, a 14-practice group based in Scotland with its flagship at Dentistry On The Square in Glasgow. He graduated from the University of Glasgow in 2005, spent his early career in NHS dentistry, and opened his first private practice in 2009 before stepping out of clinical work to focus on group leadership. Dr. Skimming was named Best Young Dentist (Scotland) at the 2012 Dentistry Awards, authored Painlessly Sell Your Dental Practice, and co-runs Spot On Business Mastery, a coaching program for dentists, alongside Andy McDougall.

Are you tired of living in pain? Dealing with sciatica, back pain, or shoulder and hip issues?

One day while snowboarding, Sachin made a move and his entire leg felt like it was on fire.Within days, he couldn't move, couldn't sit, couldn't function without intense burning sciatica. An MRI revealed two disc herniations (11mm L4-L5, 7mm L5-S1) and spine surgeons recommended surgery, including a laminectomy and microdiscectomy.At that point, surgery didn't sit well with him. He had real reservations and started questioning his path forward:What would life look like after his first surgery?Would it actually fix the problem, or just lead to more?Would he eventually need a fusion, knowing how often one surgery turns into another, and another?Sachin also had concerns about the long-term efficacy of surgery, knowing that many people can end up back in the same place and require additional procedures down the line.He had seen the success of many Whealth members who avoided surgery, so he wanted to try the Limitless program first. He told his spine surgeon that plan and they agreed it was a fair approach.Instead of rushing into surgery, he joined the Whealth Limitless Program.He didn't want to end up back in the same place. He knew he needed to rebuild his body mechanics and take a more holistic, long-term approach.Within the program, he learned how to actually move his body, which was empowering.Within 3 to 4 weeks, pain started improving.By 8 weeks, he was not only pain-free, he felt better than before the injury.Like many of our members, he didn't just heal. The injury forced him to slow down and focus on things most people skip. Movement quality, body mechanics, posture, and awareness. Because of that, he didn't just get out of pain. He broke through plateaus and came back stronger than before.If you're dealing with• Sciatica• Disc herniations or bulges• Chronic back pain• Hypermobility-related aches and pains• Failed PT, injections, or temporary fixesYou're not alone, and you're not broken.At Whealth, we've helped 24,000+ people overcome chronic pain and get back to living fully.Book a free consultationExplore our programsWhat you'll learn in this episode• Why disc herniations don't have to mean surgery• What actually causes sciatica beyond the MRI• Why most rehab approaches fail• How to rebuild your body step by step• What it really takes to become pain-freeChapters00:04:39 Why Sachin Chose Limitless Over Surgery00:10:19 Sachin's 8-Week Journey to Becoming Completely Pain-Free00:19:03 Trusting Intuition and Learning Body Mechanics Post-Recovery00:31:38 Weighing the Costs and Benefits of Surgery vs. Holistic Rehab00:41:31 Balancing Demanding Entrepreneurship with Personal Health HabitsIf this story resonates with you, drop a comment or reach out.

Send us a text if you want to be on the Podcast & explain why!Pickleball elbow can sneak up on you fast, then hang around for months and make every grip, lift, or backhand feel like a mistake. We sit down with Dr. Rosh from The Prehab Guys to get precise about what's actually happening with lateral elbow pain, how to test it confidently, and why “tendonitis” isn't the best label for most cases of tennis elbow and pickleball elbow.https://pro.theprehabguys.com/checkout/annual-access?coupon=SHOWUP COUPON CODE SHOWUPWe walk through the practical diagnosis process you can use right away: palpation at the lateral epicondyle, Cozen's test, pain-free grip strength, and the wrist extensor stretch that actually targets the tissue by adding forearm pronation. Then we zoom out to the common traps that keep people stuck, including workload spikes, returning to racquet sports too quickly, and technique that turns the forearm into the main power source. We also cover when lateral elbow symptoms may be coming from somewhere else, including cervical radiculopathy or radial nerve irritation, so you know when to refer out instead of guessing.On the treatment side, we map out a clear rehab strategy built around education, unloading, reloading, and prevention, with starter isometrics, progressions toward isotonics, and smart ways to use soft tissue work, flossing, and bracing as symptom tools rather than “the cure.” We also get honest about injections: why cortisone can feel great short term yet backfire over a 6 to 12 month tendinopathy timeline, and what the current evidence says about PRP and other orthobiologics. If you're a trainer, you'll also hear how to build trust, reduce fear, and use a movement library to support clients between sessions.Subscribe for more evidence-based coaching conversations, share this with a friend dealing with elbow pain, and leave a five-star review if it helped.

