You can now book with RMT @paulleducrmt at UF Gyms Arnprior. Visit ufgyms.com/book-a-class. #Repost @paulleducrmt Strongman and powerlifter @adam_m_arsenault 8 weeks out from a moderate hamstring injury sustained while deadlifting. Initial treatment/training included numerous low intensity inputs via hip and knee CARs and directional isometric loading (PAILs and RAILs). Updates to treatment below:... Slide #1: Soft tissue assessment and treatment of the hamstring group, including epimysial spaces between semitendinosus and semimembranosus as well as between the medial and lateral (biceps femoris) hamstring. Manual therapy in the form of @functionalrangerelease applied in order to improve relative motion between tissues. Slide #2: Progressive and Regressive Angular Isometric Loading of the hamstring tissue has been ramped up to tolerance. Notice Adam scanning the tissue before we begin in order to find the lines of tissue with the greatest tension. Slide #3: Image of the right femur from a posterior view to demonstrate the relationship of the 3 muscles of the hamstring. Take note of how semitendinosus is more superficial and lies overtop of the deeper semimembranosus. Bioflow not included. @ufgyms @functionalrangerelease @functional_range_conditioning @kinstretch #strongman #powerlifting #manualtherapy #functionalrangesystems #controlyourself #makehammiesworknice
