Great post in our discussion forum concerning a patient who presents with one dysfunctional painful pattern (DP) but the rest are all significantly dysfunctional and non-painful(DN). So where to start? In this case I want to demonstrate how using Charlie Weingroff's 'one shot - one kill' model can get us to the answer quite quickly....keep reading

In this week's episode I ask Gray about the relationship of the deep squat to success in golf. Two very different movements on the surface, but both requiring maximum mobility and high levels of motor control to be successful. Gray gives a great explanation of the relationship between the two, and also gives some great ideas on how you can have the 'movement' conversation with your athletes and clients....keep reading

This was quite an interesting article so I thought I would make it available as a download. I would love to hear what others thought about it in the forum. Figure this one could get some good discussion going....keep reading

David has been good enough to put write up his notes from the 2009 Movement Dysfunction course in Edinburgh to share with the rest of us. So here is Day 1 of the conference, with days 2 and 3 to come....keep reading

Robert Panariello PT
This was a response posted by Robert Panariello (one of our experts) to a question in the discussion forum on returning to heavy lifting following a disc herniation. It was a good enough answer that I wanted to post it here as well to make sure everyone had a chance to read it. This is something I get asked all the time as I am sure many of you do too....keep reading

I've got all these things going through my head during the day that I should at some point write down and make them official. When it comes to working on jumping skills with athletes post-ACL, here is what I'm thinking. A.k.a. my prerequisites to advancing through their rehab program....keep reading

In this week's audio commentary we discuss a couple clients and case studies in which neural testing was positive and symptoms were present distally....keep reading

I recently interviewed Michael Mullen about treating dancers and one of the things he really looks at is tibial rotation and how it can affect the mechanics at the knee. Michael sent me some videos to help give a better explanation of some topics from the interview, just about the same time I shot my video on tibial internal rotation. Anyway, it was pretty good timing so I'm going to combine the videos and give you two very similar, but slightly different, ways to assess tibial rotation in the open chain....keep reading

Charlie Weingroff will be in Toronto this weekend (Nov. 2-4) presenting his Training = Rehab, Rehab = Training seminar series. Chris Nentarz and I will be assisting so it should be an absolute blast (as well as a great learning experience)! There are still a few spots left so Charlie and Glen Harris from MSK+ (a.k.a. the host) are offering a special last minute rate to SportsRehabExpert.com members. Check that out here.....keep reading

Want to improve your squat without your knees and hips always feeling so beat down?...keep reading

I was recently out in Boston for a Graston Technique M2 Training and did an 'in-service' at Jackie Shakar's clinic (Central Mass. PT). During one of our case studies Jackie demonstrated one of her shoulder mobilization techniques with movement in quadruped. This is one I have not done previously but makes total sense and looking forward to trying it out. The video is a bit impromptu and the sound not so great but the technique is awesome....keep reading

Sue Falsone PT, is the Director of Performance Physical Therapy at Athletes' Performance and Core Performance, and is a major league physical therapist with the Los Angeles Dodgers. In this interview Sue discusses the AP philosophy and 'performance' physical therapy, shoulder rehab and the importance of the kinetic chain, and injury prevention and rehab in Major League Baseball....keep reading

This is going to be a 5 part video series about dynamic deceleration of an athlete. Too often I feel that when people think about deceleration training, their mind goes to one exercise. This exercise tends to be a drop step off a plyo box and landing in a bilateral squat or unilateral squat position trying to control a valgus collapse at the knee....keep reading

Michael Leonardi NASM-CPT
In this webinar, Michael introduces the 3 main principles of Redcord Suspension Exercise and how they can be used together to enhance the SensoriMotor system. Suspension Exercise has been proven to translate into gains in strength, motor control, range of motion and specificity in sport. Theories as to why this is true will be explored with supporting literature....keep reading

This mobilization and taping technique comes in handy with lifters having hard time catching the bar with the wrist extended, as well as those having pain during weight bearing activities with the wrist extended....keep reading

One of my first buyers for The EDGE Tool way back when it was called Fascialator recently asked a great question. "What are some MDT based resets for loss of cervical flexion"? I had to email him back asking, "How much loss?" The reply, as I expected was, "Minimal." So this was a perfect common example! Common things happen commonly, most of the time, when you test cervical flexion either actively or as part of a system like the SFMA, you get nearly full motion....keep reading

Personally I think that the half kneeling exercises are some of the best correctives out there, and apparently Mike Robertson agrees. Mike is one of my favorite writers as he does such a great job of breaking things down and simplifying them. In this article he breaks down the half kneeling position, how to correct common mistakes, and how to utilize this position to maximize training for stability....keep reading

In Part I we covered some pre-training measures you can use to get your glutes fired up and ready to go. Now it's time to get to work on strengthening them. Before we discuss the exercises, let's go over four regulations. If you violate these four ground rules, we'll kick your ass (no pun intended)....keep reading
