Omnipresent Exercise Prescription Process Auditor (OEPPA):

– Oh cool, you have a new athlete that you’re working with. What’s your specific role in their overall plan?

Well Meaning Physical Therapist (WMPT):

– I’m the Physical Therapist. I’ll be doing the Physical Therapy.

Omnipresent Exercise Prescription Process Auditor (OEPPA):

– That means nothing to me.

“Defining Your Role” is a foundational principle of our exercise prescription and overall planning for any athlete that we’re working with.

It’s not just repeating your professional title.

It’s also where a lot of athlete rehab plans go wrong from Day 1. Don’t be that provider. Listen to this episode.

Hope you enjoy

Quinn Henoch & Zak Gabor are back with another episode! On this show, we tackle some topics around exercise prescription that we know you wrestle with too — how far out do we program for our rehabbing athletes? Is it different than an athlete training only for “performance”? What does “periodization” really mean, and how do we balance being flexible enough with our programming to account for the volatility of rehab, while not losing sight of the big picture? They discuss it all.

Hope you enjoy

Quinn Henoch & Zak Gabor are back with another episode! On this show, the CA squad sat down with Peter Malliaras who has done a TON of the research over the last decade on all things tendons and tendinopathy. You’ve probably come across some of his work, even if you didn’t realize it. He’s really helped to push the field forward. The cool thing is that he’s also a clinician, so he understands this stuff from multiple angles, and we all know how tricky tendon issue issues can be clinically. So, we’re super excited to have Peter share some of his knowledge with you on this one.

We hope you enjoy!

Quinn Henoch & Zak Gabor are back with another episode! On this show, the Clinical Athlete squad sat down with Kyle Thibodeaux, the owner of Refine PT & Performance. Kyle and the Refine team are one of our newest Clinical Athlete partners, and it’s a match made in heaven; because Refine is a people-first business, that puts their athletes and clients first and provides their staff with real mentorship. And that now includes the Clinical Athlete Provider certification. We pick Kyle’s brain on the types of values and habits that has helped Refine turn into a thriving and sustainable business. There are a ton of gems in this one. Also, Kyle was a part of the old Clinical Athlete Forum as a student almost a decade ago, so it’s pretty cool to see things come full circle here.

We hope you enjoy!

Quinn Henoch & Zak Gabor are back with another episode! The “Honey & Vinegar” segment makes its return, as Zak rants about what annoys him on social media, and Quinn calms the waters with a shout out to coaches and other providers who put their athletes first.

And then we talked about a couple of scenarios that were going on with their athletes that had to do with athletes posing the question of using external supports such as knee wraps during training and another about modalities, in this case dry needling. These discussions with athletes can be very fruitful, but also challenging, so we talk about that a bit here.

On this show, Quinn Henoch & Zak Gabor discuss all of the things that make mid stage rehab challenging, and common pitfalls, like:

  • Sticking arbitrarily to rigid timelines and progressing before the athlete is ready
  • Waiting too long to start introducing basic entry points for your exercise categories
  • Not having a clear understanding or criteria for what qualities need to be prioritized

Also, we are VERY excited to introduce a new segment, where Zak and Quinn bring a little honey and vinegar to the rehab space — and Quinn got to put on his hater shades! We’re still open to names for this segment, so feel free to help us out!

On this show, we are joined by Kellen Cannon who is a badass Physical Therapist who loves working with active people and the athletic population within her own business — but, has also been a travel PT for several years now. And that’s the part that we really dive into on this show. Travel PT seems like this huge unknown to a lot of people, and you definitely hear about all the cons and horror stories that are seemingly associated with it. But are those things even true? What are some of the pros? If this is ever something that you have considered for your own career, or know someone who is, this is the show. Kellen goes into so much useful detail and gives us an insider perspective on the ins and outs of travel PT, and we’re really appreciative to her for sharing these insights.

We hope you enjoy!

On this episode we welcome a very special guest. Many of you know him already, because he’s been part of the Clinical Athlete community since 2016, and was the podcast co-host for several years. It’s Jared Maynard. He’s back! We had countless shows in the past with Jared, in which we talked X’s and O’s of training, deep sciency stuff, but this show is a little different. Jared has been on quite the ride — around this time 5 years ago, he was literally fighting for his life, spending 5 weeks in the ICU with a body that was failing him. Ask the doctors that worked with him directly, the fact that he’s talking to us now is nothing short of miraculous. So, that’s what we’re talking about today — Jared’s story, it’s one of overcoming odds and coming back stronger with some powerful messages for anyone to take away for their personal lives, their coaching, or clinical practice.

