The problem with rehabilitation is the very definition of it. To “rehabilitate” means “to restore to a former capacity.” When it comes to injury rehabilitation, this implies that we are trying to restore someone’s health or capacity to the level they were at pre-injury. However, the state of health or physical capacity pre-injury was not […]
If you’ve been around “older” people, you’ve likely heard things like “getting old sucks” or “it’s just part of being old” when they discuss their aches and pains. As living organisms, we naturally degrade over time – we grow old, our skin loses elasticity, our muscles degrade, our joints wear down, etc. We call this

When there is a reduction in joint capacity, i.e. amount of useable range of motion, movement exploration becomes confined and variability in movement is restricted. Continually using the same confined range of motion leads to the same tissues becoming repetitively overloaded. Acute and chronic overloading of tendinous tissue can lead to tendon pathology – TENDINOPATHY.

“Cells live in a manifold existence. They are both complex biochemical information processing entities and mechanical objects that live within mechanically active environments. As our knowledge of the molecular mechanisms underlying mechanosensation and mechanotransduction improves, these mechanical and biochemical realities appear increasingly intertwined.” …. In therapy and training, an essential parameter we manipulate to induce

“How do you program mobility training and rehab? How many reps and sets? Frequency? Intensity? How do you program FRC mobility training within a standard strength and conditioning program?” The answer? “It depends.” However, this answer does not provide us with any useful information to apply to our practices. So, I will follow this question
