Hoover City Schools canceled a visit from due to a parent complaint.

The parent claimed his work f8t into the "boogie man category of critical race theory".

Heaven forbid children learn about black history, race theory, or simply the history of this country.

Working to get more eyes on this and continue to teach the history of this country, no matter how much some want it forgotten.

Poster chain strength at it's finest. When we talk psoterior chain, it isnt just glute and hamstring. We have to think thoracic extensors, scapular retractors, lumbar stability, and even calf.

Here, the adds perturbation to maximize stability in a difficult position for those extensors.

This distance runner is solid as a rock.

Kinesiology taping is a therapeutic intervention that your physical therapist might use to improve mobility and motor function. It involves placing strips of tape on your body in specific directions to help improve your mobility and support your joints, muscles, and tendons.

The main differences between kinesiology tape and athletic tape are:
-K-tape is used to facilitate motion and inhibit pain and spasm, athletic tape is used for support and to limit motion.
-K-tape is a flexible material that moves when you move, athletic tape is relatively inflexible.
-K-tape improves lymph transport and increase circulation, athletic tape decreases circulation.

Kinesiology tape helps to create balance in the neural circuitry in muscles, tendons, joints, and skin. This cumulative effect can reduce pain, decrease swelling, and improve muscle performance and function.

“Trigger points” are thick bands in muscle tissue that are caused by micro-lesions in the muscle fiber. They can occur in a muscle after an injury or overuse. These micro-lesions release calcium ions that cause excessive muscle contraction. Multiple contractions of this kind in a muscle can form a taut band and decreases circulation to the area. Without adequate oxygen supply to the muscle, the muscle cannot heal properly. These trigger points are a common cause of musculoskeletal pain and can refer pain to local regions as well. This is where it gets its name due to its nature to trigger pain elsewhere!

The easiest way to end the cycle of trigger points is to introduce blood flow and pressure to the area. Trigger points are easily identifiable by a physical therapist and with sustained pressure, can decrease in size and pain within minutes.

When administered by a trained professional, dry needling is a safe modality that can benefit a variety of patients. The physiology behind dry needling is complicated, but research supports its efficacy. When a needle is inserted in the body several reactions occur. Locally, factors are released that promote vasodilation (blood flow) and the creation of new blood vessels which encourages healing. Segmentally, the needles send signals through fibers that inhibit descending pathways to decrease pain sensation. Systemically, opiates are released in the brain that cause an overall feeling of less pain throughout the body.

With these changes, patients are able to improve their motor function and see results faster.

If you haven’t already, ask your PT if dry needling can help you!

Combining core, shoulder, and hip stability all in one. The stronger we get in dynamic positions; the more we can reduce injury risk and improve performance.
