Pregnancy
Bumping all the past requests for discussing pregnancy related questions. As a student currently in a clinical rotation at a specialty pelvic health physical therapy clinic, I have learned so much about pregnancy and postpartum protocols for activity and pain management, and I wish every current and future momma had this information. In addition, the placenta is an interesting component to the relationship between mom and baby in that gestational period.
Online therapy - evidence-based studies, efficacy, safety, ethics etc
Online platforms like BetterHelp and Talkspace are increasingly aggressive in advertising their services, including on your own show. I am curious to know whether there is any science backing them up. There is plenty of evidence on the efficacy of in-person therapy, but I was always under the impression that a lot hinges on the personal patient - therapist relationship. I am sceptical as to whether these platforms actually succeed in delivering the same results as in-person therapy. If possible, please elaborate on the difference between video therapy and text therapy (the latter is increasingly common and just plain weird to me). Can you please delve into the science? Thanks!
The McGill Big 3 For Core Stability
I've finished watching some of your back and core stability videos. However, when I do the Curl-Up sets I feel like my neck is doing too much work. I don't feel pain but I feel like I cannot engage my abs properly. Even when I think I got it I still feel like the neck is doing too much and by that I mean it gets tired before my abs do. Any tips? I don't experience pain during or after the exercises.
