SHOW NOTES   Sebastian’s Book: I Will Beat Back Pain   In this episode, I cover my weekend at Fix Your Own Back (FYOB) put on by Dr Phillip Snell out in Phoenix, AZ. This was my second time to this workshop. The first time was amazing, but as expected, I learned less the second time around… HOWEVER I did learn quite a bit at dinner, the airport and after the workshop from the attending clinicians. I’ve alway be a big fan of the “after seminar learning experience.” This weekend did not disappoint. It was a great reminder of the skills I need to get better at and that I should continue to revisit some of the old skills.

SHOW NOTES   Sebastian’s Book: I Will Beat Back Pain   In this episode, I’ll reflect on a few “Ah-Ha” moments I’ve had over the last 126 episodes that changed the way I practice, the way I engage with my patients and my overall philosophy of rehab as a whole. I’ve grown a lot over the past few years of interviews so I thought I would share. Thank you for all of the support, texts, DMs and emails everyone. Glad you’re enjoying the show!   A few episodes I’ll be referencing are: #53: “Plantar Fasciitis” AKA Foot Pain with Dr Justin Dean DC #91 Testing MSK vs Neuro before Treatment - Clinical Neurodynamics w/ Michael Shacklock #94 Foot/ Ankle Overuse Injuries Relate to Toe & Peroneal Strength w/ Dr. Tom Michaud DC #117 Complete Concussion Management with Cameron Marshall DC   . . .

SHOW NOTES My website is a beast. It helps me acquire new patient (I’d estimate around 90% of my patients), educates my patients so they are willing to pay cash for their care, streamlines my patient on-boarding process and cuts down phone calls and random ticky tack emails. I am able to walk out of the office with less things on my mind! Today I’ll walk you through my journey of website development, successes and failures and what you can do to improve your practice. Your website is like an employee you don’t have to pay Your website can streamline your business to keep overhead down Your website can help acquire more new patients than you ever thought possible Your website does not have to be large Your website is like a spouse, do not ignore it.

SHOW NOTES   In this episode, Miguel Aragoncillo chats with me about how we can use the environment as a way to “discover movement” like dancing, jumping, squatting and much more. The use of the ground, wind, and visual surroundings are just a few ways were we can challenge our bodies (and brains) to “feel” movements. The results are a better understanding of how your body moves and how to calibrate accuracy of movements, by knowing what inaccuracy feels like. Thank you for reaching out to me about this podcast Miguel. I had a great time chatting and thanks for sharing. Let’s keep in touch and keep the conversation going!   Links Website Philosophy Creating a New Attractor Well for Behavior Non-Linear Behavior for Sports Performance   Miguel Aragoncillo Bio: I am currently working as a strength coach at Cressey Sports Performance in Massachusetts.

SHOW NOTES   Today I interview Dr. Jefferson Chen MD PhD about ground level falls in elderly, potential causes and the aftermath. I was introduced to Dr. Chen by a good friend and was honored to give a short presentation on gait retraining at his Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH) Support Workshop.

SHOW NOTES   BUY THE BOOK “I WILL BEAT BACK PAIN”   Over the last year, I’ve been writing a book on the topic of low back pain. I’m proud to say it’s unlike any other book on back pain available. There are no exercises. There’s no stretches.  It focuses on one thing… getting yourself mentally back into a WINNING mental mindset for the recovery to take hold. If you’re like me, I have loved ones with back pain, who make no attempt to get better. They say their tired of feeling shitty and say their ready to get better, but after that nothing happens beyond that. I’ve found giving free advice/ treatment/ rehab to friends and family is a waste of everyone’s time. They tend to not accept and implement the advice given, especially if it’s free. Why do they continue to hurt? Inertia and friction are strong. You give them a shove, but they roll to a stop. Removal of the friction requires “inception.” They need to care about themselves more than you do, which removes the friction. They need to goal-set and they need to