Your brain has two jobs when you're injured: keep you safe and keep you functional. So it finds a workaround. It automates it. And it keeps running it — long after the injury is gone.Sound familiar? In part two of Move for Your Brain, Amy and Marian Barnick explore how movement compensations work exactly like thought habits — locked in by the brain, running on autopilot, and quietly working against you until you learn to see them.If you've ever wondered why your knee still aches years after an old injury, why your shoulder never quite came back after surgery, or why you move differently on one side than the other — this episode explains what's actually happening. And more importantly, what to do about it.What You'll LearnHow the brain automates movement compensations — and why it never lets them go on its ownWhy treating the symptom (the pain) without retraining the brain never fully worksThe parallel between movement habits and thought habits — and why both require the same approach to changeWhat Marian's Kinetic Stacking Method is and how it breaks compensation cyclesThe Lindsey Vonn discussion: what a torn ACL after a knee replacement reveals about automated neural patternsWhen to see a physiotherapist vs. a kinesiologist — and why you often need bothWhat to Listen For[0:00]  Your brain wins always[1:53]  Menopause weight gain and movement compensations[3:51]  How babies learn to move: the kinesiological blueprint for healing[5:19]  "Your brain has two jobs: keep you safe and keep you functional"[7:47]  The RESTORED Protocol and the exercise factor[8:09]  Physio vs. kinesiologist: who does what and when[10:16]  Lindsey Vonn injury discussion[11:44]  Automated movement in elite athletes — the neural pathway explanation[14:28]  "The muscles are just the worker bees"Resources Mentioned• Thoughts Are Habits Too by Amy Lang: [link]• RESTORED Protocol (free guide): moxie-club.com/restored• Marian Barnick's free lower body mobility guide: [Marian's link]• Part 1 of this series: Episode [###]RESOURCES: Book a FREE Discovery Call with Amy Order Amy's book Thoughts Are Habits Too: Master Your Triggers, Free Yourself From Diet Culture, and Rediscover Joyful Eating.

In this episode, I sit down with Physical Therapist and weightlifting coach Neville Chu, founder of Legacy Performance and Rehab. Neville and I chat about his unconventional career path.  While he started in a traditional outpatient physical therapy clinic and left to join corporate healthcare, he ultimately returned to patient care by launching his remote coaching and rehab business which focuses on barbell athletes. Neville speaks to his coaching philosophy and challenges physical therapists to be more than just "pain eliminators."  Neville was one of the original Clinical Athlete forum members back in the day so we also touch on the evolution of Clinical Athlete.

Ashley Adynah is a wife, mom of four boys (one bonus son and three birth stories of her own), and the creator behind The Parenting Strategy. She went into her first birth aware of the gap in Black maternity care, spoke up, and was assured by her team that she would be well taken care of. But Ashley's induction ended in a traumatic C-section compounded by a uterine infection, infected incision, passing out at home, and needing a home nurse. She was dismissed and not believed over and over again. 9 months later, Ashley became pregnant again, and knew she wanted a VBAC. She educated herself, switched providers at 38 weeks after being told she'd need another C-section for a “big baby,” labored at home, and was 8cm when she got to the hospital. She had a pain-free, unmedicated VBAC, delivering her 9 lb 6 oz son with no tears!Her third pregnancy brought new fears when her placenta grew into her previous C-section scar, aka placenta accreta. Lily, Paige, and Ashley dive into what placenta accreta is and what it means for birth. After meeting with lots of specialists and facing the possibility of serious complications, she leaned hard into her faith. During her cesarean, it was confirmed that her accreta had grown into her first C-section scar (and this is why preventing primary cesareans and having the option to VBAC matters!). But Ashley's placenta detached on its own, she was able to have a horizontal incision, and keep her uterus. Her little boy was 4lb, 11oz and spent 11 days in the NICU. Ashley is incredibly resilient, strong, and so inspiring! Keywords: Black maternal health gap, traumatic C-section, postpartum infection, VBAC story, unmedicated VBAC, placenta accreta, NICU, birth trauma healing, maternal advocacy, birth after cesareanVBAC Certified Doula FinderThe VBAC Link Supportive Provider ListThe Ultimate VBAC Prep Course for ParentsOnline VBAC Doula TrainingSubmit Your VBAC/CBAC StorySupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-vbac-link/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

