DVRT (dynamic variable resistance training) is a systems based on training and stressing your body through all the planes of motion.  It introduces implements and movements that will challenge not just your stability but also your mobility through all your joints.  The implement most commonly used is the ultimate sand bag that has almost endless options to get creative with your training. ​ We stood up with Cory Cripe who is a Master DVRT Trainer and owner of Fitness Lying Down in La Crosse, WI and he gave us a full run down of the DVRT system.  We talk about all the applications of the system and how it can be helpful from eliminating pain, to getting strong and even increasing performance.  If you have ever been curious about training with sandbags you'll want to hear this. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/clinicallypressed/support

We had the distinct honor of teaming up with Coulee Health and O'Brien Physical Therapy to help out at the Grandad's Half Marathon in La Crosse, WI.  During our time providing post race soft tissue treatments we seemed to have a lot of reoccurring themes that we would talk about with all of the runners.  Well since we were there we figured why not create a short episode and lay down some ideas to help aide in recovery.  ​ Without getting to far into the details in this episode we do outline a lot of the 'simple' things we think you can implement into your recovery strategy to get ready for the next race or just get back and get ready for your next round of training.  Check them out and see what you can apply to your recovery strategy. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/clinicallypressed/support

Fueling your body as a competitive athlete can be much harder than it looks.  We often times see the biggest issue come up with under consuming and when that it happens it tends to be by a lot.  In this round table discussion we talk about the biggest issues we have seen with competitive athlete nutrition.  How do you know how many calories to consume on a daily basis?  Should it be a specific breakdown of macro-nutrients? --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/clinicallypressed/support

The world seems to have to be polarized these days and you have to be on you extreme or the other in order to get noticed and grab attention.  That ranges from being completely based in the evidence to selling anything that could potential have an 'effect' (i.e. snake oil).  As a provider and/or consumer what should you do with this?  What should you believe? ​ In this episode we talk about what everything means when it comes to these areas and our thoughts on it.  We don't think it is a bad thing to have a continuum on this scale and potentially be a 'jack of all trades'.  We throw out some ideas and things you can use to make sure you don't get taken or end up not doing anything at all. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/clinicallypressed/support

After attending a Dry Needling course and getting some fantastic extra clinical pearls this one really stuck out to me. It was extremely interesting to think about utilizing lumbar adjustments as rehab, through the stretch reflex of muscles. We aren't downplaying rehab at all and think it is really important but I had never thought of this concept as something that worked in this way. So I did my best to recap it.
