All right, welcome back to the Barbell Medicine Podcast. I'm Dr. Figenbaum joined as always by Dr. Baraki. What's going on Austin?

Hey, how you doing? Good. This episode episode or series of episodes is right in your

wheelhouse I can tell you're super excited that is a devilish grin what we

have to be talking about today so I don't usually preemptively write out like a whole topic outline for these podcasts.

Usually you come up with a few questions you want to ask and we take it from there.

But basically injury management and lifters. It's a topic that you know we get hammered

with questions about this all the time. I hurt this I hurt that or this hurts or

that hurts what do I do and so you know over a long period of time of coaching

lots of coaching experience working with various people and various injuries in

all sorts of different demographics we've kind of developed something of like a

general approach that you can work down

that'll really take care of the vast majority of issues I think that are within the

like the non-surgical realm like if you have an injury that needs surgery like this isn't going to fix it right? But for

non-surgical kind of sports medicine you could think of it kind of deal for lifters. I think this approach works

really well for the vast majority of people that I worked with so I thought we would get it down, get it recorded and then hope people help us out by

spreading it like wildfire.

So that's the idea.

Let's make this thing go viral.

Yes, please share this.

Okay, so the broad topic is injury in a lifter or a client.

First step in management.

What's your first go to?
