Sciatica isn’t always just “bad luck.”

Poor lifting mechanics can put excess stress on your spine and irritate the nerve — leading to pain down your leg.

Fix the movement, not just the symptoms.

It was fun experiencing the Flying Pig Marathon from the perspective of the medical tent this year.

Thought I would get major FOMO from watching the runners, but seeing the agony on some of the faces dashed that real quick..

Cool temps and clear skies are hard to beat!

3 athletic trainers at mile 6 & 11 of 2026 Flying Pig Marathon & Half Marathon, and all 3 of us are Xavier grads.

Needless to say, it was the safest part of the course.

Congrats to all the runners this year!

Crunches aren’t the best way to train your core.

Your core’s main job isn’t to create movement — it’s to resist movement and stabilize your spine.

That’s why exercises like planks and the Pallof press are more effective.

They train your body to:
✔ Resist extension (planks)
✔ Resist rotation (Pallof press)
✔ Maintain control under load

This is what actually carries over to lifting, running, and sports performance.

Crunches mainly train spinal flexion — which doesn’t do much for stability and, in some cases, can even aggravate symptoms.

If your goal is to build a stronger, more resilient core, focus on exercises that train control — not just movement.

If, for some reason, turning off light switches isn’t very exciting to you, hopefully the background tour of the training room livens things up.

What’s not included in this video is the usual hustle and bustle of treatment and rehab, and the other athletic trainers that keep these teams and athletes competing at a high level.

I was truly blessed the last few months to be able to work at my office in the mornings, followed by afternoons with highly competitive volleyball players and student athletes in general, and the coaches & strength coaches. Not even to mention the other AT’s who have a wealth of knowledge and expertise in all things sports medicine.

The end of one thing usually signals the beginning of another.

In this case, it’s the beginning of having afternoon hours again 🙌

Up next is a quick tour of the training room on my last day of being involved with Xavier Athletics/Sports Medicine.

Ice or heat? It depends on the situation.

🧊 Ice = new injury, swelling, inflammation
🔥 Heat = tight, stiff, or chronic pain

Both can help with symptoms —
but they don’t fix the root cause.

Movement and strength are what keep you pain-free long term.