We hope you enjoy!

On this episode we have the whole Executive Clinical Athlete Provider Mentor Team — Quinn Henoch, Zak Gabor, Steph Allen, and Steph Mundt. We started as the 4 mentors in the Clinical Athlete Provider Certification Program exactly two years ago in March of 2024. Our mentor team has now grown to 8 and counting, but there’s been a ton of growth in many other aspects over the last 2 years. So, we thought it’d be a great opportunity to get the 4 of us on the show for the first time together, and reflect on the last two years. There’s a lot of great nuggets to take away from this about working with a team and continuing your professional development within leadership positions.

On this episode Quinn Henoch and Zak Gabor talk about a really important topic — the best Ninendo 64 games of all time. We actually do talk about that, but also, we talk about timelines in rehab and communication with our athletes around forecasting and prediction of how rehab should go, how long it will take — all of the things that give us anxiety but that we address on a regular basis in our practice. What makes up our timeline predictions? And what happens if the original timelines that we communicated don’t match up with how the athlete’s rehab is actually going? We dig into all of that and more.

On this episode we welcome an awesome guest — The Plyo guy himself and creator of Plusplyos Matt McInnes Watson. Matt is an absolute go-to resource for anything and everything regarding plyometrics, and has had a big influence on us and how we view these things within the Clinical Athlete community. What the heck does “plyometric” even mean? How can we break down the barriers to entry for coaching, programming, and performing these movements? We cover it all with Matt, this was an absolute banger.

It’s a Clinical Athlete Diary vibe.

When’s the last time you re-read a book or retook a course, instead of buying a new one? Hmm…

Also, you ever struggle with tracking your athlete’s symptoms in rehab? Or find it to be a slippery slope to have a goal be for them to have no more pain flare ups? Me too. Let’s talk about it all.

On this show, Quinn Henoch and Zak Gabor welcome a special guest onto the show – Matt Kuzdub. Matt is a tennis coach and a tennis strength & conditioning coach – and I’ll even frame that differently, that’s he’s just an awesome sport and S&C coach and the sport and athletes that he works with happen to be tennis players. He’s also Zak’s tennis and S&C coach and Matt is currently finishing up going through the Clinical Athlete Provider certification — which has been awesome for all of us because he’s already such a wealth of knowledge. So, we’re really excited to share this conversion with you — we discussed what shaped Matt’s current training philosophy, how he balances needing to help his athletes develop multiple qualities simultaneously in a sport without much of an off season, some myth busting and misconceptions in training tennis athletes, and much more. It was an awesome conversation. We hope you enjoy

On this show, Quinn Henoch and Zak Gabor attempt to bust down the unnecessary mystique of exercise prescription. Have you ever felt like a topic is just out of reach or that you just don’t feel comfortable discussing or implementing with your athletes? Whether it be energy system development, plyometrics, change of direction – well, improving your confidence with any topic doesn’t have to be so daunting and intimidating – and hopefully after this episode you have some actionable takeaway to be able to start tackling your exrx bugaboos in a productive and fun way.

On this show, we welcome a very special guest Asaf Klaf Weisman. Asaf is a clinician and a researcher, who for the better part of the last decade has really challenged some of the conventional wisdom around contemporary pain science, pain neuroscience education, and the biopsychosocial model as a whole. For this convo, we use the widely accepted aphorism of “Nociception is neither necessary nor sufficient for pain” as an example to anchor to what might be, at best, a claim formed on shaky evidence and at worst, just plain wrong, misleading, and keeping the field from moving forward.

Zak leads this interview, and we unpack many layers. It’s a dense show, so make sure you eat something, buckle in and prepare for some mind melt in the best way. The Brain Gainz come off the back end of that.

We hope you enjoy!

On this show, Quinn Henoch and Zak Gabor welcome two special guests onto the show – Josh D’Angelo and Rich Ortiz of MovementX

Josh is a co-founder of MovementX, which is a company that is providing Physical Therapists with unique employment opportunities that help them both scratch the entrepreneurial itch, but also provide stability within an established and trusted brand. It was really cool to hear Josh tell the founding story and go into what makes MovementX such a unique company to work for, and in turn, to bringing great care to their clientele. And Rich Ortiz is one of those bright shining star Physical Therapists who’s crushing it within the MovementX umbrella, so it was cool to get that perspective as well – and Rich also recently completed the clinical Athlete provider certification, so he’s a great example of someone who is really trying to maximize their professional development gainz.

