Scientific studies regarding the use of belts for athletic endeavours is scarce. Much more evidence and insight exists for the use of belts in occupational settings. The relevant information from occupational usage is discussed in this article and is blended with the limited work on athletic/performance use. I will also conclude with my own opinion. The intention of this article is to assist the reader in making their own decisions on whether or not to wear a belt and to suggest guidelines for their prescription and use....keep reading

Kevin sent me some great videos of what he is doing with his hockey players. Some nice variations of hip flexor/adductor work to prevent sports hernia, single leg strength training, and speed and power work. Kevin is a hockey guy through and through but you can easily take his work in hockey and find application to other sports as well. He included his training program for goalies as well....keep reading

I love bottoms-up kettlebell carrying variations for teaching scapular control and getting reflexive rotator cuff recruitment. Sometimes, though, folks won't feel these drills in the right positions. With that said, check out today's video to learn how you can usually quickly and easily shift the stress to the right spots in the shoulder girdle:...keep reading

As most of you know I'm a big fan of Kettlebell Carries so thought I'd feature one of less common versions this week. The front carry (holding the KB like doing a goblet squat) is a fantastic way to work on postural alignment plus get more reflex activation of a number of muscles that will stabilize the trunk and pelvis......keep reading

I've had a few lower limb injuries recently so have being using a fair bit of occlusion training with some of my athletes. I generally block occlusion work into small blocks, up to three sessions weekly for a maximum of two weeks, giving at least two weeks in between cycles. I've had some really good gains recently, particularly in regards to muscle hypertrophy and quad girth....keep reading

We have all been in some situation or another where a patient has come through the door doubled over in severe pain from an acute flare up of a disc and/or nerve. There is no way the Patient is able to perform an SFMA or any other type of evaluation and rather than having the patient lie on the bed and attempt to release hypertonic/protective muscle tension for an hour and the patient gets up with little to no relief or sometimes worse, I have found this routine to be very useful and productive not only for the length of the session but also empowering the patient and avoiding irritating or worsening the symptoms....keep reading

My kids have been bugging me since I started this site to get them on here so the exercise of the week is my excuse. It's so much fun watching how kids move and develop not to mention the 'crazy' things they do in the name of fun. Crazy looking to most of us adults but purposeful for development, proprioception, building stronger bones, etc. Check out the bonus video this week to see what my little hellions and they're buddies have come up with....keep reading

This weeks clubhouse chat comes from a couple recent cases in the clinic of athletes experiencing pain while squatting. A hypermobile lifter with back pain during anterior loaded squatting movements. Then a proximal glute-hamstring strain with a squat....keep reading

Recently I have had a string of clients present with a "snapping hip", while most people do not specifically search out treatment for this. It tends to be a symptom or a common finding that clients presents with....keep reading

Restoring passive and active hip extension is critical in gait and execution of optimal movement patterns, not to mention reducing LBP. Utilizing electro-acupuncture to restore optimal neuromotor behaviour can speed the restoration of the functional loss....keep reading
