Episode 156: The New Standard For Digital PT

Podcast, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

For years, we’ve been teaching clinicians and coaches what we believe great rehab for athletes should look like.

And for years, we’ve been doing that work ourselves as well. Which begged the question:

What if we stopped building this separately?

What if we took everything we’d learned, brought our online practices together, and built something bigger than any of us could build on our own?

Well, we spent the last two years doing exactly that. Can’t wait to tell you all about it.

We hope you enjoy!

Ever had one of your athletes have a flare up after following YOUR program? What about after your told them it was ok to progress, then boom, setback..? What about when your athlete expects to return to sport after a specific amount of time, but it’s clear the timeline ain’t timelining?

Don’t fret – Quinn Henoch is here to discuss how to navigate the conversations around these scenarios and how to more effectively set expectations with your athletes.

Episode 153: Repeat It Like It’s The First Time

Podcast, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Ever feel like we have to repeat certain things to our athletes, even when we thought there was a mutual understanding?  Well, let’s also consider it from the athlete’s side. 

On this episode, Clinical Athlete Co-Founder Quinn Henoch discusses how to navigate our athlete education more effectively, so that even if we do have to repeat ourselves, it all just becomes a useful part of the process.

Hope you enjoy!

Episode 150: Defining Your Role – Solocast w/ Quinn Henoch

Podcast, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

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

Episode 146: “Hey Can I Start Using Knee Wraps & Getting Dry Needling?”

Podcast, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

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.

We hope you enjoy!

Episode 145: Solving the Scaries of Mid Stage Rehab

Podcast, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

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!

We hope you enjoy!

Episode 142: A Journey from Near Death to Personal Records in The Gym and in Life w/ Jared Maynard

Podcast, , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

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!

Episode 140: The Scaries of Rehab Forecasting, Predictions, & Timelines

Podcast, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

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.

We hope you enjoy!
