Most people have a pelvic floor, yet few understand how it actually functions or why it plays such a critical role in issues like sex, incontinence, and persistent pain. Dr. Andrew Fix is joined by pelvic floor physical therapist Dr. Katie Sasser for an honest and informative deep dive into a topic that affects everyone but rarely gets talked about. Dr. Sasser explains what the pelvic floor is, how it supports essential functions like bladder control and sexual health, and why dysfunction in this area is more common and more fixable than most people realize. From incontinence and pelvic pain to postpartum recovery and erectile dysfunction, this episode covers the wide-ranging symptoms that pelvic floor therapy can help resolve. Dr. Sasser shares the five key functions of the pelvic floor and challenges the stigma that keeps so many people silent about their symptoms. Whether it's leaking during a workout, discomfort during sex, or clenching your core out of habit or stress, she breaks down the connection between everyday experiences and pelvic health. You'll also learn why stress, jaw tension, and even scrolling on your phone in the bathroom can throw things off and what you can do to start reconnecting with your body. If you've ever felt dismissed or confused about what's happening below the belt, Dr. Fix and Dr. Sasser's discussion offers encouragement and tools to start feeling better. Quotes “You mentioned that a lot of women seek out this care. I actually think that men, if this area is affected, are way better at seeking out care for themselves. So things start to impact the penis, it is like, we got to handle this ASAP. The pelvic pain, for sure. Like if you have a pelvis, this applies.” (08:03 | Dr. Katie Sasser) “If you go to pelvic floor therapy and it doesn't feel like a safe space, you should find a new pelvic PT.” (30:29 | Dr. Katie Sasser) “We don't need to be clenching. And we do that, you know, women are taught to brace their core and hold their tummy in… and I'm like, Hey, you gotta let that stuff hang out.” (41:04 | Dr. Katie Sasser) “We are really good at just walking in and just surviving each day and just being so disconnected from our bodies.” (44:50 | Dr. Katie Sasser) “Being a mom is hard. Going through menopause is really hard. Being weak and in those phases of life is even harder.” (47:12 | Dr. Katie Sasser) Links Connect with Dr. Katie Sasser: https://physioroomco.com/team/dr-katie-sasser/ Dr. Katie Sasser is a physical therapist with over a decade of experience and a deep passion for pelvic health. A graduate of the University of Missouri with a Doctorate in Physical Therapy and a Master's in Education, she blends physical care with mental well-being to support women holistically.

Episode Summary: Trapezius Myalgia – Understanding Upper Trap Pain and How to Treat It In this episode of the Rehab Science podcast, Dr. Tom Walters, DPT, breaks down one of the most common sources of neck and shoulder discomfort—trapezius myalgia. Often experienced as persistent tightness or aching in the upper trapezius muscle, this condition affects individuals who spend long periods sitting, working at a computer, or holding static postures under stress.

He explains why passive strategies like stretching alone may be insufficient, and emphasizes the role of progressive resistance training in improving muscle function and reducing symptoms. The episode concludes with practical movement strategies, rehab principles, and key behavioral tips for lasting relief. Resources

In this episode of the Postural Respiration podcast I am joined by Cody Gillis, DPT, PRC, CSCS. Cody grew up in Boston, MA and earned his DPT from Northeastern University in 2017. It was during his time at Northeastern that he was introduced to PRI by the Strength and Performance staff their who had utilized various positional activities with their athletes. During this explorative track as a 3rd year DPT student Cody was pursuing his Strength & Conditioning certification and spending time with the performance team there. Cody admits to being skeptical at first regarding what he saw but wanted to learn more. During his two required 6 months clinicals Cody gained experience in a local orthopedic setting, but it was during his second rotation that he truly immersed himself. Moving to Hawaii and spending time learning from Randy Fukuji and the clinical cases at Fukuji & Lum in Honolulu produced a desire to dig even deeper. Cody recalls a specific patient that impacted him early on, who had tried everything and been everywhere, but was coming to the clinic solely to work through the Right Sidelying - Left Adductor Pullback technique because that one technique did more for the patient than anything else had. Once Cody heard this he knew it was time to take his first course.Almost immediately Cody was on a flight from Hawaii to New York for his first course, Postural Respiration. Over the following years Cody completed his additional coursework and became certified as part of the 2021 PRC Class. Out of all the coursework he has completed, Cody credits Impingement & Instability and the concepts therein, for providing him the link to a more neurological mindset which has shaped his practice ever since. After spending many years learning and treating at Fukuji & Lum in Hawaii, Cody's desire to spend more one on one time with individual clients, led him to create Respire, initially as a personal training and coaching opportunity in his spare time. After getting married and moving back to the mainland Cody opened his Respire Physiotherapy doors, offering all encompassing care in Santa Barbara and Monterey California.Cody has a strong interest in interdisciplinary care and has attended numerous conferences with other disciplines including joining the PRI community at past AAPMD meetings among others. Most recently Cody's desire to understand and communicate with other disciplines, led him to undergo a PRI Mini Residency at the Hruska Clinic. We discuss his time here and what offering an integrative treatment plan looks like for him as he navigates building relationships with other professionals and offering patients holistic care via those relationships. Cody has a passion for being on, in, or near the water and he looks forward to working with more individuals in the surfing community as well as pursuing more knowledge and the autonomic regulation required of the sport of Free Diving and those who do it.

