Dr. Benjamin Fergus, DC of GRIP Approach talks to Dr. Justin Trosclair DC on A Doctor's Perspective PodcastChronic painpatients and athletic injuries can be troublesome so we dive deep into GRIPApproach with Dr. Benjamin Fergus DC. It’s a blend of the popular rehab ideasbut with a pre-post exam to show global functional movement restored and painrelief. His passion to learn more and to help the specific type of patientsthat just weren’t getting better by other doctors and the struggle with alwayshaving to do so much trial and error with different approaches to see whatworks for a patient plus trying to discharge them were the catalyst to startformulating this new GRIP approach to movement and pain relief.Chronic andcomplex pain/disease cases and surprisingly athletes can have similarfunctional deficits in global movements that can create pain, less than optimalperformance and hinder being released from care. GRIP takeslots rehab ideas, breaks them apart, then streamlines them to be easier andmore effective.What are thebenefits to a global motion ie: squat to pick up something or a lunge, comparedto isolating a muscle group on a machine?Dr. Fergushas a huge following in Japan (courtesy of Kaiso) and the approach resonateswith their thoughts on rehab, he goes into why and what that means.Whatmarketing is he doing to grow the GRIP Approach system?Dr. Benjaminexplains how this is a diagnostic system to evaluate a person for rehab and mayend up replacing the McKenzie, SFMA or DNS evals in your office.What’s yourbeef with patient’s perception of persistent pain aka Subjective Variability?For example: it hurt two days ago but today at the doctor’s office it doesn’treally hurt as much.What are your approaches to moving away from subjective pain scores toobjective evaluation regardless of pain?Questions to ask to shift conversation from Pain to Function?What thingsare you having trouble doing?How longhave you had trouble doing them?What haveyou tried to overcome this but failed to work?This approach can come off as a mechanical analysisbut he explains how it’s actually a nervous system challenge.Superficial treatment like IASTM or Pin and Stretchdon’t lead to long term deep structural changes (they do inhibit the discomfortfrom movement and increase range of motion though).What can change deep structures?Chiropractic adjustments of a restricted joint to normalize mechanotransduction Deep compression with cross friction the size of a nickel for 2-10  minutes. (can change extracellular matrix, elastic changes and normalize  cells in the area. Needling techniques (Dr Moz) which can irritate the cells, but in a good way. Should you use a thumb, elbow, Steel Instrument or maybe technology called Shockwave?  Shockwave is acoustic percussive waves that can penetrate deep and shown to make changes. Let’s define reciprocal inhibition, concentric andeccentric motions.Logistically, how much time does aGRIP exam take and what would a typical office visit look like and take timewise?Why do you prefer global movement and lessconcentric type exercises. What does a typical patient encounter look like?  We adjust, do soft tissue and we evaluate with global positions but then we teach at homeexercises that they might do 3-4 times a day.How do you handle the athletic trainers, massage therapists that learn everything that you teach them or paid for them to learn and then they leave in 6 months?

Dr. Fergus has a huge following in Japan (courtesy of Kaiso) and the approach resonates with their thoughts on rehab, he goes into why and what that means. What marketing is he doing to grow the GRIP Approach system? Dr. Benjamin explains how this is a diagnostic system to evaluate a person for rehab and may end up replacing the McKenzie, SFMA or DNS evals in your office. What’s your beef with patient’s perception of persistent pain aka Subjective Variability? For example: it hurt two days ago but today at the doctor’s office it doesn’t really hurt as much. What are your approaches to moving away from subjective pain scores to objective evaluation regardless of pain? Questions to ask to shift conversation from Pain to Function? What things are you having trouble doing?How long have you had trouble doing them?What have you tried to overcome this but failed to work? This approach can come off as a mechanical analysis but he explains how it’s actually a nervous system challenge.
