My mistakes in manual therapy To young clinicians in sports medicine; the biggest mistake I have made was associating pain and discomfort induced with manual therapy success. As with anything else, there are times and need for ‘discomfort’ while flushing techniques and relaxation techniques also are important within manual therapy. 🔑 you can always add pressure/force into tissue later…but you can’t take that force back and athletes may not be willing to work with you if you only function at one level. #athletictraining #athletictherapy #athleticperformance #athleticmedicine #strengthandconditioning #sportsperformance #sportsmedicine #sportschiropractic #basketball #basketballperformance #Sportsscience

Spine Rehab As clinicians, we should be able to gather the best or most pertinent points from schools of thought and adapt them to your setting. ELDOA is a great method to start after discogenic injuries…but can get a little static. Playing around with using the kettlebell sit up to keep the long sitting position (and decompression) while adding more requirements to the spine. #athletictraining #athletictherapy #athleticperformance #athleticmedicine #strengthandconditioning #sportsperformance #sportsmedicine #sportschiropractic #basketball #basketballperformance #sportscience

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.

I’ve been guiding my student through knee rehabilitation exercises after an ACL injury, helping them progress through each stage with proper protocols and structured training. The goal is to ensure they recover well and return to competition and sports. Sports therapy and rehabilitation play a crucial role in helping injured athletes recover efficiently while also reducing the risk of re-injury #injuries #sports #coach #rehabilitation #movmenttherapy #ACLinjury

Entrepreneur, leader, business owner, and physical therapist that delivers quality services in a professional, ethical, and compassionate manner.
Physical Therapy Guide to Golfer's Elbow (Medial Epicondylitis) Medial epicondylitis is commonly called golfer's elbow or thrower's elbow. It is a condition that develops when the tendons on the inside of the forearm become irritated, inflamed, and painful. Repetitive use of the hand, wrist, forearm, and elbow causes golfer's elbow. This condition often gets diagnosed in people who repeatedly swing a golf club or other activities that require gripping, twisting, or throwing. Using a computer or performing yard work also can cause the condition. Athletes who perform overhead motions, carpenters, and plumbers are most at risk. Golfer's elbow is most common in men over the age of 35. It is less common than tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis). A physical therapist can help decrease the pain caused by medial epicondylitis and improve the affected elbow's motion, strength, and function. https://lnkd.in/g7Kve-Q9 #spectrumtherapy #physicaltherapy #physicaltherapyelpaso #elpasotexas #qualitymatters #7locations
