The Physical Therapy Soapbox

Dr. Andrew Rothschild, PT

Treating humans with musculoskeletal pain is complicated. If anyone tells you they have the secret, run. Unfortunately, there is a lot of misleading information literally at our fingertips that prevents people from truly getting better. As a physio and someone who has recovered from back surgery and persistent pain, I know how vulnerable people in pain can be and the power of knowledge. My goal with this podcast is to dispel myths and provide the most updated and accurate information when it comes to physical therapy & rehabilitation as well as general health and wellness.

    Footwear

    Wearing super-cushy, elevated, and tight shoes on your feet is like wearing winter gloves or mittens on your hands, and then trying to type with them. Your foot health and function can directly relate to the health of your knees, hips, and back, especially if you're an active individual, but also for anyone who spends any time on their feet on a daily basis. Dr. Andrew Rothschild, PT and Dr. Andrew Mann, PT discuss footwear and what people need to know when choosing basic every day shoes. In a nutshell, shoes should look like your feet, wide in front and narrow in the heel, and be comfortable with the least amount of support necessary.  Dr. Andrew Rothschild instagram (@arothschildpt) Dr. Andrew Mann instagram (@runningmanndpt) Virginia Center for Spine & Sports Therapy instagram (@vcsst_pt) https://therunningclinic.com/minimalist-index/

    Running prep tests

    On this episode, Dr. Andrew Mann discusses the tests he likes to use for runners either returning to running after an injury or hiatus, or for people who want to start running. These can be performed yourself with only a chair required for equipment.  Dr. Andrew Rothschild pretends he wants to start running after 20+ years even though everyone knows he really doesn't.  Follow our instagram account for videos of all the tests described in the episode (vcsst_pt), and of course, Seinfeld trivia!
