In this episode, Spencer Blackman explains how he uses symbolic sensations to retrain the brain's interpretation of pain signals.

He explains how the lower primitive parts of our brain can get stuck in threat response loops after injuries, keeping muscles tense and nerves firing years after tissues have healed. We discuss how finding the symbolic sensation of what the brain is trying to do in that area, like "pulling away" or "squishing", and solving for that can abruptly shift chronic pain patterns. Spencer shares how this method can provide lasting pain relief by updating the brain's conceptual map and response to those signals.

Dr. Stanley Paris has been a pioneering force in the physical therapy profession.

In this episode, powered by ATI Physical Therapy, he shares stories from his career including founding the Orthopaedic Academy, being the first physio at the 1960 Olympics, and pushing for specialization in PT.

We discuss building a strong foundation for the profession, avoiding burnout, and why he's bullish on the future of PT as musculoskeletal experts.
