In this episode, I speak with Dr. David Meyer PT, DPT. Author of “Injured to Elite: A Guide to Empowering Yourself to Transform Your Life After Injury”, which he wrote to empower the world with a newfound mental approach to physical rehab. As a Sports Performance Physical Therapist, he graduated with his Doctorate in Physical Therapy from NYU and completed an advanced sports residency training program. David served as the Medical and Rehabilitation Coordinator for the St. Louis Cardinals for three years from 2015 through the 2017 season. This was a dream of his that came to fruition after playing baseball throughout his entire life into the collegiate level. During his time working for the Cardinals, he discovered a new appreciation for the psychological implications of sports rehabilitation after seeing the profound impact it had on players and began developing a comprehensive approach to integrating mental skills and strategies into the physical rehabilitation process. I have to say, of all of my talks thus far with this podcast, this might have been one of the most natural discussions I've had. Those who have followed me for some time now know how fascinated I am with mental component to rehabilitative care, so natural David was the perfect guest. David and I seamlessly discuss topics such as: 4 Major mental states (Identity Crisis) that occur after injuries in patients. Practical advice to use with your patients to improve compliance, and communication. Direction of Physical Therapy; where we're headed in the coming years. Pros & Cons to the Clinic/Telehealth models: how do these apply to sports rehab? 3 Mental Exercises that you can begin using TODAY as a clinician to reduce fear, and anxiety in not only your patients, but yourself. and much more.

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Amy Atmore, PT, DPT, CSCS. Dr. Atmore is an LA-Based PT who has been leaving her mark on the sports medicine field for the last 10 years. Her experience in professional sports ranging from the NBA’s Phoenix Suns to NFL’s Seattle Seahawks has been quite the journey as she now ventures into a specific sector of the NFL treating athletes privately. Her experience as a physical therapist has not always been Sports and she prides herself in being able to pull from other PT specialties to facilitate her growth in the sports field. It was an absolute pleasure having this incredible mind on the show to discuss various topics such as how to engage with your athletes to promote compliance, what to look for when clearing an athlete for play, how to handle treating athletes that may be seeing another PT, AT, or CSCS outside of your care, are there residency and certification requirements to treat at a professional level, and tips for new grads that aspire to become a sports med PT.

WE'RE BACK! In this episode I'm joined by Dr. Nick Andreas, full time physical therapist and assistant strength coach for the Dallas Stars Hockey Team. Fun Fact: Nick was a CI of a former guest on the show (Ian Ekery) who was my CI just recently.

We spoke on the importance of sports residencies, how to choose the fit for you depending on personal goals, injury prevalence/common diagnoses (tips with treatment) in hockey, why S&C principles should be applied to PT programs across the nation, and his take on the current outbreak of sports injuries occurring and its relevance to COVID 19.

In this episode I'm joined by Dr. Jill Cook, a physiotherapist and clinical researcher who has dedicated her life after 20 years of practice towards the understanding of tendons and tendinopathy. We spoke on the prevalence of tendinopathy, Dr. Cook's continuum model, the role of pain in tendinopathy, treatment strategies and how they differentiate across the continuum, UE vs LE tendinopathy, and my favorite Jill's top 3 misconceptions and myths about tendons that she has come across in her time as a researcher. I had the good fortune (and I almost want to say blessing) of being able to attend Dr. Cook's LE Tendinopathy course in Houston this past February and I was absolutely blown away. I have to say  that after our talk, I was captivated all over again. She was an absolute pleasure to have on the show and I'm so grateful to have had the opportunity to sit one-on-one with such an astounding mind in the profession.
