Rotation is where compensation hides.

In ice hockey, everything rotates.
Skating. Shooting. Crossovers.

But when the hips don’t give you enough
the body will find it somewhere else.

- Lumbar spine.
- Pelvis.
- Adductors.

The player still performs but the load shifts.
And over time, that’s where problems show up.

Compensation under load.

Don’t just to ask what hurts, try and understand what’s working around what.

DVT isn’t always obvious.
Especially in older adults.

It’s easy to look for the textbook signs — swelling, heat, redness —
but in reality, it’s rarely that clean.

Sometimes it’s subtle.
Sometimes it’s quiet.
Sometimes it’s just a feeling that something isn’t quite right.

That’s where clinical reasoning matters.

It’s not just about what you see.
It’s about:
• the history
• the risk factors
• the medications
• and the pattern that’s building in front of you

Wells Score helps guide decision making —
but it doesn’t replace thinking.

Not every DVT shouts.
Some sit quietly.

And those are the ones we can’t afford to miss.

The more I watch hockey, the more I’m starting to look at it through a compensation lens.

It’s easy to focus on speed, power and acceleration, but what’s standing out more to me now is how players decelerate and absorb load.

From a physio point of view, this is where it gets interesting. Every stop, transition and change of direction requires eccentric strength, joint control under load, and the ability to absorb force properly.

If that system isn’t doing its job, the body will find another way. And that’s where we start to see groin-related pain, hip irritation and lumbar compensation patterns.

Deceleration isn’t just performance. It’s injury prevention.

What I’m learning is that it’s not always about producing more force, it’s about controlling it on the way down.

Still learning, but I’m starting to see the patterns — and once you see them, you can’t unsee them.

Crossovers aren’t just about speed.

They’re rotational force under load.

Every powerful crossover demands:

- Hip IR & ER control
- Pelvic stability on single-leg load
- Trunk dissociation

Limit hip rotation or lose pelvic control
and the adductors will quietly take the hit.

Groin issues mid-season rarely “just happen.”

In hockey, I’m learning we shouldn’t just rehab straight-line mechanics.
We have to respect rotation. Because the game is rotational.

And if you’re rehabbing a groin without analysing crossover mechanics, you might be missing the bigger picture.

As university winds down and before placements begin,
I’m delighted to say that clinic times and dates have been extended for March.

This means a bit more flexibility over the coming weeks for assessments, reviews, and ongoing care.

Appointments can be booked in the usual way or via message. Link in Bio 💪

🔥 HOCKEY MOVEMENT

Skating push-off isn’t just “leg strength”.

It’s coordinated triple extension through the hip, knee and ankle, transferring force from the ice, through the body, into forward propulsion.

When one link underperforms, something else compensates.

That’s where movement quality matters.
