Don’t forget to mobilize those hip muscles when you are suffering from sciatica!

A foam roller is a great way to relax your glutes, piriformis, and the deeper muscles of your hip. Try these two techniques for 30-60 seconds a couple of times a day to relax the muscles and decrease the stress on the sciatic nerve!

Try this slump test if you are concerned about sciatica.

As a physical therapist, I deal with sciatica frequently. More frequently I deal with patients who were told that they have sciatica when they really don’t. The slump test is part of a battery of tests that I use to assess the sciatic nerve and possible causes of your pain.

If you are dealing with sciatica or aren’t sure what is going on, reach out to a physical therapist. If you want more information, check out the blog and YouTube video that I linked in my bio!

ABCA was this weekend. It is the ultimate gathering of baseball coaches in the country. I didn’t attend this year but I was fortunate enough to go last year and I learned a ton. Medical professionals including physical therapists would definitely benefit from stepping out of their comfort zone and learning from other professionals!

Spend money on the things that help you, that’s what it is for.

If something saves you time it is worth it. I would spend so much time and energy adjusting the old tripod I used for filming or dealing with background noise. Sarah convinced me to purchase a magnetic tripod and microphones and filming is so much easier now. Not only is it faster, but it is more enjoyable because I can focus on the actual filming instead of the nonsense that goes with it. Use money to save time, bring yourself happiness, or just fix a problem.

Maybe that means going out of network for physical therapy if that means you save time by going once a week, get better faster, and overall enjoy the experience more? I know a great physical therapy office in Sterling if you want all of those things!

Physical therapy should end when you are mentally and physically past your injury. That means you do not have any apprehension with quick or powerful movements. If there is any guarding with these movements, you are at an increased risk to compensate in the future which can lead to another injury. Non-athletes should also be able to perform movements like this because you never know what life is going to throw at you!

I love a pallof press for any sort of back pain, particularly a herniated disk!

This is an easy isometric to scale with more repetitions, a stronger band, or changing the movement to make it more difficult. We often neglect the role that the back plays in rotation and this is a great way to begin training rotation!

I firmly believe the key to growth is stepping outside of your comfort zone. I guess I need to practice what I preach. I have spent the last 7.5 years as a physical therapist and strength coach. It’s time to add a new challenge: coaching.

This year I will be an assistant varsity baseball coach with Herndon High School. Thank you to Coach Frank and the staff for taking a chance on a guy who has spent a lot of time working with baseball players, but never in this capacity. Special shout-out to my friend Patrick who was a coach in the program and reached out to me about the opportunity. We played baseball in Herndon when we were 11 and now our lives come full circle.

Gandhi and a bunch of IG bios said “be the change you wish to see in the world”. Baseball rehab sucks right now. We need to do better. I can either sit on the side and complain about coaches or I can step up and try to help.

This is honestly a scary challenge, but I’m excited to see what it brings. For those of you who don’t know, I grew up a few miles down the road from Herndon High School and I was in the stands at the baseball field as a 3 year old cheering for my brother. Part of having Eclipse Wellness is getting to take unique opportunities and this is certainly that and more.

I would be remiss if I didn’t give a special shoutout to Sarah. When you have a 2 year old and tell your partner that you might want to do something out of your comfort zone that is going to take up a lot of your time and they respond with “I guess our son needs some Herndon gear” you know that you have the right partner.

This isn’t going to change much at Eclipse, other than the fact that our afternoons in the spring might be busy 😂 Thanks for all of your support, I couldn’t do this without the awesome community that we all have built together. Now let’s change the baseball landscape in Northern Virginia.

Go Hornets!
