Basketball is as much about being mobile as it is about being strong and fast. If you can’t move effectively and efficiently on the court, you won’t be a factor... in the game. We’ve all heard it before, stay low on defence! Stay low when breaking down your defender! But what if my body doesn’t know what ‘low’ means? Simply put, we need to acquire new (lower!) available ranges for our bodies to access. How? Let’s check out these 3 exercises that you can do to improve your mobility Loaded mobility 1)Paused Goblet squats: 2)Knees over toes split squat. (Credit to Coach Matt @alliance_athletics_) 3) Frog stretch with torso rotation and hip internal rotation. Full video on Youtube. Check bio for the link! NOTE: videos were filmed in the summer when we were open, prior to the mask mandate, following the Manitoba Public Health guidelines. @basketballmb

According to the study below, the reverse nordic exercise appears to lead to changes in muscle architecture, which could result in ...a reduction in injury risk. Subjects in this study perform 3 sessions per week and did 3 sets of 8-10 repetitions at each session with 2 minutes of rest between sets. BACKGROUND: Injuries and mechanical stimuli alter the muscle architecture and, therefore, its function. The changes in the architecture of the rectus femoris (RF) induced by an eccentric training protocol with reverse nordic hamstring exercises (RNHE) have never been studied. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to determine the architectural adaptations of the RF after an eccentric training with RNHE, followed by a subsequent detraining period. METHODS: Twenty-six subjects performed a first week of control, 8 weeks of eccentric training, concluding with a 4-week period of detraining. The architectural characteristics of the RF were evaluated using 2D ultrasound at rest (pretest: week 1), after the training (post-test: week 9), and at the end of the detraining period (retest: week 13). RESULTS: At the end of the training period, a significant increase in the muscle fascicle length (FL), muscle thickness (MT), pennation angle (PA) and cross-sectional area (CSA) was observed. After the detraining period FL, MT, PA and CSA showed a significant decrease. CONCLUSIONS: The eccentric training with RNHE may cause changes in the architectural conditions of RF, which, in addition, are also reversible after a 4-week detraining period. The adaptations produced by RNHE may have practical implications for injury prevention and rehabilitation programs, which include the changes in muscle architecture variables.

Teamed up with @pulsephysioptbo to demonstrate some possible exercise progressions to help rehab from anterior (front of the) knee pain.... Although temporary rest may be helpful to calm down an acutely painful knee, current research has taught us that prolonged periods of absolute rest are almost never the answer to returning to activity. One of the most common diagnoses for anterior knee pain is Patellofemoral Pain. This diagnosis is characterized by pain around or behind the patella (knee cap) during squatting, lunging, stair climbing or prolonged sitting. Initially, loading the lower body with hip-focused exercises (ie. deadlifts) can be an entry point into strength training with a painful knee. Once the pain intensity begins to improve, it is essential to start targeting the knee! Swipe to see a few (of many) possible knee-targeted exercise progressions for anterior knee pain. Also, be sure to checkout the 12-week Knee Repair program below for a more comprehensive plan (10% off with code - RehabScience). 1 Heel elevated 1/4 squat 2 Banded Spanish squat 3 Lateral step-downs 4 Rear foot elevated split-squat 5 Reverse Nordic curl 6 Pistol squat progressions Reference: Willy et al.

The pistol squat is a single-leg squat variation that requires a significant degree of lower extremity mobility and strength. Like other s...quats, the pistol squat requires both sufficient hip extensor (glutes) and knee extensor (quads) strength to be completed successfully. From a mobility standpoint, and individual performing this squat must possess full hip (120 degrees) and knee flexion (145 degrees) and ankle dorsiflexion (40 degrees). Shown in the following video are a series of progressions you could work through when training to achieve your first pistol squat. 1Modified Range of Motion: When initially training this movement, start with reduced range of motion and work up from there. 2Concentric Assist: During squats, the down portion of the movement includes an eccentric contraction where our muscles are getting longer as the contract. On the up portion of the movement, which is often more difficult, the muscles are shortening and contracting. To overcome the difficulty with coming up from the bottom of a pistol squat, use both legs. 3Heel Lift: If your ankle dorsiflexion mobility is a limiting factor, which is common for many people, place a small lift under your heel and train the movement in this position. 4Complete a full pistol squat!

