Physical therapists are known through the healthcare field as the movement specialists. We don’t typically have direct access to x-rays, MRIs and things of the sort. These tend to be images of a certain body part while the patient is in one position.⠀
⠀
In order to diagnose, we rely on our ability to observe how a patient moves, which can be a more accurate depiction of everyday life for the individual. ⠀
⠀
Here is an example of a step down test; typically used when an individual complains of pain with going down stairs. ⠀
⠀
One is a successful performance of the test, demonstrating minimal weakness and minimal range of motion limitations. ⠀
⠀
The other, though exaggerated, shows several dysfunctional movements that will guide your Physical Therapist in pinpointing your deficits. ⠀
⠀
Can you spot the differences?⠀
⠀
Let’s work from the bottom up...⠀
a-foot- arch collapsing could signify mid foot instability. Believe it or not, an issue here can manifest itself all the way in your back. Don’t sleep on your feet. ⠀
⠀
b-ankle- restricted ankle dorsiflexion (shin and foot coming closer together) can restrict your motion on the way down and your body might compensate by lifting the heel up a bit early. This can usually lead to added pain in the knee or facilitate an arch collapse. ⠀
⠀
c- knee- the knee collapsing in can be due to compensations from the foot, the ankle or the hip. That’s where further investigation comes in. Weakness in the hip external rotators will make it difficult to keep the knee pointing forward. ⠀
⠀
d- hip- a weak gluteus medius will impair your ability to maintain a stable pelvis, which cause one side to dip and as a result cause to sidebend. ⠀
⠀
Surprising how much one simple movement can show you right?

The popliteus is a tiny muscle in the back of your knee that aids with knee flexion and helps to rotate your tibia (lower leg) inwards when you are in a non-weight bearing position. Sometimes when this muscle gets overused or strained it can cause pain in the back of the knee. Oftentimes this can cause trigger points to form within the muscle, which are tight bands that, when palpated, can reproduce the pain a person is experiencing. This can be done manually by a physical therapist, or on your own also as a form of self myofascial release. ⠀
⠀
To perform the self release, you can use a lacrosse ball and place the ball directly behind the crease of your knee. While maintaining the ball in this position, you can then apply overpressure on your shin and either manually or actively rotate your shin inward and outward. Repeat as needed until you feel a release.

Stand up and fully straighten both your elbows.
If your throwing elbow doesn’t get as straight as your other one (looks like the first photo and not the second one), then you need to keep reading so you don’t injure yourself.
Research has shown that one of the issues pitchers have is they lose motion in their elbow after throwing and they end up with an elbow that doesn’t fully extend.
And a bent elbow (aka one that doesn’t fully extend) has been shown to be a risk factor for future injury.
At Evolve Physical Therapy we specialize in working with baseball players and can help you restore your elbow to normal mobility. So, if your elbow looks like the first photo and not the second, please give us

About Us

Evolve Physical Therapy & Sports Rehabilitation is comprised of a team of physical therapists, sports performance/injury prevention specialists, strength and conditioning coaches, and personal trainers. But what we REALLY do is offer what we call the “Evolve Experience” for our clients. The Evolve Experience involves a multi-disciplinary research-and-evidence-based team approach to help our clients. This is the same approach used with elite athletes at all levels and is the best way to achieve success and maximize results.

Although Physical Therapists are known to be the experts in treating injuries, you do not need to be injured to benefit from physical therapy (PT). Physical therapists are also the experts in analyzing and correcting movement and balance, in injury prevention, and evaluating dysfunction.

We can help people move better, feel better and recover from injuries and surgeries faster. We’re also able to analyze movements in sports, such as your running mechanics or your golf or tennis swing in order to avoid injury and maximize performance. We can also help people reach their performance or fitness goals in a safer, faster way using our integrated approach.
