injury management

In this episode I sat down with Alyssa Ford, aa Doctor of Physical Therapy, running coach, and strength and conditioning specialist who specializes in working with runners. We discussed Alyssa's remote rehab and performance coaching business, her approach to working with runners, and the importance of individualized care and collaboration in the coach-athlete relationship. Alyssa shares insights on the misconceptions surrounding running and its impact on the body, emphasizing the research that supports the benefits of running for joint health. She also highlights the significance of addressing the mental and emotional aspects of injuries and provides strategies for navigating the challenges of injury recovery. The conversation touches on topics such as pain science, load management, and the role of communication in healthcare. Alyssa also talks about her role as a race director for a race in Montana that supports a non-profit organization called Warrior Transition Outdoors, which helps veterans and their families transition back to civilian life through outdoor experiences.

 It’s detailed, heavy on the technical talk, but fascinating from the perspective of understanding what goes on behind the scenes with a very important department of airport and airline safety.  If you’re a training nerd, you’re gonna love this Episode.  

Brenden and I discuss managing Physical Performance across a diverse range of training abilities, ages, and injury limitations.  He goes into great detail around the construction of this massive program, facility design, program design, program implementation and other details.

I love Brenden's passion for his role and Strength and Conditioning in general, and it's clear that he gives a lot of attention to detail.

Tommy Simsek is a highly qualified and deeply experienced Sports Physiotherapist.  He also completed a Physical Education degree prior to that, as well as a Masters in Physiotherapy.

This guy has dedicated his entire adult working life to the understanding of human performance, injury treatment and injury prevention.  Since 2005 he has been involved with the Sri Lankan National Cricket Team, the Chennai Superkings in the IPL (Indian Premier League) and The New Zealand National Cricket Team.

His work has taken him all over the world, and he has worked with some highly talented athletes.  Given all of this though, his philosophy and approach to managing his athletes is refreshingly simple and common sense.  Sure, he relies on the science to guide him, but there is a healthy amount of gut feel and experience that goes into his decision making.

Clearly it’s working, you don’t get to survive at this level unless you do a very good job of treating your athletes over an extended period of time.

Enjoy the Podcast with Tommy.
