29| Stories We Love: Sam Richman

Thu, 31 Aug 2023 16:00:00 -0400

Thank you, Sam Richman for sharing your story on the Move Without Limits summer mini series Stories We Love.

At 18 years old Sam was told by doctors that she would never run again. But if they could only see her now! Sam has spent the last 10 years of pain management and rehab proving them wrong. She has gone through shattered bones, multiple hip and knee surgeries and complex regional pain syndrome. Sam's story is not only a testament to how she built physical resilience and took ownership of her training but how she developed the mental strength and tools to create her own happiness.

If you ask Sam there is no option to NOT be patient in rehab and training. The best things take time but you need to BELIEVE that they can happen before that happen.

Listen to gain perspective on:

The power of being vulnerable and being present in vulnerability
Having ownership of your own story, happiness and outcomes
Tools to work on your relationship with pain

24| Season 2: What is ONE thing you can do to improve your health TODAY?

Fri, 31 Mar 2023 03:00:00 -0400

You want to feel healthy and amazing. The problem is that current healthcare is notorious for gimmicks and sexy marketing. With an abundance of mediocre options, what do you do to feel better?

In this season 2 MWL podcast finale we asked the best clinicians and coaches we know for some advice to help you.

Considering all dimensions of health [physical, emotional, social, intellectual, financial, spiritual, occupational, environmental] what is ONE thing you can do TODAY to improve your health?

Our interview guests answered in whatever way they felt most inspired.

You have thoughts and behaviors available to you right now, free of charge that can immensely improve your wellbeing- especially when a behavior you adopt today is practiced overtime.

My hope is that this season is thought provoking and inspires you to take action.

Please continue to share Move Without Limits with your friends, family and colleagues. Please continue to subscribe and rate us- it really helps us out!

We would be so thankful if you would write us a review! Thank you!

20| Matthew Bennett: Post-traumatic Growth & Recovery Resiliency Using HRV Tracking

Mon, 20 Feb 2023 15:00:00 -0500

How do you know if you're doing what you intended to do? More specifically- while working towards a health & wellness goal- How do you know if what you're spending your time and energy doing is actually bringing you closer to what you desire?

As coaches and clinicians we spend years learning how to assess a person and choose initial interventions to achieve healing and performance goals. But as you work with someone can you confidently determine if your training parameters or interventions are bringing you closer or further away from your desired outcome?

This episode of the Move Without Limits we interview Matt Bennett to give some light to the world of biomarkers- heart rate variability (HRV), in particular. As a psychotherapist Matt found he could measure progress with behavior and self-report but he had no way to “get under the skin”, as he says. For Matt, working in a trauma-informed environment, the true goal is to heal the underlying neurological injury left over by trauma. That's why biomarkers are a helpful measure.

Originally Matt’s interest in HRV came from working in special education schools, child welfare, homelessness, HIV & public health arenas. But what he cares about most now and what he doesn’t think is given enough attention to is trauma-informed care of the healthcare practitioners. Matt is concerned with the burnout of professions in mental health, social services, education and healthcare. If the health and healing of the underlying neurobiological injury left over by trauma of the workforce isn’t taken care of- how can we be expected to spend our lives helping other humans? I’m sure you’ve heard the saying- You can’t pour from an empty cup. Today’s episode gives meaning and helpful action to that phrase.

Matt has a master’s degree in community psychology and executive development (non-profit management), as well as a master’s in business administration in health care. Matt specializes in the delivery of trauma-informed care, quality improvement, results-based leadership, and Motivational Interviewing. Matt has successfully combined his academic pursuits as a researcher, blogger, and published author with his practical experience in leading non-profit organizations and educational institutions to develop research-based solutions to improve the health of individuals and organizations.

19| Aaron Albert: The Emotional Inaccessibility Problem, Giving Language to Feelings & Social Media

Mon, 16 Jan 2023 08:00:00 -0500

Today we interview Aaron Albert, cofounder of Mine'd- a digital community that connects people to emotional wellness experts for daily live
and on-demand coaching in relationships, career, self love, and
more.

