Join us for the second installment of the CALU Clinical Files! Today, Zak walks you through his line of reasoning and thought process for how he managed this case! Case Study Context: Pt is a later 20 year old, F, works in Television (currently work from home). She reports that 1.5-2 years ago, she had a goal of running and marathon and had a major uptick in her running volume, and participated in roughly 9 races (avg distance of 5k). Pt reports that towards the tail end of her running, she began to get R knee pain which was dx as ITB syndrome. She received PT in NYC and had some resolution over a few months, but then had an onset of R sided lateral hip pain, which was originally dx as R GT bursitis. She had been receiving virtual PT at this point, but reports it was largely ineffective for her sx. She did end up getting imaging which reveals R labral tear, but was able to rule out potential boney stress injuries. Currently, she is c/o R sided lateral hip and groin pain that is worsened by prolonged sitting, squatting, running, and walking. Pt is frustrated by her lack of progress with non-operative management and is considering surgical repair of her R labrum. Pt does reports that the past year has been extremely stressful as she has been dealing with three other undisclosed health issues that are now resolved. Pain 4/10, Achey, sharp, R lateral hip and groin, acute on chronic for past 1.5 years.

In this episode, we sit down with Zak Gabor, founder of the Level Up Initiative and a physiotherapist at Boston PT and wellness. Level up is an online platform dedicated to driving positive change into healthcare through mentorship of students and new graduates in musculoskeletal healthcare professions. The mentorship program is centered around four main components which include developing a growth mindset, critical thinking, listening skills and working on communication, not only just with patients, but with colleagues and other professionals. As you’ll see through the discussion, Zak realized pretty early on in his career that the clinical experience is not as black and white as presented through conventional streams of education. As many of our faithful listeners know, we present things differently at ARME, and try to promote critical thinking and present up to date information rooted in the best available literature. Level Up, has been doing similar work for a number of years now, but also offer a free mentorship program, where students and new graduates can surround themselves with other keen individuals and develop a better mind set and soft skills as clinicians.  Zak touches on a number of topics in the following minutes, including his path and why he started Level Up, where he thinks education could improve for the next generation of therapist, some examples of early mistakes, and how he would reframe these circumstances, and the importance of putting together a cohesive team. We also end the show on an optimistic note, talking about how many up and coming individuals and groups are pushing critical thinking and evidence-based content to forefront of social media.

There is a dirty little secret in the healthcare world that no one is talking about. Well, no one except Zak Gabor that it. . Most Physical Therapists and Chiropractors graduate school, and have no idea what to do next. They know that they are required to get continuing education, but in what? There is an ocean of approved coursework available to them. . The logical next step for a young professional is to hone in on their skills, to become a more knowledgeable doctor and to learn new physical techniques. . But what if that's wrong? What if there is something more valuable to learn? . Zak believes there is. On today's podcast we discuss why communication is the overlooked holy grail of patient care and what both doctors and patients need to do about it. .

In my decade of experience, I've had the privilege of working with thousands of clients and athletes in the private sector and in the team atmosphere. It has become my personal mission to help the fields of strength and conditioning and sports rehabilitation grow as much as possible through my coaching, my voice, and my content.  My ultimate goal is to consistently provide simple information that is digestible to the masses. Intelligent movement, strength, and performance should be no secret—this information should be shared through the proper avenues to help promote physical strength development in training and to help reduce the rate of injury in performance. This is what drives me.   CAREER EXPERIENCE Throughout my career, I've worked with members from professional organizations in the NHL, NBA, NFL, and MLB. Additionally, I've had the pleasure of working with the general population from all walks of life, including the likes of powerlifters, Olympic weightlifters, CrossFit athletes, marathon runners, and triathletes. ​ Working with healthy and injured athletes alike in both training and treatment, I've also been utilized regularly as a consultant with sports teams, collegiate athletic programs, and corporate companies. Most importantly, I view human connection, effective communication, and complete individualization as the most powerful coaching tools, regardless of service. PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT I place a strong emphasis on personal growth and continued education, in order to better serve the individuals I work with. Primarily, I focus on a movement-based approach through progressive strength development and technical skill acquisition. I am a proud graduate of the University of Massachusetts Boston where I obtained my Bachelors of Science Degree in Exercise and Health Sciences, and the Cortiva Institute where I obtained my License in Manual Therapy. ​As someone who stresses the value of walking the walk alongside my athletes and clients, it's important for me to consistently work on my own physical preparation as well. My most recent athletic endeavors have taken place on the powerlifting platform with competition bests of 385 squat, 285 bench press, and 465 deadlift. CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE FIELD My work has been published and featured in Men's Fitness, STACK, The Personal Trainer Development Center, The CrossFit Journal, Juggernaut Training Systems, UpDoc Media, Sports Rehab Expert, Boston Magazine, and Breaking Muscle.  As a public speaker, I have been provided with opportunities to present at EXOS at Google Headquarters, The Micheli Center, NEHRSA, along with several Strength & Conditioning facilities and Exercise Physiology/Doctor of Physical Therapy academic programs. The Hip Hinge 101 Workshop, which I co-teach alongside Dr. Zak Gabor, has been presented in Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island, Colorado, and Vermont. Strength & Conditioning Coach, Boston Underground Strength Training Licensed Manual Therapist, Boston Physical Therapy & Wellness Provider, Clinical Athlete FAVORITE QUOTE "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." —Theodore Roosevelt UPCOMING WORKSHOPS April 9, 2017 — Hip Hinge 101 Workshop — Spartan Fitness 360-CrossFit Thermopylae, Middletown, RI April 29, 2017 — Hip Hinge 101 Workshop — Next Level Strength and Conditioning, Fairport, NY May 27, 2017 — Hip Hinge 101 Workshop — Active Lab / Active Performance Chiropractic, Broomfield, CO October 15, 2017 — Clinical Athlete Boston Workshop — Springfield College, Springfield, MA October 22, 2017 — Hip Hinge 101 Workshop — CrossFit Threshold Training, Burlington, VT
