Train The Brain Not The Pain

Episode 12 Posture and Headaches

The information on these podcast are based on information from the foundational work of Erik Dalton’s Myoskeletal Alignment Techniques (MAT), Grey Cook's Functional Movement Screen (FMS), and The Gait Guyswww.betterbodydynamics.comhttps://www.facebook.com/Betterbodydynamics/We discuss a research article that describes how much you should fail to optimize your learning. We also discuss shoulder stabilization and the thoracic spine. Failing 15% of the time is how we learn the most.https://neurosciencenews.com/learning-optimized-15171/

Episode 11 Scapula Stabilization and the Thoracic Spine

The information on these podcast are based on information from the foundational work of Erik Dalton’s Myoskeletal Alignment Techniques (MAT), Grey Cook's Functional Movement Screen (FMS), and The Gait Guyswww.betterbodydynamics.comhttps://www.facebook.com/Betterbodydynamics/Hamstring Injuries In The Athlete.https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5003616/Today we discuss the hamstring group Bicep Femoris, Semitendinosis and Semimembranosus. The primary function of these muscles is to resist hip flexion during stance phase. We will also go into how a lot of times the sciatic nerve can be mis diagnosed with these hamstring dysfunctions.

Reducing the energy cost of walking and Piriformis

Blocked vs random practice in skill acquisitionhttps://believeperform.com/blocked-versus-random-practice-in-skill-acquisition/Today we discuss motor control learning by comparing blocked training vs random training. Which one do you think has the client learn more?From there we will talk about the pain and compensations with the  Quadratus Lumborum, Multifidus Triangle and Hamstrings.

Low Back Pain and Hamstrings

In this episode we discuss:The benefits of tall kneeling exercises:https://www.functionalmovement.com/Articles/642/so.why_tall_kneelingWe will also get into the roles of pelvic ligaments and how they can be contributors to low back pain. 

Episode 6-- Pelvic Ligaments

Today we are going to discuss articles and theory on the IT Band, Knee dysfunctions, Ankles and Hips and how they relate to step width or running. Changing step width alters lower extremity biomechanics in runninghttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23831430Effect of step width manipulation on tibial stress during runninghttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24935171For videos on correcting hip and ankle dysfunctions we have plenty of videos on our FB page at https://www.facebook.com/pg/Betterbodydynamics/videos/What is IT Band Syndromehttps://erikdalton.com/blog/it-band-friction-syndrome-a-case-of-mistaken-identity/

Episode 5-- IT Band, Knees, Ankles, and Hips

Today we discuss how your brain maps and works throughout our life with movement and cognitive memory. We also discuss how gluten affects the brain and the mechanics that come into play with squats.Your brain is fine tuning it’s wiring throughout your lifehttps://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2014-02/e-ybi020314.phpGluten Brainhttp://www.greenmedinfo.com/blog/research-wheat-cuts-blood-flow-brains-frontal-cortexThe sedentary life affects your neurons !http://www.outsideonline.com/news-from-the-field/Sitting-Still-Is-Bad-For-Your-Neurons.html Lower Extremity Strength and the Range of Motion in Relation to Squat Depthhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4415844/

The Effects of heel lifts on lower limb biomechanics and muscle function:https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0966636218310075?dgcid=coauthorToday we discuss leg length discrepancy and the compensations that come with a short leg. There are six main compensation patterns. We will discuss some of those and what kind of pain you can expect to see in your clients. This dysfunction is a key player in many clients suffering from low back pain. 

Episode 3: Heel Lifts and Leg Length Discrepancy

In this episode we discuss articles on foot placements during gait and current trends in Tendinopathy.We also discuss the importance of thoracic mobility and arm swing during gait. For assessments and technique videos you can visit us on FB https://www.facebook.com/Betterbodydynamics/Visit our website at www.betterbodydynamics.comFoot placement article: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24790168 Current trends in tendinopathy https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1521694219300233 https://www.jospt.org/doi/full/10.2519/jospt.2015.5880 

Episode 2: Arm Swing, Thoracic Mobility, Foot Placement in Gait, Tendinopathy

We begin this episode with a couple of neuroscience articles, and discuss how they can or may not help us with pain relief. Links to the articles are here: Foot drop: https://www.wearable-technologies.com/2019/01/electrofit-muscle-stimulator-zap-yourself-into-form-with-this-smartphone-operated-device/ Stem cells for plantar fasciitis: https://stemcellthemagazine.com/2018/08/stem-cell-therapy-for-foot-pain/Our main topic of the day is C1-C2 anatomy and dysfunction. We will go over the joint functions, muscles related to the joint, how to assess, and how to treat.
