Sport Scientist/ Assistant Strength and Conditioning Coach
Joint manipulation in sports medicine 🏀 While I am not a big proponent of joint manipulation as a modality, there is certainly a place for it within sports medicine. One of the things I learned from Dan McClure was the concept of ‘small bones’. This concept applies to the hands and feet where many bones and joints must move without restriction for optimal function. In basketball, I have seen primarily lack of medial rotation of the cuboid which may lead to arch pain due to the excessive lateral rotation and ‘drop’. 🔑 proper motion of the whole foot allows for good compression/expansion mechanisms when running and jumping. This is my version of the cuboid whip.

Great point and contetn per usual Dr. Serrano. In chiropractic college it was taught to us that acute ankle inversion fracture patients could be applied with EMT (ie. to talocrural joint and /or subtalar joint) while still in acute stage. Thoughts on this?
