2012 Teleseminar Interview #3 - Charlie Weingroff and Bill Hartman
Charlie Weingroff and Bill Hartman discussing Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization and the Postural Restoration Institute methodologies.

Considerations in Athletic Performance Enhancement Training: How Much Strength Do Our Athletes Need?
Robert A. Panariello MS, PT, ATC, CSCS Throughout my 30-year career in in the fields of Sports Rehabilitation and Athletic Performance Training, I have spent thousands of hours in conversation with many good friends and mentors in the Strength and Conditioning profession. In a specific conversation that occurred in 2009 with renowned NFL and Hall of Fame Strength Coach Johnny Parker, he expressed his concern upon reading a newspaper article reporting an 800-pound squat performance by a collegiate football player. Coach Parker's concern was the necessity of such a high intensity squat lift as a strength requirement for the game of football and is the risk of such a high intensity squat performance worth the reward? . . .

Manual Technique of the Week: IASTM and Functional Release of the Fibular Head
Erson Religioso III, DPT, MS, MTC, CertMDT, CFC, CSCS, FAAOMPT Having problems restoring a patient's ankle dorsiflexion? The problem may be higher than the talocrural and subtalar joints! The fibular head should glide antero-laterally when performing dorsiflexion whether it's open or closed chain. I had a request on the EDGE Facebook page for this technique. Ask and you shall receive! . . .

What is the Fundamental Human Function?
Craig Liebenson DC Lots of talk on here lately about fundamental levels of function from movement to the development of gait so thought I would squeeze in one more from Dr. Liebenson - 200,000 years ago man controlled the upright posture. Life on earth is billions of years old so this is a recent development and thus phylogenetically fragile. Human ontogenesis is "hard-wired" in our DNA to create this upright posture by 4 years of life. Unfortunately, modern lifestyle conspires with gravity to impair it. . . .

Function?
Gray Cook We should all own a little of the famous Forrest Gump saying Stupid is as Stupid Does. I like that little saying because it keeps me in check. It makes me consider if what I'm doing is consistent with what I believe. We can all use a little dose humility sometimes, and I have a great example for you. We've all spouted out the term function at some point in our careers--the stupid part is in not clearly defining function first. Whether for or against the term, we'd better define it before we champion or bash it. It's our professional responsibility and personally I'm not satisfied with all our inconsistencies. . . .

Webinar - Dynamic Shoulder Stabilization
Paul Gorman PTA, ATC, CSCS, RKC Build a strong, athletic shoulder of "elastic steel." A shoulder of "elastic steel" refers to a shoulder that is as strong and stable as steel and at the same time mobile and flexible like elastic. In other words, the kind of shoulder needed for sports. This cutting edge shoulder stability program incorporates total body movement corrections, kettlebell drills, grip strength, breathing, developmental kinesiology and muscle activation retraining to enhance performance. . . .

Audio Interview with Dr. Thomas Michaud
Dr. Michaud's new book is titled, "Human Locomotion - the Conservative Management of Gait-Related Disorders". I heard some great things about Tom and the new book so wanted to get him on the site to talk more about some of the big topics in the book such as the evolutionary adaptations in our anatomical structure specifically of the foot, lower extremity, and pelvis, differences in structure between sprinters and runners and how that might affect your treatment strategy, barefoot vs shod training and running, pros and cons of stretching, and how an altered gait pattern can affect common dysfunctions at the hip and knee. . . .

Manual Technique of the Week - Graston Technique to the Vastus Lateralis/IT Band interface for Anterior Knee Pain
Joe Heiler PT, CSCS I just took the Graston Technique M2 course which adds movement, stretch, eccentric loading, weight bearing and more to the soft tissue treatment protocols from M1. I have to say it was probably the best soft tissue course I've been too. It's not just about learning protocols for this body part or that, its about learning a 'concept' and then applying that to how you treat patients in the clinic. I love to free lance and see what will ultimately work for me so now that I have the basics down watch out... . . .

Altered Motor Control - Review of Research
Kyle Kiesel PT, PhD, ATC, CSCS This, of course is a complex question, but we have learned that the response to movement following injury is more complex than previously thought. One approach is to look at injury risk factors to, in a sense, we work backwards to help us answer the question. By considering risk factors for injury, we gain a better understanding of what happening in the motor control system after injury. It is clear from the peer reviewed literature that previous injury is by far the most robust factor related to future injury. With this fact in mind, it should make us feel somewhat uncomfortable as rehabilitationists that those with a previous injury, even after completing rehabilitation, are at the greatest risk of subsequent injury. . . .

Allan Phillips The TPI Golf Screen is one of the most valuable tools in the toolbox for any golf, fitness, or medical professional who works with golfers. Not only can the Screen help identify physical limitations that shape a player's swing and contribute to painful movement, it facilitates communication between professionals in various fields of performance enhancement (instruction, fitness, and medical). This team approach is at the core of the TPI game improvement philosophy. . . .
