The Movement Guild Podcast

This week, the guys talk with Michol Dalcourt, founder of the Institute of Motion and inventor of the Vipr, as well as the concept of loaded movement training. Michol is truly one of the nicest people in the movement business, and we discussed periodization, movement progressions and learn about how and why developed the IOM andthe Vipr. It was a great conversation, and we're honored to have him on the podcast. Enjoy!

In this great episode with Todd Hargrove, we learn about his path towards understanding Better Movement, which happens to be the name of his fantastic book. Todd has a background in Structural Integration (Rolfing) and Functional Integration (Feldenkrais), and does a really fantastic job synthesizing this information with pain science. Check out this conversation, which did have a bit of technical difficulty towards the end (around the 42-43 minute mark), and learn how Todd does what he does.

This episode, Nick and Adam have the pleasure of talking with Erson Religioso, who is a physical therapist, educator, movement geek and expert (our word not his) on all things PT entrepreneurial related. We discussed his path to becoming a Physical Therapist, how he uses movement within his treatment paradigm, and the reasons that led him towards creating his brand, Modern Manual Therapy, the Eclectic Approach.

We also learn about his approach to educating patients about pain, as well and which music he likes to listen to while working. He's one of the leaders in the movement profession, and is respected for his viewpoint, ability to synthesize information and as a true gentleman.

This was a fun episode, so enjoy! And if you do like it, do what Erson suggests at the end of the episode and share it, while telling everyone, including your parents, to listen.
