In this episode, I sit down with pelvic floor physical therapist Mindy English to discuss what to look for when seeking a pelvic floor PT. This is a common question we receive, and we wanted to provide a nuanced conversation around it, especially for female athletes who may not realize how interconnected pelvic health is with overall movement, training, and long-term well-being. We also discuss what to expect in a pelvic floor PT appointment, why it's critical for practitioners to take a full-body approach, and how pelvic floor therapy can help athletes of all ages—whether they're dealing with postpartum recovery, leakage during workouts, or long-term pelvic health symptoms.

Coaches Justin, Amanda, and William offer programming, form coaching, diet coaching and more, here! In this episode of the Bacon Bibles and Barbells podcast, Coaches Justin, Bill, and Amanda discuss the roles of chiropractors and physical therapists in health and rehabilitation. They share personal experiences and insights on the effectiveness of these professionals, emphasizing the importance of individualized care, progressive overload in therapy, and the limitations of chiropractic adjustments. The conversation highlights the need for strength training in recovery and the potential impact of the placebo effect in treatment outcomes. In this conversation, the coaches delve into the complexities of back pain, chiropractic care, and the importance of movement and strength training. They discuss the physiological aspects of back pain, the risks associated with neck manipulation, and the origins of chiropractic practice, highlighting its controversial history. The coaches emphasize the need to identify quackery in chiropractic practices, the significance of movement and strength training in pain management, and the role of massage and physical therapy. They advocate for a holistic approach to health that prioritizes movement and strength over reliance on supplements and chiropractic adjustments. Takeaways Physical therapists are often utilized for rehab post-injury or surgery. The effectiveness of physical therapy can vary based on the therapist's knowledge and approach. Progressive overload is crucial in physical therapy for effective recovery. Chiropractic adjustments may provide temporary pain relief but do not create lasting changes in spinal alignment. Individual attention from a physical therapist can lead to better outcomes than cookie-cutter approaches. Pain management in physical therapy should not lead to prolonged discomfort post-session. Strength training is essential for long-term injury prevention and recovery. The placebo effect can play a significant role in perceived benefits from chiropractic care. Finding a chiropractor with a sports rehab background may yield better results. Elderly patients often require strength training rather than just range of motion exercises. Chiropractic manipulation can provide neuromuscular facilitation. Most back pain stems from muscle atrophy, particularly in the erectors. Neck manipulation is never appropriate due to associated risks. Chiropractic practice has a controversial history and origins. Identifying quackery in chiropractic practices is crucial for patient safety. Movement and strength training are essential for pain management. Massage therapy can be more beneficial than chiropractic adjustments. Percussion massage can help relax tight muscles effectively. Holistic approaches to health prioritize movement and strength. Lifestyle changes are key to reducing pain and improving overall health.

In this episode of What's Best For The Patient Is Best For Business, Jerry sits down with Angela Diaz, DPT, Vice President of Market Development for TailorCare, to explore the future of physical therapy in a value-based healthcare system. With decades of experience as a clinician, practice owner, and healthcare executive, Angela shares her insights on why PTs must lead—or risk being left behind—in the shift toward patient-centered, outcomes-driven care.Key Takeaways:- Value-Based Care Is Here – Physical therapists must transition from fee-for-service models to payment structures that reward high-quality outcomes, cost efficiency, and patient satisfaction.- Data Is Non-Negotiable – PTs need to track pain, functional outcomes, and patient satisfaction to prove their value. Angela emphasizes: "If you can't measure it, you can't improve it—or get paid for it."- The Power of Shared Decision-Making – Angela shares a case study of a knee pain patient who avoided surgery through tailored PT and lifestyle changes—highlighting how aligning care with patient goals improves outcomes and reduces costs.- PTs as First-Line Providers – In TailorCare's model, PTs triage musculoskeletal cases, collaborating with PCPs, orthopedists, and behavioral health to streamline care and prevent unnecessary procedures.- Future-Proof Your Practice – Angela outlines four trends reshaping PT: hybrid care (telehealth + in-person), integrated care teams, AI/wearables for outcomes tracking, and patient choice driving reimbursement.- "Step Up or Get Left Behind" – Angela's rallying cry: PTs have a unique role in prevention, recovery, and wellness—but must advocate for their place at the table in policy and payment reform.Whether you're a clinician, practice owner, or healthcare leader, this episode is a masterclass in positioning physical therapy as the cornerstone of value-based MSK care.

He emphasizes the importance of education in ACL rehabilitation. The type of graft used in ACL surgery significantly affects recovery. Early intervention in rehabilitation can lead to better outcomes. Managing swelling is crucial for effective recovery post-surgery. Different graft types have unique healing timelines and considerations. Patient education is key to understanding the rehabilitation process. The strength of the graft can vary significantly based on the type used. Rehabilitation strategies should be tailored to the individual athlete. Understanding the risks and timelines of recovery can help prevent re-injury. The quality of physical therapy coaching is crucial for recovery. Limb symmetry index should be at least 90% for strength. Plyometrics should be introduced gradually in rehabilitation. Deceleration training is essential for athletes returning to sport. Many physical therapists lack knowledge in plyometric training. Re-injury rates for ACL injuries are alarmingly high. Education on plyometrics is lacking in physical therapy schools. Collaboration between therapists and strength coaches is vital. Athletes often shy away from loading their knees post-injury. Understanding knee and hip strategies can improve rehabilitation outcomes.

Questions We Answer in This Episode: [00:28:13] Why is moving well so important for aging? [00:30:28] What are common misconceptions people have about aging and exercise? [00:18:44] [00:31:10] What role does neuroplasticity play in aging? [00:21:28] How can people optimize longevity and vitality? Neuroplasticity & Movement Neuroplasticity is your brain's ability to grow and change Movement “rewires” the brain - you grow your brain from movement. Use developmental movement patterns to re-educate the nervous system. Your brain craves novelty. Your Guide to Movement for Aging Better The Myth of ‘Aging = Body Decline' Move more with age, not less. Joint mobility and strength are important as we age. Incorporate movement into daily routines (e.g. cleaning your house, climbing stairs). If you look at people who live long and live well, the one common thing is they're active and stay active. If you're in the middle part of your life and you haven't been active, it's never too late. Pain & Movement Inefficient movement creates and sustains pain. Move in a smarter way but don't stop moving. Key Takeaways Movement rewires the brain. It's not just about fitness—movement helps with cognition, mood, and longevity. Neuroplasticity isn't age-limited. You can retrain your brain and body at any age. Already active? You can get even better. Advanced movers have more potential for growth when incorporating neuro-focused training. Repetition isn't always progress. Novelty challenges your brain and creates stronger, smarter movement patterns. Pain is information, not a stop sign. Pain (not injuries) often lingers due to patterns. New movement can break that cycle. Aging isn't a reason to scale back, but a cue to level up.

They provide detailed insights and timestamps for each episode, and are great especially for later review, after you've already listened to an episode. Naturally, as great as they are, they do not cover absolutely everything in as great detail as we can do in a 45-90 minute podcast episode.
