When it comes to recovery, we often throw the kitchen sink at players. Ice baths, compression, massage, foam rolling, the list goes on. But in some instances, certain recovery modalities have a greater effect than others. Conversely, some recovery tools can potentially have a negative effect on adaptation. This has led to the notion of 'recovery periodisation'. But how can we use this approach in practice? Check out my free guide on recovery periodisation in football to find out more: https://lnkd.in/eb6aRZ6C ~~~ I share practical advice that football practitioners can apply into their own practice in a short, free newsletter every Friday at 12:00 GMT.

Some good insights into utilizing recovery strategies during a competitive season. I personally really believe in cold water immersion for 5-10 minutes at 50 degrees Fahrenheit after a match or MD+1. Soft tissue mobilization via foam rolling MD +2/3. Vibration via massage gun MD -2/-1. What kind of strategies do you implement with your athletes?

Great to collaborate with colleagues on this paper / journal as we seek to define an industry and how organizational structures can evolve to deliver function. As always - the sports science model that should be deployed is the one that best suits the organisation needs and the capacities of the individuals within.

Are you a therapist working in sport? Do you see concussions in your athletes? Do you just follow return to play guidelines and hope time solves the problem? Do you do this with other sports injuries? Or do you have a rehab plan for those ? BTW return to play protocols are not rehab plans, they are to make sure that returning to activity does not increase symptoms while waiting for time to fix the problem. If this has got you thinking, hmm actually I don’t rehab the concussion patients I just follow return to play protocols then carry on reading. Still reading? If you want to upskill in your rehab of mTBI / concussion with a full day of practical skills and case studies then keep the 5th September free. I am delivering a one day practical course all about concussion assessment and rehabilitation. The first half of the day is about assessment skills. Are you confident doing VOMS, JPET, vestibular testing? ( or did you google your remind yourself what they mean?) These are key parts of a multimodal assessment. We go through these and much more. The second half is all about clinical application. Once assessed how do you develop robust rehab plans that go beyond following a return to play protocol and hoping that time solves the problem. So if you want to manage concussions like you do every other sports injury, with a robust assessment, objective markers and a rehab plan then come along and join us on the 5th September I’ll even give you a discount if you use this link below and the code NHYBH05
