    Brett Morse: Relaxed Speed, Force vs. Elasticity & Training the Overhead Athlete

    Welcome to the True Sports Physical Therapy Podcast. In this episode, Dr. Yoni Rosenblatt sits down with Brett Morse, a sports performance coach out of upstate New York and three-time All-American from Cortland University.   Brett breaks down how to diagnose whether an athlete is force-dominant or elastic-dominant using vertical jump comparisons, split times, and reactive strength indices. The conversation covers how to train each bucket, when to prioritize hypertrophy versus max strength, and why overcoming isometrics are underused in both performance and rehab settings.   The discussion also dives into rotational power for overhead athletes, the link between lower body strength and throwing velocity, and how med ball work bridges the gap between weight room capacity and sport skill.   Whether you are a sports PT or a performance coach, this conversation will sharpen how you assess and program for speed and power.

    Dr. Philippe Schafer, DPT: Male Pelvic Floor for Sports PTs, Building a Cash-Based Practice & the Standup Comedy Connection

    Welcome to the True Sports Physical Therapy Podcast. In this episode, Dr. Yoni Rosenblatt sits down with Dr. Philippe Schafer, a male pelvic floor specialist who owns Schafer Physical Therapy in Union Square, Manhattan. Philippe is a University of Maryland DPT graduate, former Georgetown strength and conditioning coach, and former standup comedian.   Philippe makes the case for why sports PTs should care about the male pelvic floor. He walks through his full evaluation process from the base of the neck to the feet, explains the obturator internus connection between the hip and pelvic floor, and shares how he has resolved persistent groin and hip cases by looking at pelvic floor involvement. He covers strengthening progressions from Kegels to sumo squats to single-leg work, mobility approaches including low-load long-duration stretching and weighted RDLs, and why defaulting to Kegels can actually make things worse.   The episode also covers Philippe's journey opening a cash-based practice in Manhattan, the grind of knocking on 70+ physician doors, and the key lesson from standup comedy that every clinician should hear: complete composure, no matter what the patient says.

    Austin Current, CSCS: Calf Hypertrophy Strategies, Mind-Muscle Connection & What Makes a Great PT

    Welcome to the True Sports Physical Therapy Podcast. In this episode, Dr. Yoni Rosenblatt sits down with Austin Current, CSCS, CISSN, strength coach, personal trainer, and author of The Science of Strength Training, for a conversation that bridges the gap between personal training and sports physical therapy.   Austin breaks down his approach to calf and gastroc hypertrophy using undulating intensity across the training week: heavy low-rep days, high-volume endurance sets, and moderate hypertrophy ranges all targeting the same tissue through different stimuli. He explains why fatigue-resistant muscles like calves and delts need more loading variance than most practitioners give them, and shares specific coaching cues (inside of the foot, barefoot setup, driving the ankle forward) that unlock end-range plantar flexion for athletes rehabbing post-Achilles.   The conversation also tackles mind-muscle connection, where Austin lands between the two extremes and why setup matters more than sensation for most trainees. He closes with his take on what makes a great PT from a trainer's perspective: strength equipment in the clinic, frequent two-way communication, and treating every session like a podcast with your client.   Whether you're a sports PT trying to grow a post-op gastroc, a strength coach refining your calf programming, or a clinician looking to build stronger referral relationships with trainers, this one delivers.

    Dr. Sean Sheridan: Keys to Return to Sport in Any Clinic: Small-Space Training & Risk Reduction

    Welcome to the True Sports Physical Therapy Podcast. In this episode, Dr. Yoni Rosenblatt sits down with Dr. Sean Sheridan, the clinician behind Return to Sport DPT, for a deep dive into what return to sport actually looks like when you strip away the fancy equipment and wide-open turf.   Sean breaks down his movement taxonomy for field and court sport athletes: acceleration, sprinting, deceleration, change of direction, and jumping/landing. He walks through how each pattern can be trained in a 500 square foot clinic using bands, medicine balls, metronomes, and creative positioning. The conversation covers his four-position framework for distilling athletic movement into limb relationships, Derek Hansen's A-run progressions for mimicking top-end speed in place, and how band resistance replicates deceleration forces without needing a runway.   One of the most practical sections tackles objective testing on a budget: why a $200 dynamometer pays for itself over a career, how to use Planet Fitness for 10 RM limb symmetry data, and which functional tests actually require nothing more than a tape measure and a phone.   Whether you're a new grad intimidated by return to sport, a travel PT working in general clinics, or a clinic director outfitting a space on a tight budget, this episode delivers.

