Where Have I Been?

Howdy Folks! I am sorry that I haven't been blogging even a quarter as much as I would like to be lately. However, in all fairness I have been pretty busy. What have I been busy with you might ask? Well...on top of being an athletic trainer for a collegiate basketball team (that is ranked #4 in its division for the entire country and likely to win their second conference championship in a row), I have been busy working on and trying to complete the research project for my master's thesis.

Dr. Erson Religioso over at The Manual Therapist has been interested in my research project and asked me to write a guest blog for him where I would discuss what I was doing with and looking at for my research. I was honored but it also gave him some time off from blogging to spend with his new-born baby girl! Congrats to him for sure! Anyways, here is a link to my guest blog where I talk about my research! I need to get back on the blogging train and finish my self-SFMA series as well! Sorry for the delay, everyone.

I've got some cool cases related to my patients, SFMA, PRI, and Rock Tape to blog about once I get some more free time! Can't wait to share them all!

A Few Friday Finds!

Eat:

Earlier this week Mark Sisson discussed or should I say ranted about the haters of people choosing to go or live a gluten free life. His thoughts on this topic parallel very well with my own. Although, haters gonna hate.

Run:

Dr. Gangemi aka the "Soc Doc" did a Q&A over at the Natural Running Center. Questions ranged in topics from NSAIDs to orthotics to minimalist shoes. Check it out here.

Rehabilitate:

I have been seeing a lot of patients and athletes lately with chronic issues and chronic pain. These are often accompanied by mindsets that Dr. Erson Religioso, DPT calls "Thought Viruses".  I have had some success in addressing this with some people and other times I've failed to explain it properly and end up offending the patient. Here is Dr. E's latest post on his to five most commonly encountered thought viruses and the way he goes about addressing them. 

Have a happy Friday!
