Fun Fact Friday: Traveling this summer? If you're in a Florida beach town, you might be able to catch a baby sea turtle's journey from egg to sea! Mama sea turtles lay their eggs in June and July; about two months later their freshly hatched baby turtles begin their journey toward the ocean. This only occurs at night, but don't shine a light on them if you happen to witness it - it can affect their sense of direction and set them off course

While it is commonly known that baseball players often suffer from shoulder and elbow injuries incurred from their throwing action, the repetition of this unilateral movement can result in injuries elsewhere in the body. A 2018 study published in the Journal of Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy found that players who have low back injuries were associated with having knee pain. The study comprised a cross-sectional questionnaire involving 1,609 young baseball players aged 6-15 years of age. Knee pain was significantly associated with low back pain. Variables accounted for included s*x, age, body mass index, team levels, number of days of training per week, number of hours in practice per day on weekdays and weekend, frequency of participation in games, practice intensity, and player position.

This study is in agreement with clinical experience where indirect injuries can occur where disruption to biomechanics occurs elsewhere in the body. For example, if restricted range of motion occurs in the joints of the lower limb ie. ankle, knee or hip from a tight muscle or inactive prime movers, altered biomechanics may influence how the upper body compensates to achieve the same throw power and direction. Low back pain can occur when the body undergoes unaccustomed twists or turns where it doesn’t have adequate strength or mobility to do so.

Chiropractors treat injuries in all areas of the body and prescribe rehabilitation exercises. Progression of exercises is required to be sport specific, enabling the patient to return to sport once their bodies are rehabilitated and prepared for the specific demands of their sport

A 2019 meta-analysis by Wiewelhove et al. explored the effects of foam rolling on performance and recovery. Foam rolling is thought to improve muscular performance, flexibility, and alleviate muscle fatigue/soreness, and the objective of this study was to compare the effects of foam rolling before and after sprinting, jumping, strength performance, flexibility, and muscle pain outcomes. The authors concluded that pre-rolling seems to be an effective strategy for short-term improvements in flexibility without decreasing muscle performance. The author also noted an improvement of sprint performance, as well as the recovery rate of the performance measures of speed and strength

Happy Monday! For this week's exercise we have:

Single leg squat with a stepper: Stand on an elevated surface with the non working leg suspended in the air. Squat down until the suspended leg’s heel touches the ground and return back to the starting position. Repeat for a set of 10 and switch sides. Pick a height that you are comfortable with and add height as you start to make progress.

If you feel any discomfort with these, stop and shorten the range of motion or skip the exercise. This is meant to open up your joints, activate your glutes, and increase your range of motion. For more videos look for us every Monday or check out our YouTube page!

A 2020 paper by Cain et al. looked into four-week ankle rehabilitation programs in adolescent athletes with chronic ankle instability (CAI). The objective of the study was to determine the effectiveness of three rehabilitation programs on clinical measures of balance and self-reported function in adolescent patients with CAI. 43 patients with CAI were block randomized into four rehabilitation groups. Each rehabilitation protocol was completed three times per week for four weeks. The resistance-band group performed 3 sets of ten repetitions of ankle plantar flexion, dorsiflexion, inversion, and eversion. The Biomechanical Ankle Platform System group performed 5 trials of clockwise and counterclockwise rotations, changing direction every ten seconds during each 40-second trial. The combination group completed both resistance-band and Biomechanical Ankle Platform System. Lastly, the control group did not perform any exercises. The authors conclude that all 3 rehabilitation groups demonstrated positive outcomes when compared to the control group.

Happy Monday! For this week's exercise we have:

Single leg pelvis stability with yoga ball: Place a yoga ball between the outside of your knee and a wall. The leg against the yoga ball should be raised in the air with the knee and hip bent. Add a slight lean into the ball but the main pressure should come from abduction and external rotation of your leg into the ball. Squat down as much as you can while keeping the ball stabilized. Return to the starting position at the top and repeat for a set of 10 and switch sides.

If you feel any discomfort with these, stop and shorten the range of motion or skip the exercise. This is meant to open up your joints, activate your glutes, and increase your range of motion. For more videos look for us every Monday or check out our YouTube page!
