My Perspective

on April 14, 2009 | by

I’m begging you – please, don’t send me links to hate any more. I don’t care if someone trashes me on their blog, in their newsletter, or following an article that I’ve written.

Back Pain Knowledge BOMBS

Today’s compilation of quotes is brought to us courtesy of the amazing Shirley Sahrmann. If you’re in the industry and haven’t picked up her book, Diagnosis and Treatment of Movement Impairment Syndromes, it should definitely be your next pick-up. It’s a great resource.

Q&A: Passive Knee Stability

on April 7, 2009 | by

Mike – I’ve torn my ACL; what are the repercussions if I don’t get it repaired? Thanks! When we talk about the role of the ACL, we have to discuss the difference between the active and passive stabilizers which surround your knee. Passive stabilizers don’t contract, yet restrict motion and keep your joint “tight.” These […]

Testimonial: Bulletproof Knees

on April 2, 2009 | by

Here’s a testimonial that I recently received. Kane came to me a little over a month ago with some pretty debilitating knee pain, and, well, I think the testimonial speaks for itself. Here goes: As a college basketball player I suffered through 4 years of knee pain, which never allowed me to preform at my […]

Hip Dysfunction = Knee Pain

on March 31, 2009 | by

I can’t tell you how many times myself (or Bill) evaluates a client at IFAST with knee pain and there’s associated hip dysfunction. It may not be 100%, but it’s pretty damn close! Hip mobility is absolutely vital when it comes to knee AND low back health. In fact, there’s research out there that correlates […]

Why do you keep getting injured?

on March 24, 2009 | by

Do you ever wonder why you continue to get injured when training? Now I’m sure you expect me to go on some sort of diatribe about muscle imbalances, poor posture, poor mobility, etc. And while those are all valid reasons, that’s not what I want to talk about today. Two of the most common reasons […]

The Three Pillars

on March 23, 2009 | by

(Originally posted at www.IFASTOnline.com) So I’ve got an admission to make – I watch the Biggest Loser. It’s not so much for the heartwarming stories and pop psychology, though. I watch it because I know my clients watch it. And I want to know what’s going in to their minds regarding strength training, fat loss, […]
