If you haven't done it, how can you prescribe it?

There is infinite value in trying new things and progressing in skills in order to hone your craft as a physio.

If you've never done a movement or experienced a position, how can you relate if someone comes in dealing with a problem in that shape?

Let alone how can you prescribe them appropriate rehab to get back to those things?

Always learning. Always growing.
Stay curious.

The best rehab sits on a double edged sword. The stuff that makes the biggest difference is normally also the stuff that has the biggest risk.

Hamstring tear? High speed running. Massively beneficial, also high risk.

Hurt back deadlifting? Deadlift. Build power and confidence in the position you got hurt.

Obviously time, case, and nuance is needed. You will never go out and sprint 100% the day after tearing your hamstring.

The same way you won't try a 1rm after tweaking your back.

But with the right progressions and build up, these exposures are ESSENTIAL to completing your rehab and making sure the issue doesn't come up again.

Most people think they have tight shoulders.

What they actually have…
is a stiff thoracic spine.

And the Sotts Press exposes that immediately.
Because it’s a positionally limited movement.

If you can’t get into the position…
you simply can’t complete the rep.

No cheating.
No hiding poor mobility.

Sitting in a squat locks the hips into flexion,
which blocks the lumbar spine from trying to extend and compensate.

So the movement has to come from the right places.
You need:
• Adequate shoulder flexion
• Strong thoracic extension
• Good overhead control

If those pieces aren’t there…
the bar isn’t going up.

Which is exactly why it’s such a powerful exercise.
It doesn’t just train mobility.
It demands it.

Save this and try it next upper session.
You’ll find out very quickly where your overhead mobility really sits.

New patient today in clinic.

What are we thinking here, team?

Come follow along Ben’s rehab gym day 👊

ACL.
MCL.
Meniscus repair.

Big surgery.

But now we build.

Testing showed clear deficits:
• Quads
• Lateral hip
• Calves

Today’s session was about:
Moving well.
Rebuilding coordination.
Attacking the weak links.

Early stage rehab isn’t about max weights.
It’s about owning positions.
Controlling tempo.
Restoring confidence in the limb.

Stack enough good sessions like this and the comeback takes care of itself.

If you’re post ACL and don’t feel 100% yet, this is your reminder:

Test.
Target.
Train with intent.

Save this. Send it to someone in rehab.

ReReturning to sport after syndesmosis surgery isn’t just about the ankle 👣

It’s about restoring confidence, output, and tolerance through the entire chain

This athlete is back running and loading again

But the calf and foot are taking a hit as volume ramps up

So we manage it 👇

Dry needling
Targeted manual therapy
Movement re-education

Not as the solution

But as a tool
Reduce tone
Settle pain

Improve motor output and decrease inhibition

Shoulder mobility fix

I’m tight. No denying it. Always have been.
But that doesn’t mean I can’t get better.

These are the tests I’m using as a litmus test for my shoulder range 👇

• Active shoulder flexion + abduction

• Wall angels
Great for overhead range and external rotation without cheating through the low back. Also a solid look at relative thoracic extension.

• Bridge / crab
A simple way to assess shoulder extension capacity.
If you’ve got tight shoulders, give these a shot.
Track them. Retest them. Progress them.

Good news đź‘€

These “tests” also double as excellent starting exercises.

Let’s get better together 🤝🤣
