This week to the podcast we welcomed Tristan Jacobs AKA @TJpainfree. TJ specialises in helping strength trainees to go from pain to performance & has worked with a huge number of powerlifters within Ireland.
In today’s discussion we discussed all things injury related from TJ’s own approach with clients to what we should look out for when trying to get back into training.
The pain + rehab world can be a bit of a Wild West environment where people are sold the world but get little of help in return. Many modalities + approaches lack evidence of effectiveness but are sold in a nice package of anecdotes & neat narratives.
TJ’s approach + philosophy seeks to help his clients understand the principles of recovery + rehab to improve their self efficacy, evade all the BS that’s out there & most importantly find the root of their problem to get them back to training!
Topics covered:
TJs background + philosophy
Are passive modalities useful for injury?
The rationale behind passive modalities
Movement screening
Does mixed grip cause muscle imbalances?
What contributes towards pain + injury?
Removing fear from movement
Round back deadlifting
Modifying training after an injury
The importance of communication