    Dr. Zach Adams & Dr. Sydney Cope: Building Elite PT Sessions, Patient Connection & Managing Expectations

    Welcome to the True Sports Physical Therapy Podcast. In this episode, Dr. Yoni Rosenblatt sits down with two True Sports clinicians, Dr. Zach Adams and Dr. Sydney Cope, for a master class on what actually makes a physical therapy session great.   Zach and Sydney break down the specific habits that separate average sessions from elite ones: how micro assessments during every exercise drive better outcomes, why celebrating small victories changes an athlete's trajectory, and what it looks like to be fully locked in with the person in front of you. The conversation also covers how to handle patients who walk in wanting the wrong treatment, from manual therapy requests when the research points to loading, to navigating the line between patient buy-in and clinical integrity.   One of the most practical sections digs into where students and new hires struggle most: mimicking their CI instead of developing their own clinical identity, going too personal too fast, and letting body language undermine credibility before a word is spoken.   Whether you're a new grad figuring out your clinical voice, a staff PT sharpening your session flow, or a clinic director mentoring the next generation, this episode delivers.

    Greyson Daviau: Inside AT-PT Collaboration - Athlete First, Ego Never

    Welcome to the True Sports Physical Therapy Podcast. In this episode, Dr. Yoni Rosenblatt sits down with Greyson Daviau, an athletic trainer at York College of Pennsylvania who brings a collaborative, patient-first approach to how ATs and PTs work together.   Greyson walks through the real overlap and divergence between athletic trainers and physical therapists: where scopes align in rehab, where ATs bring acute care and daily athlete access that PTs simply don't have, and why the grind of 60-70 hour weeks in a training room builds a different kind of clinical readiness. The conversation also covers how to manage multiple athletes at different stages of recovery simultaneously, and why front-loading education and autonomy is the key to making that work.   One of the most honest moments is the discussion around gatekeeping on both sides. Greyson breaks down why ATs sometimes view PTs as too conservative and why PTs sometimes feel shut out, then explains how direct clinician-to-clinician conversations at True Sports York have cut through those narratives entirely.   Whether you're a sports PT trying to build better relationships with athletic trainers, an AT navigating the evolving profession, or a clinic owner thinking about interdisciplinary collaboration, this one delivers.

    Andrew Coates: Training Around Injury, Client Retention & Building a Career That Lasts

    Welcome to the True Sports Physical Therapy Podcast. In this episode, Dr. Yoni Rosenblatt sits down with Andrew Coates, a veteran personal trainer with over 15 years on the gym floor and an interesting background that shapes how he builds client relationships, referral networks, and a sustainable in-person business. Andrew shares why the human element of coaching matters more than social media clout, how being visible and engaged on the gym floor compounds into a referral tree that feeds your business for years, and why he believes the industry's push toward online coaching leaves many trainers worse off. The conversation also dives into cross-education training: the research-backed phenomenon where training a healthy limb reduces atrophy in an injured, immobilized one. One of the standout moments is Andrew's breakdown of how to program around injuries using safety squat bars, single-leg machines, and creative sled variations to keep clients training through recovery rather than sitting out entirely. Whether you're a personal trainer, physical therapist, or clinic owner trying to build a practice that runs on relationships rather than algorithms, this episode delivers. Tune in and rethink how you show up for the people in front of you. #PersonalTraining #AndrewCoates #ClientRetention #CrossEducation #TrueSportsPT #RehabTraining #PhysicalTherapy #SportsRehab #RehabPodcast #StrengthAndConditioning

    Alex Effer: Why Rehab Fails (And How to Fix It)

    Welcome to the True Sports Physical Therapy Podcast. In this episode, Dr. Yoni Rosenblatt is joined by Canadian clinical exercise physiologist and biomechanics expert Alex Effer. Together, they explore a radically different and insightful approach to injury rehab, one that challenges the traditional muscle-centric model by focusing on joint biomechanics, breathing patterns, and global movement strategies. Alex breaks down how center of mass, joint orientation, and pressure systems drive muscular activity, not the other way around. From understanding hip internal rotation to demystifying anterior shoulder pain, this conversation is filled with practical gems that connect table assessments to standing strength work. You'll learn why conventional stretches might be making problems worse and how nuanced, joint-first interventions can lead to lasting change. The conversation also dives deep into shoulder mechanics, contrasting common misconceptions around impingement with biomechanical truths. Alex shows how scapular control, breathing, and rib cage dynamics play a crucial role in shoulder and hip mobility and how these patterns can be coached effectively in the gym. Whether you're a sports physical therapist, rehab-minded coach, or just someone who loves human movement science, this episode will change how you view assessment, rehab, and performance. Tune in and discover a fresh framework that fuses strength training with high-level biomechanical principles. #SportsPhysicalTherapy #AlexEffer #ResilientRehab #Biomechanics #MovementScience #JointBasedTraining #TrueSportsPT #RehabPodcast #PhysicalTherapy #StrengthAndConditioning
