Welcome readers to my second monthly traffic & income report. I started this tradition last month by reporting my statistics for October. You may have noticed that this is only my second post this week. I attribute this to it being finals week so the only things that I have done are studied for my own exams, given the class that I lecture their final exam, taken exams,
Another Monday means another movie to be shared with all of you. This week's video is a clinical pearl to keep in mind when assessing great toe dorsiflexion/extension (whatever nomenclature you like for sagittal plane motion at the great toe). This is especially important when dealing with runners and running injuries due to the influence of the great toe during gait.
Many of us have been scolded since childhood to "sit up straight", to stop slouching, to keep our chins up and other various cues in attempt to hammer home "perfect posture" habits. However, the more I think about it and think about human movement I start to think more about how there isn't really such a thing as bad posture. When I say this...I mean that there is nothing
Good Morning Readers! As you may have noticed last week was a busy week for me with the holidays and I only ended up getting one post done for all of you. My fiance and I actually drove across the country to see family and then had to drive back. I don't really want to sit in a car anymore in the foreseeable future. I don't understand how people can sit at a desk for 8-12
Howdy Folks. Today's video is a simple test that I use when assessing gluteus maximus function of my patients. I learned this test from Jay Dicharry, MPT, SCS, the author of Anatomy For Runners and he also taught it as part of his Healthy Running seminar.
It is a simple bridge test that looks at the ability to activate the glute max as the primary hip extensor,
"C'mon baby make it hurt so good."...except I don't make it hurt.
Howdy Readers! Today's post will be short and sweet and it really isn't all that informative. I just wanted to take a moment and share with you all the four areas that I have found to be most effected by me using the EDGE mobility ball.
I have been playing with this thing since I got the Mobility/Stability
Howdy Readers! To go along with my Ultimate EDGE Mobility/Stability Combo Pack Review that I posted yesterday...I am giving away one of the pieces of the pack. I am going to be giving away one EDGEility tool courtesy of Dr. E himself, the man behind the entire EDGE Mobility System. Want to know what this tool is and haven't seen my review video yet? Well check it
Howdy Readers! Today is Monday so that means it is time for another movie! This week I have a video product review for you. In this video I will be looking at the Ultimate Mobility/Stability Combo pack from The EDGE Mobility System. I am no stranger to the EDGE Mobility System but recently they started to sell their products as combo packs instead of just singular items.
Howdy Readers! After posting my latest Movie Monday video I was asked by an individual to post a video on how to tape the great toe when suffering from turf toe. First of all, turf toe is a forced hyperextension of the great toe or first metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint which results in damage to the plantar aspect of the 1st MTP joint.
Often times this can result
Good morning readers! Another Monday and so I bring you another movie! This week's video is another how-to for taping but this time it is for your thumb. In this video I show two variations on how to tape an injured thumb with two different levels of support/restriction. There is one more modification that could be done with this tape job to take it to the ultimate level
