ClinicalAthlete Podcast

Do a good job and be a fun hang… That’s all it takes to build and run a successful sports rehab clinic inside of a badass facility for over a decade.  Ok, maybe there’s more to it, but those things are definitely important!  On this episode, we welcome Clinical Athlete OG Teddy Willsey of Healthy Baller on to the show to talk all about the journey of building a dream clinic and provider team.  Teddy is someone who just does it the right way, and we have massive respect for him and the Healthy Baller crew.  There are plenty of gems in this one,

Hope you enjoy!

Ever feel like we have to repeat certain things to our athletes, even when we thought there was a mutual understanding?  Well, let’s also consider it from the athlete’s side. 

On this episode, Clinical Athlete Co-Founder Quinn Henoch discusses how to navigate our athlete education more effectively, so that even if we do have to repeat ourselves, it all just becomes a useful part of the process.

Hope you enjoy!

Episode 151: You Ask, We Answer: Q&A w/ Quinn Henoch

On this episode, we’re answering your questions! How do we manage athletes who want to get better at all the things all the time? What about in-season and off-season training? Are dips bad? How to provide an effective strength stimulus with minimal equipment? 

We discuss all of this and more,

Omnipresent Exercise Prescription Process Auditor (OEPPA):

– Oh cool, you have a new athlete that you’re working with. What’s your specific role in their overall plan?

Well Meaning Physical Therapist (WMPT):

– I’m the Physical Therapist. I’ll be doing the Physical Therapy. 

Omnipresent Exercise Prescription Process Auditor (OEPPA):

– That means nothing to me.

“Defining Your Role” is a foundational principle of our exercise prescription and overall planning for any athlete that we’re working with.

It’s not just repeating your professional title.  

It’s also where a lot of athlete rehab plans go wrong from Day 1. Don’t be that provider. Listen to this episode.

Quinn Henoch & Zak Gabor are back with another episode!  On this show, we tackle some topics around exercise prescription that we know you wrestle with too — how far out do we program for our rehabbing athletes? Is it different than an athlete training only for “performance”?  What does “periodization” really mean, and how do we balance being flexible enough with our programming to account for the volatility of rehab, while not losing sight of the big picture?  They discuss it all.

Hope you enjoy

Shout out to Chris Hughen & E3Rehab for being awesome. Give them a follow!

Quinn Henoch & Zak Gabor are back with another episode!  On this show, the CA squad sat down with Peter Malliaras who has done a TON of the research over the last decade on all things tendons and tendinopathy. You’ve probably come across some of his work, even if you didn’t realize it. He’s really helped to push the field forward. The cool thing is that he’s also a clinician, so he understands this stuff from multiple angles, and we all know how tricky tendon issue issues can be clinically. So, we’re super excited to have Peter share some of his knowledge with you on this one.

We hope you enjoy!

Quinn Henoch & Zak Gabor are back with another episode!  On this show, the Clinical Athlete squad sat down with Kyle Thibodeaux, the owner of Refine PT & Performance. Kyle and the Refine team are one of our newest Clinical Athlete partners, and it’s a match made in heaven; because Refine is a people-first business, that puts their athletes and clients first and provides their staff with real mentorship. And that now includes the Clinical Athlete Provider certification.  We pick Kyle’s brain on the types of values and habits that has helped Refine turn into a thriving  and sustainable business. There are a ton of gems in this one. Also, Kyle was a part of the old Clinical Athlete Forum as a student almost a decade ago, so it’s pretty cool to see things come full circle here.

We hope you enjoy!

Quinn Henoch & Zak Gabor are back with another episode!  The “Honey & Vinegar” segment makes its return, as Zak rants about what annoys him on social media, and Quinn calms the waters with a shout out to coaches and other providers who put their athletes first.

And then we talked about a couple of scenarios that were going on with their athletes that had to do with athletes posing the question of using external supports such as knee wraps during training and another about modalities, in this case dry needling. These discussions with athletes can be very fruitful, but also challenging, so we talk about that a bit here.

We hope you enjoy!

Also, we are VERY excited to introduce a new segment, where Zak and Quinn bring a little honey and vinegar to the rehab space — and Quinn got to put on his hater shades!  We’re still open to names for this segment, so feel free to help us out!

We hope you enjoy!