Not only do we have an important conversation advocating for mental health but may make you laugh a bit in the process!

Aaron shares his story and sheds a light on the mental health inaccessibility problem. The high cost of therapy and the long wait time to book appointments is just part of the problem. Aaron discusses how most people never learned the language to label their emotions and don't have a community to celebrate what they feel, navigate those emotions and enjoy the ups and downs of life.

This is why Aaron is passionate about social emotional health and giving access to human connection through technology.

17| Amy West, MD: Celebrating Women's Strength and Being Resilient Against Injury

Tue, 13 Dec 2022 06:00:00 -0500

Did you know that out of all the strength and conditioning research that shapes most of the plans and decisions we make as coaches, practitioners and as consumers- that less than 6% of the research is exclusively on women? Women are physiologically, behaviorally and psychologically completely different from men. Our needs must be attended to separately than men. Even though we are seeing more females in sports and in the gym, we are still underrepresented in sports medicine which puts us at risk for injuries and not performing to our maximum potential.

Change begins with the help of people like Amy West, MD, EdM - who we interviewed in today's episode. Dr. Amy West is a Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine Physician who dedicates her career and personal life to celebrating and advocating for the strength of women.

She is currently the team doctor for Hofstra University NCAA Division one and the Crossfit games. Yes you heard me right- she is a doctor who recommends Crossfit. You’ll learn all about why Amy recommends Crossfit for injury prevention in this episode.

16| Mike Shipper: Youth Fitness & Inclusive Sports for Athletes of All Abilities

Tue, 29 Nov 2022 10:00:00 -0500

Studies have shown 81% of children and adolescents between 11–17 are not active enough for optimal health. Scary considering all the health conditions like heart disease, cancer, diabetes and mood disorders that are affecting a rapidly increasing number of lives.

How are kids active? During sports and play! Between 1981 and 1997, detailed time-use studies showed that the time children spent at play declined by 25%. So what are kids doing with their time? And why such a BIG decline?

A big reason is because academic demands at school have escalated, too much time is devoted to preparation for academic testing and children are robbed of the joy of discovery and curiosity that is part of play.

Having community run fitness centers for kids with busy families is needed. Today we are interviewing Mike Shipper who is a youth fitness specialist and owns Empowered Sports and Fitness located in the upper west side of Manhattan.

“We work with special needs athletes and having grown up with special needs myself, this was something that I always had a strong passion for- a strong desire for.” -Mike Shipper

Their motto is EVERYONE GETS TO PLAY- Empowered Sports & Fitness provides inclusive movement opportunities for athletes of all ages and abilities. Whether there is a developmental disability, a delayed social skill, or a physical challenge, their goal is to be active, have fun, and provide a program that takes individual needs into account.

"We focus on sports and fitness. We try and find- from our athletes- what they love, what they like and we turn those interests into games. And once the game comes to life, they forget where they are, what they're doing, why they're doing it. It's no longer work. They're just having a great time." - Mike Shipper

Wed, 15 Jun 2022 07:00:00 -0400

Erwin is Well-Being Expert in the High-Performance World of Sport. He is also Community Curator, Non-Profit Founder, NFT Founder, Mentor, and more. He currently serves at the Team Physical Therapist and Wellness Lead for the New York Knicks. He initiated the team's Mindfulness Program, starting the first-ever In-season Daily Breathwork program in NBA and the first to collaborate with Meditation App Headspace in order for it to be used as part of the team's recovery strategies.

He is the first Filipino, raised and educated in the Philippines, to be hired full-time on a medical staff of any major US sports team. His company KINETIQ (founded in 2013) changed the way sports medicine events were done by bringing an element of personal growth in each of the "Happenings" around the world. His social initiative, #BeyondMedyo (founded in 2014) brought awareness to the importance of mental health in the Philippines and challenges the changing landscape of possible successful industries kids can get into beyond what culture dictates as "normal". And his 501(c)3 non-profit mentorship program, Grasshopper Project (founded in 2018), brings true mentorship possibilities to many in the health, wellness, and performance industries otherwise left without guidance to succeed and helping them become change-makers and thought leaders in the space.

