We didn't have the space to cover this in our book on injury prevention in tennis, although we are often asked about infrared sauna therapy. The general trend in the research suggests infrared saunas may be of benefit for recovery post-exercise.

Many patients are referred for imaging that is often unnecessary or irrelevant—adding significant cost and delay for both the patient and the healthcare system. This case clearly demonstrated how point-of-care diagnostic ultrasound can streamline care and deliver faster, more targeted outcomes. 🎿

Knee injuries in BJJ (27-29%) hit guard fighters, those over 30, or training 3+ days/week, often from takedowns, guard passing, or locks. 🥋💪 Poor break-fall skills up the risk, and signs like swelling, pain, or a locked knee need quick attention!

For the time poor or those looking to improve efficiency from their work outs, supersetting is a fantastic strategy to optimize your resistance training without adding additional load to the body.

More in depth information can be found here: Zhang, X., Weakley, J., Li, H. et al.

MSK diagnostic ultrasound amplifies clinical practice in a sports based clinic by enabling precise, in-house diagnoses and real-time insights, enhancing patient care and trust. A quick scan can confirm injuries like a 5th metatarsal fracture, streamlining treatment decisions.

In our book on tennis injury prevention, we highlight that junior players of the same age develop at different rates. As physical maturity increases, so does the ability to generate speed and power, making proper technique (e.g., kick serve) essential by age 13+. For less physically mature players, the focus should remain on technique, not power. Grouping by age alone ignores these variations, potentially increasing injury risk for less developed players trying to match their peers' power.

We have been seeing an uptick in cervical disc injuries over the last 6 months with 2 clear groups present in our practice. In many cases, these injuries could be avoided by doing the basics properly.

We regularly see patients with unilateral low back / sacroiliac joint pain with or without hip pain that is mostly unresponsive mid - long term to more traditional treatment for low back pain.

Often we find the hip joint is the underlying cause for their pain, especially if they play pivot twist sports (soccer, football, basketball, tennis, dance, martial arts etc) or did so in their youth.