Although several studies have now shown that training further from failure is better than training closer to failure for increasing high-velocity strength measu...res, this new study adds to the literature by showing that training further from failure also permits greater improvements in early phase rate of force development, which is very likely an important adaptation for any sporting movement involving very short-duration muscular contractions.

I think the myth that manual therapy is not long-term effective stems from a false association that short-term is a synonym for transient. It is a fallacy... to think that research demonstrating short-term efficacy also implies no long-term efficacy. Short-term efficacy often means that long-term follow-up was not included in the study. Keep in mind, long-term follow-up can be costly, time consuming, and result in a lot of participant attrition. To be fair (and totally transparent), it is likely that every technique, when performed alone, without reinforcement from additional techniques, further sessions or a home-exercise program, will have little if any long-term efficacy. This is why we promote integrated practice, reinforced by home exercise and education. Manual therapy often demonstrates significantly larger effects than other techniques early in a rehabilitation program; however, these differences diminish over-time. The reduction in significant differences in long-term comparison should be expected, as the length of the study approaches the mean recovery time for a given diagnosis. That is, there is likely less improvement to be made; and therefore, smaller changes made by any intervention as a patient approaches the average time to full recovery and discharge. To address this potential confounding relationship, it may be more worthwhile to ask: Which modality results in the earliest return to full function and full recovery, or which modality results in the fewest mean number of sessions required to reach full recovery (discharge)? #brookbushinstitute #brentbrookbush #humanmovementscience #correctiveexercise #performanceenhancement #manualtherapy #evidencebased #evidencebasedpractice #evidencebasedmedicine #physicaltherapy #personaltraining #personaltrainer #athletictrainer #physiotherapist #physicaltherapist #physiotherapy #physio #manualtherapist #massagetherapist #occupationaltherapy #sportstherapy #rehab #rehabilitation #recovery #educate #education

Loaded Spinal Flexion . The case of Jefferson Curls . Jefferson Curl is a strengthening & lengthening movement for the posterior chain, more specifically th...e spine & supporting tissues & muscles, as well as the hamstrings. . In contrast to hip hinge & other posterior chain movements, the Jefferson Curl specifically reinforces segmented spinal flexion through a full range of motion, rather than movement with a neutral back. . Jefferson curls has been a staple in gymnastics and Olympic weightlifting training for many years now. . Check our post and find out our thoughts on the use of the Jefferson Curls based on the latest research findings. . We also provide progressions working towards the performance of Jefferson Curls as well as variations you can use based on your needs, goals & equipment avialable. In general, we believe that "IT IS TOTALLY FINE TO BEND AT THE SPINE UNDER LOAD". . After all, the goal of Jefferson Curl is not to weaken spinal structures with repeated spinal flexion but to strengthen the spine through a VERY GRADED EXPOSURE and GRADUAL PROGRESSION. . . . . #thestrengthpts @ Kallithéa, Greece See more

Got Hip swing? Yup, like it or leave it. It is here to stay. And evidently. It makes women more attractive to men or possibly more likely to attract a mate, as ...some research has shown So the question is, Why? Besides the aesthetically pleasing aspect of this, it is most likely biomechanics. Women (generally) have a. wider hips, b. more femoral anteversion (or ante torsion) and c. an increased Q angle. This means more: a. lateral displacement of the pelvis, b. more internal and less external hip rotation available and c. more lateral displacement again, with increased demand on the gluteus medius, due to the anatomical attachments. Yup, there usually is a reason and it is often biomechanical, not aesthetics. The Gait Guys. Ivo and Shawn. Gait Geeks to the core!

