AAAAAHHHHH-TWEAK OUT! (LLE MCL), Bottom up, Top down
forward/back hurdle steps
R rotational L stagger squat
SLS to 45deg. c/ foot everted
Santa, will you please bring me a new HD digital video camera? Mine really sucks.
Mr. Przytula, My name is Josh Nimmo, I am an athletic trainer for Freeburg High School in Freeburg,IL. I am also a CSCS. The company I work for is a full service physical therapy clinic and fitness center. We have five locations in southwestern Illinois. I work not only with athletes in sports medicine, but also with athletic enhancement. I came across your blog through a link on Tracy Fober's blog and I was immediately intrigued! As a young athletic trainer I am always interested in learning from someone with far greater experience than myself. I look forward to following your blog.
Joe, We have been doing a lot of hurdle mobility-both over and under and balance. Has worked well but we have seen too many hip flexor issues this year. I am in pt after last weeks meniscus surgery-any suggestions. Martin
1- Welcome aboard Josh! Not sure I've got greater experience, just older.
2- Coach Martin- Hip Flexor Strains, what we refer to in function as "the front butt"- great topic for a future post! Good luck with the meniscus rehab. A good P.T. will attack success first; the toughest for distnace runners-the transverse plane-is very important but usually needs to come last.
3- JH & KP always ask good questions, this a functional terminology one. I'm beginning to "tweak out" the MCL's "friends". Beginning to functionally load it sort of speak. I've not tweaked out totally. Example, in the SLS, I'm allowing a BUE anterior reach to load the butt more.

Joe,
What specifically are you tweaking out? The middle and bottom pictures look like they would tweak in the MCL of the left leg?

I was wondering the same thing Jonathan.

So by tweaking out the butt you have essentially tweaked in the abductors, VMO, and post tib...am I invisioning this correctly?

PS Merry Christmas!!
JH-Your scenario could be a possibility, yes, depending on how sequence your drivers.
