Rehab on Tap

Rehab on Tap Rehabilitation and injury prevention videos for BJJ, MMA, striking, and overall quality movement! She also trained Muay thai for 5 years previously.

Rehab on Tap is operating out of the Advanced Wellness Clinic in the Douglasdale Professional Centre . Christine Mac has been a physiotherapist for over ten years, and currently trains Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and dabbles in Crossfit. She is combining her physiotherapy knowledge and skills with her familiarity with these sports to provide sport-specific rehabilitation and injury prevention videos for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, MMA, and other martial arts injuries! Many of the videos will also apply to other sports as well. IG:

As a physio who treats many BJJ athletes, some common themes I have noticed that can negatively impact recovery are:
▫️listening to the wrong (ie. unqualified) person/advice
▫️not respecting the injury or injury process
▫️feeling a pressure to always be on the mats despite all else
▫️fear of losing skills
As a BJJ practitioner who has been injured myself, I personally prefer to stay away from the mats if I cannot do positional sparring/rolling (I get too much FOMO). I return as soon as I feel like I can safely do those, but if it turns out that I am wrong and technique is too bothersome, then I will sit out the live rounds. That’s my approach.
Ultimately, my advice is to do what you need to do to be the best you on the mats, whether that be rolling smarter, rolling harder, or taking a break. Your training partners and healthcare team will thank you!
What do you think? Do you agree or disagree with any of the statements?

Fun times troubleshooting leg entanglements and heel hooks with .sharlene this afternoon for my first time back on the mats since last June!
We had no baby tears until the end of the hour and no diaper blowouts, so I’d call it a success!

Hip abductors or adductors? Patients confuse this all the time so we will give you a tip!
Hip ABDuctors ABDUCT (take away) the leg from midline, and therefore refers to the muscles on the OUTSIDE of your hip that do this (ie. your glute medius/minimus;TFL).
Hip ADDuctors ADD your legs together (move them towards midline), and therefore refers to the groin muscles on the INSIDE of the thigh (ie. adductor longus/magnus,brevis; gracilis, pectineus).
This is my colleague demonstrating a hip ABDUCTION exercise!
If you think you hurt either of these muscle groups, see your local physio for rehab! If you live in Calgary, AB, send a DM or see our bio for a booking link!

🔸ELECTROLYTE DEFICIENCY🔸 Many people hydrate with only water during exercise, but if you are sweating profusely, then water is insufficient to replenish your electrolyte stores!
Sometimes my patients bring up symptoms that may be musculoskeletal pains and issues, but can also be symptoms of electrolyte deficiency.
Examples of such symptoms are:
▪️Cramping during or after exercise
▪️Fatigue
▪️Headaches
▪️Numbness/tingling during exercise
▪️Lightheadedness/dizziness during exercise
▪️Extremity swelling
Therefore, if my assessment findings rule out a musculoskeletal cause for these issues, I recommend that the patient ask their family physician about taking electrolytes, especially if you have other medical conditions.
My favourite electrolyte brand is LMNT, and my favourite flavour is the Mango Chili! I find it especially helpful for exercise in extremely hot weather like we are having on this vacation in Palm Springs!
Do you take electrolytes? If so, what brand and flavour are your favourite?

Are you having pain when you do a shoulder press? Try these two tips!
1️⃣ Adjust your elbow position to ~45 degrees forward from horizontal. This is the scaption angle, which is the natural angle of your shoulder joint (see second photo); thus, it often feels more comfortable than a wider angle.
2️⃣ Exhale with the effort; many people tend to hold their breath (see third photo), especially if they anticipate pain. However, this can tighten the musculature in the surrounding muscles and can lead to pain.
If these do not help, it is recommended to see a physiotherapist who can assess and diagnose your pain and give you an individualized treatment and rehabilitation plan!
