Let's go ahead and bring your right foot out to the side. Slide it out. Keep that knee nice and still. Good. And let's see the left foot. Let's do both feet at the same time. And let's do internal rotation on the right and keep that foot, nice and flat. So that's really limited. Let’s go ahead on...
For lower body extension rolling start with both arms overhead. For this rolling pattern, you're going to keep your arms and your upper body completely still like you can't move them. You're going to begin the pattern by bringing the leg over and across your body, while keeping the upper body rel...
For hands and knees to three point transition phase two, start by bringing your foot up to your hand and then bring your arms overhead. Get up nice and tall and then come on down and bring your leg straight back. Being sure to fully extend the knee and then come back and repeat that position.
I remember him vividly.
He was a cantankerous old farmer. You know the type. Rough and rugged exterior but would do anything for anyone at the drop of a hat. At 72, he was still working on the farm daily.
He’d had a total hip replacement and was resistant to physical therapy from the beginning.
...Hey, everyone. I had a reader submitted question here about ACL reconstruction.
“Hello, I'm a PT and I've been really enjoying going through your med bridge courses. They've been super insightful, particularly with ACL reconstruction."
Thank you so much. I appreciate it. I love doing them. They're...
Knee extension ROM is essential after ACL reconstruction. We know we need to restore it (including full hyperextension) but sometimes it can be tricky. Using this hold relax technique can be a game changer especially when you combine it with an external rotation bias.
If you need a MedBridge subs...
I'm often asked, "How do you get buy-in with a coach or a team in your group testing, your pre-participation physical testing?" I will tell you, this actually goes to getting buy-in in just about anything.
See, we're so excited about what we're doing, whether that's group testing or a rehabilitat...
The question is, "Why do you emphasize that you should achieve full knee hyperextension after ACL reconstruction?" And I tell you what, I am shocked at this being such a hot button issue. The amount of pushback, the number of questions, the amount of, "Wow, I didn't even know that," from everybody...

Here is a question I received in Coaches Club
"I have a question about 3/2 asymmetries on the FMS. I understand that 3/1s and 2/1s are never accepted or acceptable. 3/2s are acceptable on shoulder mobility and pitchers because of the adaptations in the shoulder from throwing." I assume it refers to ...
Recently, I had a discussion with another University of Evansville faculty member about how much information I share through articles, videos, and social media. There's one reason I do that . . . I'm so passionate about what I do.
I don't know how to say this without it coming off as a humble brag or even just an outright brag. But I need to tell you something because I think there are some good lessons I learned from it and I want to share them with you.
I won the Berger Faculty Scholarship Award from the University of Evan...
