Core Competencies
Carson Boddicker In the world of strength and conditioning, core competency is a specific factor that is central to the way athletes function and are trained. Simply put, these core competencies are to be developed first and foremost in athletes of any discipline before even beginning to look to other movements and training interventions. To be termed core competencies, they must also provide benefit to the athlete that few other methods are capable of replicating and also provide benefits for a number of movement dysfunctions.

Product Review: Secrets of Primate Patterns
Carson Boddicker In the past several months it seems that the concept of primitive patterns and developmental kinesiology has taken hold in both the performance and rehabilitation communities. This popularity can be linked to the distribution of the Prague School's (and Dr. Kolar's) ideas and theories regarding antagonist co-activation, which has come about through extensive study of developmental kinesiology and includes reflexive creeping and turning over as well as rolling patterns, and, as many members of Sports Rehab Expert can also appreciate, Gray Cook and his FMS and SFMA are strongly influenced by the neuro-developmental sequence. . . .

A growing number of progressive health care providers are giving them relief by using Class IV high power deep tissue laser therapy.
