Unreal Results for Physical Therapists and Athletic Trainers

This week on the Unreal Results podcast, its all about understanding (or at least trying to) the nervous system. I’m currently going through my online LTAP level 1 course with a new cohort and thought that making an episode regarding the neuroanatomy and neurophysiology would be helpful for them, but also for you. In this episode, I do a deep dive on the interplay between the central nervous system, autonomic nervous system, and enteric nervous system and their impact on the visceral organs and the immune system. You’ll also hear me talk about neuroception, polyvagal theory, and practical applications for treating the nervous system. This episode is a big one and goes in-depth, so if you have to listen to it a few times, I get it. But I promise it will be worth your time!

Considering the viscera as a source of musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction is a great way to ensure a more true whole body approach to care, however it can be a bit overwhelming on where to start, which is exactly why I created the Visceral Referral Cheat Sheet.

LTAP™ Success In A Clinical Setting

In this week’s episode of the Unreal Results podcast, you’ll hear about how the LTAPTM can be successful in any healthcare/movement setting. In this episode, you’ll mainly hear an interview that I did with an LTAPTM alumnus, Julie Embree, who happens to be a seasoned physical therapist who works in an insurance-based outpatient clinic with 45-minute sessions. You’ll hear how Julie has utilized the LTAPTM framework in her clinical practice to improve outcomes and why she thinks it’s a great framework when time and resources are limited. So if you’re a healthcare or movement provider who wasn’t sure the LTAPTM could work in your current setting, you’ll definitely want to listen to this episode.
