Sprained Ankle with swelling and bruising?
I love using k-tape to help the swelling and bruising heal faster and more completely.
With the ankle being at the lowest part of the body, swelling likes to stay down there because of gravity.
Also, a lot of the pain that you feel with a sprained ankle is from the swelling. So the sooner you help the swelling out of there, the sooner that you'll start to feel better.

The warm that I do before running isn't the same every time.
Why?
Because it depends on what my body needs warmed up.
Some days I feel lower back tension, so I do a core warm up. Or if my calves feel tight then I'll do a focused calf warm up.
Today's warm up was reflective on tightness around my hip flexors and groin. So, I used a band to wake up my abductors so that my adductors and hip flexors don't get over worked for this 4 mile run.
I usually stretch after my run/workout because I feel like that's when my muscles are most pliable πŸ’ͺ🏼
How well are you tuned into your body?

Do you feel your hips working alot when you try doing core exercises?
You may not be getting a strong enough core brace for the hips to relax.
Try these 2 core warm-ups to help train the core to brace harder than the hip flexors. That way, your hips won't feel like they need to "help"
1. Make sure you press your belly button firmly against the ground and don't let it go as you move.
Once you master these 2 exercises, add in easy core exercises with these cues and you should feel your whole abdomen light up!

I gave a presentation about Sports Chiropractic in an Exercise Science class today at Concordia University and after class a student with an arm sling came up to me and said "my sports chiropractor from SD was the one that diagnosed me with a labrum tear in my shoulder. Thank you for all that you do".

😭
Totally made my day AND it is so nice to see a shift in perception of my profession.
I've been doing this presentation for this freshman class for 6 years now and usually the students have a negative view on this profession. It's so rewarding to see this shift πŸ™ŒπŸΌ

Do you feel like your hamstrings pull easy or feel tight while playing soccer?
These exercises are my favorite to help engage and warm up the hamstrings in various ways.
The result is looser feeling hamstrings and they will feel stronger when you're running instead of feeling like they are gonna "pull".

Knee pain with: jumping and running?
You might have patella tendonitis or osgood schlatters (depending on your age)
This tape combination can help take some pressure off the patellar tendon and the tibial tuberosity (marked by the red X)
K-tape rules:
- use an alcohol wipe to dry the skin of any oils or lotions
- shave the area so hair isn't in the way
- apply the tape 2hrs prior to activity so that the adhesive has time to warm up and adhere to your skin

Here are a few of my favorite moments helping team USA at the Senior Wrestling World Championships 2025 over the past couple of weeks!
My first week was spent in Normandie, France where the acclimation camp for the women's freestyle team was stationed. I assisted the athletic trainer and massage therapist with treating the athletes as they trained for competition.
My 2nd week was spent in Zagreb, Croatia, which is where the venue hosting the event was located.
Men's freestyle and Greco where there with us as well.
We used a hotel room for treatment of the athletes as well as setting up a treating area at the venue.
After the women's freestyle team was done competing, I helped the men's Greco team for the remainder of competition.
I enjoyed working with the medical staff and learning from them. As well as getting to know coaches and other supporting staff. Such a fun group!
