    Returning to Golf After Injury: Why Pain-Free Doesn’t Mean Ready to Play

    Feeling better doesn’t always mean you’re ready to get back on the course. In this episode of the Movement Driven Podcast, Dr. Greg Goldberger, PT, DPT, OCS, TPI, breaks down what a safe and effective return to golf after injury can actually look like — and why jumping back into 18 holes too soon could leave you dealing with the same injury all over again. Dr. Greg explains why the body needs time to rebuild its tolerance to the demands of your golf swing, how he gradually progresses golfers from basic movement back to full rounds, and the role mobility, muscle control, strength, and power play in the return-to-sport process. You’ll also hear why recovery isn’t always linear, what milestones Dr. Greg looks for before increasing activity, how TPI assessments can uncover limitations affecting your golf swing, and why simply being out of pain isn’t the same as being ready for sport. Whether you’re recovering from a back injury, dealing with a nagging issue that keeps returning, or simply want to move and perform better on the course, this episode will help you better understand what your body needs before you tee it up again.

    Tennis Elbow vs. Golfer’s Elbow: What’s Really Causing Your Pain?

    Tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow aren’t just injuries for tennis players and golfers—and the source of your elbow pain may not actually be your elbow. In this episode of the Movement Driven Podcast, Dr. Greg Goldberger breaks down the difference between tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow, what causes each condition, and why repetitive gripping, lifting, typing, sports, and everyday activities can all contribute to elbow pain. Dr. Greg also explains why treating only the painful area may provide temporary relief without addressing the real problem. Shoulder strength, rotator cuff function, upper-back mobility, and even hip mobility can influence how much stress eventually reaches the elbow. For golfers, Dr. Greg dives into how a TPI (Titleist Performance Institute) movement assessment can identify physical limitations that may be affecting the golf swing and contributing to elbow pain—including the surprising connection between lead-hip mobility and golfer’s elbow. In this episode:• Tennis elbow vs. golfer’s elbow and how to tell the difference• Why you don’t have to play tennis or golf to develop either condition• How repetitive gripping and lifting can contribute to elbow pain• Why shoulder and upper-back mobility matter• Common mistakes people make when trying to treat elbow pain themselves• How golf swing mechanics can contribute to golfer’s elbow• What a TPI assessment can reveal about your movement• Simple steps to take when elbow pain first starts• Why getting evaluated earlier can make recovery easier If elbow pain has been keeping you from lifting, golfing, training, working, or doing the activities you enjoy, don’t wait months hoping it will disappear.

    Rotator Cuff Tears: Do You Really Need Surgery? [E53]

    A rotator cuff tear on an MRI can sound scary—but does it automatically mean surgery? In this episode of the Movement Driven Podcast, Dr. Greg Goldberger breaks down what rotator cuff tears actually mean, why imaging doesn’t always tell the full story, and how physical therapists determine whether a shoulder injury may be appropriate for rehab or needs further evaluation. Dr. Greg covers the difference between partial and full-thickness rotator cuff tears, why weakness can sometimes be a bigger red flag than pain, and what symptoms may warrant imaging or a referral to a surgeon. He also walks through what non-surgical rotator cuff rehab can look like, from reducing pain and restoring everyday function to rebuilding strength and returning to the sports and activities you love. In this episode:• What the rotator cuff is and how it stabilizes the shoulder• Partial vs. full-thickness rotator cuff tears• Why MRI findings don’t always match your pain or function• Shoulder pain vs. shoulder weakness• Red flags that may warrant further evaluation• When physical therapy may be an option before surgery• What rotator cuff rehab and recovery can look like• Returning to lifting, golf, throwing, tennis, pickleball, and other activities• Why shoulder pain at night shouldn’t be ignored If shoulder pain is keeping you from sleeping comfortably, lifting, working out, playing your sport, or simply doing the things you enjoy, Movement Driven can help determine what’s actually going on and what your next step should be.

