Plantar fascia pain is a real pain in the foot and can be difficult to manage. This study looks at how treatment of trigger points in the calf musculature can impact the thickness of the plantar fascia as well as the pain the patient is feeling. We discuss what this means and how you can apply to your own care and management of plantar fascia pain. Lots of good ideas coming out to this one that you can practically apply. Reference: Saein, A.

In this Clinical Insight we take a shallow dive into the Radiculo-Neuropathic Myofascial Pain Model. This model was heavily influenced by Dr. Chan Gunn. It is a very solid model in the evaluation and treatment of chronic pain as it takes into consideration a lot of key components that play a role in the production of chronic pain. We talk through how the combination of Cannon’s Law, denervation and other factors play a role in chronic pain based on how this model describes it. At the end we discuss what are some practical recommendations that you can try immediately to see if there is something you can do if you are dealing with chronic pain.    Check it out, leave a comment and we will continue the discussion as well as we can to keep helping make the complicated simple.   BOOK LINK: Treatment of Chronic Pain (https://amzn.to/3agkT3m)   #Podcast #Clinically #Pressed #Wellness #Performance #Nutrition #ComplicatedSimple #Science #fitness #health #strength #athletics #medical #training #exercise #sportsscience #chiropractic #exercisescience #athletictraining #sports #pain #painrelief #weightloss #kettlebells #complicatedsimple #tpdn #rnmp #myofascial #myofascialpain #chronicpain #dryneedling --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/clinicallypressed/support

We got to sit down and talk with Greg Nuckols.  Greg is the found and huge contributor to 'Stronger by Science'.  This is a blog and email newsletter that breaks down the science that is out there when it comes to strength training.  Greg is in the middle of his Master's degree to continue to increase his knowledge of how research works and how to best utilize it to get the results we are looking for. ​  We talk about how it is hard to fully understand research and even when you think that you do understand it there is no promise that how the statistics were run that what you are going in the conclusion is correct.  Greg talks bout a lot of the ways to get around these pitfalls and what he and his team are trying to do in order to help set a better standard when it comes to the science of getting strong and performing well.  Great episode if you're into the research.   Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/c/clinicallypressed?sub_confirmation=1   Find everything and sign up for episode delivery at www.clinicallypressed.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/clinicallypressed/support

Trying to convince someone that a certain technique, item or program is the most effective can be a daunting task. There are many ways in which to communicate the information but which way is most effective? Telling stories and testimonials? Or getting them the hard facts and statistics about why something works? In this research review we looks at that very question and provides some insight on when and where to use different types of information to help make your case. Reference: Freling, T.

The title is meant to be as catchy as it is but the content is still solid and worth digging into. Tim Ferriss breaks down many areas of health and fitness and how you can implement those ideas with the minimal amount of time required, i.e. the 4 hour body. Whether you are looking to drop a few pounds or gain a few pounds of muscle, there is a way to try and do it with the minimal effective dose. If you are just starting out or a practitioner just looking for new ideas there is something for you in this book.

It can be great to have protocols and principles you work off of but if they become too rigid it can cause issues with either rushing someone or holding them back unnecessarily. In this Insight we talk about having structured principles while also maintaining some flexibility and reserving the right to change your mind or change course when the situation calls for it. This idea can be implemented in health, fitness, sports medicine and more, including leadership. Check it out.

It is important to identify not only barriers to health and fitness but also the motivators that help people get to where they want to be. We are hoping to bring some potential solutions through Clinically Pressed but these are so key for both people trying to get health and fit but also for the people that serve them. We did a small mini-review to help identify and discuss them. Motivators: +Improve health/energy/body image/lose excess weight +Social influences +Reinforcement/assistance/motivational interviewing/problem solving communication +Belief in benefit Barriers: +Time/No leisure time/motivation +Lack of experience +Unaffordable indulgence +Environmental factors References: Spiteri, K., Broom, D., Bekhet, A.

Very little is new in the worlds of strength & conditioning/nutrition/fitness/performance yet, more and more seems to be coming out. How is that? Well most of it is in the interpretation, consolidation, and ultimately implementation of this information that can make it new and effective. It is ok for practitioners not to discover the “next big thing” if you can collect ideas and thoughts and ultimately apply it to the individuals you work with. This can make you highly adaptable and useful to those you serve (or you should look for this in someone if searching for services). Being able to take different ideas and utilize them with the people you work with can make you most effective as you don’t force something on to someone when it doesn’t fit.

This research review looks at a study that utilized “research snacks” to see the effects on insulin, glucose and free fatty acids after melas throughout the day. These “snacks” consisted of ascending 3 flights of stairs as fast as possible every hour throughout the day. Each time would take between 10-20s. The results showed that for an overweight and obese group there was a decrease in insulin and free fatty acid levels, no changes in these levels occurred in a healthy group. Interesting concept to help control blood levels with a minimal amount of effort throughout the day. Check it out. Fafiei, H., Omidian, K., Myette-Cote, E., & Little, J.P. (2020).
