The physio insights podcast by Runeasi

In this episode of the Physio Insights Podcast, Jimmy sits down with Ben Cormack, sports therapist, educator, and founder of Core Kinetic, to challenge one of the most deeply held assumptions in physio: that faulty movement patterns explain pain.
Ben breaks down what biomechanics actually is as a field of science, why human movement is far more variable than we give it credit for, and why the body's response to load matters just as much as the load itself. They also dig into the role of lifestyle, comorbidities, and social factors in pain. 
Packed with clinical honesty, a dry forest analogy, and a surprising Taylor Swift reference, this is a conversation that will make you rethink how you assess, communicate, and treat.

In this episode of the Physio Insights Podcast, Jimmy sits down with Amanda Olson, pelvic health physical therapist and creator of pelvic health tools for at-home use, to explore one of the most underdiagnosed areas in running rehab: the pelvic floor.

Amanda shares her unexpected path from pediatric neurology to pelvic health, sparked by a personal injury, and why the overlap between pelvic health and running is something every physio needs to understand.
They cover stress urinary incontinence in athletes (more common than you think), running and lifting during pregnancy, the three-month postpartum return-to-run myth, and what to do when your patient just isn't getting better. Amanda also offers practical screening tips for orthopedic physios who may be missing pelvic floor involvement in everyday cases like IT band pain or low back issues.

In this episode of the Physio Insights Podcast, Jimmy sits down with strength and conditioning coach, researcher, and bestselling author Dan Cleather to discuss the philosophy behind his latest book, The Practice of Change. Together, they explore why consistency, not fatigue, is the foundation of long-term progress and why training should be a conversation with your body, not a battle against it.
They discuss the balance between skill and capacity, the value of easy training, wave loading, recovery, and how these principles apply to both performance and rehabilitation. Whether you're a clinician, coach, or athlete, this episode will challenge the way you think about training and lasting improvement.

In this episode of the Physio Insights Podcast, Jimmy sits down with physiotherapist, researcher, and soon-to-be clinic owner Ky Wynne to dig into the science of plyometrics for runners. Ky recently published a research paper on the topic and shares why plyometrics are one of the most underutilized and misunderstood tools in running rehab and performance.

They cover ground contact time, extensive vs. intensive plyometrics, how to progress volume using foot contacts, the role of surface and footwear, and why single-leg work should be the goal for most runners. Whether you're a clinician, coach, or runner, this episode gives you the framework to start using plyometrics smarter, not just harder.

In this episode of Physio Insights, Jimmy sits down with sports chiropractor, running coach, and strength coach Luke Nelson to unpack one of the most frustrating injuries runners face: calf strains.
Luke shares his evidence-based four-phase calf rehab framework, explaining why calf injuries are so prone to recurrence and why simply waiting for pain to disappear isn’t enough. Together, they discuss the common mistakes runners and clinicians make, how to rebuild strength and spring in the calf-Achilles complex, and what a successful return-to-running process should actually look like.
Whether you're a clinician working with runners or an athlete dealing with recurring calf issues, this episode is packed with practical insights you can apply immediately.
