Dr. Mike Quintans sits down with Jordan Quinones, the head of sports performance at the Physical Therapy and Wellness Institute at Newton Square.

4:20 - Jordan goes into his background and how he got into sports performance and athletic training. He made a huge jump from a corporate job to a performance coach.

9:40 - Jordan explains how Crossfit and different athletes helped him on his journey. Working with athletes was his passion.

11:45 - Jordan talks about the professionalism and value that working with Mike Quintas at PTW Newtown Square more so than other gyms he’s worked with. Because he works alongside physical therapists, it puts his work at another level.

13:29 - Jordan has had the opportunity to develop his own structure within PTW Newtown Square.

15:20 - Jordan puts a lot of emphasis on form when moving weight. For a lot of his high school students, he has to translate the importance of movement, not just straight strength.

16:30 - Sometimes it’s good to allow a young athlete to experiment with an athlete. They might mess up and that’s OK - it’s how athletes learn. It doesn’t matter what sport you play, 80% of what they do in there will benefit any athlete because they focus on the fundamentals.

19:00 - Even though Jordan focuses on the fundamentals that are helpful for every athlete (and non-athlete), he’ll frame it to connect with different kinds of athletes.

20:00 - The program also helps athletes with their confidence and personality. That’s more fulfilling for Jordan than anything else.

23:15 - Equipment doesn’t sell a program - trust does. There is the PT element involved so that if athletes have an issue, there is open communication and you get seen right away.

Dr. Mike Quintans talks to Dr. Tricia Beatty of Beatty Harris Sports Medicine.

04:07 - Dr. Tricia Beatty dives into her past education at Syracuse University and Ursinus College. From there, Dr. Beatty went to Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine (PCOM) for her Doctorate of Osteopathic Medicine (DO). While she was at PCOM, Dr. Beatty accepted a scholarship from the US Navy and spent her first post-grad year with the organization at Port Smith Medical Center.

05:54 - Dr. Tricia Beatty describes her first job as a flight surgeon in the Navy. She was the primary care physician for a squadron. You learn the pathophysiology of aerospace medicine, rules and regulations of pilots, and how to fly!

06:50 - Learning how to fly gave Dr. Tricia Beatty a better understanding of what her pilots were going through when they’re pulling G forces and doing maneuvers.

09:25 - From there, Dr. Beatty returned back to Philadelphia and started as a PGY-2 in Family Medicine. Orthopedics always interested Dr. Beatty and went right into a fellowship for Sports Medicine after her Family Medicine experience.

11:30 - Dr. Beatty’s fellowship was at Crozer Hospital where she was able to take care of the Philadelphia Union, a couple of high schools, and University of Delaware.

14:50 - Long ago there was some strong opinions on DO vs. MD degrees. The way Dr. Beatty looks at it is getting an allopathic education (MD) vs. an osteopathic education (DO) is very similar. They both learn all the pharmacokinetics, the physiology, the pathology, etc. 

18:30 -  Dr. Beatty grew up as a gymnast through high school. Also in high school, she was a diver and runner (sprinter, hurdler, high jump, long jump). She notes the character development for an individual from sports is irreplaceable. Her goal is to allow her patients to participate in activities that make them feel good and make them better.

20:50: Dr. Tricia Beatty, who treats sports concussions, answers the question, “Would you ever let your son play football?” She said that you have to balance the potential for bad with the known elements of good, but yes, she would let her son play football. The social, emotional, and physical elements of being part of a team challenge you and help your decision making later in life. help you However, if you had a child that had more than 2 or 3 concussions, it might be time to look at other sport options.

22:00 - What is sports medicine? It’s not just for athletes or sports. Anyone with a body that moves is who they treat. Her main goal is to keep the body moving in a non surgical way. 

24:40 - Mike describes sports medicine as guiding an individual in a continuum of care depending on their injury.

30:00 - PTs are good at strengthening the body and fixing many issues but in some tendinopathies, something is structurally wrong with the tendon. That’s when Dr. Beatty comes in with her treatments to complement PT.

32:00 - Dr. Beatty talks about being a female in a male-driven field.

Mike sits down with Dr. Ken Clark, Associate Professor of kinesiology at West Chester University with a focus on biomechanics, motor learning and doing research on running mechanics. He has been a consultant for USA Track and Field, Altus, and Parisi Speed School.

Dr. Ken Clark’s Background

2:30 - Ken was raised in Connecticut and played football, baseball and hockey growing up and played small college football. His dad was a biomedical researcher and high school football coach which allowed Ken to develop a passion for biomechanics.

Ken’s Passion for Biomechanics

5:10 - The most enjoyable part of Ken’s job is teaching motor learning and biomechanics in the classroom then transferring that science to the track.

Ken’s Tips for Coaches

7:00 - Coaches have to engage their athlete and understand how they learn best. Sometimes they love the technical cues and sometimes they just want to be told what to do. You have to give them enough information to make the correction.

11:30 - Ken travels to the most elite sprint and hurdle groups around the country, utilizes video cameras and computer systems to develop an athlete’s biomechanical model to help them translate coaching cues.

15:30 - For some, even elite, athletes, making a small change is very challenging. But for others, they can make huge strides in a short amount of time just from technical or physical cues. Mike had an athlete from the Canadian Football League do lateral lunges into a march position. Originally, he was losing his balance a lot. Mike gave him the cue to utilize his glutes to stabilize at the top march. He did it again and nailed it - that quickly - just from a couple verbal cues.

