Hey guys! Here is a quick video that I shot the other day while working with a patient of mine. I just wanted to share a technique for ankle mobility that utilizes the Edge Mobility Band (or a theraband).
Case: 21 year old male, collegiate basketball player, 4-weeks post ankle sprain. Imaging revealed avulsion fractures of the medial deltoid and lateral calcaneal-fibular
Hey everybody, today I wanted to take the
time and ask a fellow athletic trainer a few questions
regarding challenging
beliefs and conventional wisdom. This post ties in perfectly with my last post when I interviewed Professor Timothy Noakes on challenging beliefs as well. I want to introduce you all to Joshua J.

Welcome Readers! Today I have the privilege and honor of sharing a back and forth that I had with Dr. Timothy Noakes of Capetown, South Africa. If you are big into exercise physiology, running/endurance sports or high fat/low carb diets then you probably know of or have heard of Professor Noakes!
It has now been exactly a month since I took the Selective Functional Movement Assessment certification course in St. Louis, MO. You can read my initial course review here. I have been trying to incorporate the SFMA into my clinical practice as much and as often as possible since then. I wanted to take the time to highlight some thoughts and self-reflections from this
My old running shoes
Today's post is kind of half personal story/half conjecture/half observation(wait, that doesn't add up!).

Hey Everybody! Just wanted to take a moment to share a video that I recorded yesterday while in the clinic. If you have ever been here before you have probably heard me mention Ankle Dorsiflexion and I often find it to be restricted in a lot of people.
Well I use a lot of different techniques depending on the situation and I wanted to show you all one variation that I've been using with success.

This past weekend I had the pleasure of attending the Selective Functional Movement Assessment(SFMA) certification course in St. Louis, Missouri. More specifically, the course was hosted on the beautiful campus of Logan Chiropractic College/University. Logan did a great job of hosting this seminar and they were very accommodating and even had snacks/refreshments/coffee
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