Recently, he has emerged as a WEB3 thought leader & is launching the 1st-ever NFT project powered by GRATITUDE, driven by SOCIAL IMPACT, and good for overall WELL-BEING and introducing the world to a whole new way to GIVE BACK.

He holds Bachelor of Science degree in Physical Therapy from the University of the Philippines-Manila, a Masters of Education in Athletic Training & Sports Medicine from Plymouth State University, and a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree with a concentration in Manual and Manipulative Therapies from the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences. He also completed post-graduate fellowships at Yale University and Regis University, and holds an Advanced Diploma in Coaching (Executive & Leadership) from New York University and a Graduate Certificate in Applied Positive Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania. Erwin has also recently begun his journey to complete his PhD in GRATITUDE at the University of Granada's Faculty of Clinical Medicine and Public Health in Spain.

He begins everyday in GRATITUDE and has found it his duty and responsibility to truly live life zestfully– with the purpose of inspiring young Filipinos (and non-Filipinos) to pursue their dreams, be in service of others, and bring global impact, in whatever field they’re passionate about.

9| Dr. Nick Perugini: What You Gain When You Intentionally Incorporate Stress in Your Life

Wed, 25 May 2022 00:00:00 -0400

"What we do inside the walls of our gym must transfer to outside the walls of the gym and if they do not- it is a massive missed opportunity." - Dr. Nick Perugini, PT, DPT

We know that stress and chaos are coming into our lives no matter what. Our problem is not the stress, but our binary perspective of the stressors we experience. So what can we do about it? If you ask Nick- we want to intentionally put our bodies & minds into stressful situations and choose our hard.

In this episode learn from Nick how stress can be medicine when we learn to leverage it because it is the mental and physical states we experience in that determines the outcome. If we build the capability to manage stress, it can be a SUPERPOWER. How do we learn to leverage stress? By preparation through the proper doing, feeling and application of purposeful movement.

"There is a way to be in pain, to make sense of it and to transform it to create something really special...if we can do that- not just in a rehab or physical standpoint but move that concept into our life- that is going to be a really powerful experience that transcends the gym, transcends training, transcends rehab." - Dr. Nick Perugini

A message love Nick:

"I'm a physical therapist and strength coach operating out of Philadelphia, PA. I'm the Founder of More Than Movement, a physical therapy and training company that specializes in working with people where stopping an activity is not an option. Over the past four years as a Physical Therapist, I've worked with hundreds of athletes at the highest level of sport: baseball, lacrosse, rowing, ultimate frisbee, CrossFit, powerlifting, Olympic lifting. The common denominator in the people I work with is their mindset. This is not just their sport, and they are not coming to me because they are JUST having an issue with movement. It's More Than Movement for them. So, how I approach being their coach or physical therapist, must also be in a way that is More Than Movement." -Dr. Nick Perugini

7| Sam Ciaccia: Leaving the ER to Provide Better Healthcare Through Strength Training

Wed, 27 Apr 2022 00:00:00 -0400

After investing 6 years of her time to earn a Physician Assistant degree, and after working in the ER for 9 years, Samantha Ciaccia LEFT the "traditional" medical field to give more effective medicine...through movement as a strength coach.

Listen to this Move Without Limits episode to gain insight on what one experiences in 9 years of working in a hospital aka a corporate business.

I told them- you don't need to go to an orthopedic surgeon, you don't need to be cut, you need physical therapy instead. I became known as the PA pushing people to physical therapy." -Sam Ciaccia, MS, CSCS

Just wait until you hear Sam's stories in this episode.

Mon, 28 Mar 2022 08:00:00 -0400

We are upset about how taboo women's health is. Women are not men. We all need to be better about having open conversations about women's health.

MALE LISTENERS- if you don't know how to start a conversation with your women client's- you need to listen to this episode, it will help you.

This episode we talk with Adina Rubin. Get ready to laugh and listen to a really honest conversation about fitness, nutrition and women's health.

