What is it like being a female physical therapist of color?
What is it like being a female physical therapist of color, who also competes and treats bodybuilders?
I pick Dr. Principal’s brain on these topics, as well as asking why other physical therapists of color don’t know about each other, and why physical therapists are so damn “greedy”.
Dr. Suze-Elisha Principal has been a PT for over 14 years, specializing in treating spine, shoulder, and knee dysfunctionS, with an extensive background in neurogenic pain (sciatica, pinched nerves). She has a stron...

MovEvolution Heal, Move & Evolve Podcast20 Your Butt: How to Properly Screen and Train your Gluteus MediusSo there's been a lot of talk about the gluteus medius (GM) and it’s role in:
hip abduction
hip internal and external rotation (dependent upon hip position)
pelvic stability
controlling knee valgus
I'm not here to refute any of this. It's all true. My issue lies with how the GM is both screened and treated. If we wish to delver the best outcome to our clients, then we must dig deeper into the terms structure and function --- which are clinically synonymous for anatomy and physiology.
Listen and learn the importance of knowing how the GM muscles function and how...

These are not just axioms, but solid beliefs. But why? Why do we believe that as we age, we are expected to get ill, lose function and competence, and become frail? Where and when did we learn to connect "aging" with deterioration? Why do we limit our full, physical potential the older we get?

4. Comprehension (of movement and fitness)
However, some children have developmenta delaysl (e.g. roll, crawl, sit up, balance on knee(s) or may lack the basic motor control, balance or stability needed to perform fundamental movements ( e.g. squat, lunge, climb, run, kick, swing) without loss of form, technique or incurring injury.

MovEvolution Heal, Move & Evolve Podcast11 - How Do We Define Fitness & the 4 C's of Fitness w/ Dr. Bo Babenko of Fitcare Physio: Part 2What does “physical fitness” mean to the therapist, coach or trainer and what does it mean to the client?
Communication and comprehension are both key components to the success of your client’s performance. Being bogged down with finding the absolute, perfect definition of “physical fitness” (a malleable term that will most likely evolve with time) is less important than explaining the rationale behind the why and how we test individual physical fitness.

As a Physical Therapist, Strength and Conditioning Coach and educator, I find it uber important to be clear with our terminology when speaking to clients about training, workouts, programing, etc.
Defining “fitness” is no exception. If we are teaching our clients to be “fit” without explaining the “what”, “why”, “how” and“when”, then we are no better than the majority of other folks out our there, throwing this word around like "mobility" and "cardio".
