    E25 - The Gain vs. The Gap: A Knee Rehab Case Study

    Two surgeries. Eight months of atrophy. A doctor who said six months for him to get back to running. Spoiler: its not 6 months. In this episode, I walk through one of the most complex client cases I've worked - a shattered patella, two surgical traumas, and what it actually takes to get someone back to running, cycling, and playing football. Send this to someone who recently got massively injured - doubting the rehab is completely normal. Listening to these case studies helps a lot.

    E24 - Exactly how to Rehab your Ankle Sprain

    Sprained ankles might be the most common injury & the most commonly ignored one. Especially if your main sport requires you to rapidly change directio or accel or decel, you want to have a full functioning ankle. If you never rehabbed your ankle sprain you most likely will not be able to push through the foot or stiffen (or soften) at the right time.  Yet, ankle rehab is often done really poorly.  Usually its: Rest - 10 Body Weight Calf Raises - Return to Main Sport Listen to this if you want to know how to do it better, so you can be back to changing directions or running down a technical downhill. -------- If you have any questions or topics you want me to talk about, feel free to shoot me a message.

    E23 - How to Rehab any Tendon & Spirituality w/ Jonny

    For this episode, I am joined by my friend & business partner Jonny. We were on our way down to the mountains to work on our return to run program and thought to make better use of our time by recording this masterpiece.  We talk about our framework to rehab tendons & how the approach changes depending on if we work with Achilles, Patella, Quad or Proximal Hamstring Tendons. Then we kind of landed at spirituality and me not being able to follow stupid rules before we came back to the tendons.  Have fun listening or watching or whatever you do with this episode :D -------- If you have any questions or topics you want me to talk about, feel free to shoot me a message.

    E21 - 10 Years Self-Employed: 5 Hard Truths on Coaching & Business

    This year marks 10 years of me being self-employed.  I would’ve never thought that the side hustle, which I started out of joy for training & movement, will turn into me helping athletes get from pain to performance and ultimately educating other physios & coaches on doing the same.  I believe self-employment is the best teacher you can have. Have a listen, however I think you will only truly understand & learn these things once you went through this yourself.  SO KEEN ON THE NEXT 10 YEARS!!!!

    E19 - We have a Stress Fracture Epidemic going on!

    We have a stress fracture epidemic going on! How can it be, that not only professional athletes but also ambitious people get so many stress fractures? I talk about:  Why we see so many bone stress injuries (BSI) currently How you can significantly decrease the risk of a BSI How to immediate act if you suspect a BSI How a proper return to run/ play protocol should look like do decrease the risk of re-injury This is not only physiological. Bone stress injuries have a huge psychological factor - many people suffering this type of injury have a problematic relationship with training, nutrition & load management.  If you are currently injured and your doctor said your return to run is „start with 5x1min on/off running and work your way up“ (spoiler: DO NOT DO THAT) then this is for you.  If you are a coach, I encourage you to listen to this, send this to your athletes and raise awareness about this topic!  Mentioned Studies:  Relationship between Carb Intake & Bone Remodeling https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9804216/ Bone Density in Athletes of Different Disciplines:  https://www.researchgate.net/publication/228498850_Bone_Mineral_Density_in_Athletes_of_Different_Disciplines_a_Cross-_Sectional_Study The new 10% Rule for running volumehttps://bjsm.bmj.com/content/59/17/1203 -------- If you have any questions or topics you want me to talk about, feel free to shoot me a message.