SHOW NOTES   BUY THE BOOK “I WILL BEAT BACK PAIN”   One common misconception our patients have about exercise is that’s just a “bonus in life.” It’s not a requirement to feel good and look good. They often times don’t see the carry over of various forms of exercise to life situations (lifting weights, body weight exercise or cardiovascular exercise). Examples: Squatting = sitting down, toilet time, etc Hinging = lifting a child, helping a friend move, petting a dog Carry Variations = groceries, backpacks, children, etc Pushing = jump starting a car, opening doors, pushing a kid on a swing Pull = opening doors, dragging objects, luggage, starting lawn mowers In this podcast, our serial co-host Dr. Cody Dimak, and I cover some ways we communicate the need for exposing our patients to load, so they can better navigate load in daily life. We also cover exclusions to loading in our clinical experience. If you’re a clinician or coach who has the “need for resistance training or exercise” conversation with the lay

SHOW NOTES   Guido Van Ryssegem is a badass. If you haven’t heard of him before, you may have heard of some of his contributions to the healthcare-fitness world. Just to name a few, Nick Winkelman studied under him and has become wildly popular. The sleeper stretch for throwers was a Guido invention. I was fortunate to attend Guido Attractor State and Dynamic Systems Theory Workshop and I can say with confidence that it changed the way I treat certain cases dramatically. The easiest way to think of Guido’s work in reducing Attractor States, is figuring out what the body is “asking for” and then giving it proper dosage of the proper “exercise medication.” Or maybe simplest way is to just hear the conversation :) Using the tactics Guido shares, I’ve been able to reduce many of my patient’s symptoms with a single corrective exercise within a matter of seconds. Neck pain, back pain, knee pain, hip impingement and so much more are treatable with the CORRECT corrective exercises. If you want to see a patient buy in

SHOW NOTES BUY SEBASTIAN'S BACK BOOK  Grant Elliott is a student of chiropractic at Logan College of Chiropractic (in term 7 of 10 at the time of this recording). I wanted to have him on the show because of the amazing, high quality content he has been producing for social media (Instagram and Youtube). Being a content creator, I know how hard it is to get going and how crappy most of our first efforts are. He’s a prime example of someone who has been able just start showing the world what he knows, he’s willing to take the criticism that will come with the spotlight and the success as well. Students should take note… this is how you get people in your clinic doors. The struggle will be very real in Term 11. Keep an eye on him, I know he’s destined for big things!

SHOW NOTES   Why do you still have tightness within certain muscles regardless of how much you stretch, roll or massage? Perhaps we should be asking the deeper questions of why the muscles are tight in the first place. What are they working so hard to do? What are they compensating for? In this podcast, I go through three cases I’ve had come through my clinic over the last few months. I go through some things that worked and didn’t work… you may be surprised what worked! You should listen this podcast if you have any of the following issues: Neck pain Cervical radiculopathy Tight levator scapulae Tight upper traps Tight neck muscles Midback dull ache My 4 step process: First aid Supportive Care Load Application Patient Empowerment Here is another podcast you may enjoy   Sebastian’s Youtube Channel Attention Docs and Fitness Professionals: Access your client educational products, banners and posters here.   Dr. Sebastian Gonzales is an expert in trouble shooting sports injuries and overuse conditions.

SHOW NOTES   Tight hamstrings are a chronic issue for many runners and lifters. What creates the sensation of a “tight hamstring” when you can actually touch your toes? Are the hamstrings really tight or do they just feel tight? Did you have a “pop” occur in the hamstring region? Did it bruise? Does your back hurt? In this podcast, I asked my serial co-host (Dr. Cody Dimak DC) to have a discussion about all of the common questions/ considerations patients may have when they’re experiencing symptoms into the hamstring region. Dr. Dimak shares a story about a powerlifter with tightness in the hamstrings. We both cover some stories about runners with hamstring “tightness.” Enjoy and I hope this assists all the clinicians in communicating with their patients about what their treatment plan is attempting to do mechanically. In this podcast we will cover the following topics: Hamstring “tightness” sensations vs hamstring tears Clues to see if you may have a hamstring tear Simple ways to recovery from hamstring t

