🦄 BOSTON 🦄

Let me just start by saying
CONGRATULATIONS!

To each of you who ran Boston 2022- wow, what an accomplishment.

You each trained extremely hard, you put in the work and effort, some of you overcoming injuries and various battles throughout these last few months.

Regardless of the times, I hope it was a beautiful moment for each of you and I hope it’s not the last time you each toe the start line and climb heartbreak hill.

Thank you for allowing me to play a very small role in your journey. I truly enjoy each session we spend together. My job is the easy part- you guys put in the work!

Rest, bask in your accomplishment.
You did it!
💙💛

| Plantar Fasciitis |

🙋🏻‍♀️ Raise your hand if you’ve ever been told you had plantar fasciitis.

Plantar fasciitis is a very common diagnosis especially within the athletic population, and if you’ve ever dealt with it before then you know how irritating it can become.

And while a few stretches and frozen water bottle for an ice massage may provide relief, it’s just as important to understand the causes, symptoms and possible ways to treat.

REGULAR EXERCISE CAN INCREASE BRAIN FUNCTION UP TO 15%!
•
In a study completed in Australia over the course of 13 years, researchers found that with regular moderate-intensity exercise, both men and women had increased brain function and with regular vigorous-intensity exercise the brain functioned only increased more- up to 15%.
•
Why is this important?
- As we age, cognitive function tends to decline and can lead to a number of changes and increased risk for diseases such as dementia.
- While the WHO recommends 150 minutes of moderate level exercise per week, only about 15% of Australians meet these physical guidelines.
- We should be promoting healthy lifestyles built around exercise at a young age, rather than attempting to build habits later in life.

Almost all of us generally include some sort of resolution about exercise, weight, staying injury free, running a new race, etc.
•
But how many of us keep and reach those yearly goals?
•
So, here are a few helpful hints to help you get there!

1. Make your goals realistic!
2. Plan your weeks before they happen.
3. Write your goals down
4. Create both short and long term goals
5. COMMUNITY is key!

Gratitude.
•
A year ago I was trying to do the whole stay at home mom thing. Attempting to juggle a one year old was challenging, but I couldn’t help but feel a void.
I had left the work field after feeling burnt out and thought spending some time at home would be the answer.
But what turns out is that my work had lacked any joy. Yes I suppose I could say I was happy at work, but joy?
•
Fast forward to this past weekend.
Standing on the sidelines I witnessed passion, persistence, and determination.
I witnessed 26.2 miles from a completely different viewpoint.
And I felt joy.
Pure joy, seeing so much success out of these individuals.
My part was small. Minuscule in comparison to what each of these athletes endured.
But this is truly why I can say I love my job.
For these moments, these PRs, these BQs.
Man it makes it ALL worth it!
So thank you to each of you who trusted me during your training this marathon season, who let me play a very small role.
“You put in the work. I just gave you the tools.”
Y’all were inspirational, simply phenomenal, and true warriors.
Here’s to the next race!
💙🙏🏽💪

(I know there’s more of you but I can only fit in so many photos 💙)

🔑 PRE-OP IS KEY!
•
🏈 More often then not, especially in collegiate and professional sports, athletes who suffer an ACL tear receive immediate and prompt care. Many times the process from on-field tests to imaging to surgery can happen within a matter of days.
•
⁉️ The idea of course is the faster we repair the knee, the faster they can get back on the field right?
•
🤔 But are we doing more harm than good?
•
📚 This study shows the lingering effects of quad weakness 2 years after surgery.
•
❓ So what’s the solution then?
Should the pre-operative tests instead include a measurement of quad strength? Should there be a strength requirement prior to surgery?
•
💡 Yes, it may delay repair initially, but it may create better long term outcomes.
•
🗣 I think this is a valid conversation, one that many student athletes, recreational athletes, and professional athletes should have with their orthopedist, physical therapist, and coaches.
•
❗️ As physios, how can we advocate for our athletes?
•
❗️ With such available research, why do you think this is still not a common practice? Or is it?

🔥 CORE ACTIVATION!
•
🧠 In this particular study, the researchers compared the level of abdominal activation of various Swiss ball exercises.
•
💡 The lowest activation was seen in a traditional sit up and a seated march.
•
⭐️ The greatest levels of activation occurred in

1️⃣ The Pike
2️⃣ The Roll-Out
3️⃣ The Knee-Up
4️⃣ The Skier
•
❓ So what does this mean for you?!
•
💪 Give them a try! Experiment with which feel the best for you. Modify if needed. Decide which might be the most functionally related to your daily life.

🧠 “Young Athletes Who Return to
Sport Before 9 Months After ACL Reconstruction Have a Rate of
New Injury 7 Times That of Those
Who Delay Return.”
•
🗣 READ THAT AGAIN!
•
⭐️ Yes… 7 times!
•
👏🏽 I hope that stands out to you as significant!
•
🏆 And my hope for all athletes, even at the collegiate level, is that they can have open conversations with all parties- parents, surgeon, physical therapist, coach, team, and trainer regarding their timeline to return to sport.
•
🧠 That extra time can be crucial for continued strength training, a thorough return to sport program, confidence building, and overall success of the surgery.
•
🔑 Communication is key!

💧 ARE YOU STAYING HYDRATED?! 💧
•
•
🧠 A recent study showed that only 22% of adults were drinking the recommended amount of water each day.
•
🤔 As important as exercise and nutrition are to our body, so is hydration.
•
🌊 Water is necessary for our bodies to function optimally. Dehydration can effect our ability to focus, decrease performance, and lead to injury.
•
🏆 Remember: this means WATER! Not sodas, not carbonated drinks, WATER!
•
⭐️ Included are a number of reasons why drinking water is so important.

1️⃣ Joint Lubrication
2️⃣ Healthy Digestion
3️⃣ Prevents Dehydration
4️⃣ Promotes Healthy Kidneys
5️⃣ Flushes Out Body Waste
6️⃣ Boosts Skin Health
7️⃣ Cushions and Lubricates the Nervous System
8️⃣ Regulates Body Temp

⭐️ CLIENT TESTIMONIAL ⭐️
•
🎉 I always appreciate hearing from happy clients.
•
❗️ Injuries whether they’re acute or chronic can be frustrating, especially when all attempts to fix them have been unsuccessful.
•
🤓 My goal is always to listen, collaborate, and plan with every client.
•
📚 The treatment plan requires education and buy-in in order to achieve its best results.
•
❤️ I appreciate you for trusting me, Angela. We’re headed in the right direction!

❓ HAVE YOU EVER ROLLED YOUR ANKLE?! ❓
•
❗️Maybe you have called it a tweak.
❗️Maybe it was a simple ankle roll.
❗️You throw some ice on it, tape it for a few weeks, and shake it off.
•
🙅‍♀️
•
🧠 Check out the research!
•
📚 This study found that less severe ankle sprains had a higher risk of re-injury than more severe.
•
🔑 The Moral: EVERY ankle sprain is significant!
•
🦶 It’s important to regain full range of motion, strength, and balance after any sprain.
•
⭐️ Here are a few examples of common exercises after an ankle sprain:

1️⃣ 4-Way Ankle With Resistance
2️⃣ Heel Raises
3️⃣ Single Leg Balance
4️⃣ Ankle Stretch To Increase Dorsiflexion
