The Peter Attia Drive
#350 ‒ Injury prevention, recovery, and performance optimization for every decade | Kyler Brown, D.C.

I could say the same thing about chiro adjustments as I could dry needling or active release or McConnell taping, like a million tools out there. The really good practitioners have a huge tool belt and they know when to use which one at what time. So just throwing cupping at somebody and hoping their muscles get better, it's insufficient.

In the same way, I would say just adjusting someone over and over, it's not enough. There's more that could be done. And so what I get asked a lot, especially now that I'm older, like all my friends I've accumulated over the years, I didn't account for as I got older, there'd be more questions exponentially because they're all getting sore and hurting.

But what I always tell them is I need someone who's got a bunch of tools in their tool belt. I need someone who's going to literally treat your case as something unique every time. It's not just like everybody here signs up for twice a month. That's a big red flag for me. And I really want everyone always building towards more strength. You have to be adding strength.

That's what makes things stick. That's what optimizes movement. That's what makes people feel empowered and less frail. And it frankly builds more of like a moat around themselves to where if they do step off a curb weird or they sleep weird on a plane, they're less of a triage patient. They're more of just like, I'm a little sore today, but they still work out and the workout helps it.

The most simple terms, absolutely. We say that sometimes about even cortisone injection. Like I don't like people racing to get a cortisone injection, but if you tell someone to strengthen a knee that really hurts when they do a lunge, they're going to look at you like you're a jerk. So at some point we need to do something to get that pain down.

So then we can open that door and run through it and running through it with strengthening and making them stronger.

We get that question a lot because before 10 squared, some of the athletes I would manage who travel a lot, like a couple of my golfers, they would call me and say, my back hurts from the hotel room. And I had the luxury of knowing so much about them and how they moved and what their body looked like. I could take all that and then be like, well, what are the symptoms?

We rule out the scary medical stuff and then we try some exercise. And we were able to get a lot of results for these athletes and they were about to tee off in two hours and compete. So we've taken that model and when we were designing the assessments at 10 Squared, one of the biggest themes was we need enough time to know as much as we can.

A lot of people want it to be faster, but we're like, that initial step needs to be so in-depth that we are certain about all the factors of how you move and where you're strong and things like that. When I have that certainty and I'm not flying blind and someone calls me and says, you know what? My knee's really sore after doing these exercises.

We either hop on a Zoom and just talk real quick, and I can actually test them on Zoom because the exercise is the test. So many people think they need a doctor to do like a Lachman's test and pull on their leg. The story, their profile, and then how they respond to the exercise, that is the test. And so we can program exercises really effectively in a remote way to probe the fence or test it.
