Applying long term athletic management and preventative healthcare strategies to public safety professionals.

14/11/2022

2ish years ago I heard on a podcast that if you start training Jiu Jitsu your life will improve.

I can’t say that’s true for everyone, but it’s been true for me.

Maybe it’s being around other tenacious men and women.

Maybe it’s the routine and structure.

Maybe it’s the introspection that getting physically and mentally beat up by another person gives.

Maybe it’s the coach and student relationship.

Maybe it’s the process of mental and motor skill acquisition and performance under stress.

I can’t put my finger on what it is, but my life keeps getting better and better the longer i stay on the mats with

Big and awesome changes are coming!

What criteria should be met before you go back into the field after an injury?

It depends.
It depends on the injury.
It depends on what your duties are in the field.
It depends on your professional limiting equipment like vests, boots, helmets, SCBA’s and med bags.

You are an athlete.

When coming off an injury and back into the field your return to sport testing should resemble that of an athletes and not a traditional workman’s comp claim and a departments fitness test.

I’ve been a fan and follower of for a long time now. On this podcast he touches on a topic that is well known in the PT/DC/ATC world regarding working with professional athletes.

There is lots of pressure put on therapist when working with professional athletes to simply ‘just don’t hurt them’.

This is because athletes are valuable and when they get hurt it costs money.

IA thinks that police, firefighters, EMTs, and nursing staff are just as valuable as professional athletes. When they get hurt it not only costs money but lives are put on the line.

We put that same pressure on our vetted manual therapist. They understand and know the gravity of working with our athletes and how serious we take their musculoskeletal health.

Just like in medic school,
‘Do no harm’ is our number one priority with all of our athletes.

With the support of and Dr. Vawter was sponsored to attend the annual Process of Integrating Evidence for Educators this past weekend. This conference is targeted at teachers, helping them interpret, vet, and communicate modern research and combine it with the evidence based model for our students.

Understanding how to vet and interpret modern research is one of the most important things IA does in an effort to vet the evidence based musculoskeletal providers that IA relies upon to achieve common metrics and goals.

Public safety professionals and Heath care workers are deserving of this kind of vetting process, collaborative management and quality of care just like professional athletes.

Public safety is a demographic that struggles with chronic pain. is spot on with the importance of strength training as a very successful tool in chronic pain management.

That being said. This picture is complex, the application of load needs to be individualized, structured, and monitored closely for strength training to be a successful tool to manage chronic pain in populations with lots of risk factors. Poor sleep quality and quantity, poor diet, hormone imbalances, depression, ptsd, and burnout all complicate the application of strength training in pain patients.

would agree, if you aren’t sleeping, eating, managing stress and mental health it will change the effectiveness of strength training as a tool to manage chronic pain.

An awesome post about the complexity of load management in our daily lives from

When non contact injuries happen it’s important to look at that patients entire ‘bucket’ and recognize that their clinical picture doesn’t stop at acute injury phase of the individual.
