💪💪 After the popular post, Stop Taking Spinal Extension https://modmt.com/spine-ext for granted. Some of the clinicians who follow MMT on social media asked for easier methods of loading strategies that would still help with cervical and lumbar extension. This would mainly be for patients unable to perform the Kneeling Kettlebell Plank. 👉 Firing posterior chain in a way that doesn't trigger neurotags, or associations of stretch/threat with a certain position often rapidly restores extension 👉 if it doesn't rapidly restore quantity, it may still dramatically change quality, or the perception of pinching that often comes with spinal extension when not commonly used 👉 prior to trying these exercises, make sure to test cervical/lumbar extension using a cervical retraction/extension and/or lumbar extension in standing or lying Here are 5 Simple Exercises to Help with Cervical and Lumbar Extension 🔹 Banded Isometric Scapular Depression 🔹Self Cervical Mobilization ...

Specific versus Non-specific effects, where do we stand? There has been some good discussion and debate in regards to specific and non-specific effects when it comes to treatment and outcomes with our patients. The pendulum can swing a lot between the perspective different people have on this topic. Alternatively, maybe, it is not a one or the other but a both that are not as easily distinguishable as two distinct concepts as we sometimes make it. Creating a definitional foundation on these two terms I think will be helpful as I try to unpack these two concepts. Non-specific effects are often times referred to as placebo, which is technically incorrect. Placebo is a substance or treatment of no intended value such as a sugar pill. First, let us talk about non-specific effects. Non-specific effects are often times referred to as placebo, which is technically incorrect. Placebo is a substance or treatment of no intended value such as a sugar pill. A placebo can produce non-specifi...

Rolling Patterns are a popular assessment and corrective exercise for both upper and lower quarter MSK issues. Many resort to complex methods of banded resistance to help promote the correct motor program. Since you're already spending time with your patient/client, why not use manual resistance via isometrics and resistance through the range to help get through the sticking points? After helping the patient with manual resistance, the movements should be much easier. Regular practice with good dosage will ingrain the new motor pattern.

You only have 7 seconds.  That's because our attention span on the internet is so poor (did you see the Times article that said our attention span is shorter than a goldfish!?) Animal comparisons aside, you only have a few brief seconds to capture a visitor's attention and KEEP them on your website.  Use your seconds wisely. So how do you do that? You need to put the important AND informative information "above the fold".  What is "the fold?" The fold is whatever someone sees on their screen without scrolling.  This can get tricky, because depending on what type of device, or the size of your computer screen, different people are going to see different amount of information "above the fold". So generally, we want your important and informative information near the TOP.  This idea is not new. Publishers of all kinds have been using this strategy for years. Think about newspapers, magazines, even handouts…if you don't have some...

WHY THIS TOPIC? It has been hard to ignore the surge in media and articles published in 2018 through professional platforms/bodies around the opioid epidemic. Whether it’s through online newsletters through the Australian Physiotherapy Association and American Physical Therapy Association, to marketing of the #ChoosePT campaign and published papers, everyone is starting to talk more and more about this topic. Curious to know more about what our suggested role is to play in this opioid epidemic, I began reading some of the latest reviews. This problem has been growing for several decades now and does not begin with our profession. Yet, our profession is being drawn into the conversation more strongly as time continues. In many of the articles I have been reading, this debate is traced back to a highly unscientific claim published in 1980 (Porter & Jick., 1980) that the risk of opioid addiction was rare. Pharmaceutical companies took advantage of this statement and the push of ...