On this edition of You know how I know you don’t read research?: SIJ Pain: Let’s discuss the research regarding assessment and treatment of SIJ dysfunctio...n. It may be a little harsh to say that having a negative view of SIJ assessments means you are an evidence-based wannabe, but the body of research does imply a probable path to success. Anyone reviewing SIJ research should notice that studies confirm that SIJ dysfunction contributes to low back pain, and that various treatment options have demonstrated efficacy in high-quality studies (mobilization, manipulation and exercise in particular). Based on available research, dismissing all SIJ treatment would likely underserve the 15 30% of low back pain patients whose dysfunction includes SIJ pain. The Fallacy: The idea that we should not assess or treat this joint because studies demonstrate that certain special tests are not valid, unreliable or inaccurate is actually a logical fallacy. We do not necessarily need an assessment to successfully administer a technique for a dysfunction. Considering that we know SIJ dysfunction contributes to low back pain, and that SIJ mobilization, manipulation and exercise are low risk, it would be better to grossly apply the technique based on symptoms and monitor outcomes, with the understanding that it will only help 15 30% of our patients. (After all, this is what you do with aspirin and a headache - you have no idea what aspirin does, nor do you know what type of headache you have, how you would assess the type of headache, or the mechanism for headache pain). Refined by Research: We can do better than gross application based on symptoms. SIJ motion assessment is a perfect example of refinement of both the hypothesis and the application based on research findings. Research has demonstrated that pain and dysfunction are most often not related to SIJ range of motion or sacral position. Dysfunction is likely the result of ASYMMETRICAL STIFFNESS. This has a profound effect on assessment. If we constrain assessment to identifying asymmetrical changes in stiffness (and asymmetrical hip ROM) assessment is reliable and accurate. Grieve et al. 2001 is a great example!

Unlock Your Thoracic Spine [For You Desk Jockeys!] . Shown here are a few active ways to improve your Thoracic spine mobility . With all of these exercise...s, focus on moving proximally prior to moving distally. For example, pull back with your shoulder blade prior to moving at the shoulder. . Exercises 1&2: Begin in a half kneeling position with a ball between your outer leg and the wall. While keeping the knee up against the ball rotate your body open. Keep the arm in front of you against the wall as you rotate. The goal here is to eventually allow both arms to lay against the wall You have an option to oscillate at the end range of motion which the second exercise demonstrates. Exhale as you rotate further into this stretch. . Exercise 3: Start in a 1/2 kneeling position with a ball between your inner leg and the wall. This will ensure you DON'T cheat with any hip motion! Try to rotate with your hand all the way around and back Progression: Keep your hand away from the wall the entire time . Exercise 4: In half kneeling - Keep both hands behind your head Thoracic spine around the world against wall Rotate all the way around and come back, try to challenge yourself from keeping the elbow away from the wall. AVOID side-bending the opposite direction, this is a compensation. _________________________________________________ . . . . #prehab #physicaltherapy #dpt #physicaltherapist #theprehabguys #tpg #theprehabguys #thoracicmobility #thoracicspine #kyphosis #postureexercises #badposture See more

Loaded Lumbar Flexion [Jefferson Curl] . I've become much more of a fan of teaching my patients to move segmentally in their spine as best they can - especiall...y when it comes to some sort of active lumbar flexion. The Jefferson curl is the most loaded you can get when it comes to lumbar flexion and it's something that should be implemented towards the latter stages of rehab. . Not only are you working on strengthening a pattern that people will find themselves in literally ALL the time, but you are more than likely working on a movement trigger for someone with low back pain. Strengthening the body in these positions (desensitizing them) is a great tool to build resilience and it's something many of us in rehab forget to poke into in that latter stages. We're great at breaking the current pain cycle someone is in, but are we doing anything to combat the next pain trigger? . Understand that you can't just right into Jefferson curls during or after a bout of acute low back pain. You still need to respect the tissue healing process and avoiding triggers for a period of time. . Before doing a Jefferson curl I usually do a standing active segmental flexion from the top down. Working up to 100%MVIC and slowly increasing the amount of allowed flexion by decreasing the table height (hands pushing on the table) for at least a week before even thinking about applying a load. Will have to film a video of this soon for you guys! ______________________________________________ ' #jeffersoncurl #backpain #backrehab #lowbackpain #prehab #theprehabguys #TPG #fitness #healthandwellness #exercise #PT #DPT #DPTstudent #physio #physiotherapy #chiro #chiropractic #mobility #athlete #workout #recovery #rehab #prevention #rehabilitation #fitness #longevity #movement.

