Dr. Charlie Weingroff: How to Build Your Health & Fitness Team-Ep. 94
How do you build your health and fitness team?
A Guide to Good Gym Etiquette
On this week’s podcast episode, Rob and Devon discussed good gym etiquette such as how to keep the gym organized and clean; how to work in and share equipment with follow gym users; and how to show respect and share space so that people feel comfortable. Whether you’re new to the gym, a regular, or even an employee/personal trainer at a gym, these are all good tips to ensure that everyone can have a good workout in a great environment.
How to Find the Best Health Help
What path do you go down to find a great doctor, physical therapist, or chiropractor for your client or patient? Sometimes our pains, aches, and mobility issues can be something much more serious and the easiest option is often not the best option. Charlie shares his advice on how crucial it is to seek out different outsources to help treat your patient’s medical issue and who to go to first. One of our listeners recently asked Rob about her hip’s iliade bursitis and Charlie used it as a great example of what he recommends we should do to find the best help.
How to Properly Examine Physical Health
Our guest of the week on the Open Sky Fitness podcast is world-renowned Physical Therapist, Certified Athletic Trainer, and a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, Dr. Charlie Weingroff. We had a super interesting conversation with Charlie about his experience as a physical therapist and his different viewpoints on how to properly examine your mobility and movement for any physical problems.
We talked about different possible sources such as Charlie’s DVD, Training=Rehab, Rehab=Training as an example of how a person can continue training with rehab techniques; the Functional Movement Screening and how to take advantage of the program; and more importantly, how to find the best medical help and create the best team of health and fitness experts.
