  • My favorite podcast!

    This is by far my favorite podcast! The material and guests are superb. It's obvious for every podcast they devote hours preparing for the interview or research on the topic. I have learned so much from these individuals about movement, research, fascia and recovery. I'm extremely grateful for the work they do.

  • Interesting - for a wide variety of training and health topics

    I’m enjoying these discussions after watching lots of their youtube training videos. I am mostly interested in knee injuries but find I’m learning so much about other topics because everything is related.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

252. 5 Popular PT Exercises Made Better w/ Marc Surdyka
Q: What about posture exercises as a category?
The host and guest emphasize that movement throughout the day—especially walking and breaking up long periods of sitting—often provides more benefit than rigid posture routines; when posture work is used, it should be integrated with broader activity and tailored to the individual's daily constraints.
252. 5 Popular PT Exercises Made Better w/ Marc Surdyka
Q: Do you ever prescribe the doorway pec stretch?
Marc describes how doorway stretches can cause more problems than they solve for some individuals, suggesting simpler, more approachable alternatives like foam roller techniques, pulldowns, or loaded mobility exercises that still address pec range and strength without overcomplicating the approach.
252. 5 Popular PT Exercises Made Better w/ Marc Surdyka
Q: What about straight leg raises and their role in rehab?
Marc discusses how straight leg raises can be appropriate early on but have a low ceiling for quad strengthening; over time they behave more like hip flexor exercises and should be replaced or supplemented with movements like leg extensions or targeted quad loading to match the goal.
252. 5 Popular PT Exercises Made Better w/ Marc Surdyka
Q: BOSU ball squats, tell us about it.
The guests note that BOSU squats are popular for their novelty but not necessarily superior for building strength or muscular adaptations compared to flat-ground squats; they argue for direct training of stabilizers when needed and propose safer, more effective alternatives like flat-ground squats or single-leg variations for progression.
252. 5 Popular PT Exercises Made Better w/ Marc Surdyka
Q: Why did you choose bird dogs as the first exercise, and what are the downsides and potential improvements?
Marc explains that bird dogs are controversial with some arguing they're essential for core stability while others see little evidence of superior efficacy for back pain; he emphasizes informing patients about what the exercise actually does, offers progression options like adding load with different levers and alternatives (e.g., Roman chair back extensions), and cautions against fixed, long-term reliance without progression.
