Neuroplastic Yoga with Kristine Kaoverii Weber discusses Resiliency by Awareness, proper Certifications, Yoga Injuries, power of Breathe, Yoga’s Role in Healthcare and in hospitals. Docs listen up so you can know what to look for when recommending a Yoga teacher for Rehab.

A teacher from 7th grade had her class do yoga and at the end during the lying still moment and she had an Interoception feeling that she never felt before. In fact some of the poses Kristine still uses today. Then she really experienced Yoga again in 1989 during her Masters Degree in Literature and went to a gym and an Indian Swami with a long beard, baggy pants and all that taught it. During her late 20’s she spent a few years in Japan and 1 year in India and Nepal and studied very traditional Yoga.

Yoga teacher is 200 hours of training, but she would prefer the RWT500 which means you trained for 500 hours or even better the eRWT 3000 (you actually have taught for 3000 hours) and the best is the newest designation CIAYT Certified International Association of Yoga Therapist (rigorous organization of 40% medical professions and 60% Yoga Instructors and others).

Those are the best 3 classifications of a yoga instructor and are what a Doctor should be looking for if they refer a patient for yoga therapy. It’s not enough to just send the patient over to the local gym.

Mind, Body, Spirit is part of Yoga and there are 5000 studies on Yoga Therapy. Mindful movement, breathing practices, and meditation are all part of yoga and helps people from dis-ease to ease to potential and thriving. So it’s not just about poses.

Deep breathing can help build resiliency in the nervous system. Your body can rise or depress on its own needs without the need for caffeine or alcohol. Breathe is the best autonomic process that can be brought under conscious control. Breathing also works on the vagal tone, heart rate variability, and to help manage emotions… take a listen to learn more about this topic.

Dr Susie Gronski DPT wrote a book on men’s pelvic health, makes a sensitive subject approachable and fun, gut health, Neuro meningeal manipulation, how to find your niche and avatar, restaurant ownership, cash practice ideas and online side hustles.

Board Certified in Pelvic Health

Did stroke rehab,  vestibular rehab, and then shadowed a PT that specialized in pelvic health. She tells a story as to why she decided to get more education in pelvic health and how she went from the classic female area to specializing in men’s health down there.  She approaches her rehab from a physical, psychosocial, functional nutrition, coaching and psychology of pain.

Men tend to web search, for signs and symptoms (don’t freak yourself out by what you find), a good book and ways toe educate themselves on what’s going on, how to DIY help and how to find a practitioner if that doesn’t work.  Clear red flags like STD and cancer with a urologist and then find a PT. 

Are antibiotics over prescribed for pelvic pain and what is long term results for your gut health.  Shown that less diversity and less of a specific microbe that occurs when you have pelvic pain.

Pelvic Pain does not need to be permanent.

What is a trigger for pelvic floor dysfunction? STD, stress, groin injury, type A driven personalities ?

Do you Bicycle? Make sure the seat is correct for you plus some other tips.  We chat Pudendal Nerve and a great area to adjust to calm that nerve down.

Reasons men may visit a pelvic health physical therapist: Pain in the penis, testicle, anus pain, or prostate , painful erection and sex, urinating issues and symptoms aggravated with stress.  Their pain point isn’t just in the nether regions but also that the doctors who treat them are also typically nervous or at least shy away from touching it and really exploring why the pain is present.

What are her guide rules when assessing the genitals? 

What type of fascia and nervous system calming methods does she use? Neuro meningeal manipulation

Do you need to be worried about accidental erections?

Dr. Susie has a strong message for women’s empowerment that stems from her mom.

Students: Let go of all reservations. Dig deep to find your why?  Don’t Compare to other colleagues.. not about what you are doing or not doing.

You have to find your niche and Create an Avatar.  Your avatar will connect with and find you.

Amazing story or two of how she and her husband have divided family responsibilities and work responsibilities so that each feel fulfilled.   They complement each other nicely.  Why she went gluten and dairy free

How does and Can Yoga, Dharma, and Religion (Christian, others etc) coincide?

Funny horrible stories of outsourcing

 Kristina Centnere dives into Instagram, social media, business education and one on ones for wellness professionals. Two books, video tutorials, how she works anywhere, tips to hire and all this on an online platform called Total Wellness Connect.

 

Founder of  Total Wellness Connect.com and The Health Connections Podcast.  Total Wellness Connect is a membership organization with a goal to help wellness professionals grow their business. They do so by utilizing a holistic marketing approach, including organized networking, social media advertising, business education and community outreach.

Her parents are an OBGYN and a Physical Therapist which would lead you to believe she would become a doctor but her passion is social media (Instagram and Facebook) and decided to help the holistic wellness professionals with social media services as well as this membership organization (Total Wellness Connect) that can teach you better networking, business education and one on ones.

One reason to create this  website of similar wellness professionals is because they may not have the big budgets like some MD’s and hospitals have for advertising so this can help them compete in the market. Since she has a niche market of business professionals, they don’t have the most standard of business hours which makes the traditional early morning networking meeting difficult. To overcome this important meeting conflict, she has created a platform to do these meetings online as well as having a robust profile so you can know what others in your area are doing plus the ability to have one on ones.

A big focus of hers is recruiting new members via Instagram and teaching how the wellness professional can do the same for new patients. She wants to make it clear that this is not a program that will provide Leads to you but if you follow the system and do the one on ones and the other tools in the toolbox, then you should get referrals. The one on ones are so important because it builds trust and rapport and that’s essential to pass referrals of patients.

 She wrote an e-book on Amazon The Networking Guide Anatomy of an Effective One-on-One that gives you do’s and don’ts at networking events and one on one. One don’t is to just pass out cards indiscriminately and some of the do’s are how you dress, act, are you writing down notes and a huge trust and rapport building skill is asking this question, “How Can I Help You?”

Lots of video tutorials to teach anyone how to setup and strategize Instagram and Facebook because the clients are going to range in age and social media prowess.  You need to use the social media that connects with your target market but also one that resonates with you as well.

Instagram is huge for wellness professionals but you still need a combo of social media..

Video is the next frontier that will take over it all.  It allows your clients to see your personality, engage more and like you better and faster.  Also, video is huge because we typically use YouTube  which is owned by Google and therefore you can rank better on organic search.  Perhaps after an unique patient condition comes in or you get asked a question, you can write that down and then record yourself (audio or video) answering it or talking about the condition and now you have content that is relevant.

When asked about 5 year goals, she says she doesn’t have them.  Her field changes so fast and so often she limits her vision t...