If you've been told to engage your core, brace your abs, or just breathe with your diaphragm but still struggle with low back pain, tight hips, leaking, or feeling disconnected from your body, this episode is for you. In this conversation, Dr. Ar'neka breaks down why traditional core advice often misses the mark and why bracing harder does not automatically create stability. Most people are given cues without understanding how the breath, ribs, and pelvis actually work together. The result is more tension, more pressure, and often more pain.In this episode, you'll learn what true 360-degree breathing feels like, how rib position directly impacts core strength and pelvic floor function, and why over-bracing can actually make back pain and leaking worse. Dr. Ar'neka explains how support comes from coordination, not clenching, and how small shifts in breathing and alignment can change how your entire system feels. If you're ready to stop guessing and finally understand how your breath and core should work together, book a Discovery Visit at Resilient Spine and let's build a plan that truly supports your body.Book your free 20-minute discovery call to chat about your goals and ways I can support you!Thank you so much for checking out this The Resilient Body Podcast episode.

In this masterclass episode, Samantha sits down with Juliet Starrett—CEO, 3-time World Champion athlete, and co-author of the blockbuster Built to Move. Juliet breaks down why we need to stop looking for "hacks" and start returning to what she calls Basecamp. This is a system of five essential habits designed for the "busy working mom" who doesn't have time to meal prep or spend three hours in a sauna but refuses to settle for a body that feels like a prison.We're diving into the "24-Hour Duty Cycle" and how to stop treating missed workouts like moral failures. From the secret of the "800-Gram Challenge" to the non-negotiable science of fueling your body within 30 minutes of a workout, Juliet gives us the practical, "no-weirdo-diet" blueprint for becoming durable enough to live fully and independently well into our 80s.What You'll Learn in This Episode:The Basecamp System: The five critical daily habits that hold your health together when life gets chaotic.Durability vs. Longevity: Why "durability" is a more powerful term for survivors and high-performers.The 800-Gram Challenge: How to hit your fiber and micronutrient goals without the "prison" of constant tracking.Kitchen Island Steps: Why 8,000 steps isn't a workout—it's intentional movement you can accumulate in your own kitchen.Protein Timing: The "30 minutes or less" rule for women that changes the game for recovery and muscle building.Toxic Cardio vs. Mass: Moving past the "restrict" mindset to signal to your body that it is safe to build muscle.Low Energy Availability: Why under-eating is the secret scourge of midlife and how muscle mass actually lets you eat more.And so much more!!!!About Our Guest Expert:Juliet Starrett is a certified Master Nutrition Coach, co-founder and CEO of San Francisco CrossFit, co-author of the Wall Street Journal bestseller Desk Bow and New York Times bestseller Built to Move, and co-host of the Ready State Podcast.

Modern culture says love should be effortless and immediate—but Scripture shows that alignment builds the pathway where love can deepen. And while feelings can be strong, they can still lead you off course; shared faith and aligned values create the foundation where love grows with strength and stability. In this message, we contrast contract dating (conditional, short-term, performance-based) with covenant dating (clarity, character, community, compatibility, commitment), inviting believers to pursue relationships marked by spiritual maturity, wise counsel, and a clear, intentional direction toward marriage.

