We know that performing eccentric hamstring exercises such as the Nordic Hamstring Exercise can be beneficial in hamstring strain rehabilitation and injury risk reduction. The problem is, you don't always have a partner willing to hold your legs down while performing the Nordic Hamstring Exercise. Eccentric Hamstring Progression Here are a few variations of eccentric hamstring exercises that do not require a partner: 1️⃣ Hamstring Walkouts: 🔸 This is a very basic exercise in which you maintain a bridge position while slowly walking your feet out a little bit at a time until your legs are straight. This causes to hamstrings to work throughout their range of motion. 🔸 Step your feet right back up to the starting position to take away the concentric component. 2️⃣ Sliders: 🔸 Here, you are going to have a slider under one heel. Perform a bridge, lift one leg up, then slowly straighten the working leg. Drop your hips down to the floor and start at the beginning. 🔸 You may fe...

This is just a short piece, a reflective piece, about a value that makes up the very core of what I believe in and what I strive to achieve as a Physiotherapist -  empowering my patients with the knowledge and the skills they need to make them independent.  This year has been hectic, trying to understand and adapt to working in America and personally accomodating to a new workload after studying for nearly two years. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't tired or that I didn't get lost in the daily grind. But not today! Today I am going to take a moment to reflect and to celebrate :) These past few weeks have reminded me of a very special part of treating patients -  discharging them . For months now I have worked intensely to help the small patient population I have contact with. After investing so much time in their development and progress, it is a magical moment when they come to me and say  "I am not 100% better, but, I know what the problem is, I know how to mak...

This blog is intended to discuss the overall concept of the Motion Guidance system. To start with, lets discuss some relevant background research regarding proprioception, injury, learning, and how all this ties into the unique visual feedback system that your clinic can incorporate to help assist patients. When considering how people learn, lets look at some general information about auditory, experiential, and visual learners. According to Bradford et al,   “Verbal learners, a group that constitutes about 30% of the general population, learn by hearing. They benefit from class lectures and from discussion of class materials in study groups or in oral presentations, but chafe at written assignments. Experiential learners - about 5% of the population - learn by doing and touching, and clinical work, role-playing exercises, and moot court are their best instructional modalities. Visual learners - the remaining 65% of the population - need to see what they are l...

How do you know if a patient has the capacity to fully pass a neurodynamic test? Passive testing with overpressure should be checked in each component (joint) of the test outside of the actual neurodynamic pattern. In other words, if the patient has full PROM in each joint isolated from the rest, you should be able to restore full range in the neurodynamic test position within the same session. This can be done with IASTM along the nerve pattern, compression wrapping, mobilization to each joint, or a combination of the above. Treating outside the painful/threatening pattern often restore threat free motion without provoking the complaints. Pretest for Neurodynamic Dysfunction Want to see the full 25 minute mini case?

It’s been a year, already?! Yup. Things just move that fast, these days. Last year, the APTA’s Private Practice Section conference was held in Las Vegas —  you can check out our recap, HERE. Well, this year,  we all gathered in Chicago — The Windy City . The venue itself was a bit hit and miss. The formal conference halls and session locations were less than ideal to a cohesive flow. However, the city itself and the company surrounding, more than made up for it during the after hours. So, without further ado… here is….! The #PPS2017 — Windy City Recap 1. Better Together, Stronger Together With less than 8-10% of the potential musculoskeletal market as actual physical therapy customers, this theme rings truer than ever — physical therapists stand to gain much more in partnership, than in competition. Despite the increasingly fluid nature of healthcare with declining reimbursement, value based care, difficulties securing talent, and massive changes in the behaviors of b...
