Brian has worked with many clients pre and post knee replacement surgery and I wanted to hear what his approach is, when personal training and Pilates are most useful and how to optimize recovery. This episode lays out general guidelines and time frames along with specific exercise examples and drills to help clients return to their activities with confidence.

Working with people in pain is challenging for both instructors and clients. Taking advice from new advances in the science of pain, Brian and Nora discuss ways to redirect clients away from their focus on pain, tips for helping them distinguish pain from discomfort and ways to help them create positive movement experiences. As instructors these clients can challenge us to remain optimistic and positive and we also include a few tips for helping you manage your own state when working with difficult clients.Moving Conversation Socials Email: [email protected]: @movingconvosFB: Moving ConversationsYoutube: @BrianRicheyBrianIG: @fit4lifedcFB: https://www.facebook.com/brianrichey/NoraIG: nora.s.john.7FB: https://www.facebook.com/nora.s.john.7 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/moving-conversations/id1669504158?i=1000650467168 https://open.spotify.com/show/6cmgm8T0ZiC5wu6yhXrw9g#movingconversations
Join us today as we discuss new research on an effective program for healing tendinitis. Whether you’re dealing with tendinitis in the ankle, knee, shoulder, elbow or other areas, this research from Dr. Keith Baar out of UC Davis uses low load isometrics to rebuild and remodel tendons for optimum strength and resilience. His approach is immediately applicable in the Pilates or personal training environment and has broader applications for how we train.

In this episode we explore sitting, sleeping, working and driving to uncover common sources of discomfort in clients’ daily activities. When a client spends most of their day in a less than ideal ergonomic setting, it can have profound and long lasting effects on their posture and tension patterns. Brian and Nora encourage you to uncover your clients’ daily environments and discuss simple ways to modify chairs, beds, workstations and cars to make them more comfortable. This one is filled with practical solutions for common problems!Moving Conversation Socials Email: [email protected]: @movingconvosFB: Moving ConversationsYoutube: @BrianRicheyBrianIG: @fit4lifedcFB: https://www.facebook.com/brianrichey/NoraIG: nora.s.john.7FB: https://www.facebook.com/nora.s.john.7 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/moving-conversations/id1669504158?i=1000650467168 https://open.spotify.com/show/6cmgm8T0ZiC5wu6yhXrw9g#movingconversations
This is essentially a love letter to how anatomy and kinesiology form the foundation of our movement practice and philosophy. Understanding the body in motion makes problem solving more fun and keeps our curiosity alive. Building an internal model of the relationships between joints, muscles, connective tissue and the nervous system creates a toolbox for change. We hope to inspire you to stay curious and keep diving into the amazing world of movement science for inspiration and insight.Moving Conversation Socials Email: [email protected]: @movingconvosFB: Moving ConversationsYoutube: @BrianRicheyBrianIG: @fit4lifedcFB: https://www.facebook.com/brianrichey/NoraIG: nora.s.john.7FB: https://www.facebook.com/nora.s.john.7 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/moving-conversations/id1669504158?i=1000650467168 https://open.spotify.com/show/6cmgm8T0ZiC5wu6yhXrw9g#movingconversations
