Today's post is centered around a patient that I have been working with lately. This athlete is a sophomore collegiate runner that competes in middle distance running events.
History:
This patient is now a 19 year old male that began running in 4th grade. He was in a running club affiliated with his grade school and was soon running around 160miles a year. He began

Today's second post is an article by Dr. Phil Maffetone and is entitled "Gait 101: Learning
I recently got a new phone and I have been in the process of downloading new apps for it. This is my first Android phone so I am getting used to it but it has made me think about how much I use different apps on a daily basis in the clinic, on the field or in the classroom.
This also gave me the idea of telling you all about ten different apps that I find myself using
Sorry for the delay in posts everybody! I have been busy with a combination of work, working on my thesis, and pre-season football practices. Enough complaining...lets get to the post!
I recently got myself a few new toys to use in the clinic when I bought myself a pair of Edge Mobility Bands from The Edge Mobility System. I am in the process of experimenting more with these bands so I can write an extensive and fair review of them to publish
For my second and final year of graduate school I will be featured as a semi-regular guest blogger at ATC Hacks. The series will be called "Grad Life" and as you might guess it will be about my time as a graduate student and graduate assistant athletic trainer.
I will be discussing things like advice for prospective graduate students, reflections on my own experiences, and anecdotes related to my own trials and tribulations. Here is a link to my

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

This is the type of heat that I am talking about.
Here comes another rant or a pet peeve that I have related to recent warm weather and people exercising in it. Just like this photo displays I hate that people think safely exercising in warm weather is all about preventing dehydration, and drinking copious amounts