Today's episode features Kris Buchanan, Founder of Phase Three Product Development and Co-Founder and CEO of RedDrop Dx.  RedDrop Dx has developed an FDA-approved, pain-free blood collection device that is used at home!  Drawing on years of experience designing medical instrumentation and microfluidic systems, he and his partners set out to solve the “blood acquisition” problem as a standalone, scalable solution rather than a one-off component tied to a single test.RedDrop offers a simple at-home kit that uses heat to bring capillary blood close to the skin's surface, followed by a quick, virtually painless micro-needle activation that creates tiny openings and applies gentle vacuum to collect blood. The process avoids nerve stimulation, reduces contamination, and produces a consistent, lab-ready sample. RedDrop is FDA-cleared and sold business-to-business, primarily to diagnostic companies, healthcare providers, and testing services. Kris is one of those sneaky entrepreneurs that fly under the radar, employing ~25 leading edge engineers at Phase Three Product Development - which his son Will is now managing - and changing the world of data collection (via blood) in the medical space.  You'll be sure to hear more about him and RedDrop Dx in the years ahead, but start here and please enjoy my conversation with Kris Buchanan.  The LoCo Experience Podcast is sponsored by: Purpose Driven Wealth Thrivent: Learn more

Embracing a Holistic, Pain-Free Approach to Exercise with Dr. John Rusin, world-renowned strength coach, physical therapist, and injury prevention expert. He's author of "Pain-Free Performance: Move Better, Train Smarter, and Build an Unbreakable Body." John is the founder of the Pain-Free Performance Specialist Certification (PPSC), which has certified over 20,000 fitness and rehab professionals worldwide. He discusses the importance of a comprehensive approach to fitness, focusing on diet, sleep, mood, attitude, supplements, and, importantly, exercise. He emphasizes sustainable, pain-free strength training suitable for all ages and fitness levels. The conversation challenges the outdated 'no pain, no gain' philosophy and highlights the significance of balanced fitness, encompassing strength training, cardio, mobility, and athleticism for overall health and longevity. Practical advice on avoiding overtraining, incorporating HIIT intelligently, and the critical role of protein and creatine supplementation is provided. The episode encourages listeners to take actionable steps towards a lifelong commitment to fitness, emphasizing that the right movement practice can enhance both physical health and mental well-being.

In this episode of Barbell Shrugged, Doug Larson is joined by longtime co-host Travis Mash and new co-host Michael Lane as they welcome back John Rusin for his first appearance on the show in five years. The conversation opens with a candid transition moment for the podcast, acknowledging Anders Varner's departure and setting the stage for a new chapter of Barbell Shrugged. From there, the crew dives straight into Rusin's background in sports performance, physical therapy, and global coaching, including his work with elite athletes, Olympic committees, and thousands of coaches through his Pain-Free Performance system. The heart of the episode centers on biomechanics, individual anatomy, and why "one-size-fits-all" coaching models fail athletes over the long term. Rusin breaks down how differences in femur length, hip structure, and torso proportions radically change how people should squat, hinge, and load movements. The group explores why goblet squats are one of the most universally joint-friendly tools, how assessment should guide exercise selection, and why chasing perfect technique without context often leads to chronic pain. The discussion also highlights the importance of strategic variability, offseason training, and removing aggravating patterns rather than blindly pushing through discomfort. The episode closes with a deep look at Rusin's new book Pain-Free Performance, a multi-year project born out of burnout, injury, and a desire to preserve his system in a lasting format. Rusin explains who the book is for, coaches, athletes, and everyday people alike, and why long-term health, movement quality, and consistency ultimately drive performance and longevity. From youth sports specialization to elite training volume and survivorship bias, this episode delivers a grounded, experience-driven perspective on how to train hard, stay healthy, and perform at a high level for decades, not just a season.

In today's episode, we're talking with Kayleigh Johnson, mama to 14-month-old Amelia and wife to DJ. Kayleigh and her family live in Massachusetts, where they are planning for the birth of baby number two. Amelia was born in a hospital with an epidural and pitocin experience. To Kayleigh, the pitocin contractions felt very unnatural. They way she puts it, “it felt like it was happening to me.” So after some soul searching, they decided on a home birth for this pregnancy. A big influence? Podcasts and social media! Kayleigh got to see and connect with real people, real stories that seemed attainable and allowed her to see the experience for herself. Kayleigh's faith is integral in her life, and so it's been a part of her birth planning as well. She was able to find a Christian midwife who aligned with her belief system (she even found her midwife on social media! Thank you, technology!). This synergy has been important for the connection she's seeking with her birth team. Kayleigh also has visions she is praying for in her birth. She's believing for a pain-free, no tear, en caul birth. We're happy and honored to hold that intention for her. And we're very excited to share her story with you!
