I am finishing up my last year of graduate school and for one of my courses we have guest speakers from other health professions come and present to our entire athletic training graduate program. This week we had a pleasure of a having a local Physical Therapist(PT) come and present to us on Dry Needling.
Dry Needling is a practice that is growing in popularity in the United States and more and more clinicians are getting trained in it. Athletic

This is a quick video that I shot in the Athletic Training clinic the other day when working with a basketball player. This is a self-hip internal rotation mobilization that I have my patients perform on their own.
This helps to maintain the benefits gained from treatment and manual therapy when working with me in the clinic. Ideally, this would be done about once an hour for a single set of 10-20 reps but it can be hard to have a student-athlete

Here is a quick video highlighting a great exercise for runners. This is an exercise that I like using with athletes that are struggling with overcoming issues with glute inhibition and proper core stabilization.

You don't a TRX do to this either...any suspension trainer, sturdy rope, a plyobox,

Hey everyone, I was about to go for a run today and I thought of the idea of highlighting some of repeated-end range exercises that I have mentioned in some of my recent posts. Today I will show you two of them that I do try to do before every one of my runs. I learned these from Dr. Erson of TheManualTherapist.com so I can't take credit for thinking of them! I must say that incorporating these two exercises has helped me resolve any lingering heel

Importance:
Sufficient hip extension is vital for proper running gait, form, posture and efficiency. Inhibited or restricted hip extension in running can result in:
Over-striding
Decreased running economy
Poor movement patterns
Potential risk for injury and/or compensation up and down the kinetic chain
The Gluteus Maximus is the primary hip extensor and the strongest muscle in the body. It is hypothesized that our massive glute max relative
