🎉 Welcome Kadeem! ✨

Kadeem is earning his Clinical Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Northeastern University and is starting his second clinical rotation with us at NERSC. Kadeem is a former collegiate track and field athlete who graduated from Lasell University where he earned a bachelor’s degree in Health Sciences. Kadeem truly believes that consistency, focus, and attention to detail can in turn prove to optimize overall performance and recovery.

Kadeem is a certified strength and conditioning specialist who mostly enjoys weightlifting, running leisurely, and playing pickup basketball with his friends. He intends to continue to restore and develop athletes by endorsing both functional movement as well as a strong sense of community and support. Kadeem knows first hand how Physical Therapy has the propensity to not only strengthen the body but to also develop and strengthen an athlete’s mind and sense of self. He is excited for the journey ahead and is ready to make a true positive impact on the NERSC team and its amazing athletes.

Please give Kadeem a warm NERSC welcome when you see him in the clinic!

✨ REMINDER NERSC is getting clinical students!✨

Starting on Monday March 3rd, Michele will be mentoring a clinical student from Northeastern University here at NERSC. Clinical students are in the final stages of their Doctor of Physical Therapy programs and are nearly ready to graduate. They’re joining us to gain hands-on experience in sports and performance physical therapy, learning directly from our expert clinicians.

What this means for you:
You will continue to receive the same high-quality, individualized care you expect at NERSC. Our licensed physical therapists retain full responsibility for all aspects of your care, including evaluations, treatments, and clinical decision-making. Clinical students are here to observe, assist, and learn—always under close supervision—so your care remains seamless, intentional, and evidence-based.

By teaching, we’re not only reinforcing best practices within our own clinic, but also helping to push the profession forward and shape the next generation of physical therapists who value thoughtful rehab, performance, and long-term athlete health.

If you see a student in the clinic, please help us give them a warm NERSC welcome! 🤍

And as always, if you would prefer not to have a clinical student present during your visit, simply let your therapist know. Your comfort, privacy, and trust are our top priorities—always.

Mid to Late Stage Hip Rehab ⚽️

Earlier phases focused on:
✔️ Decreasing pain + tissue irritability
✔️ Restoring hip ROM (especially IR)
✔️ Building progressive, foundational hip strength

Now we’re in the late strength → early power phase.

Soccer demands repeated sprinting, cutting, decelerating, and kicking — all of which require hip internal rotation control, frontal plane stability, and high-speed hip flexion capacity.

Today’s focus:

🔹 Resisted IR (staggered hip airplane) — weightbearing IR control for cutting + change of direction

🔹 Seated split-pelvis explosive hip flexion — anterior hip capacity under velocity for sprinting + striking

🔹 Kneeling short-lever adductor slide outs — progressive frontal plane loading to support cutting mechanics

🔹 Nordic hip flexor (slow eccentric → fast concentric + load) — lengthened hip flexor control transitioning into force production for sprint demands

At this stage of rehab, it’s not just about being pain-free — it’s about restoring the strength and rate of force development needed to tolerate match play.

Capacity → speed → performance.

Due to the incoming blizzard and expected hazardous travel conditions, NERSC will be closed Monday, February 23.

The safety of our patients and staff is our top priority. Our team will be reaching out to reschedule all appointments as soon as possible. Telehealth options are available where appropriate.

Please stay safe, stay warm, and we’ll see you soon. ❄️

🚴🏼‍♀️Before surgery, your knee range of motion matters more than you think.

Going into surgery with better flexion and extension can:

✔️ Improve post-op recovery
✔️ Reduce stiffness
✔️ Speed up rehab progress
✔️ Help you regain strength and function faster

Prehab isn’t optional — it’s preparation for your comeback. The more motion you have before, the better your foundation after.

Move well now so you can recover better later. 💪