16:30 - Patient B is a collegiate football player with a history of some injuries. Dr. Clark had been working with him and reached out to Mike to take a look at his injuries.

17:30 - Through work with Mike and Dr. Clark, Patient B was able to heal his overuse injury without actually stopping training. It’s best to train around an injury, not stop training.

27:30 - Exercise therapy is very competitive. The best thing to do is to try to get experience although it’s tough to find opportunities because the physical therapy and exercise science field is so competitive. Dr. Clark recommends students getting involved in the West Chester Adapted Physical Education Program run by Monica Lepore. This way, they’ll get experience working with people, even if it’s not hands-on.

42:20 - Offer more experience opportunities and resources for young minds.

Mike sits down with Dr. Nick Romansky, senior partner at the Healthmark Foot + Ankle. He has locations in Phoenixville, Exton, and Media.

0:26 - Mike and Dr. Romansky talk about Dr. Romansky’s affiliations with Nike, USA Olympic team, and other professional, amateur, and college teams. He’s involved in research as well as the clinical application of sports gear like shoes.

1:40 - Dr. Romansky talks about how his career started. While he was in college, there were a lot of sports booms going on: running, tennis, and skiing. There was shown to be a lot of injuries to the lower extremity from this boom.

2:30 - Dr. Romansky went to Penn State for Graduate School and studied exercise physiology, biomechanics, and cardiac rehab. This opened up an opportunity to work on shoe gear for Runner’s World

4:50 - The foot is the foundation to the rest of the body. If your foot hurts, everything hurts.

6:00 - Because of Dr. Romansky’s strong background in athletic gear and soccer, he became the team podiatrist of the US Soccer Team.

6:30 - The involvement of the US Soccer Teams involve a lot of travel with the team, whether it’s the younger teams or senior teams. He talks a lot about his travels and what he does with the teams.

7:40 - Dr. Romansky has to manage the players holistically during their travels. He’s not just the podiatrist, he has to help the team with diet, hygiene, and water intake.

9:00 - Dr. Romansky’s theory has always been to treat the cause, not the symptom. A pain or injury is usually because of muscle imbalance, weakness, or compensation.

9:20 - He relies heavily on physical therapists because they’re the best anatomists and diagnosticians in the business.

13:20 - Focusing on athletes is great but it’s important to look at the general public in order to keep them active and mobile. We’d use all these same techniques (like the functional movement screening). As we all become less active, we have to help the general public more than ever before.

Communication in the Health Industry

16:40 - Dr. Mike Quintans and Dr. Nick Romansky talk about how important phone and face to face communication is during this technological age. Each doctor has to look at it as a team approach to help his or her mutual patient.

20:00 - The two talk about the future of sports medicine. The future is being more proactive with regeneration like the application of stem cells instead of reactive like constructive or reconstructive surgery. So before a joint needs surgical repair, a doctor will treat it with stem cells and homeopathic medicine first.

Mike Quintans (Q) brings in golf physical therapy specialist Brian Jerva with 15 years of experience to talk golf analytics and performance. Brian came to Physical Therapy and Wellness Institute in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania (PTW Newtown Square) because they were able to enthusiastically offer him the most innovative tech in the golf performance realm. 

02:20 TPI - Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) analyzes golfers from all levels to collect valuable data to improve a golfer's body-swing connection. Brian is certified in Functional Movement Screening FMS as well as TPI to connect movement screenings and golf performance. 

5:40 Brian brings in the golfer or rotational athlete to analyze the body-swing connection through a TPI screening. We'll look at the swing in 2D first through video analysis. We assess the upper body, lower body, wrist, balance, hips, everything to identify asymmetries. 

7:00 Brian then uses SFMA to break it down even more to the mobility and stability components. This determines what the client or patient needs to address (the source of the problem) in order to give them a longer drive. 

8:21 Brian then analyzes this data and works with the client through exercises and mobilization techniques to make their swing more efficient.

8:29 The K-Vest is the 3D analysis. Brian puts sensors on the body one on the upper back, lower back, arm, and wrist. Brian will then have you swing different clubs to look at the data to find kinematic sequencing (the order your body parts are moving when you're swinging a club) as well as patterns, swing speeds, and deficits. Justin Thomas' swing, for example, is perfect because he has efficient kinematic sequencing. 

10:27 Bring in your golf team to do a full team analysis to see each of your strengths and weaknesses in your swings. Then, Brian will give you exercises and mobility techniques to improve your swing. Then your team can come back halfway through the season and at the end to see how you've improved.

11:30 Brian is not a golf coach. But he wants to talk to your golf coach in order to make your swing as efficient as possible. 

13:13 If you're a physical therapist and want to get into it, talk to your manager to see if they'll support that. Go to TPI - Brian recommends it. Dr. Greg Rose and Dave Phillips are both founders. 

14:30 If you want Brian to analyze your swing or help you get out of pain when golfing, call the clinic for your first 90-minute evaluation. What's great? Since Brian is also a physical therapist, so he can see the big picture of your health to find the source of your challenges, not just fixing the symptoms. 

18:40 Not activating your glutes properly or glute inefficiencies can be a huge factor in your swing. Can you move your pelvis separate from your trunk? It's very important. 

20:16 Contact Brian by calling the clinic at (610)723-7771 or reach out to him at [email protected]. Connect Instagram and Facebook @brianjerva.
