Dry Needling (not to be confused with Acupuncture out of respect for our Acupuncturist colleagues)

This is a little setup to help address inflammation. Note the placement of the negative electrodes relative to the positive to help encourage fluid proximally and medially into the lymphatics

(Because of the negatively charge ions in edema, placing the negatively charged electrode pushes fluid away- like repels like similar to magnets)

Two hockey players gettin after it during an “upper body” focused workout.

Clearly not doing bicep curls, bench press, or tricep extensions.

Proper linking through the “pillar” (hips/thorax/scapula) with relation to gravity is foundational to athletic success and basic human movement.

Are you training to move like a machine or a human???

Monday mornings at 7am these runners are getting after it.

You want to “improve” your running? Hit new PRs?
Do you work on the foundations to running?? (Core control, hip/pelvic stability, muscular recruitment/inhibition speed, strength, elasticity, tendon resilience and elasticity…?)

Crushing SL squats at 70yrs young!

Move outta the way leg press- SL squats not only strengthen extension fibers of the glutes, quads, and hammis, but enhance integration of our pelvic stabilizers (core, glute max/med/min, adductors) with ankle/foot stabilizers

Great example of what consistent, functional movement and strengthening can do for you over the course of your life!

A little update on our conservatively managed (non-operative) full thickness achilles rupture.

Tendons are amazing visco-elastic connective tissue/fascia that needs to be loaded in a variety of ways.

(Yes he did start some entry level running about 2 weeks ago, but I want it to be prettier before we show it off haha)

Our Pro LAX player crushing it!

Note the improved postural alignment, pelvic control, rhythm/timing, and power.

(We did not jump rope the past 2 weeks either 😜)

Specificity of plyometrics, running drills, and resistance training is VITAL to restoring not just “strength”, but NEUROMUSCULAR CONTROL - especially for athletes getting back into sports

Pro LAX player 15 weeks post op. (start of 4th week at our facility- started rehab elsewhere)

Rate of force development has become a “buzzword” in the industry and people often think they must have tech like force plates to assess this.

A jump rope is a great clinical assessment and retraining tool to expose and address deficits in rate of force development- especially with running athletes as both running and jump rope require proper rhythm/timing with short ground contact time.

Note the increased ground contact time of the L leg vs the R, lack of pelvic stability, and compensatory hip hinging.

A combination of continued strengthening of the entire LE kinetic chain, neuromuscular re-edu for rate of force development, and graded exposer to plyometric movements to restore the “crimp” within the fascia is needed to restore the “springyness” of his leg.

Fancy tech can be helpful in the decision making process, but don’t over look the value of simple tools around you (when applied correctly).

I could not do this at what many consider “peak physical fitness ages” (19-26). I was too immobile and “patterned up” from conventional weight lifting. (Now 37) It has been years of learning, working, and refining methodology with still a long journey to go.

Kinesio training- seeks to develop and diversify movement abilities to enhance human performance.

The methodology offers the opportunity to remaster control of your body, and learn to move within the gravitational field, not just against it.

Small group training now M/W/F 7am

An example of one of the “functional strengthening” movements we do in our Kinesio training (baby typically not included- gotta keep the little man entertained when we workout).

Great farm boy exercise linking force transfer from your feet to your arm
