Episode 67 - What is Shockwave Therapy?

10/02/22 • 14 min

Form, Function and Flow Lab with Dr. Kate

In this week’s episode of Form, Function, and Flow Lab, I talked about what is shockwave therapy. I am considering putting it in my office for my patients to use because it is a type of therapy that works really well with musculoskeletal issues, specifically chronic-related matters like adhesions and scar tissues.

I see these issues all the time in the office because I don’t just do adjusting as a chiropractor. I’ve done different myofascial work in the office with my patients and I do get great results with my hands and my tools. However, there are still some issues where it will be more helpful to get extra help from shockwave therapy.

In this episode we discuss:

[00:36] Introduction to the topic

[1:43] What is shockwave therapy

[3:51] Patients’ experience with shockwave therapy

[5:07] Shockwave therapy is not invasive

[6:41] Shockwave therapy helps with better blood flow

[7:32] A doctor’s experience with shockwave therapy

[9:34] Shockwave therapy for endometriosis, erectile dysfunction, and other issues

[12:42] Conclusion

Episode 66 - Barrel Chest or Compact Ribcage? Does it Affect Your Breathing?

In this week’s episode of Form, Function, and Flow Lab, I talked about getting that lateral breath in your rib cage. We’ve done a lot of talking on breathing, but today I want you to check your rib cage and see if you have a barrel chest or a compact ribcage. You have to know that having either affects your breathing.

[00:37] Introduction to the topic
[3:13] Intercostal expansion breathing
[4:39] The proper breathing for the newly postpartum or those who are barrel-chested
[6:52] The proper breathing for those who have compact ribcages
[9:32] Not being stuck in being barrel-chested or having a compact ribcage

[12:08] Asymmetry of the rib cage
[12:48] Conclusion

If you have any questions, you can drop it in the comment section or you can send me a message through Facebook or Instagram. I’d be happy to do another podcast about your questions. Also, if you want me to talk about something specific, let me know!

Episode 68 - Do You Have a Diastasis and Not Know It?

In this week’s episode of Form, Function, and Flow Lab, I talked about the in-person workshops we’ve been doing at the office for the past month. One of the workshops is about diastasis recti last weekend.

I wanted to talk about this in this podcast because I have gathered from seeing patients in my office that many people have Diastasis Recti and they do not even know it. They may have struggled for years from low back, and hip pain, and they might have been told that they have a weak core. However, not knowing if you have Diastasis Recti and jumping into core work blindly could lead to more issues.

In this episode we discuss:

[00:35] Introduction to the topic

[4:27] The first thing we did during the Diastasis workshop

[6:17] How asymmetries can affect you

[8:47] What to work on first if you have Diastasis Recti

[11:20] What is the next step for dealing with Diastasis Recti

[15:51] Knowing where your weakness lies to help with Diastasis Recti

[16:54] Conclusion
