The Concas‪t‬ Conor Collins

During this episode I had the pleasure of speaking with Jamie Johnston. Jamie is a Massage Therapist, firefighter and founder of the website The Massage Therapy Development Centre. Along with being a Massage Therapy educator, Jamie has a clinical practice. When he is not in clinic he spends his time helping to manage athletes in Hockey Canada's development program. 

Jamie and I discussed the importance of exercise and movement in clinical practice. We discussed how to prescribe exercise for patients in a pain. The difference between exercise for pain management, versus exercise and performance as well as much more.

An opportunity someone gave you, advice you received, or chance you took that elicited a long term repeating and endless effect. This is what I call the ripple effect. 

It's always interesting to think back on a moment in time and see the positive, or negative, fallout from nothing but a brief interaction or thought.

During this episode I discuss the positive "stones" I have been given in life and 5 key conversations, opportunities and chances I took that got me to where I am today. 

What stones have you been given and what were the outcomes? 

Comment below and I'll see you in the next one.

I am as good for a slice on the golf course as anyone. 

With golf season approaching I thought it would be great to sit down with someone that is far better at the sport than I am. During this episode I have the pleasure of chatting with Mark Cormier. Mark is strength coach and college instructor from Hamilton, Ontario in Canada. 

Mark and I covered topics like swing sequencing, training to become and better golfer, as well as how to help you recover when you are not on the course. 

What is the biggest weakness in your golf game ?

During this episode I had the pleasure of chatting with Dr. Gil Hedley. Gil is an integral anatomist from the United States and has spent much of his life examining, and teaching others to appreciate, the textures and layers of the human body. 

Our conversation allowed us to dive further into to depth on some of his well known analogies pertaining to the human body including the onion tree, his refined definition of "fuzz" and the heart centre. 

Gil also shared how his years of work in dissection have caused him to view stress, his life and how "slipperiness" is essential. 

Did you learn anything new during this episode?
