Episode Synopsis

In this episode of The Doc Wishloff Podcast, Dr. Kirsten Wishloff dives deep into the concept of performance care and how it can revolutionize clinical practices. Forget just treating pain at its source—this episode is about understanding the why behind the pain. Whether you’re a practitioner looking to refine your assessment methods or someone struggling with persistent foot, knee, or other lower-body injuries, there’s something here for you.

Dr. Wishloff breaks down her holistic approach to uncovering the root causes of injuries by examining movement patterns, past injuries, and even hormonal and systemic factors. You’ll learn why a movement-focused assessment trumps traditional orthopedic testing, how static positions of key body “containers” (head, ribcage, and pelvis) influence pain, and why hormonal changes (like menopause) can impact recovery.

With real-world examples—from rheumatoid arthritis affecting balance to plantar fasciitis exacerbated by hormonal shifts—this episode provides practical insights for tailoring treatment plans to individual needs. Dr. Wishloff also shares her proven method for identifying pain-causing movement patterns and explains why mobility isn’t always the best first step in rehab.

Whether you're a clinician eager to elevate your practice or someone fascinated by the science of recovery, this episode is packed with valuable takeaways. Plus, don’t miss details on her free four-day workshop on solving foot and knee pain, available below!
