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....keep reading

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......keep reading

Over the past few years, I've become known as the shoulder guy on the list of T-Nation contributors. Nobody ever really asked why this became an area of interest for me; all they care about is how to recover from impingement, labral tears, bicipital tendonosis, AC joint sprains, and the occasional accidental amputation. (I usually recommend a bottle of whiskey, some duct tape, and a glue gun for that last one.)...keep reading

I really have nothing but good things to say about the GT M1 course I took last weekend. In part because I've been playing around with GuaSha for the better part of the last year and a half so handling the instruments was nothing new. And SportsRehabExpert.com member Jackie Shakar was teaching the course so I know what to expect on that end to. I'm sure the other instructors are great but Jackie is truly passionate about GT, and combines it with her knowledge of the SFMA/FMS to produce some great results. I realize with our small group we probably had some advantages over a 'normal' course when it came to applying the technique and looking for its influence on patterns of movement. So all in all I felt like a got some great information out of the course, and have been seeing some nice results back in the clinic as well....keep reading

Cuboid Syndrome is defined as minor disruption or subluxation of the structural congruity of the calcaneocuboid portion of the mid-tarsal joint (Blakeslee and Morris, 1987). Now, that is quite a wordy definition which essential means the subluxation of the cuboid from its natural position. Whilst you may feel that this condition is rare, it is probably more common than you think, particularly in certain athletic populations....keep reading