After driving herself into the ground with years of under-eating, doing way too many HIIT classes and taking hormonal birth control, Adina realized that real food, strength training and stress management were the keys to vibrant and optimal health and she set out on a mission to share that with as many women as possible.

Through her signature program Strength Training for Happy Hormones, Adina uses low rep kettlebell training with a major emphasis on pelvic floor health to make strength as accessible as possible no matter what stage of life you’re in or where you are on your healing journey.

Adina asks important questions around nutrition such as, "Am I giving my body enough resources to do the basic human processes?"

Adina is certified through RKC, is a Prenatal and Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist, and has done tons of continuing education in the functional lab testing space to help her clients optimize their metabolism, gut and hormones.

Lady's- Adina wants you to know that you are stronger than you think you are and a healthy life is possible for you. Listen to learn more.

2| Lance Parker: Cardio Metabolic Testing & How to Reach Your Goals Faster

Tue, 15 Mar 2022 22:00:00 -0400

Rehab, training and performance have more similarities than you may think. They are all on the same sliding scale. For most of rehab, if you don't have a plan then you can't get your client back to doing what they want to do- Performance is just the highest pinnacle. You need to know how to manage the specifics of your training and bridge the gap.

On today's episode we have Lance Parker. Lance is a former professional soccer player, Founder of Parker Peak Performance and one of the Founding Trainers for Mirror. Lance currently is helping people with cardio metabolic testing and programming. Lance talks about bridging the gap...
Where are you at right now? What do you need to be able to do in the future?

Lance says, "getting data for data's sake is pointless." You need to work with someone who knows how to get the data that is needed, how to interpret it and create a plan or program that not only is specific to you, but realistically specific to you at that time. Lance is all about being as efficient with your time as possible.

Listen to learn how to take a scientific approach to training in order to get results. What Lance calls a "blueprint." What limitations are affecting you to what degree? The blueprint helps to make better training method decisions to efficiently help you achieve your health and performance goals.

If you ask Dr. Ryan Chow, like we do in this episode, it is one of the most valuable and helpful careers contributing to the health and quality of life of people in society today. Fitness training helps people rebuild confidence, stay active, let off steam, get out of pain and prepare for something that is meaningful to them.

Ryan is a physical therapist and founder of Reload Physical Therapy & Fitness in NYC. Ryan made a huge shift in his career from the "typical" physical therapist POV, transactional relationships, unnecessary medical jargon, imaging and over medicalizing to EMPOWERING people through LISTENING to a person's story, stress testing them, collaborating and creating community. Ryan considers- How can we take action to change the things that people can't do to what they can do?

"See what a person has. See what they need and link the gap between what they have and what they need" - Dr. Ryan Chow.

Ryan founded Reload to help people in the way they need it the most. Practitioners shouldn't have to jump through hoops to help people. Learn how to provide great outcomes for people as a practitioner in this episode.

You will also learn what we expect for the future of human centered healthcare at Reload. Listen to find out what we're fighting for, why we care and how you can be involved.

Meet Your Hosts Mal and Gary!

Wed, 02 Mar 2022 00:00:00 -0500

Introducing Move Without Limits Podcast! Meet Reload Physical Therapy & Fitness coaches and your hosts Mallory Reilly OTR/L, CPT and Gary Wang, PT, DPT.

Our Mission at Reload is to get you active so you can participate in the activities that you love. The activities that help shape your identity, your quality of life and the healthy person you strive to be.

This podcast will inspire you to get active through education and personal stories. Every week we will be interviewing the world's leading coaches, doctors, movement therapists, behavior change specialists (and more!) of our community.

We care because what most of the world is doing in healthcare IS NOT WORKING and we all need to help each other change for the better. People are getting older, younger and dying. Heart disease, cancer, brain disorders, obesity- are all on the rise. For years research has shown us how essential movement and strength are to combatting these diseases and conditions yet most people are STILL living sedentary lifestyles and there are more barriers in our healthcare system than access. It doesn’t have to be that way. Let us show you how.

Please share this podcast with your loved ones and spread the good word. If you like what you hear, we would be so grateful if you could leave us a review.
