    EP #12: Things you weren't taught at Uni.

    In this episode we discuss the things you were never taught at University. Ash and I deliberately didn't plan or prep for this, as we wanted this to be organic and off-the-cuff. And exactly for that reason, it was a great chat as we broke done a bunch of different things which are super important to us, yet were never taught at Uni. In this episode, we discuss: Misconceptions about what allied health is and what allied health is worth (from a monetary perspective) Underestimating being self-employed (client cancellations, annual leave, taxes) Session rates being proportionate and perceived client value The human side of working with clients: how we communicate and try to understand our clients Learning how to deal with and solve problems The importance of understanding socioeconomics and how that influences our businesses Charging what you are worth vs. what you think you are worth Marketing your products and business Being a digital company Why people need to know about your product Why it is so damn important to continually educate and upskill yourself It’s not what you know, it’s who you know The difference between doing courses to upskill vs. to feel better Networking and why connecting is a game changer Connecting with people that you can learn from and trade ideas with Why connections and having a large network will help you Why University offers a pool networking opportunities (Lack of) economics and business education in the allied health world Giving vs. taking Summary. We'd also absolutely love it if you subscribe to the pod as it'll help us to continue getting amazing guests on for chats about all different topics.

    EP #11: with Alex Effer - Breaking Down Patterns in Human Movement

    In this episode, we had the pleasure of talking to Alex Effer, an Exercise Physiologist, Strength & Conditioning Coach and Online Educator from Toronto, Canada. Alex is an absolute wizard when it comes to understanding human movement and has created systems which allow him to break down and then solve complex injuries and pain presentations. He also runs his own mentorship online and is very, very highly regarded in the field of performance and rehab. More importantly though, he's such a genuine and nice dude, so it was a pleasure chatting with him. In this podcast, we discuss: Alex's background (education and experiences) which led him to his current position Understanding systems and how they work in the human body, when it comes to movement How individuals compensate as a result of lack of movement ability, based on the assessment What you should be seeing and measuring in a 1 Rep Max and the differences between a 1RM and bodyweight movement How to prescribe "homework" for clients The go-to's first steps to help people to move better Teaching people how to sit, stand and walk properly so that they move better for good Using gait as an assessment tool How to use particular exercises to educate and provide awareness to our clients How you can use joint and body part positions to guide your understanding of movement abilities How the big toe relates directly to the hip and how you can use this to guide your intervention How a forward-shifted pelvis can create a host of movement limitations and compensations throughout the body The relationship between old injuries and current movement discomfort Understanding bunions and first toe problems and why this happens How driving your client's centre of gravity backwards can improve their mobility in numerous ways Alex's bucket list and things he'd like to tick off it Where you can find Alex Effer and learn from him.

    This week Jonny keeps in (relatively) local, catching up with Athletic Coach Konstantin Stamm, who is based in Hamburg, Germany. Konstantin has multiple years of experience as an Athletic Coach, working with a tennis club in Hamburg, along with a number of professional youth football players. Konstantin is also studying to become a physiotherapist so that he can best help athletes throughout the whole process from rehab to performance.

In this podcast, we discuss: Konstantin's background What blood flow restriction training (BFR) is from a internal perspective (what is actually happening at a cellular and hormonal level during BFR) The confusion of qualifications, particularly in Germany, but also just more generally around the world What happens at a hormonal level when we "get a juicy pump" during BFR What the traditional BFR protocol entails (reps and intensities) Using BFR to manage training and impact loads with athletes How BFR can be used during periods of higher fatigue to maintain strength without straining the body A great case study which highlights the positive use of BFR at higher intensities with youth athletes Using BFR during ACL rehab How to find the right pressure to use for the BFR cuff or band Contraindications of blood flow restriction training.
