Movement Logic: Strong Opinions, Loosely Held

I found your podcast through your guest episode on Conspirituality and I am so grateful! As an aerial arts coach and personal trainer I am always looking for ways to continue learning and better meet my clients needs, and as you know it can be so hard to find sources of well researched, evidence based information presented in ways that are digestible and still full of personality. Very excited to have found you and looking forward to catching up on all this amazing material! Thank you!

Every time I listen I learn valuable information. And I laugh. It’s an amazing experience! Keep sharing your research based knowledge and movement optimism!

I’m new to this podcast and I’ve been listening to recent episodes. I just listened to this podcast on the McGill interview. What a wonderful dissection of this so-called program to reduce back pain! I had terrible back pain for a while and tried all the things, including McGill. Oh the fear! The bracing! If I still had pain it was clearly my fault for not bracing enough! Ugh. And I gave it a full year of serious effort. No significant change to the pain. Happily I have now been pain free for many years due to understanding the neuroscience of pain and the biopsychosocial model of pain. And I move! I dance! I lift! Thank you both for your excellent work.

I’m a Pilates teacher (20 years) and someone that has spent some time in physical therapy (broken ankle, hip replacement, and broken knee). I loved Episode 69 with Adam Meakins! I was a bit worried that I was going to be bummed out about the efficacy of physical therapy and all the money I have spent going to my PT. But as I was listening, I realized that I love my PT and he seems to be in line with what was discussed on the show. He started out clinician-driven care, since I was injured and scared and nervous about movement. As I got stronger and more confident, he let me drive our sessions regarding what our movement focus was going to be for the session and how hard I was going to work. As a Pilates teacher I had lots of my clients ask me why I wasn’t just doing my own “rehab”, but I was honest with them and told them that I will ALWAYS work harder for someone else who is watching than for myself. That’s why I go. Thanks for this interview, I continue to learn about my own philosophies of movement and grow my confidence as a teacher.
