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. . . .

Andy Barker Andy sent over this book review along with his recommendation. Reminds me a bit of 'Outliers' by Malcom Gladwell which was a great book as well. Anyway, with Christmas around the corner, if you need a good book to read then check out How Champions are Made . . .

Is the Present Day Athlete Prepared for the Initiation of Athletic Performance Enhancement Training?
Robert Panariello MS, PT, ATC, CSCS The lack of early age athletic "preparation" as well as the common occurrence of youth athletic "sports specialization" is presently an all too common theme in the United States. The dream of a college scholarship and perhaps an ensuing professional payday appears to often be the incentive for such early sport specialization. However, too early a sport specialization does have its consequences. An example of such a consequence is the 12-year-old baseball pitcher whom I recently rehabilitated after arthroscopic elbow surgery. According to his father "this young man is going to be the next Roger Clemens". Obviously the father did not realize that throughout Roger Clemens athletic career, this Hall of Fame caliber pitcher never had elbow surgery. My time and experiences with this young athlete was my incentive to write this article. . . .

Audio Interview with Robert Panariello
In this interview Rob discusses some business considerations for those thinking about starting up a private practice. Rob has been a PT for 30 years and a strength and conditioning specialist the last 25, in addition to being a founding partner in a large practice with multiple clinics throughout New York City so he's pretty much seen it all. He shares his thoughts on everything from cash based vs. insurance based business, adding sports performance, do you need an EMR?, possible pitfalls, and some other great advice. . . .

Principles of Neuromuscular Rehabilitation
David O'Sullivan In the last few years I have changed the way in which I design and deliver rehabilitation programs and this article is to help me clarify my thoughts on paper if nothing else. I went through the first stint in professional sport thinking if I could get people activating muscles with exercises such as band walks and glute bridges that this would solve everything as had been portrayed through the internet waves by some. I quickly learned that this was not enough and then almost went the other way where I was getting people pain free just from soft tissue work alone without having to rely heavily on rehabilitation. . . .

The Momentum of Perspective
Gray Cook Momentum is the driving force behind our professional passions. It's a force that gives us confidence and reminds us not settle for being average. At its best, it represents the quality great professionals display as they seek the truth and use its lessons to help others. At its worst, it represents unsubstantiated dogma or blind allegiance to a doctrine that does not represent a compressive approach. . . .

Functional Movement Systems Interview with Gray Cook - Part I
In Part I of my interview with Gray, he discusses who "Functional Movement Systems" is for, what he's hoping to accomplish with this project (it did take 3 years to put this all together!), and just some general thoughts about the rehab profession and strength and conditioning. I'll have more to come as Gray will cover a few of the book chapters and some topics that are 'new' or maybe we've heard before but didn't realize the importance initially. . . .

The Body Armor Program - Lebanon Valley College
Michael Lehr The Body Armor Program was developed at Lebanon Valley College by Michael Lehr, basically incorporating the FMS and Y Balance Test into the athletic programs. This short write up is from the NCAA magazine earlier this year. I though it was a great idea, and certainly something other members on here could realistically look at doing. The article is short on specifics, but maybe I can get Mike on here sometime to go into more detail. . . .

Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization as the Missing Link?
This was so good I had to post it here for everyone to read. Charlie Weingroff sent this to me and some others today concerning his take on DNS and it's application to sports performance and athletics. Charlie didn't give it an official title but I think it's the way some of us are looking at it. . . .

Athletes' Performance - Rehab Specialist Mentorship Program
Joe Heiler It's 50 degrees in Michigan and 88 in Arizona. Don't need much more of an reason to want to come back to the Phoenix area this time of year, and I get to take in the AP Rehab Specialist Mentorship Program over the next five days.! I'm going to be giving a review of each day's activities as I go along here. The emphasis of this program is on bridging the gap between rehab and sports performance so should be some great information coming out of this. . . .

Lumbar Spine Injuries: Rehab and Training Considerations for Athletes
Joe Heiler PT, CSCS This is the webinar I did for Anthony on Strength and Conditioning Webinars.com last week. I've altered it a bit to fit this site better, but what I really wanted to look at more than anything were the commonalities between Janda, Sahrmann, McGill, the SFMA, and so on. Each have somewhat of a unique approach to treating back pain but they are more alike than dislike when it comes right down to it. . . .

Perform Better Summit Long Beach
Kevin Fay DPT, CSCS As you can imagine, it was a fantastic 3 day weekend of networking, interacting and learning at the Perform Better Functional Training Summit in Long Beach. Chris Poirier and his Perform Better staff put on a first class workshop and the presenters were top notch. If there is such a thing as an "Educational Hangover", I believe I had it last week. Nevertheless, I agree with Joe that it's good to share some knowledge with the others on this site whenever possible following attendance at a workshop/conference. . . .

Core strength: A new model for injury prediction and prevention
Journal of Occupational Medicine and Toxicology a.k.a. the Fire Fighter Study - business development has been a topic of conversation lately, especially how to get one's name out there to build a patient/client base. Fire fighters and police are two groups to go to with the outcomes from this study, and a plan in place to replicate it with their departments. The researchers basically broke down injury rates and lost hours from the previous year, screened each fire fighter using the Functional Movement Screen, implemented the corrective programs, and then analyzed injury rates the following year. Needless to say there was a dramatic reduction so great information to have in your arsenal. When it comes to saving money and keeping people on the job, they will listen. . . .
