I Am Suffering From Clinical Summer Doldrums
Posted on Tuesday, July 23, 2013 by AKthe_AT

I love being an athletic trainer and I have been reading/watching/learning a lot this summer that I want to use to advance

Strengthen and Mobilize Your Feet!
Posted on Saturday, July 20, 2013 by AKthe_AT
I have put together a video compilation of some of my favorite mobility and strengthening exercises for the foot. The target of most of these will be for the intrinsic soft tissues of the feet but you can't fully target just one area or muscle of the body with an exercise. I didn't think of all of these ideas and I tried to give credit to those that I learned them from where I could!

Posted on Wednesday, July 17, 2013 by AKthe_AT

The media loves to discuss them, coaches loathe them, parents fear them, and the research is still within its infancy.

Biphasic or Premod? Who cares!
Posted on Sunday, July 14, 2013 by AKthe_AT
Therapeutic modalities had an entire course devoted to it in my educational curriculum and there is more and more research being done on the topic. There is plenty to learn about the theory and application of each individual type of modality from ultrasound to electrical stimulation and plain old ice.
I definitely learned a lot and the use of modalities has been definitely

ATC Hacks Profiles Moi! And More!
Posted on Wednesday, July 10, 2013 by AKthe_AT
I was recently asked by the guys over at ATCHacks if I was willing to answer some questions for their "In The ATR" series. I have been following @ATCHacks on twitter for awhile now and I love what they have been doing, what they are about and how they are doing good things for the profession of Athletic Training. Their "In The ATR" series features athletic trainers and asks them questions about their history, methods, tips and med-kits.
