Clinically Pressed

It's been a very hot button issue in the professional leagues lately especially the NBA on giving players nights off for 'rest'. There is no injury listed just rest and it has become a very divided conversation with strong opinions on both sides of the argument. Here AJ and Joel talk about why recovery can be important for optimal performance and try and address a side of the argument that isn't fully being covered.

We come back to you in this episode from our trip to Lawrence, KS for the NCAA West Regional Championships.  Joel got to catch up with Kyle Rogers and AJ and Kyle got to listen to him for the first time.  Kyle is a massage therapist but his story on how he got there is definitely unique and just shows how we can take the strangest ways to get to where we are. ​ We talk all things massage.  From technique to some of the fringe areas of the profession but can make a huge difference.  This is a great episode full of a lot of ideas and things to think about.  We hope you enjoy and thanks for listening. ​ -CP PodSquad --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/clinicallypressed/support

New Years resolutions are some of the best part of the turn over of the year.  You get a chance to start fresh, set new goals and get on the right track.  But do you have to wait for a random day to have it be the new chance to be the new you?  What happens when you get moving down the months and those new year resolutions start fading away and no longer seem like they are attainable?   ​ These are a couple topics we cover in this episode and talk about different ideas to stay accountable as well as strategies to not lose the resolutions to begin with.  We hope this helps everyone put it all together and continue to improve in their own health and their resolutions. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/clinicallypressed/support

Evidence Based Practice (EBP) has been a big push in the world of science, health and performance. It makes sense as you should be supporting what you're doing with the research but should that be the only thing? What about the 'art' side of these areas? In this CP Short we talk about EBP vs. Evidence Influenced Practice (EIP) and what that all means. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/clinicallypressed/support

You may wonder why this would be under the 'nutrition' label when we are talking to a veterinarian but it will become very obvious as you get into the episode.  We had the privilege of talking to Dr. Guy Jodarski of Organic Valley.  We cover so much information about nutrition in this episode.  We talk organic vs. conventional, grass fed vs. not, all the way down to soil quality.   If you have ever thought about organic but couldn't make up your mind for multiple reasons we suggest you check this one out because the information is great and backed by science.  We very much enjoyed the the with Dr. Guy and hope you enjoy the episode. ​ -CP PodSquad --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/clinicallypressed/support

This was a trip Kyle and Joel took to a Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization Level 1 course hosted by Midwest Rehabilitation Institute.  After the first day we got to sit down with the instructor Brett Winchester and host Alex Earl and cover all kinds of topics. ​ We discussed more behind DNS and how both of them have utilized it in their practice and seen it evolve.  We also talk about how both Brett and Alex have continued to learn but also made a conscious effort to work on being the best at what they do and what that takes.  This is a great episode if you're looking to up your game in any area.  Check it out. ​ -CP PodSquad --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/clinicallypressed/support

Journey Active is a new type of health and fitness business in the La Crosse area and their story is very unique.  We got the chance to talk to the husband and wife founders Kevin and Devan Weis before they opened their doors on October 31st.   ​ It is a very interesting concept and breaks the mold when you compare it to most gyms or fitness centers that you think of and they focus on more than just getting you to get strong and lose weight (which happen in the process).  These two are very impressive and we can't wait to see where they go and follow up with an episode later.  Enjoy. ​ -CP PodSquad --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/clinicallypressed/support