We go into a ton more – what can rehab professionals do to connect with their communities and educate them on what value they bring to the table, what can new grads do, or anybody looking for growth really, to find those new opportunities, and a ton more. It really was a great conversation.

We hope you enjoy!

On this show, Quinn Henoch and Zak Gabor welcome two special guests onto the show – Chris Juneau and Jason Tuori. Chris and Jason are two all-star physical therapists who we consider good friends and who we’ve had the privilege to work with in varying capacities over the years. They are co-hosts of the PT Inquest podcast and teach a continuing education course called Dungeons and Dynamometers – which is all about teaching principles and methods of objective testing for clinical care and performance. And that’s the topic of discussion for this show – we cover some big picture questions like, why do we test at all? Why does it matter? When does it not matter? How do we utilize the data that we gather? And then we get into the weeds a little bit too, on the differentiation of kinematics and kinetics, testing set up, dynamometer use, and a ton more. And of course, we ask the big question – is manual muscle testing a valid and reliable means of testing & monitoring force production with data that we can trust to make decisions with? (spoiler: probably not)

All of this AND more.

On this show, Quinn Henoch and Zak Gabor welcome a special guest onto the show – Ramsey Nijem who is the Director of Performance for the men’s basketball team at the University of Kansas. And before that, Ramsey worked for years in the NBA as a head strength & conditioning coach, so needless to say, he knows a thing or two about working with basketball players and teams at the highest levels.

We go into so much on this show – what it’s like working within a high performance staff and how all the different hats of S&C, rehab, sport coaches all work together, differences in how he planned and programmed training in the NBA vs. college; how his training programs are structured from off season to in season, how he manages training when injuries or fatigue are present within the team or individual athletes to still help them get some kind of training effect in season,

All of this AND more

On this show, Quinn Henoch and Zak Gabor riff on a few topics that all have to do with how we as providers, and how athletes view injury, rehab, and training as a whole. Have you ever had someone say to you – aren’t you a PT, shouldn’t you be able to fix yourself? Which is funny because Zak talks about how he literally just strained his hamstring 3 days ago, and goes into how he’s managing it for an upcoming tennis tournament. Or, do you ever get the sense that athletes and clients expect rehab to work in the same way that a mechanic fixes a car or an electrician fixes a light switch? A lot of times it just ain’t that straightforward. Or take something like Plyometrics – we often associate that word with end stage rehab or for high level athletes, but is that the best way to think about it?

All of this AND more

Kayla is a Physical Therapist and has had a pretty epic journey through her professional career, that’s led her into the realm of professional tennis. And that culminated very recently into the athlete that she works with winning the fricken Australian Open. This was such an interesting conversation – as Kayla let us in on what it’s like to work with an athlete at that level; how members of the team collaborate and handle the pressure of the competitive season. She really gave us an inside peek on what it’s like to work in professional sport. But there are so many clinical and professional gems in this conversation for everyone. It was so good.

Quinn and Zak discuss some themes that have popped up while graduating our newest cohort of Clinical Athlete Providers – (1) is learning about complexity all that clinically relevant? And (2) building a robust process for exercise prescription is great in theory, but how does one evolve, modify, and apply those principles in a busy setting?

Well don’t worry, because in this show, we answer those questions and we solve all of your problems (probably not, but we try!).

It’s Episode 100!! One of our favorite people, Franco Impellizzeri and his team came out with a new paper titled, “Prevention versus risk reduction or mitigation, Why Create Uneccesary Battles?“.  And if you remember Franco from our Training Load episode way back in 2019, then you know we had to get him on again to talk about that paper and the misconceptions around the term injury “prevention”.  We hope you enjoy

On this episode we dive into the following topics with Joanne Kemp:

Outcomes of hip arthroscopies for labral tears and FAI Statistics of hip pathologies in symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals  Importance of non-operative management and best practices for physio-led treatment of hip pain Thoughts about if diagnosing the exact pathology causing the hip pain even matters

Joanne Kemp, master of the hip, sports physiotherapist of 25+ years based in Australia, is currently participating in research for women’s sports and lower extremities out of La Trobe University. Her focus is around hip pain and FAI, she previously completed her PhD looking at hip arthroscopic surgery, what their outcomes were and how physiotherapists could change these outcomes. Currently, she is focusing on optimizing the non-operative plan for FAI at this time. On top of all of this greatness, she is still treating patients in the clinic with a focus of hip pain across the lifespan. 