The Muscle They Named Wrong? The Abductor Hallucis Why would you name a muscle after its supposed function when its function is actually something totally diffe...rent? Probably due to what made sense from how it looked, not by how it acted. Of course, we are talking about the abductor hallucis. Think about all the anatomy you have learned over the years. Think about all the taxonomy and how it was done: sometimes by thename of the discoverer and more often by its anatomical location. The abductor hallucis seems to be the latter. The abductor and adductor hallicus function from approximately midstance to pre swing (1-4) (toe off), applying equal and opposite rotational vectors of force (in an ideal world) of the proximal phalynx of the hallux. This should resolve into a purely compressive force (5). In a closed chain environment, the transverse head of the adductor hallicus should act to prevent splay of metatarsals, along with the lumbricals and interossei (6), providing stabilzation of the forefoot (7) and rearfoot (8) during preswing, while the oblique head serves to help maintain the medial longitudinal arch. The abductor hallicus is actually a misnomer, as it most cases it is not an abductor but rather a plantar flexor of the 1st ray, particularly the proximal hallux, (assisting the peroneus longus) and supinator about the oblique midtarsal joint axis (5). In the majority of cases, there doesn’t appear to be a separate, distinct insertion of the adductor hallicus to the base of the proximal phalynx, but rather a conjoint insertion with the lateral head of the flexor hallicus bevis into the lateral sesamoid and base of the proximal phalynx (9-11), emphasizing more of its plantar flexion function and stabilizing actions, rather than abduction. In one EMG study of 20 people with valgus (12) they looked at activity of adductor and abductor hallucis, as well as flexor hallucis brevis and extensor hallucis longus. They found that the abductor hallucis had less activity than the adductor. No surprise here; think about reciprocal inhibition and increased activity of the adductor when the 1st ray cannot be anchoroed. They also found EMG amplitude greater in the abductor hallucis by nearly two fold in flexion. So, the abductor hallucis seems to be important in abduction but more important in flexion. Either way, it is a stance phase stabilizer that we are beginning to know a lot more about. As for the name? You decide... Dr Ivo Waerlop, one of The Gait Guys 1. Basmajian JV, Deluca CJ .

The squat is commonly programmed for developing the lower body when training both athletes and bodybuilders. However, there are frequent misunderstandings in th...e fitness industry about which muscles the squat actually trains. This study confirms the findings of many other earlier research investigations, showing that the main muscles trained by the squat (whether half or full variations) are the single-joint quadriceps, the adductors, and the gluteus maximus. In contrast, the squat does not train either the hamstrings or the two-joint rectus femoris muscle. -------------------- #sandcresearch #strengthandconditioning #strengthtraining #strength #sportsscience #biomechanics #exercisescience #research #sciencetopractice #performance #science #infographic #infographics #hypertrophy #muscle #musclegrowth #muscledamage #squat #backsquat #squats #squatting #quartersquat #halfsquat #quadriceps #rectusfemoris #hamstrings #adductors #adductormagnus #glutes #gluteusmaximus

It's "Toxic Tuesday"!! I've said it before - you can't make this stuff up! . This patient had these root canals done about 20 years ago. Up until that p...oint she reported feeling like she was in great health. After she had the root canals, she started experiencing serious health decline. Her symptoms included: sinus infections, sinus pain, tinnitus and hypertension. Her complaints of sinus issues and headaches were met with the typical "your teeth look fine" and "here, take these antibiotics" approaches. After 2 decades of suffering, this woman saw the movie "Root Cause" and it all clicked. She came to see us and asked if we could help her get her dead teeth out. Not only did we remove the teeth and infected tissue, we treated her infected bone with ozone to kill bacteria and stimulate blood flow and grafted the extraction sites with her own "L-PRF" blood cells. She is now feeling considerably better! . Note the incredibly grotesque color of the root on the left. See in the 2nd image the black ball of bacterial accumulation at the tip of the root. Also note the blackness inside the tooth on the right. The DNA analysis showed the presence of 19 infectious anaerobic bacteria, some of which have been proven to cause heart attacks, osteomyelitis, septic arthritis, infective endocarditis, meningitis, lung abscesses, just to name a few. If your dentist says root canals are safe, ask them how many bacterial DNA panels they have run on the root canals that they extract. Having run over 2 dozen of them myself, I am convinced that root canals are a very poor health solution. Yes, a root canal can help you keep a tooth for some time. But at what cost to the rest of your body? . With large lobbying groups like the American Dental Association and American Academy of Endodontists telling you that keeping a dead body part attached to you is fine, I think that it is time to start looking at REAL SCIENCE like these DNA reports. . . #ToxicTuesday #Dentalmedicine #DNA #realscience #holisticmedicine #holisitcdentist #rootcanal #rootcause #rootinfection #brainfog #wholebody #wellness #wholebodywellness #portland #blodgettdentalmedicine #blogdettdentalteam