    Postpartum Recovery, Pelvic Health & Functional Medicine: What Every Mom Needs to Know with Dr. Jenny Quartano, PT, DPT [E52]

    Dr. Greg is joined by Dr. Jenny Quartano, PT, DPT — CEO of All Together Wellness in Jacksonville Beach and a board-certified specialist in neurologic and pediatric physical therapy — for a conversation on what real postpartum care and family wellness should look like. Dr. Quartano shares why she moved from treating pediatric patients in their homes to building a comprehensive care model for the whole family, and why moms are so often left out of the equation after childbirth. The conversation covers the gap in postpartum recovery support after C-sections, common misconceptions about pelvic floor health (Kegels aren't always the answer), how nervous system dysregulation shows up as physical tension and pain, and how functional medicine — rooted in sleep, stress, diet, and lifestyle — can help identify root causes instead of just managing symptoms. Dr. Greg and Dr. Quartano also break down the many specialties within physical therapy and why finding the right specialist, not just any PT, makes all the difference in your outcomes. Topics covered: Why postpartum recovery deserves more than a six-week check-inCommon pelvic floor myths and what actually helpsHow stress and nervous system regulation affect pain and tensionWhat functional medicine looks like in practice (food and lifestyle first, supplements second)The many specialties within physical therapy and how to find the right fitLearn more about Dr. Quartano and All Together Wellness at altogetherwellness.net.

    Avoiding Surgery: A Real Patient's Recovery Story [E51]

    A doctor told her she'd need surgery just to lift her arm overhead again. She didn't believe him — and she was right. In this episode, Dr. Greg shares the story of a patient who came in after a car accident with months of neck and shoulder pain, having already tried physical therapy, chiropractic care, and massage elsewhere with no relief. He breaks down what changed the outcome: treating the whole person instead of a single diagnosis, using dry needling and targeted strength work to address the real source of her pain, and building a plan she could actually follow through on. Dr. Greg also gets honest about the limits of the insurance-driven PT model, why "you'll never get better" is something a provider should never say to a patient, and why consistency between visits — not just time spent in the clinic — is often the biggest factor in recovery. If you've been told surgery is your only option, this episode might change how you think about that. 📅 Ready to get started? Visit movementdriven.com to book a Discovery Call.

    Why Your Shoulder Hurts Overhead: Rotator Cuff Pain, Impingement & Scapular Mobility Explained [E50]

    Ever feel a pinch or ache every time you reach overhead? Dr. Greg breaks down why the shoulder is the most complex joint in the body and what's really happening when overhead movement causes pain. He explains how to tell the difference between rotator cuff tendinopathy and shoulder impingement based on exactly where and when the pain shows up during a press or reach — and why the shoulder blade's mobility (not just the joint itself) is often the real culprit. He covers the role of the thoracic spine, rib cage, and scapula as a "team" that has to work together for healthy shoulder function, plus everyday triggers you might not expect: yard work, lifting your kids or grandkids, and even certain sleep positions. If shoulder pain is affecting your workouts, your sleep, or your ability to enjoy everyday activities, don't wait for it to get worse.

    Youth Sports & Mental Health: Beating Performance Anxiety with Maggie Mahany, LMHC [E49]

    Dr. Greg sits down with licensed mental health counselor and CrossFit L2 coach Maggie Mahany to unpack the mental side of athletic performance—especially for young athletes. They dig into why kids are specializing in sports earlier than ever, how unspoken parental pressure shapes a child's relationship with their sport, and why building strong "core beliefs" matters more than any technical skill. Maggie breaks down how she works with adolescent and professional athletes on performance anxiety, reframing negative self-talk, and creating simple mental cues athletes can repeat in the heat of competition. The conversation also covers Maggie's experience serving as a mental performance coach at the CrossFit Games, the "walk and talk" and "ruck and talk" therapy sessions she uses to help clients—especially men—open up more comfortably, and practical, tangible tools (like written affirmations and training logs) that turn therapy insight into real behavior change. Whether you're a parent of a young athlete, a competitor working through mental blocks, or just curious about the psychology behind performance, this episode offers a grounded look at building mental resilience on and off the field.
