📢 Quadriceps Tear 📢

Re**us femoris (Quad) strains are extremely common particularly at this time of the GAA calendar.

Typicality caused by a sudden forceful contraction of the muscle (kicking/sprinting) which results in tearing of the muscle fibers

At Physio Tullamore we combine a detailed physical examination with sports specific rehabilitation to ensure an individuals full return to their sport.

◀️⛓ Landmine Deadlift ◀️⛓

The conventional deadlift an extremely effective exercise to increase your overall strength, build muscle, and to target and develop your posterior chain muscles. But the lift isn’t suitable for everybody. It can be quite a difficult movement to master for beginners. And it can be problematic for people with lower back issues.

The landmine bar path helps maintain a more upright posture which can help significantly reduce shearing forces on the lumbar spine.

Benefits of landmine deadlift:
•Safer option for beginners and those with Lower back issues
•Can be trained at a higher volume
•Effective method to teach hip hinge
•Highly effective posterior chain exercise
•Can be easily progressed

🔥💨 Advanced Single Leg Hamstring Curl 🔥💨

The Exercise Ball Single Leg Hamstring Curl is an advanced single leg hamstring exercise typically prescribed at the end stage of our hamstring rehabilitation.

With a high eccentric demand, this exercise helps build robustness in the hamstrings unilaterally.

When performing concentrate on a super slow extension of the knee while maintaining ipsilateral hip extension with contra lateral hip flexion.

🥊 Alternate Conditioning 🥊

Alternate / Off-feet conditioning, or energy system training other than running is an area used by all S&C coaches at some point throughout a season.

Alternate training can be utilised for conditioning injured athletes or simply to help athlete’s recharge by adding a different fun stimulus.

The goal of off-feet conditioning is to decrease the demand on the joints and muscle groups, while facilitating cardiovascular conditioning

Boxing is a low impact form of alternate conditioning we use which burns up the body metabolically and is simply fun.

🦵🏻🦵🏻 ForceDecks Isometric Mid Thigh Pull Test 🦵🏻🦵🏻

The isometric mid-thigh pull test (IMTP) is an effective and reliable way to test maximal strength in athletes.

IMTP performance results have been shown to significantly correlate to athletic movements such as sprinting and vertical jump.

At Physio Tullamore we use IMTP test for the majority of athletes particularly those with low training age who may not be as experienced at performing 1RM testing such as back squat or deadlift as it is a much safer and more time-efficient method

When performed using our VALD Force Decks we can quantify peak force, relative force, rate of force development (RFD), time to peak force and much more.

🧪 Science Led Injury Recovery 🧪

At Physio Tullamore we use Force Decks regularly throughout Injury rehabilitation to measure asymmetry’s between the injured vs uninjured limb.

The above results show a patients single leg jump test results 3 months post ACLR surgery.

From this data we will prescribe a individualised plan to correct all asymmetries found.

We then retest to ensure the effectiveness of our rehabilitation plans.

🦘⚽️ 🇮🇪 ForceDecks Test: Countermovement Jump 🇮🇪 ⚽️🦘

Irish Soccer Star Becky Watkins getting some power testing in before upcoming international matches

The Countermovement Jump (CMJ) is arguably the most popular force plate test due to its wide range of applications and significant number of available metrics

At Physio Tullamore we Force Decks CMJ test for a variety of reasons including:

• Athlete profiling

•Fatigue and adaptation (Power) monitoring

•A wide range of return-to-play scenarios.

Performance Testing can be booked via link in bio or simply DM

🤩 Balance Exercise 🤩

Single leg balance tools such as a wobble cushion or a bosu ball are an excellent training aid often used in injury rehabilitation.

These help improve your proprioception as your brain and joints regain a sense of where your body is in space

These tools can also be used for injury prevention in both the sporting population and in the general population.

As you will be challenging your muscles/joints in new ways, unstable surfaces can help re-energize a stale exercise routine or simply add a fun element for your clients.

🥷🏻 Advanced Single Leg Control 🥷🏻

Step Up - Step Down

This advanced single leg exercise the step up into step-down provides significant unilateral leg strength.

This exercise aims to reduce weaknesses that limit bilateral leg strength, improves hip stability, and stresses knee extension in the most mechanically difficult range.

The high hip stability demands of this exercise makes it a good exercise for rehab and prehab, but also as a way to build initial strength for more challenging unilateral exercises.

🚶🏼‍♂️Lunge Patterns post ACLR🏃🏼‍♀️

Following on from our story asking which knee was the operated one in the picture above.
The answer is the left knee.

Here we can see a typical lunge pattern in a patient in the early stages of ACLR rehab.

In this patients end range lunge position we can see he drops straight down onto the back leg with an almost vertical front shin.

Passively he has full knee flexion so therefore we can assume this is a motor control / technique issue not a mobility issue.
The above lunge reduces quad activity significantly during the movement and as we all know regaining quad activation, size and strength is vital for a successful ACLR recovery

🏋🏼‍♀️🏋🏼‍♀️ The Hip Hinge 🏋🏻🏋🏻

The hip hinge is an exercise movement designed to primarily target the posterior chain in particular the hamstrings, glutes and lower back.

Learning how to properly hinge at the hips is a skill. It may take you several attempts to correctly perform the hip hinge exercise.

Here is an example of how we use a plyo box to aid hip hinge development:
•Soft Knees
•Shins vertical
•Neutral Lumbar spine
•Push Hips Back

The hip hinge is a staple for all our S&C programs and for the majority of our clinical rehabilitation including lower back issues.

💪🏻Relative vs Absolute Strength 💪🏻

Relative Strength = The amount of weight you can move relative to your body weight (BW)

Absolute Strength = The amount of weight you can move regardless of any other factors.

Scenario:
Athlete 1 weighs 50kg and has a 1RM Back Squat of 100kg

Athlete 2 weighs 100kg and has a 1RM Back Squat of 100kg

Who is the stronger athlete?

Answer = Athlete 1
Athlete 1 lifts BWx2
Athlete 2 lifts BW

At Physio Tullamore we always compare an Athletes Max Strength scores to their BW.
We then base our strength targets based of the athletes BW.

🏀⛹🏼‍♂️Achilles Rupture Rehabilitation⛹🏾‍♀️🏀

Calf strengthening is integral in achilles rupture rehab, which improves the capacity of the tendon to handle load.
However, once that capacity is developed, the focus needs to shift to retraining it's spring-like properties; maximising the tendons' potential to store and release energy.

Plyometrics allows one to retrain these properties.

With these Achilles plyometric exercises we are aiming for a few things:
• short ground contact times
• heel staying off the ground, minimal knee bend
• ‘laces up’ when the foot is in the air
• A definitive, controlled 'strike' into the ground.

🏃🏼‍♀️ Hamstring Rehabilitation 🏃🏼‍♀️

Single leg RDLs challenges the hamstring eccentrically, the way they are primarily used during running. By increasing the eccentric load on the hamstring with exercise, it is able to adapt and be better prepared for the repetitive stress that is placed on it during running.