Loss of terminal knee extension: How quickly can you process the facts ? Some quick thoughts that must go through your mind on your examination. These thoughts ...must be ingrained, so that you can quickly juggle the other issues you client is coming in with that may very likely be related to the loss of left knee terminal extension. more knee flexion may likely mean more ankle dorsiflexion , and that means more more anterior shin compartment strength is necessary to stop a quick progression to the forefoot (consider their clinical symptoms), this may mean pronation occurs more quickly (consider their clinical symptoms), it may mean more abrupt quadriceps loading since the loading does not start in more reasonable knee extension which means the quad is short now and that means increased patellofemoral compression possibilities (consider their clinical symptoms), this may mean more hip flexion on initiation of stance phase (consider their clinical symptoms), this may lead to more anterior pelvis tilt posturing and thus increased lordosis (consider their clinical symptoms), this flexed knee means that the leg is shorter which will through off pelvis symmetry (consider their clinical symptoms), this may mean more work for the contralateral hip abductors (consider their clinical symptoms), this may mean more frontal plane pelvis drift to the short leg side (consider their clinical symptoms), it will also mean 2 different step lengths which means 2 different hip extension patterns which means 2 different heel rises, and it will likely mean altered arm swing on both sides which can create changes into thoracic rotation (and of course the cervical spine sits on top of that) etc etc etc, so consider their clinical symptoms . . . just wanted to quickly rattle off how fast your brain must juggle things, otherwise your exam is going to be knee-centered and tunnel visioned. Keep in mind, your client may not even have knee complaints, perhaps one or more of the above. But this is a perfect example of why you must examine the WHOLE client. Perhaps this gives you even deeper understanding (combined with yesterdays "parallax binocular vision 2D post" as to why we will not give online corrective homework or consultations. There is just no way all of these things can be considered over video, Skype, Zoom or anything of the sort. Gait analysis must be done in person and encompass a hands on exam, if you do not want to miss something possible critically important, in our opinion, for what that is worth.

Knee pain and the semitendinosis? The semitendinosus hails from the posterior compartment. During an ideal gait cycle, the semitendinosus from mid swing throug...h nearly loading response, with a brief firing at toe off. We remember that the abdominals should initiate thigh flexion with the iliopsoas, rectus femoris, tensor fascia lata and sartorius perpetuating the motion. Sometimes, when the abdominals are insufficient, we will substitute other thigh flexors, often the psoas and/or rectus femoris, but sometimes sartorius, especially in people with excessive midfoot pronation. Think about all of the medial rotation occurring at the knee during excessive midfoot pronation and when overpronation occurs, the extra compensatory external rotation that must occur to try and bring the knee back into the sagittal plane. The sartorius is positioned perfectly for this function, along with the semitendinosus which assists and external rotation and closed chain. The semitendinosis is the most superficial of the hamstrings and originates between the biceps femoris, with which it shares a common tendinous attchment, which is anterior and slightly lateral and the semimembranosis which is just beneath it and slightly medial. It is fusiform and the muscle body ends about mid thigh, before becoming a long "piano string" and ultimately inserting most inferiorly of the trio, below the gracilis, on the pes anserine. Call it pes anserinus bursitis or pes anserine tendinitis but they both add up to medial knee pain when the thigh needs help flexing.
