Episodes

A couple of episodes ago, we flipped the script a little bit with Zak interviewing Quinn on his background and life journey. On this show, Quinn returns the favor, and we get to hear all about Zak’s background and his journey through school, founding The Level Up Initiative, and what’s led to the person/husband/provider he is today.

On this show, we discuss a couple of topics that often give providers a lot of friction – what exactly is “autoregulation” and how does RPE fit? Also, the big bad wolf of “prognosis”. How do we communicate timelines and expectations with our clients in a confident and accurate way, without actually knowing how long things will take exactly? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered in this episode. We hope you enjoy! Free Autoregulation Lecture From CA Provider Certification Clinical Athlete Provider C...

On this show, the script gets flipped a little, and Zak interviews Quinn all about his journey from a young lad to what’s led him to where he is today with his Physical Therapy practice and Clinical Athlete!

Quinn and Zak discuss some themes that have popped up while graduating our newest cohort of Clinical Athlete Providers – (1) is learning about complexity all that clinically relevant? And (2) building a robust process for exercise prescription is great in theory, but how does one evolve, modify, and apply those principles in a busy setting? Well don’t worry, because in this show, we answer those questions and we solve all of your problems (probably not, but we try!). We hope you enjoy! Paper on ...
