Sports Medicine Series: Knee Pain and The Collapsing Kinetic Chain If you have knee pain and work with a physical therapist, you may be surprised that they focus a lot of attention on your hips. To understand the connection between knee pain and your hips, you must first understand some basic anatomy. When your gluteus medius muscle becomes weak, it allows your thigh to rotate and pull inwards abnormally. This is called a "collapsing kinetic chain." This abnormal positi...on of your thigh can put excessive stress and strain around your knee joint. A collapsing kinetic chain is often cited as an indirect cause of an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury as well as patellar pain. If the individual is running or jumping, their knee can collapses in if the patient has weak gluteal muscles, and the knee buckles in, tearing ligaments and cartilage in the knee.

Sports Medicine Series: Why are core exercises so important? You can think of the core as your foundation. These muscles provide stability to your trunk. They link your upper and lower body and enable you to move in any direction or stand in one spot without losing your balance. ... Core strengthening is a popular trend in health clubs because of the many benefits that result. In addition to stabilizing your balance, a strong core improves your posture; reduces stress and pain in your lower back; and improves athletic performance, such as swinging a golf club. Strengthening usually includes strenuous exercises such as planks, sit-ups, push-ups, and crunches. Equipment such as balance boards, stability balls, and Bosu balls may also be used.

Sports Medicine Series: Tennis Elbow also referred to as Lateral Epicondylitis Tennis Elbow is something we see a lot in sports medicine. It’s often ignored, not treated correctly, and occurs in more of a gradual pattern. Repetitive athletic movements, particularly those performed rapidly and forcefully, increase susceptibility to this injury. While our last post was primarily from a preventative lens, today we will focus more on rehabilitation techniques: ... 1. Activity modification (reduction or abstinence from inciting activities) 2. Counterforce bracing (although some patients prefer compression sleeve) 3. Oral /Topical analgesics: Acetaminophen, Nonsteroidal Antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) if not contraindicated 4. Physical therapy, including wrist mobility and ***ECCENTRIC STRENGTHENING EXERCISES*** 5.

Sports Medicine Series: The Kevin Durant Injury Over the next few weeks, we’re going to be sharing some prevention techniques you can start adding to your routine or use to optimize your rehabilitation. We will start today talking about Achilles’ tendon injuries, which, although rare, can have devastating effects. Below are some ways you can prevent a serious Achilles rupture:... 1. Stretch and strengthen calf muscles both concentrically and eccentrically. 2. Vary your exercises. Alternate high-impact sports, such as soccer, running, and basketball with low-impact sports, such as walking, biking or swimming. 3. Choose running surfaces carefully and avoiding landing on uneven ground. 4. Increase training intensity slowly. Always warm-up before game situations.
