Because “rest and stretch” isn’t fixing it.

🔧 CHRONIC HAMSTRING STRAIN REHAB 🔧

Had the same hamstring issue for months? Here’s what’s actually working for our athletes at Apex PT Mount Pleasant:

✅ Dry needling to release the deep trigger points that won’t let go
✅ Neubie to rewire the faulty movement patterns keeping you stuck
✅ Targeted strength work to rebuild what’s actually weak

Most people just rest and stretch. That’s why it keeps coming back.

The real problem? Your brain stopped firing the right muscles in the right order. We fix the wiring, then build the strength.

Achilles tendinopathy rehab is not just about resting and hoping it settles down. Adjuncts like dry needling and the NEUBIE device can help reduce pain, improve muscle activation, and make it easier to tolerate the work that actually drives recovery.

The key is that neither tool is the whole plan. They work best when paired with progressive loading, calf strengthening, and tendon capacity training so the athlete can get back to running, jumping, and performing with confidence.

For a high school pole vaulter with low back pain, core training should be about more than just “getting stronger abs.” It should build the ability to control the trunk, resist excessive arching, and transfer force efficiently from the runway into the plant and swing. 🚀

A lot of vaulters with back pain live in extension. If the athlete can’t control the rib cage, pelvis, and trunk under speed and load, the low back often takes more stress than it should.

Core training priorities for pole vaulters:
🔹 Anti-extension control – helps limit excessive lumbar arching
🔹 Anti-rotation strength – improves control during asymmetrical loading
🔹 Lumbopelvic stability – creates a better base for takeoff and swing
🔹 Full-body coordination – because the core has to connect hips, trunk, and shoulders

For this athlete, the goal isn’t to crush endless sit-ups. The goal is to build a core that can stabilize, transfer force, and reduce stress on the low back during vaulting.

Train the core for control, not just fatigue.
Better position. Better force transfer. Healthier back. 💥
