Chasing Your Curiosity: Why imperfect action trumps perfect inaction May 30, 2018

Show notes

For this episode your hosts Will and Nick decided to sit down and hash out some of the most transformative decisions they've made in their careers. This discussion doesn't have a whole lot of "new" theory behind it, but its a really cool opportunity to connect with others who feel like we do - curious.

What's it like on the other side of the fence? What if I choose something totally against the grain? What if my backup career plan fails? How do I explain myself to people wondering what I'm doing with my career?

Naturally, our discussion is packed with analogies and butchered science references. We somehow manage to tie together Newton's laws of motion into our professional trajectory, as well as profess our love for the Institute of Clinical Excellence. But the take home message we really want to drive home is answering those questions above for ourselves.

We want other health/medical professionals, students, or anyone just trying to make a difference in this world to chase down their curiosity. This is a short life for many of us, so use your most important commodity (time) to explore your passions. There is no right or wrong first action step, just that you TAKE action.

He has captured 25 research grants during his academic career.

Marcelo Bigliassi is a PhD student at Brunel University London/United Kingdom. He has concluded a BSc and MSc in physical education at Londrina State University/Brazil, including an Erasmus period in Sports Science at Technical University of Lisbon/Portugal. He has been working with psychophysiology since 2009 by integrating physiological measures to understand psychological phenomena during conditions of exercise. He has published 19 peer-reviewed manuscripts in national and international journals, 32 abstracts and 1 book chapter. His research was acknowledged by magazines and newspapers around the world: Fitness Magazine® (US), Shape Magazine® (US), Galileu and many other Brazilian newspapers. In 2012, Marcelo developed a new application on Facebook for people to use music before, during and after different modes of exercise. The fBeat was developed in partnership with the international companies FILA® and W3Hauss®.

Costas's music research has been featured in newspapers around the world; most recently in the Times, Independent, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post and Sydney Morning Herald. In both 2011 and 2016 he was the recipient of the Sportesse Award for Sport and Exercise Sciences at the annual conference of the British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences (BASES). The awards were for new theoretical and mechanistic work in the area of music and physical activity. He is currently working on multi-modal stimulation during physical activity that entails the use of music, video images, virtual reality and visual primes. Such work is oriented towards enhancing people's sensory experiences during physical activity, with a view to increasing exercise adherence and promoting public health.

Show Notes

Blending fitness and rehab, and making the line between them a little blurrier
The usefulness of a structural diagnosis vs assessing where someone is on a spectrum of movement or activity
"The System of Readiness" - Qualifying the readiness someone may have for a movement or exercise, not necessarily what is safe or unsafe. How much control can be attained over a new process or a process that hasn't been performed well in a long time
Providing individualized care to support the group setting workouts: educating and progressing self-regulation is key!
movement scalability is a game of inches, not an on/off switch. The value of turning "this hurts me" into "this hurts at this weight, in this position, at this time"
Devising a program by using the well-researched OPTIMAL tool: http://www.apta.org/OPTIMAL/
Understand and manipulate the intent of your programming - and progress based on the intent. As a PT with tons of education, don't undervalue the simple principle that if strength is the goal, regardless of setting, that means LOAD
If you're teaching or guiding movement practices, you absolutely should get your hands dirty kinesthetically and appreciate the difficulties your patients/clients/people are going through
The mindset on delivering people away from pain and into an autonomous movement practice
Steering people towards a plan of care that doesn't emphasize medical imaging or structural diagnosis
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): check out the Beck Institute: https://beckinstitute.org
Applying CBT to build therapeutic alliance and implement actionable steps toward a process of improvement
Skilled vs unskilled decision making
Working to an over-arching life goal of happiness
The value of meditation and realizing that there are inevitable changes in life in order to move forward
