If you listen to Untold Physio Stories podcast, you'll know I'm a HUGE fan of failure stories and what we can learn from them. Dave's story here is powerful and well worth a read! - Dr. E In the 12 years that I have been coaching gymnastics, I have been lucky to experience some incredible moments. Like when one of our gymnasts hits a huge routine at Regionals and qualifies herself to nationals, causing everyone to erupt in celebration. Or the tear-jerking moment when a graduating senior tells a room packed full of parents and young gymnasts – “I am proud of the person I have become thanks to our gym, the coaches, and gymnastics as a whole.” In contrast to this, I have also had experienced some truly awful moments of regret. Today I would like to share the lowest moment of my coaching career, in an effort to help you not make the same mistakes I did. It c...

In this quick video, I emphasize the importance of learning how to sell physical therapy and what it means to the patient's overall happiness. What happens when we don't sell physical therapy? Say a patient has back pain and goes to the doctor. They tell the patient to stop squatting, that they need an injection or even surgery to fix the issue. Can you imagine what that does to people? Patients get told they have the "worst spine they've ever seen" by their doctor and that there's no hope, that there is nothing they can do. I had a patient come in once whose name was Todd. There was nothing wrong on his X-ray, but they told him they needed to do surgery to figure out what was causing him pain in his ankle. He’s exactly why I'm on my mission to save 100 million people from unnecessary surgery. What's going to happen if we don't sell physical therapy? People are going to call and they'll go, “Do you take my insurance?” You'...

This post was first found on Specialist Pain Physio I am often asked why coaching? And why coaching to overcome pain?  So in this blog, I’ll tell you why coaching has become the main way in which I help people to ease their suffering and overcome their pain, blending the latest understanding of pain with strengths-based coaching. I haven’t looked back since. I knew that I wanted to get the best out of each individual, encouraging them to reach their potential, to make a real difference. Just helping people understand pain and providing exercises was not yielding results that deep down I knew could be achieved. There was something missing; something vital. Why coaching? ~ getting the best from individuals For many years I coached youngsters to play cricket. It occurred to me that what I most enjoyed was seeing how the individual’s approach to the game impacted upon his or her performance. This is the same when we want to overcome a challenge in life. Understanding our existi...

Rheumatoid arthritis or RA, can affect the ankle joints in the same way as other joints, causing pain, inflammation, and swelling. RA in the ankles is less common than in other areas, such as the hands and feet, and may develop as the condition progresses. Learn about what RA in the ankles may feel like and treatments.

f The patient in this video is a gymnast who had a bilateral inversion ankle sprain twice twice within 4 months. After focusing on improving lateral tibial glide mobility, single limb stance stability, and motor control/proprioception with the Motion Guidance -  we progressed to the exercise in the video. Using a combination of EDGE Restriction System BFR Cuffs -  to help promote hypertrophy and modulate pain/soreness, we progressed to partially supported and then unsupported squats with her ankles in slight plantarflexion and inversion. This is to make her tissues more ready to land in an unstable or potentially injury causing position. After several weeks of this, she happened to land on a mat incorrectly, with a mild inversion sprain, she was mildly sore for a few days, but recovered much quicker than normal and is now back to full gymnastics.