#170 - Ever wondered what it would be like to turn your healthcare career into an adventure? Aaron Bowe transforms this dream into reality as a traveling physical therapist who has crafted a nomadic lifestyle that combines professional growth with unforgettable experiences across America's most breathtaking landscapes.Aaron reveals the unexpected financial benefits of travel therapy that most healthcare professionals never discover. With 60-70% of his income coming from untaxed housing and meal stipends, he's accelerating student loan payoff while experiencing more of life than his permanently-placed colleagues. This arrangement doesn't just make financial sense—it opens doors to experiences most people only dream about.The conversation takes us across the country from the foggy coastline of Seaside, Oregon to the tropical shores of Maui, where Aaron learned to spearfish, and remote Alaska, where local fishermen shared their hard-earned knowledge. Each location transformed him in unexpected ways, challenging him to embrace new activities and perspectives.

In this episode of What's Best For The Patient Is Best For Business, Jerry is joined by executive coach Steve Allred for a thought-provoking discussion on why understanding your healthcare practice's current operations is the key to navigating—and thriving in—a rapidly changing industry.Six months after their last conversation, Jerry and Steve revisit the critical need for practice owners to optimize their businesses before adding new revenue streams, technology, or expansion strategies. From financial literacy to efficient systems and leadership delegation, they break down the foundational elements that allow clinic owners to adapt to industry shifts—whether it's value-based care, direct-to-employer models, or AI integration.Key Takeaways:• Master Your Metrics: If you don't understand your financials, workflows, and key performance indicators, you're unprepared for change—and risk being left behind.• Systems Over Hustle: You can't scale or innovate if you're bogged down by day-to-day operations. Build systems that free up your time to lead and strategize.• Adapt or Get Replaced: Complaining about insurers, regulations, or competitors won't move the needle. The future belongs to those who leverage technology, data, and new care models proactively.• Opportunity in Disruption: From hybrid care to primary care PT, those who embrace change (instead of resisting it) will find untapped revenue and impact.Steve also shares a free financial tool to help practice owners model the true cost and ROI of hiring a new clinician—because decisions should be driven by data, not fear.Whether you're a solo practitioner or a multi-clinic owner, this episode is a wake-up call: Get your house in order now, or risk being outpaced by those who do.Check out Steve's customizable financial model at this link: https://subscribepage.io/9jHCI8Website: practicefreedomu.comEmail: steve@practicefreedomu.com If you'd like to learn more about Strata EMR & RCM and achieving a 99.99% reimbursement rate for your PT, OT, or SLP Clinic head over to stratapt.com and book a demo with their team!

During this live webinar, Dr. Corcos, Professor of Physical Therapy and Human Movement Sciences, shared insights from decades of research focused on the benefits of exercise for people with Parkinson's. Listen in as Dr. Corcos discusses the latest findings in Parkinson's exercise science and offers practical takeaways for incorporating effective movement strategies into everyday life. Some links discussed in this webinar: SPARX Phase 2 Trial--https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamaneurology/fullarticle/2664948 Dr. Corcos' Exercise Advice Article--https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.3233/JPD-230277 Cardio Pulmonary Exercise Test Article-https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/1877718X251330814 Industrial Chemicals and Parkinson's Blog-- https://davisphinneyfoundation.org/industrial-chemicals-pesticides-and-parkinsons/ Climbing and Parkinson's Blog-- https://davisphinneyfoundation.org/stay-moving-with-parkinsons-tai-chi-ping-pong-and-rock-climbing/ ---- Speaker Bio Daniel Corcos, PhD Professor of Physical Therapy & Human Movement Sciences Daniel Corcos obtained his PhD in Motor Control from the University of Oregon after obtaining his Master's Degree in Psychology. The primary research interests of Dr. Corcos are aimed at helping people with Parkinson's disease improve their quality of life, improve their mobility and cognition, and slow down the rate at which their disease progresses. Integrating neuroscience and expertise in conducting clinical trials, the research of Dr. Corcos focuses on interventions (such as resistance exercise, endurance exercise, stretching and balance training) that aim to reduce the symptoms of the disease and delay the rate at which the disease progresses. Within this context, Dr. Corcos uses exercise interventions whose dose (frequency, intensity, time and type) can be precisely controlled to achieve these goals and thereby develops and integrates laboratory-based interventions that people with Parkinson's disease can employ in their local community. His current research, published in JAMA Neurology suggests that high intensity endurance slows down the rate at which Parkinson's disease progresses. These findings have been covered in the New York Times and the general press world-wide. Dr. Corcos lectures nationally and internationally to physicians, neuroscientists, and people with the disease on the benefits of exercise for those with Parkinson's disease.

