In this podcast episode, Trevor is joined by podcast producer and editor, Cassidy Chavez. Trevor talks to us about several movement principles he sees in his profession and shares his critiques with Cassidy who works as a pilates instructor. Trevor Field MPT answers the following questions: 

• Does muscle activation = muscle strengthening? Researchers widely agree the major muscle stimulus for muscle strengthening is mechanical load, NOT activation. (but you can't activate an inhibited muscle, Right?)
• Posture? Does it cause LOW BACK PAIN? Does it matter does it correlate with muscle flexibility and strength
• Do posture devices actually help?
• Does having a neutral pelvis matter?
• Why stressed-out people cant grow their glute
• And so much more...

Hey Form and Functioners this episode is an extraordinary one that I know you are going to love especially if you are a golfer, know a golfer, or have ever thought about picking up the sport. For this episode, we have the privilege of being joined by business owner, author, and golf physical therapist Jake Berman. Dr. Jake Berman started out as a Physical Therapist, opening Berman Physical Therapy in 2015, and started specializing in helping golfers with back pain. Over the years Dr. Berman started to see a correlation between strength and mobility of specific muscles and joints and how that directly related to reported improvements in distance and consistency, specifically with the driver!

In our conversation, we talk about some of the more common injuries you see in golfers, when NOT to get golf lessons, why you get what you pay for in physical therapy, and so much more. Hope you like it!
