September 08, 2023 #62 - Pelvic Floor Health and Dysfunction in Men, Part 1
Pelvic Floor Health, Diagnosis and Dysfunction in Men

There is no refuting that there are some distinct anatomical differences between cisgender men and women, but there hasn't been a great deal of public awareness that both groups can develop pelvic pain. Usually when you hear about pelvic pain or pelvic floor dysfunction, it often surrounds post-partum or post-hysterectomy care. But, studies have found that at least one in six cisgender men are dealing with persistent pain in the pelvis, making chronic pelvic pain syndrome the most common urologic diagnosis in men under 50.

In this two-part series, we will learn common Common pelvic floor diagnoses for men, learn how to properly screen and identify pelvic floor dysfunction(s) and when to refer to a pelvic floor physical therapist as well as why is it essential to establish a mutual relationship with a pelvic floor physical therapist, and how it can benefit your patients.

And who better than to tackle this topic than Brittany Sudbrook, PT, FAAOMPT- a fellowship-trained orthopedic manual physical therapist and owner of Empower Pelvic Health, a practice based in Southeast Houston, TX. Brittany received her Master of Science in Physical Therapy at Texas State University and is a fellowship-trained Orthopedic Manual Physical Therapist.She is a faculty member of the Manual Therapy Institute, a post-doctorate fellowship program teaching physical therapists advanced problem-solving and hands-on manual therapy skills and has taught continuing education courses to hundreds of physical therapists nationwide.

August 25, 2023#61 - Encouraging Women Leaders in Sports Chiropractic with Dr. Shea Stark
Encouraging Women Leaders in Sports Chiropractic

In today's episode we've taken a bit of a detour from our typical training format to bring you a special Q&A discussion on Sports Chiropractic and how to encourage female leadership in what has been a traditionally a male-dominant profession. From treating on the sidelines to serving on the governing boards for some of the world's leading sports medicine organizations, in recent years, we have seen a positive uptick of female leadership within sports chiropractic. But, there is still much more to be done to encourage the next generation to continue to lean into opportunities to serve and step into leadership positions when they're presented.

And who better to have this discussion with than Dr. Shea Stark, former president of the ACA Sports Council, current North American representative for the International Federation of Sports Chiropractic and member of the medical commission for USA Cheerleading.

A graduate of Texas Chiropractic College, Dr. Shea Stark began getting involved in leadership and service positions within professional organizations while she was still a student, taking advantage of every opportunity to learn and build her network. We will touch on what she learned from these experiences and discuss the ways that being intentional about building her network while still in school served as a catalyst that continues to open doors to this day.In this fascinating conversation, we chat about:
Dr. Stark's journey in pursuing a career in sports chiropractic
The importance of developing strong manual and hands-on skills to treat on the sidelines
What it’s like to travel the world treating high performing athletes

June 30, 2023#57 - Creating a Pre-habilitation Program with Dr. Davis McAlister, Part 1
Creating a Pre-habilitation Program with Dr. Davis McAlister - Pt 1FAKTR Podcast Episode 57
Featuring: Davis McAlister, DC

EPISODE SUMMARY

In today's episode, we're going to explore a fascinating topic that has gained significant attention in recent years. Today's training is titled: "Creating a Pre-habilitation Program with Dr. Davis McAlister." Whether you're an athlete, a fitness enthusiast, or someone preparing to go under the knife, pre-habilitation is a proactive approach that can help optimize your physical and mental well-being before an event or sport. This subject is one that really hits home for me...as I sit here prepping to leave for a "world series" baseball tournament with my 9 year old and his team. Even at such a young age, we are constantly monitoring our kids to make sure they are getting proper rest, nutrition, hydration so that they can perform at their best and reach their full potential as an athlete at every stage as they grow. I'm fortunate to have a husband that's well-versed in athletic performance and recovery, but for most parents, that's simply not the case. So what do they do?

In the world of sports medicine, we talk so much about how to treat injuries after they occur, but you don't hear a lot about how to prevent them in the first place. And while we can't 100% always prevent injuries in athletes, what we can do is better prepare our athletic patients for competition by implementing a pre-habilitation program that is customized to the unique needs of their sport and current level of fitness.
