The Get-Fixed Podcast

Dr. Jenny Neiters is the team acupuncturist of the San Francisco 49ers and St Mary's College Rugby team on top of having a private practice in Alameda, CA. She is also a talented teacher and presenter who has lectured internationally on cutting edge sports acupuncture treatments. Jenny is one of my closest friends and colleagues within the Sports Acupuncture world. Every time we speak I get some tangible gems that help my practice immediately. This conversation was no exception.

Brian Lau is an Acupuncture Physician and on the faculty of the Sports Medicine Acupuncture Certification program. He has an extensive background in Qigong, Structural Integration, and many other therapeutic and movement-based therapies. His knowledge of anatomy and how it interfaces with other traditions, including Chinese medicine meridian theory and fascial systems is truly inspiring. There's so much more to learn from Brian but this was a good one!

Montana Mitchell is a yoga instructor and a master yoga teacher who leads trainings for yoga instructors and yoga retreats. In this episode we talk about the benefits and potential inefficencies within yoga. We talk a lot about cues and how to be better as a movement professional.

David May is a yoga instructor, crossfit coach, and mindset coach at Mecka Fitness in Pittsburgh, PA. I wanted to talk to David because it's rare you see a coach with a strong background in both yoga and crossfit. He clearly understands the importance of both strength and mobility and not taking a dogmatic approach to fitness. We start the episode commenting on my thoughts I shared about the shoulder episode 35 and cover a lot of ground after that.

In this episode, I run through a few thoughts I have on shoulder mechanics, injuries, and when we may be over coaching people. I talk about the upper traps and how they may be misunderstood.
