In this episode please enjoy the perspectives of our mentor here at Reload, Dr. Craig Liebenson.

I met Craig in the mix of the pandemic while experiencing clinician burnout at my first, First Principles of Movement course. Hearing Craig's perspective on healthcare and learning the actionable positive difference that is possible to make as a practitioner despite the tyranny of the mainstream, despite the tyranny of the clinic, despite the current state of the world- personally saved my career and attitude. What I appreciate most about Craig and what you’ll learn about in this episode is his strength-based and ever evolving approach to rehab, healing and helping people stay active- giving hope to both practitioners and the humans we serve.

Dr. Craig Liebenson, D.C. is the founder of First Principles of Movement, and author of Rehabilitation of the Spine (2007) & The Functional Training Handbook (2014). He provides educational courses for trainers and rehab specialists, in cities around the world.

Dr. Liebenson is the Founder and Director of L.A. Sports & Spine, providing health span and performance enhancement advice. He worked as the team chiropractor for the N.B.A. Los Angeles Clippers from 2005-2009, served as consultant for the M.L.B. Arizona Diamondbacks, the N.F.L Seattle Seahawks, EXOS (formerly Athletes Performance International), Boston Sports Medicine and Performance Group and Perform Better, Inc .

Erwin is Well-Being Expert in the High-Performance World of Sport. He is also Community Curator, Non-Profit Founder, NFT Founder, Mentor, and more. He currently serves at the Team Physical Therapist and Wellness Lead for the New York Knicks. He initiated the team's Mindfulness Program, starting the first-ever In-season Daily Breathwork program in NBA and the first to collaborate with Meditation App Headspace in order for it to be used as part of the team's recovery strategies. 

He is the first Filipino, raised and educated in the Philippines, to be hired full-time on a medical staff of any major US sports team. His company KINETIQ (founded in 2013) changed the way sports medicine events were done by bringing an element of personal growth in each of the "Happenings" around the world. His social initiative, #BeyondMedyo (founded in 2014) brought awareness to the importance of mental health in the Philippines and challenges the changing landscape of possible successful industries kids can get into beyond what culture dictates as "normal". And his 501(c)3 non-profit mentorship program, Grasshopper Project (founded in 2018), brings true mentorship possibilities to many in the health, wellness, and performance industries otherwise left without guidance to succeed and helping them become change-makers and thought leaders in the space. 

Recently, he has emerged as a WEB3 thought leader & is launching the 1st-ever NFT project powered by GRATITUDE, driven by SOCIAL IMPACT, and good for overall WELL-BEING and introducing the world to a whole new way to GIVE BACK.

He holds Bachelor of Science degree in Physical Therapy from the University of the Philippines-Manila, a Masters of Education in Athletic Training & Sports Medicine from Plymouth State University, and a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree with a concentration in Manual and Manipulative Therapies from the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences. He also completed post-graduate fellowships at Yale University and Regis University, and holds an Advanced Diploma in Coaching (Executive & Leadership) from New York University and a Graduate Certificate in Applied Positive Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania. Erwin has also recently begun his journey to complete his PhD in GRATITUDE at the University of Granada's Faculty of Clinical Medicine and Public Health in Spain. 

He begins everyday in GRATITUDE and has found it his duty and responsibility to truly live life zestfully– with the purpose of inspiring young Filipinos (and non-Filipinos) to pursue their dreams, be in service of others, and bring global impact, in whatever field they’re passionate about.

"What we do inside the walls of our gym must transfer to outside the walls of the gym and if they do not- it is a massive missed opportunity." - Dr. Nick Perugini, PT, DPT

We know that stress and chaos are coming into our lives no matter what.  Our problem is not the stress, but our binary perspective of the stressors we experience. So what can we do about it? If you ask Nick- we want to intentionally put our bodies & minds into stressful situations and choose our hard.

In this episode learn from Nick how stress can be medicine when we learn to leverage it because it is the mental and physical states we experience in that determines the outcome. If we build the capability to manage stress, it can be a SUPERPOWER. How do we learn to leverage stress? By preparation through the proper doing, feeling and application of purposeful movement.

"There is a way to be in pain, to make sense of it and to transform it to create something really special...if we can do that- not just in a rehab or physical standpoint but move that concept into our life- that is going to be a really powerful experience that transcends the gym, transcends training, transcends rehab." - Dr. Nick Perugini

A message love Nick:

"I'm a physical therapist and strength coach operating out of Philadelphia, PA. I'm the Founder of More Than Movement, a physical therapy and training company that specializes in working with people where stopping an activity is not an option. Over the past four years as a Physical Therapist, I've worked with hundreds of athletes at the highest level of sport: baseball, lacrosse, rowing, ultimate frisbee, CrossFit, powerlifting, Olympic lifting. The common denominator in the people I work with is their mindset. This is not just their sport, and they are not coming to me because they are JUST having an issue with movement. It's More Than Movement for them. So, how I approach being their coach or physical therapist, must also be in a way that is More Than Movement." -Dr. Nick Perugini

After investing 6 years of her time to earn a Physician Assistant degree, and after working in the ER for 9 years, Samantha Ciaccia LEFT the "traditional" medical field to give more effective medicine...through movement as a strength coach.

Sam once believed the ultimate expression of helping people was healthcare but now knows it's fitness. Listen to this Move Without Limits episode to gain insight on what one experiences in 9 years of working in a hospital aka a corporate business. Listen to understand why Sam is so passionately changing her career and life path.

"What I saw in the ER is no-one truly wanted to help themselves. They wanted that magical pill fix and some doctors gave into that...I never did that as a provider.  I told them- you don't need to go to an orthopedic surgeon, you don't need to be cut, you need physical therapy instead. I became known as the PA pushing people to physical therapy." -Sam Ciaccia, MS, CSCS

Just wait until you hear Sam's stories in this episode.

Now you will find Sam traveling the world building her global kettlebell coaching brand. Find her on Instagram @sciaccia to see how she translates what she sees in her clinical and coaching brain to detailed kettlebell demonstration videos. Want to work with Sam?

How many times have you waited weeks, maybe months to see your doctor?

Did you know the average person has to wait over 18 days to book a doctor's appointment?

That is why at Reload we prioritize getting you in for an evaluation or appointment right away.

When you book, Joe will be one of your first points of contact and rightfully so. Joe CARES about you. Here is how your conversation will start...

“How can we help you? And I don't want the short version. I want the long version.  I want the details. I don't want the abridged version. I want to get into why you think this is going on. What are your feelings about it? What are your fears? Worries and concerns. And I want us to come to a common understanding of what the next step is.” -Dr. Joe Lipsky

In this episode learn from Joe WHY we value listening to your uninterrupted story and building a relationship. 

Learn HOW building a relationship will help you be proactive with your health vs reactive. The current, broken healthcare system only supports getting people help when something is wrong. At Reload we do things differently.  You’ll be part of a community that helps you keep moving forward and reaching your goals even when staying active is hard.