In this conversation, Phil and Tom Swales (Physiotherapist and strength coach) explore the intricacies of body movement, protection, and rehabilitation through the lens of the AMT (Advanced Movement Therapy) system. They discuss how adventure educators can better protect their bodies from the effects of repetitive strain due to movement such as belaying. Tom shares his personal journey of recovery from a severe illness, emphasizing the importance of foundational movement patterns and the body's ability to adapt and heal. The conversation highlights the necessity of teaching movement through experience and the value of lifelong learning in maintaining physical health. The AMT system was developed to address personal challenges in physical therapy. Understanding the psychology and biology of movement is crucial for effective therapy. Assessment should focus on identifying the root causes of movement issues. Proactive approaches in therapy lead to better long-term outcomes. Teaching movement through experience enhances understanding and retention. Personal experiences can reinforce the principles of movement and recovery. Individualized care is essential for effective rehabilitation. The body has an innate ability to reorganize and heal itself with the right guidance. Complicated explanations can hinder understanding; simplicity is key. Lifelong learning and adaptation are vital for maintaining physical health.

Sensorimotor Dysfunction & the Cervical Spine: What Clinicians Miss After Concussion | Dr. Julia Treleaven Part I
In this episode, I sit down with my go-to expert for all things sports performance and injury recovery—Dr. Jonathan, a highly respected physical therapist who’s changing the game when it comes to getting people back to peak performance. We dive into what’s truly cutting-edge in the industry right now: treating injuries from a fitness and athletic performance lens, instead of the outdated "rest, meds, surgery" approach most of us have been conditioned to follow. Dr. Jonathan breaks down how and why this mindset shift is essential—not just for athletes, but for anyone who wants to move and live pain-free. I also share my personal journey—how I narrowly avoided an unnecessary exploratory knee surgery (yes, really!) thanks to a referral to Dr. Jonathan and his dream team at PT Revolution in Tahoe. Turns out, all I had were some deeply knotted muscles causing inflammation near my joint. Since then, I’ve been working with Dr. Jonathan for over 2.5 years, learning firsthand that the real path out of injury isn't rest—it's doing the work. He even shares his tip at the end on how to find a great sports performance physical therapist—and how to spot the approaches that just waste your time. Dr. Jonathan Sanburg is a Sports Physical Therapist and Performance Coach with a Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Creighton University, where he focused on return-to-play for athletes. A Sacramento native and former elite-level soccer player, Jonathan competed at Gonzaga University, earning a Bachelor of Science in Human Physiology. He has trained at the world-renowned EXOS and Champion Physical Therapy and Performance, where he worked with NFL, MLB, MLS athletes, and members of the U.S. military’s most elite units. He specializes in guiding youth and professional athletes from injury recovery to peak performance.

We have the divine capabilities to affect all of reality. Our every thought, every moment, is affecting all of reality. That's how capable we are." — Dr. Steven Young "Our every thought, every emotion is broadcasting light particles away from our body that carry a certain frequency. So we're literally broadcasting our every thought and emotion into all of reality. It's our innate capability of collapsing the infinite waves of light, infinite variations of the now into the exact version of the now that is corresponding to who and what we are." — Dr. Steven Young "Time is not what we think it is. It's not linear. It's a sphere, a space, a locality. And with our consciousness, we can go anywhere within this sphere that we want with our mind. We can bend time. We can travel time. We can experience multiple times or multiple lifetimes in the now. If we dissolve the mind, we can feel all of that in a moment." — Dr. Steven Young Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Shop All Products Biohacking MANNA Vitality - Save 20% with code JOSH20 HigherDOSE - 15% off with the code WELLNESSANDWISDOM PLUNGE - $150 off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE Pulsetto - Save 20% with code "JOSH" SaunaSpace - 10% off with discount code JOSH10 Ultrahuman Ring Air - 10% off with code JOSH NutriSense - 30% off with WELLNESSFORCE Wellness Test Kits Choose Joi - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH Blokes - Save 50% on all Lab Tests with JOSH FertilityWize Test by Clockwize - Save 10% with code JOSH Tiny Health Gut Tests - $20 off with discount code JOSH20 VIVOO Health Tests - Save 30% off with code JOSH SiPhox Health Blood Test - Save 15% off with code JOSH Nutrition + Gut Health Organifi - 20% off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE SEED Synbiotic - 25% off with the code 25JOSHTRENT Paleovalley - Save 15% off here!
