In The RACK Podcast

In this Episode Chad and Nick are switching it up. Today we are talking about the good ‘ol dx of plantar fasciitis...But is this actually what we should be calling it?

In this episode we dive into what the plantar fascia is and how the biomechanics of the body can greatly impact the stress of this tissue.

We discuss the reoccurrence rate of plantar fasciopathy and what is contributing to this increasing rate.

Stay tuned for the end of this episode as we also discuss quality treatment strategies for plantar fasciotopathy as well as introduce our next guest speaker for the upcoming episode.

In this Episode Chad and Nick have another great discussion with their guest speaker Jackson Frey.

Jackson Frey is a sports performance coach for GVN Performance in Chicago, IL as well as the head performance coach for the Chicago Jets Hockey Program. 

In this episode we talk about the many accomplishments of Jackson's performance coaching career as well as how he has been able to adapt his training and coaching to optimize the hockey athletes of today.

Jackson also talks about his many mentors throughout his career that have all had an impact on his professional development. One of the main characteristics that Jackson instills with all of the teams that he coaches is culture. "You want to be an extension of the coach. Everything you do. You want that to translate into being a better teammate, being a better team and winning games".

Nick also gets Jackson's opinion on the cardio and building muscle debate that we had back in Ep. 12 lol!!

In this Episode Chad and Nick get a little reckless In The RACK ...Yet Again!

In part III of the series of Reckless In The Rack, Chad and Nick have another story time. Story time is where we talk about stories that our patients and clients tell us.

The best part is…one of these stories might be like your story so you might want to listen!

These stories are not only crazy, but they are reckless!

It's reckless as a provider to be telling patients this type of harmful information!

So...if you are a healthcare provider and are listening to this episode we just ask that you don’t be reckless with other people's health.

Now for all of you patients that are listening…you shouldn’t put up with people who are reckless with yours!

Let's Get Learnt!

In this Episode Chad and Nick give you a PT perspective on the dirty truth about your health insurance.

We not only discuss the things that insurance does not want you to know, but we give you a better understanding about the difference between receiving your PT care from an in-network facility vs. an out-of-network facility. 

In our opinion, the current model of traditional physical therapy has to change as it is not benefiting our patients or our community.

With our model here at ProForm PT you will not only save time, but you will ultimately save money and achieve your desired results…faster.

You deserve better than your insurance. Do not let your insurance dictate your physical therapy care. ..We Sure As Hell Don’t!

These are all the questions that we answer during this episode.

Cardio and muscle building has been the great debate for many years, but we are here to clear it up for you. This is coming from someone that incorporates no cardio (Chad) as well as someone that thrives on it (Nick).

Either way they both build muscle...So you should listen to what we both have to say.

Give this episode a listen before you tell someone not to put you down for cardio...You won't regret it!

In this Episode Chad and Nick discuss the great debate about the use of manual therapy in the field of physical therapy. 

We decided to elaborate on this topic as there seems to be a lot more of this on the good ol’ social media. 

If you listened to the last episode then you all know how we feel about this debate as well as some of the “influencers” that are leading this topic of discussion.

Unfortunately, there is such a disconnect in this profession and it is disappointing as physical therapists that there can be so much hate and disrespect between providers.

Get ready to listen as we debate over comments like:

“There is no skill in manual therapy”

OR

“Manual therapy is useless”

If you feel offended then we are sorry for that. Please do not let our honesty offend you :)