SHOW NOTES   Dr. Cameron Marshall was recommended to be on the podcast by a listener. Thank you Mark for suggesting! We’re going to cover all things concussion and the great part about having Dr. Marshall speak is that he breaks things down extremely well. He takes complicated concepts and puts them in very simple, but accurate terms, so if you’re not a medical person you’ll still get a ton of information from this... I know I did! He’s a wealth of knowledge as you will hear in the podcast. Enjoy! Thanks again for being on Cameron!   Dr. Cameron Marshall DC Bio: Dr. Cameron Marshall is a Doctor of Chiropractic and sports injury specialist who holds a Fellowship through the Royal College of Chiropractic Sports Sciences in Canada. Dr. Marshall’s primary research and clinic practice focuses on evidence-based treatment and management of concussion and post-concussion syndrome.

SHOW NOTES   A few weeks back a ballroom dance coach, Ikaika Dowsett, reached out to me for an interview on his podcast. During the hour, we had a great conversation and I realized he has a lot of information to share with clinicians about the ballroom dance world. One realization I had in the conversation was that cueing motion and goal setting is a challenge in rehab, dance and many other movement disciplines. We are all assisting people to different ways of moving, building healthy habits and more. Listen and soak it up. In this podcast I’ll cover the following topics: Competition Dancing Partner Dancing Injuries in Dance Postures in Dance Weight Loss and Dancing Cueing Dance   Contact Ikaika Dowsett: @ikaikadowsett ikaikadowsett@gmail.com   Sebastian’s Youtube Channel Attention Docs and Fitness Professionals: Access your client educational products, banners and posters here.   Dr. Sebastian Gonzales is an expert in trouble shooting sports injuries and overuse conditions.

SHOW NOTES Recently at my old chiropractic college, I presented on how I’ve use Youtube to grow my business. If you don’t know already, I started my practice from scratch, had no employees for 4 years and used Youtube as a way to duplicate topics of discussion, exercise instruction and more. I needed to automate part of myself and these entry level conversations/ topics were a great place to start. In this podcast I’ll cover the following topics: How to discover your audience How to create for your audience What mental barriers you’ll need to overcome as you create How to pick your topics Links to more valuable practice building content A warning, I cussed a bit my lectures. I do that when I get hot on a topic!  If I sounds like I was angry, I promise I wasn’t. I tend to be more decisive with my speaking when I’m on a topic path :) Sebastian’s Youtube Channel Attention Docs and Fitness Professionals: Access your client educational products, banners and posters here.

SHOW NOTES   Dr. Kevin Christie DC, from the Modern Chiropractic Marketing Show has been on my podcast before speaking about a very different topic than we’ll be covering today. Today we’re all about educating the young and “newer” chiropractors about how to ethically market their services to the public. Physical therapists you many get some times from this episode too! In my first 5 years of practice, I saw the words “sales & marketing” as dirty words that carried the perception that I was slimy. During those 5 years, I did alright in business, but not amazing. After seeing friend and family seek care from doctors who charged more than me and weren’t as trusted as “family” I decide that the way I conveyed my message to the public about how I could help them needed to change. I came to terms that people will only find my assistance if I figured out how to communicate my value and expertise better. Now my practice is much busier, I see highly motivated people within my client base and get paid exactly what

SHOW NOTES   Working in the same facility as Allie Christensen over the last few months, it’s been amazing to see the WAY she works with her young dancers. As a past professional dancer who was forced to stop due to repeated hip injuries, she refocused her efforts to assist young dancers to get to a professional level, without all of the pain that she went through. Some topics she addresses daily with this athletic  population are unique. If you’ve listened to #104 with Dr. Sloan Beard, you’ll find similarities with the dance and gymnastic worlds. Since I have less “bendy” athletes, with more clothing on as well, I’m learning the unique challenges that these demands place on young women. Some of these topics we cover are: Body image Poor body supports Excessive activity Flexibility with control Strength I’ve gotten the chance to observe the simple verbal cues Allie uses. They are very relatable for her young athletes. I’ve found it personally challenging to work with middle school kids, so needless to say I
