Episode 32 - Get Your Shoulder Right Jun 07, 2019

Show notes

Your shoulder is the most complicated joint in your body. The shoulder bones are just floating in space! Just like your glutes (see prior podcast), our lifestyles spent mostly sitting at desks puts us in a slouched position, with drooping shoulders and poor scapular activation. In this podcast Dr Mike Mallin and Dr Mark Goodman talk again with our favorite physical therapist, Denny Dragon of Redbird Physical Therapy in Bend, OR. Denny helped Mike rehab his shoulder after a rotator cuff tear...or two.

What we Learned: 1) Scapular elevation is important to protect the rotator cuff. 2) Chances are good you're doing the bodybuilder shoulder raise and don't even know it. 3) Mark doesn't move his shoulder right. 4) The best way to train your scapula to move is to do lots and lots of shoulder raises, the right way.

Episode 31 - Get your glutes right! Yes, we're talking about the butt muscles. Jun 03, 2019

Show notes

Your butt may be more important than you ever realized! Our sedentary lifestyles spent mostly sitting at desks train your glute not to activate. This leads to imbalances, weakness, and injury. In this podcast Dr. Mike Mallin and Dr. Mark Goodman talk with one of our favorite physical therapists, Denny Dragon of Redbird Physical Therapy in Bend, OR. Denny has and continues to treat world class athletes and knows more about the glutes than anyone we know. What we Learned: 1) The glute medius is responsible for stabilizing the hip joint and instability leads to knee pain, hip pain, and ankle sprains. 2) The glute maximus is the "powerhouse" and we can optimize its use through some simple drills. 3) Mike has a weak glute medius 4) The best way to activate your glute medius is to do banded lateral walks.

Episode 30 - 80-90% of women are affected by this difficult issue, but no one talks about it! May 16, 2019

Show notes

80-90% of women are affected by this difficult issue, but no one talks about it! Hormones are complicated, but Dr. Kristin Dawson demystifies and gives options on this podcast about PMDD. PMDD is a diagnosis that's been around for less than a decade, but it affects literally hundreds of millions of women around the world every month. 8-10% of the women have the formal diagnosis, but 80-90% experience some symptoms that could be improved with lifestyle, tracking, and some pretty simple interventions. In this episode we talk about it, how to diagnose, and what to do about it. This is just the beginning of a focus we're going to be taking on women's health.
