Kyler is a sports rehab chiropractor who specializes in sports injury pre and post-surgical rehabilitation and bridging the gap from rehab to performance. He is the co-founder, along with myself, of 10 Squared, an Austin-based private member training program focused on building and maintaining exceptional muscle capacities for the marginal decade. Originally, this was a conversation that we recorded just for the 10 Squared audience. But once it got out there and we saw how much the clients there appreciated it, we decided to repurpose it as a podcast for all of you. In this episode, we discuss the principles behind injury prevention, recovery, and performance optimization, including how small movement dynamics can lead to chronic issues.
Discuss a framework for assessing and treating individuals, heightening the importance of understanding from between movement patterns, functional asymmetries, and personalized rehab approaches. Talk about some specific case studies, including Kyler's work with professional athletes and others to demonstrate the benefits of individualized strategies. the role of fear in movement and rehabilitation and how overcoming mental barriers is just as crucial as physical recovery, actionable strategies for you to assess your own movement patterns and implement proactive training techniques to build strength and longevity. Now, in addition to this conversation, Kyler also filmed a short series of videos in the gym demonstrating exercises for common issues like lower back, neck, shoulder, and knee pain. These are designed to help you put some of these concepts from today's episode into action. The videos are only available to subscribers and can be found on the show notes page for this episode.
So without further delay, please enjoy my conversation with Kyler Brown. Kyler, wonderful to have you. Yeah, thanks for having me. I want to kind of give folks a little bit of a sense of what you and I came up with a few years ago in the throes of my recovery from shoulder surgery and why that gave us this idea to take two things that seemed quite unrelated at the time, my recovery from an injury, coupled with this idea that I'd been
How does Kyler Brown contribute to injury recovery?
marinating around this idea of a centenary decathlon in a marginal decade and why we decided to kind of put the best ideas or the themes of these together. So how does that sound? Sounds great. All right. So let's see, you and I met four years ago as soon as I moved to Austin. I don't even remember what we worked on because I think it was just like preventative stuff.
You really wanted me to come over, I think initially just doing some DNS stuff, like some routine maintenance things. And somewhere around the second or third visit, I was like, what's going on with this shoulder? And that kicked off this whole conversation because in my world, this idea of just doing one technique or providing one service isn't really a complete approach.
That's right. You're right. We were probably a couple months in maybe, and it was clear that I was nursing this bad shoulder. Um, And I knew what was going on because I had torn the labrum before. The diagnosis, I remember, was actually made in 2009. I had my first arthrogram in 2009.
