I know my primary care colleagues feel this…

Important for parents to consider!

I've been very outspoken in my criticism of the baseball showcase industry as a direct contributor to the escalating injury rates we're seeing in young players. And thanks to this study, we have some even more eye-opening data that demonstrates this trend. And keep in mind that there is an element of "survivorship bias" in play here; most of the players who got injured never made it to the top 5 rounds of the MLB draft.

We're seeing players participate in more showcases, and they're doing so at younger ages. That's a bad combination.

Whether it’s in the gym or in the clinic…language matters!!
⠀
Sure, if someone is in pain or they’re stalling on progress in the gym, they usually want a reason as to why…and you can certainly talk about that!
⠀
BUT…
⠀
It shouldn’t be the main focus of the session. A client should ALWAYS leave the first session feeling empowered and hungry for more.
⠀
Words of encouragement vs. wagging a finger and telling people all that is “wrong” with them can go a long way!

While we sure love our deadlifts, we can't underestime the power of aerobic exercise too!

We all know of the potent cardiovascular benefits of aerobic exercise...but did you know it can also help decrease pain?

In Volume 12 of our Research Roundup series (live TODAY), reviews a new 2022 study by Tan et al titled "Does aerobic exercise effect pain sensitization in individuals with musculoskeletal pain? A systematic review"

Just finished “Subvert” by Dan Cleather and though I still have to work through some things in I’m my minds-eye, it’s an important read and one I recommend. Initially I struggled because of the challenge to my 30 years of professional experience, but I’ve learned that when I get this feeling, there is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow if I stay the course. Published just before the pandemic, it is like Cleather knew what was about to happen. Finally, I will offer that it would be to the benefit of all for each of us to step outside of our echo-chambers occasionally.
