Podcast Ep. 12: Movement Resilience with Matt Ibrahim

Welcome back for Episode 12 of the Fitness Pollenator Podcast. On this episode, I have on my first repeat guest, Matt Ibrahim. I had Matt about a year ago for Episode 4. If you haven’t listened to that one yet, do it! Matt is the founder of Movement Resilience (formerly Mobility 101), which has a specific mission of helping people build resilient movement and resilient strength to continue doing what they love most: move. He's a part of the sports medicine team at Boston Physical Therapy & Wellness, where he serves as a strength & conditioning coach and physio rehab coach. This July, he will receive his license in massage therapy.  He's also a provider for ClinicalAthlete through founder, Quinn Henoch, which is a team of healthcare professionals bridging the gap from rehab to performance for athletes. Over the course of the episode, we talk shop on the following points: Matt's rebrand from Mobility 101 to Movement Resilience Finishing up massage school, along with how he plans to use his new skills The importance of speaking to the client and not other fitness professionals The screening process and what happens if there's pain "Corrective exercise" Breathing (see this video) And more! We also addressed several questions from the audience, including The best way to gain flexibility after being stuck in bed for a year and being a new amputee Big spoon, little spoon, and movement variability Beer and curls (this discussion point was a little flat, as neither of us are heavy drinkers) Listen to the entire episode on iTunes or click here: https://googledrive.com/host/0BweoQIuhXZAqcVpYLWRPVWJiOUU/ep12mattibrahim.mp3 For more from Matt and Movement Resilience, head over to his website, movementresilience.com, and like him on social media: Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | YouTube
