Restoring Human Movement - For the Outdoor Lovers
Hosted by Sebastian, Mandy, Dawne - Performance Place | Sports Chiropractic & Rehab · EN
You shouldn't have to pack up your trail gear or cancel a summer trip just because your body is pushing back.
Welcome to the Restoring Human Movement podcast, a periodic show for hikers, backpackers, and trail runners who are navigating the physical realities of training in their 40s and beyond. Hosted by the sports chiropractic and rehab team at Performance Place Sports Care in Costa Mesa, California, we don't release episodes on a rigid corporate schedule...we only drop a new show when we have something genuinely useful to share.
Our goal is to give you clear, no-nonsense strategies to manage growing pains and stubborn injuries without forcing you onto the sidelines. We focus on the exact issues that take outdoor athletes off the trail, including lower back pain, hip impingement, labral tears, sports hernias, plantar fasciitis, and patellofemoral knee pain.
If you want to understand how your body actually handles load and how to fix your biomechanics, this is for you. We see patients in person at our Costa Mesa clinic, and we also provide telehealth consultations across multiple states. Hit subscribe to keep your training on track. Call us if you want some help getting back to activity. https://www.p2sportscare.com/ 714-502-4243

Evidence Based Practice Suggestions From An Evidence Collector Andy Galpin
Sep 26, 2018Tap to summarizeI had the opportunity to speak to Dr. Andy Galpin PhD on the podcast recently. I thought his point of view as researcher would be extremely informative to clinicians like myself, that claim to be an “evidence-based provider.” Are we actually practicing what the evidence shows? Should we only practice what the evidence shows? These are just a few of the touch points Dr. Gaplin covered for us today. You’ll love this informative conversation if you’re a Doctor of Chiropractic, Physical Therapist, Exercise Science student, Rehab Specialist, or “Evidence-Based Practitioner.” Show Notes HERE Dr. Andy Galpin’s Bio: Director of Education: Andy is a tenured Professor in the Center for Sport Performance at CSU Fullerton. He was born and raised in beautiful Rochester, WA and is a die-hard Seahawks, Huskies, & Mariner fan. RIP Sonics. As a youth, Andy played every sport at his disposal, excelling at Football, Basketball, Baseball, and Track & Field. While not playing, he worked at grocery stores, gas stations, hay fields, blueberry farms, and in the road construction business. It was during this time he discovered Strength & Conditioning. Andy took his limited talents to Linfield College to join their Football team and pursue a degree in Exercise Science. While he experienced great success in both (2004 National Championship and 2x Captain and immediate inductee into the "All Ugly" Team), the true reward of this time was the meeting of lifelong friend (Doug Larson). The two fed each other's pursuit of knowledge of human performance and led them to attend the University of Memphis for the Masters degrees in Human Movement Sciences. A bit of luck and excellent faculty mentoring led Doug and Andy to meet Mike Bledsoe and the man formally known as "Barbell Buddha" Chris Moore - all of which later led to the creation of the #1 Health & Fitness Podcast in the world Barbell Shrugged. It also marked the start of Andy's competitive Weightlifting (culminating in his 7th Place finish in the 2007 National Championships), Mixed Martial Arts, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu careers. Needing to know more about muscle, Andy spent 4 years studying the structure and function of human skeletal muscle at the single cell level, a feat which earned him a PhD in Human Bioenergetics in 2011. This also resulted in the friendship with frequent collaborator Dr. Jimmy Bagley and the ability to open up his own "Biochemistry and Molecular Exercise Physiology Laboratory" at CSU Fullerton. He now focuses his attention on teaching classes (Sports Nutrition, Exercise Physiology, Designing Exercise Programs, Applied Strength and Conditioning, Athlete Assessment and Measurement, etc.) and running the BMEP lab (which studies the acute responses and chronic adaptations of human skeletal muscle in response to high force/velocity/power and fatiguing exercise from the whole body, down to the individual muscle fiber and even into the individual DNA. The team does this by taking muscle biopsies from non-athletes and elite athletes from different backgrounds (e.g. normal college student, MMA fighter, Boxer, Weightlifter, etc.) and use highly sophisticated laboratory techniques and equipment to address questions about single fiber "type", size, function, protein quantity, diameter, mitochondria, and myonuclear function. You can get all of our published research here. At heart, Andy is simply a story-teller and teacher.
