🔹Overhead pressing has been a hotly debated topic over the years in the rehab as well as strength and conditioning field. 🔹We have the belief that overhead movements can be perfectly safe, especially if we can build constraints around the exercises to optimize the effectiveness of the exercise while reducing any potential risk of injury. 🔹Here are some great ways to incorporate overhead variations into a training program for better outcomes. re-posted with permission from Barbell Therapy and performance - follow him on instagram!

It is without a doubt that treating a multi-system symptom of dizziness is challenging!  Not only can dizziness be a vague phrase for similar descriptions such as vertigo, lightheadiness, unsteadiness or even drunkenness, it is hard to “capture” objectively. Vestibular rehabilitation principles that have been present since  mid-1940s  is by far one of the best ways to rehabilitate dizziness from vestibular lesions.  Prior to these approaches, the treatment of dizziness was usually wait-and-see, medication and/or manual therapies (i.e. chiropractic, acupuncture, osteopath — as physio didn’t really have much manual therapy at this time). In the last half-decade, the understanding of correlating manual therapy and vestibular principles has yielded to be superior in the treatment of double entities (also known as double origin).  We are now seeing a trend towards a third pillar of rehabilitation for some dizziness disorders, called proprioceptive cervical train...

[ INJURED? DON’T FORGET ABOUT THE IMPACT OF THIS WITH INJURY] ☝🏻 _ 👉🏻There are many determinants of both performance & injury ♾ _ 👉🏻I often say injuries are far more than ‘skin deep’: meaning that it’s not just about the biology of the injured or sore tissues & the (training) loads that may have overloaded that area -commiseration also needs to be given to the difficult to quantity ‘3rd dimension’ that is the emotional stressors an athlete/ individual is experiencing/subject to 🤔 _ 👉🏻training overload DOES NOT explain all injuries. The body is under load due to emotional distress (relationships, work, exams, financial hardships etc) ⚖️ _ 👉🏻 It is well established scientifically that our adaptation to our training loads is influenced (positively ➕ & negatively ➖) by biomechanical factors (how we move) as well as various emotional and lifestyle stressors 🏃‍♂️+ 🧠 _ 👉🏻For example elevated academic^ 🤓& emotional stress* 😔, anxiety” 😬, and the...

ƒ TMD and Facial pain can be very debilitating! Unless you've experienced it yourself, it's hard to imagine having pain speaking, eating, and even smiling. It can be very isolating and it's even more difficult to "distance" yourself from the pain. When your head and face hurts, it's more like YOU are actually in pain as opposed to "my ankle hurts." To desensitize the masseter and make opening and chewing more comfortable, an effective technique is Positional Inhibition. A simple slacking of the skin often reduces tone and tenderness and should be completely pain free. Contrast that to dropping a needle in a trigger point and it has the same effect, plus you don't have to sell it.  Another use for PI is if mobilizations are indicated, but not able to be tolerated due to painful/limited opening. Recovery Plan exercises after this are resisted mandible depression hourly to continue to inhibit the masseter and/or cervical retraction with m...

A common term that is thrown around in the physical therapy and rehabilitation conversations in graduate school PT labs and clinics is  proprioception. Derived almost 120 years ago by Sherrington, the term  proprioception —  from Latin  proprius  (own) and  recipere  (recept) — encompasses both the senses of limb movement (kinaesthesia) and limb position (joint position sense or stataesthesia). Proprioception can be used in training programs to prevent injuries and in rehabilitation program to alleviate injuries and get a patient back on the court, walking down a sidewalk, etc.  We know proprioception  declines as we age  and one, of many, reasons why there is a higher fall risk. Just as our eyes aren’t as good as we get older and our vestibular sense declines; our joints and muscle spindles have impaired afferent input.  Several of these systems (i.e. peripheral) alongside altered cortical compensation and integration syste...

It's easy to gain more mobility from a variety of dynamic stretches, manual techniques, corrective exercises or repeated loading strategies. They all do the same thing when motion improves rapidly - change the perception of stretch/threat. But how do you keep it? High dosage of the resets for several days followed by regular loading in the new range to form a "habit" out of the newly gained mobility. Perform one or some of the initial resets repeated ankle plantarflexion and inversion repeated great toe flexion lateral tibial glide 10 times or so an hour or enough to stay ahead of it Then load the new range 2-3 times a day with the kettlebell half knee rotational and straight plane lunge and the combo lateral tibial glide with forefoot in neutral lunge.

As clinicians, we try our best to empathize with patients in chronic pain. However, if you've never had a persistent injury, loss of function, and or fear avoidance, can you really relate?

In order to provide the most appropriate treatment, you need to figure out the most appropriate diagnosis.  Examining proper symptoms and ruling out other conditions that could contribute to dizziness and lightheadiness is the first course of action for someone you are considering to have Cervicogenic Dizziness. From there, there are many options to treat the patient and this could be determined on what type of clinician you see. Acupuncturist: you will get acupuncture Vestibular Therapy to Treat Cervicogenic Dizziness Chiropractor: you will get chiropractic manipulation (other procedures probably as well...) Massage therapist: massage Physical Therapist: well...depends on who and where.  Read more below. For a clinician who is a vestibular therapist with minimal manual training, you will most likely get mostly vestibular therapy and some manual therapy to the neck. For the manual therapist with minimal vestibular training, you will most...