If you are a student, clinician, or strength and conditioning coach wondering how to best educate your clientele about their hip pain and best program your patients- this episode is a must listen. 

For the future- Joanne has been running a large clinical trial for the last 3-4 years, a PhysioFirst study regarding what is best exercises and physio-led treatment for those with FAI. Keep your eyes peeled in 2022 for the results and discussion!

Welcome back to the ClinicalAthlete Student Shenanigans!

On this week’s episode, we have Andrew Gillihan with a background of a Master’s in Kinesiology and Behavioral Sciences and is now a current DPT student with a heavy interest in men’s pelvic floor and tactical athletes.

Are you in a PT or chiropractic program and feeling like you’re not treated like an adult and being forced to treat your professors as superiors that can affect the relationships and environment that you are learning in? Maybe you feel like these programs are too focused on the Board exams and not enough on the best and newest research and expectations of being in the “real-world”? 

If you are  a member of Clinical Athlete or Level Up, you are most likely a progressive thinker and find yourself extremely frustrated with the quality of most of these programs. Maybe even frustrated with some of your peers. Andrew and the CA Student Shenanigans crew dive into some of these common frustrations and ideas of how to gain the respect of your peers, professors and to start making a change in these programs. 

The team also dives into Andrew’s interest and his own business, Stoic Physical Therapy, that is built on stoicism and being a good human. He has started with the HoneyBadger Project and is serving veterans and military members, focusing on health, healing and wellness and diving into pelvic health within this population. 

Happy listening!

Just to remind all you listeners, Quinn and Steph have started this new series to dive into the details about some of their own clinical cases. 

Quinn, one of the leaders of all the craziness that ClinicalAthlete is, also does some pretty cool things clinically. His office is inside of a weightlifting gym, so naturally, he specializes in working with barbell sport athletes. 

Case:

A female weightlifter, powerlifter, Strongman competitor, gym-owner and coach (woah!) recovering from a concussion. 

She is having troubles with her ability to exert force against external load and is finding some positional boundaries due to onset of concussive symptoms that can last a day or two. 

How do you begin graded exposure if there are no preceding factors to tell if symptoms are about to take over?

Steph speaks on the importance of a clinician's confidence in situations like this and how it can make the programming you provide for your client even more effective.

Have we been using objective measures to decide when patients can get back to sprinting or are we blindly following a timeline? Have our previous “protocols” been sensitive to those providers and athletes without the new up-to-date technologies and resources?

Dan Lorenz, DPT, PT, ATC, LAT, CSCS, the director of sports medicine at Lawrence Memorial Hospital/OrthoKS in Lawrence, KS currently and a background in much more, is answering these questions and many more! Specifically in this episode, the ClinicalAthlete team dives into his Criteria-Based Return to Sprinting Progression publication, how it came about and what are the most important aspects to understand. He answers all questions about what the criteria looks like, personal experiences of where the usual progressions may not be appropriate for different reasons, the differences between being medically cleared and physically cleared, and much more! 

AND as a bonus: Dan gives some great advice about BBQ that you CANNOT miss.

Quinn and Steph are starting another NEW series on the ClinicalAthlete Podcast! 

Welcome to The CALU Clinical Files.

To all you listeners (yes all 6 of you), you DON'T want to miss this.

Quinn and Steph are starting this series to dive into some of their real life cases in which they have navigated some unknowns and come out on the other side to really have a positive effect on their client's lives (pretty much they are just crushing it and want to brag!). 

Steph, as you all know, is on the Level Up “side of things” and a HUGE part of the CALU merger. She is passionate (and very good at) ACL rehabilitation and is currently working out of Boston PT and Wellness. 

On this episode, Steph describes a case about a rockstar high-school senior who is a competitive skier and unfortunately tore his ACL on the slopes. Post-surgery, Steph tested his quad Limb Symmetry Index (LSI) at the following timestamps with subjective reports:

3 months: Quad LSI approx. 60%-feeling GOOD

6 months: Quad LSI approx. 90%- followed up with anterior knee pain and reports of it feeling.... "wobbly". 

Cue tears?!

Come listen to find out what exactly was going on and how Steph navigated the reports of pain and discomfort!!

Ever dive into the research for a whole weekend and then just had NoOoO idea how to apply it to your client on Monday morning? Or even better, you figure out how to apply it and quickly realize it just didn’t work? 

Maybe you’re an athlete who is having a hard time digesting all the info regarding training and injuries on the good ole’ internet?

This show is for you.

