The keyboard warriors have found me!

I feel so honored 😝

But…. Contrary to my ignorant troll’s comment… Us DOCTORS OF PHYSICAL THERAPY worked our ASSES off for our DOCTORATE degree

And I’m proud of that.

So stay behind your keyboards all you want. I’m gonna be out here doing “doctor” things. 👩‍⚕️💁‍♀️

Thank you to all who support me, along with all the other DPTs doing tha thing!!

Happy Friday Everyone! 😎✌️🥳

Are you stretching your hamstrings in PT??

——— so if you’re any type of athlete, meaning a D1 level athlete to someone who plays pickleball or golf a few times a week, static stretching isn’t doing anything for you.

Yes, don’t get me wrong, they feel great. And if that’s your goal, is some pain relief, then by all means.

But if the goal is more mobility, not flexibility, then your program should include joint mobility, specifically loaded mobility.

Can you relate? Are you interested in learning more on this topic?

Anterior knee pain? …. Try these 👇👇👇

1. Wall sit. 10-30 seconds 3-5 times
2. Standing TKE. 5 seconds 2x15 reps.
3. Seated TKE. 5 seconds 2x15 reps.
4. Down Dog with band resistance. 5 seconds 2x8 reps.

Why do these work?
— Provides fluid motion which reduces swelling
— Activates quadriceps muscle which assists in end range knee extension, helping mobility, gait, functional activity
— Provides an analgesic effect in the body which reduces pain

Exercises that ARE NOT in my tool box when prescribing programs to my hip clients 👇👇👇

1. Static Hamstring stretches
……WHY? Do they feel good? Yep. Do they change hamstring length or hip mobility. Nope.

2. Leg Raises.
…..WHY? Isolated hip strengthening laying down is useful for one thing. Strengthening when someone cannot bear weight through their legs, ie, post surgical.

3. ITB stretches.
….WHY? You cannot “stretch” ITB tissue. It is a massively thick band of non contractile tissue in which multiple muscles insert into. It’s more effective to mobilize those muscles instead of the ITB

4. Clamshell exercise
….WHY?? Muscle tissue responds better to progressive loading, meaning weight through the extremity. The targeted muscle for this exercise, the glut med, is a pelvic stabilizer, which requires load to strengthen!

Tell me in the comments what other hip exercises you’ve been prescribed that sound a lot like these!

STOP 🛑 stretching your hips pleeeassse! …..

Stretching is only doing one thing for you… and that one thing is to provide temporary soreness/tightness feeling in the muscles surrounding your hip joints!

Stretching = temporary lengthening of soft tissue (muscle) fibers.

MOBILITY = changes in the joint structure allowing for more available motion, and more joint control in those end ranges of motion.

You get more JOINT MOBILITY, then MUSCLE LENGTHENING will follow.
