A long while ago, I wrote a guest article called “ Reflections as a Rehab Director ” that continues to send email queries my way. During the time of that article, I had just reached new heights from a company station and corporate performance standpoint. Namely: I was leading the region in profits, despite having the highest operating costs while scooping up a historically failing trio of business units from crashing further into the red. Needless to say, this garnered a notable amount of attention — the world of allied rehab therapies is small. Well, it’s been five years since then… AND, since then, I’ve had the honor to help co-found two companies and take these brands into national acclaim — even becoming a national spokesperson for the APTA while on this journey. Therefore, I felt it was high time to revisit this post — a reflection on reflections. Now, keep in mind… these are reflections from a corporate culture perspective vs. the entrepreneurial world of which I am now proud...

image taken from learnmuscles.com Recently, I presented at a conference on gluteal tendinopathy where I discussed a few of the new RCTs that have come out recently. So, in this episode I will focus on two recent randomised controlled trials evaluating education and exercise interventions for gluteal tendinopathy. One of them is the best RCT I have read in ages. Well worth a look at their methods, findings and exercise interventions. It's great stuff and great to have new research on the topic.  Enjoy! via Dr. Peter Malliaras - Tendinopathy Rehab Want an approach that enhances your existing evaluation and treatment?

Often times in rehabilitation, we over simplify or over complicate various topics. This can be done with or without intentions. It can have beneficial or detrimental effects on transferring this information back to our clients or on to other rehabilitation professionals. Take vision in motor learning for instance. It is taken for granted that vision play a primary role in both learning as well as adapting to our environments around us. The ability to process information classical starts with visual based inputs and in support of skill building. Did you know that two different visual systems have been documented in the literature? They are referred to as the dorsal (ambient) stream and the ventral (focal) stream (Ungerleider 1982). They are understood to have different specializations and are used in different ways during daily motor processing.         The ventral stream is used for conscious identification of objects that lie primarily in the center of the...

As much as I do not like the word  asymmetrical  in regards to musculoskeletal care for many reasons, we cannot neglect its role in the history of our profession.  Historically, clinicians would eye-ball range of motion and even use palpation to determine deficits side to side with resultant definitions and/or descriptions to the patient that  could  be the reason for his/her symptoms.  We all know the reliability and validity of these measures have their own downfalls and with advanced scientific scrutiny of our own tests, these methods are dying out.  However, there is one test that has been shown to be valid, reliable and useful in the differential diagnosis of certain conditions.  This test is the Flexion Rotation Test. Back in 2004, Hall & Robinson were the first (to my knowledge) to study and cite the Flexion Rotation test in a comparative measurement study for Cervicogenic Headache.  This test has stood the test of time an...
