11 AUG 2026 Ā· When and how do you start exercising after an injury or a surgery? Physical therapists and surgeons may provide guidelines but as movement professionals, we still have to figure out what our client can do and how to help them get out of pain and resume their activities. In this episode, we provide practical advice and guidance about timing, managing fear, staying optimistic and designing a progressive movement program for success.

4 AUG 2026 Ā· More and more clients are coming into the studio with information they have found using AI and internet searches. Sometimes the information is accurate and sometimes itās not. This podcast is designed to help both instructors and clients distinguish between reliable from suspect information. Consider the source, consider whether what they are saying makes sense and be aware that you or a client may not have the background to understand the complexities of what a short AI summary provides. Welcome to the future my friends! Letās make it work for us.

14 JUL 2026 Ā· Preparing a client for hip replacement surgery can have a major influence on how well they recover. In this episode we discuss key principles to focus on for clients who are considering hip replacement surgery.

7 JUL 2026 Ā· Following up on our in-depth conversation with Beth Kaplanek in the last episode, Nora and Brian provide more detail on the different kinds of hip replacements and what instructors should be aware when working with clients with posterior, posterior lateral, lateral or anterior surgical approaches. We also talk about what to do when a client comes to you very early in their post surgery journey rather than after a 6 week to 3 month course of physical therapy. This is not an uncommon occurrence and we want to make sure we all stay in our scope as movement professionals during this critical time.
