In this episode, "Back To School: The Transition Period" we explore the impact of prolonged sitting and poor posture on student health and reveal effective strategies for prevention and relief.

We begin by uncovering the common injuries linked to classroom settings—ranging from lower back pain and shoulder strain to neck discomfort. Through an in-depth examination, we discuss how these issues arise from extended periods of sitting and improper ergonomics.

Next, we highlight the significance of maintaining good posture and how it can play a crucial role in mitigating these injuries. We also examine the pivotal role of physical therapy in providing tailored solutions and rehabilitation for affected areas.

Finally, we offer practical exercises designed to combat shoulder and neck pain, providing listeners with actionable steps to integrate into their daily routines for improved comfort and health.

Join us as we navigate the path to a healthier school experience, offering insights and tools to tackle common classroom-related injuries effectively.

In this podcast episode, Trevor is joined by podcast producer and editor, Cassidy Chavez. Trevor talks to us about several movement principles he sees in his profession and shares his critiques with Cassidy who works as a pilates instructor. Trevor Field MPT answers the following questions: 

• Does muscle activation = muscle strengthening? Researchers widely agree the major muscle stimulus for muscle strengthening is mechanical load, NOT activation. (but you can't activate an inhibited muscle, Right?)
• Posture? Does it cause LOW BACK PAIN? Does it matter does it correlate with muscle flexibility and strength
• Do posture devices actually help?
• Does having a neutral pelvis matter?
• Why stressed-out people cant grow their glute
• And so much more...

Hey Form and Functioners this episode is an extraordinary one that I know you are going to love especially if you are a golfer, know a golfer, or have ever thought about picking up the sport. For this episode, we have the privilege of being joined by business owner, author, and golf physical therapist Jake Berman. Dr. Jake Berman started out as a Physical Therapist, opening Berman Physical Therapy in 2015, and started specializing in helping golfers with back pain. Over the years Dr. Berman started to see a correlation between strength and mobility of specific muscles and joints and how that directly related to reported improvements in distance and consistency, specifically with the driver!

In our conversation, we talk about some of the more common injuries you see in golfers, when NOT to get golf lessons, why you get what you pay for in physical therapy, and so much more. Hope you like it!