John and Jared have been reflecting on their own experiences and the conversations they’ve had with previous ClinicalAthlete Podcast guests. They’ve gained tons of insights as both coaches and athletes because of this, but they knew that a lot of coaches and athletes were still struggling to make sense of it all.

Enter The Nameless Series!

(Don’t worry, YOU’RE going to help us name it!)

This is a laid-back, informal series all about how to blend being a coach and an athlete, helping you and your athletes perform better, and finding comfort in the “grey area”. The guys want to use this show to pass on what they’ve learned so far and what they’re learning now, so you can learn from it too. They’ll be bringing on influential guests from the athletic and coaching worlds that have wisdom to share - you’ll probably recognize some of them!

During this very first episode, John issues a “hair-off” challenge to Omar Isuf!

The duo also talk about how much they love watching the little wins with their athletes and getting to know them more than just an athlete. They emphasize the importance of finding that blend of using the scientific-research but also connecting on a deeper level with your athletes and coaches.

Make sure to keep an eye on John, Jared, and ClinicalAthlete’s Instagrams to vote for a name to this new series!

Yielding isometrics? Overcoming isometrics? Eccentric quasi isometrics? What do these look like, and how can they be applied in rehab and in training? PhD candidate Dustin Oranchuk is on the podcast this week to discuss these questions and so much more!

Dustin's journey as a researcher in the field of Strength and Conditioning has taken him from Canada, to New Zealand, to Australia, and he's been a part of publishing some fantastic literature along the way. Notably, he spearheaded a review paper titled "Isometric training and long‐term adaptations: Effects of muscle length, intensity, and intent: A systematic review" which has been a favorite of ours when it comes to putting isometric training into practice.

Dustin discusses this paper with the Clinical Athlete team, as well as some recent work regarding the effects eccentric quasi-isometrics, and future considerations when it comes to utilizing isometrics in training. Enjoy!

How do you manage the transition from a professional degree program, to practicing clinically? How do we the bridge the gap between what's taught in academic institutions, what the evidence says, and what we see on a day to day basis as clinicians? It's not an easy process by any means.

This week, Clinical Athlete Provider and Physical Therapist Brendan DeForge joins us to provide his insight and experiences transitioning from student to new grad, and everything in between. The crew discusses the valuable aspects of PT school, as well as facets that could be improved upon. Brendan also "keeps it real" and gives us his experience managing burnout as a student and clinician, and gives us his take on strategies he uses to continue to pursue self growth and stay passionate about the field.

This episode is a little different.   As some of you may know, ClinicalAthlete has joined forces with The Level Up Initiative to put together a special educational experience - the CALU Summit, on Sept 18-20, 2020.   It goes without saying, that the year of 2020 has required all of us to pivot. The Summit was no exception.   This podcast is all about what it means for the communities of ClinicalAthlete and Level Up to join forces and pursue this mission together.    We talk about the importance of a cohesive team, how to deal with hardships along the way, why it’s important to keep an agile approach to planning, and why the CALU Summit is different.    Yes, you will get all the deets about the event itself in this episode from the unique model that we've created, to our amazing line up of presenters and sponsors; but you’ll also get a behind the scenes look at what it takes to put something like this on, and what it means to work within a Mission-Driven Team.    For more information on the CALU Summit, visit: https://calu-summit.heysummit.com/

What are the guiding principles that new strength & conditioning professionals should focus on to give their best to their athletes? How do seasoned coaches handle the pressures of coaching at the top level? How important is self-care for the coach, and setting goals and expectations for the athlete? What does all of this look like?    Not to worry... We've brought on world-class powerlifting and strength coaches Matt Gary and Sioux-z Hartwig-Gary to talk about all of this. Matt and Sioux-z have over 50 years of combined coaching and competitive experience (oh and Sioux-z is a world champion herself) at all levels. Anyone who thinks of themselves as a "coach" will take so much away from this episode. Enjoy!

In the first edition of the ClinicalAthlete debate series, we are joined by Dr. William Brady, DC of: integrativediagnosis.com. During this professional debate, we discuss the biopsychosocial model of pain and injury. What effect does a clinician have on the "bio"? When and how should the "psychosocial" element be addressed? Should we take a "structuralist" or "pain science" approach when diagnosing and managing injury? Is it a dichotomy? We also discuss, at length, the existence and management of fascial adhesions. What are adhesions? Can we identify them with palpation? Can we make structural changes with manual interventions? We would like to thank Dr. Brady for coming on this show.
