The Shoulder: Literally Everything A Patient Should Know Before Rehab

SHOW NOTES I realized since I soon will have a good friend/ expert on shoulder rehab on the show, I should set the preface with what the shoulder actually is. Although there are no pictures on this podcast, I strongly suggest you see my entire article on the shoulder at http://www.p2sportscare.com/shoulder-pain-pitching/ . What exactly are we going into this session? We are hitting all of the types of structures of the shoulder such as: the bones, the cartilages, the ligaments, the tendons, the rotator cuff and the "non-rotator cuff" muscles. We also go into the concept of expansion of a rotator cuff tear and how 66% of rotator cuff tears actually do not produce pain. Lastly, I touch on the topic of some light pitching/ throwing mechanics for you overhead athletes out there.

Ultrasound Imaging Of The Knee. Diagnosis And Needle Guidance With Mike Jablon

Where Have All Of The Experts Gone?

SHOW NOTES I had an incident that spurred this topic, so if I am fired up I apologize. I recently landed myself onto a public forum to answer some questions posed by fellow weekend warriors. I spent a few hours answering questions to the best of my ability… naturally I thought I could be the best help to everyone by answering the questions on injuries. I answered about 5 questions and within a few minutes I was criticized for posting as a "healthcare professional." Still frustrated, I have not been in that very popular forum since… why? Because, the moderator said healthcare professionals were not allowed to answer as anything but "peers." Odd huh?! Wouldn't you want the advice from a healthcare professional if you had an injury? In this session, I brainstorm where you can still find experts posting and sharing advice if they are not in forums and how you can still find good information on the web.

The Hip And Pelvic Floor With Tim Fleisher

SHOW NOTES Tim Fleisher and I met years ago at an Ironman Treatment event on Kona HI years ago and we have been friends since. The thing about Tim is he is extremely well-rounded in his knowledge about the human body. He teaches human anatomy at a major university. He instructs for Stott Pilates. He fits bikes for triathletes. He performs Active Release deep tissue work at a college level. But to top it off he is working on his PhD working in a lab finding a possible correlation between the pelvic floor and the piriformis muscle. That's a lot of background. So I wanted him on the show to give us all a comprehensive look at the importance of the hip, pelvic floor and low back, while focusing on triathlete performance and injury. You can reach Tim on his website timfleisher.com or email him at [email protected] .

Frustrated Sports Hernia Caller

SHOW NOTES I had a listener leave a message for me about their sports hernia. They have been dealing with it for almost a year. They tried therapy 3x a week for month and it never got better. Now he is at the point where they would like to have the sports hernia surgery… but surprise… their insurance won't cover it. They call it "experimental." the going cost is around $10k. This is not a live call but I do my best to give advice. It's tough when we are weighing the dollars and cents of "is it worth it." If you want to know more about Sports Hernia, I have a whole page with current research references here http://www.p2sportscare.com/sports-hernia/

Lifting And Golfing Hip Rehab With Meghan Helwig

SHOW NOTES Dr. Meghan Helwig is a Doctor of Physical Therapy I met at a seminar a few years ago while in Boston. At the time, I actually had a knee injury I was suffering from so between the sessions I asked her to take a look at it. I was blown away by her troubleshooting ability and how she was about to look beyond the places I hurt. This is what we are going to talk about in this session. Using your past history and past injuries to solve your current hip pain from lifting and/or golfing. Dr. Helwig specializes in both sports and personally takes part in both for her own leisure… all while having a hip labral tear. Awesome! Here is a rough idea of what we covered in the hour: Most common hip injury in lifting and golf LIFE HACK: How to assess your own hip function How treating scars of ligaments can improve your game The process of doing corrective exercise just after treatment Apologies from me... as I want to make sure no certifying bodies think we are bashing them :) You can reach Dr. Helwig at http://www.primalstrengthpt.com/ . Reach out to her if you are in Northern San Diego CA. Her Instagram handle is @primalstrengthdoc. Visit our site for references on this session http://www.P2SportsCare.com .

Hip Injury Mechanics: Must Know Before Surgery

SHOW NOTES In this session, I go over everything you need to know to interpret what your doctor, physical therapist or sports chiropractor is talking about before rehab of the hip. Communication and common terminology is extremely important for compliance of a treatment plan. Compliance means you will stick to the plan. This sounds like I am treating patients as children and I don't mean that at all, but it's extremely common for people to not value what they don't understand. You need understand why a certain treatment plan is recommended for your condition. It all starts with common terminology. So on that note, we will go through: Anatomy of the hip (bones, ligaments, tendons, muscles) Mechanics of the hip (open and closed chain) Some analogies to assist in your understanding Open and closed chain mechanics If you want to get one of the best books of anatomy, try the Netters Coloring Book http://amzn.to/2m58g2B . It has proven to be very helpful in learning anatomy and very cheap. The Netters larger book is the book 99% of rehab practitioners learn anatomy from in school. http://amzn.to/2mokcir Enjoy!

Runner's Knee And Meniscus Tear Rehab With Davis Koh

SHOW NOTES In this session, we start into some physical therapy and rehab concepts for knee conditions plaguing runners. I could have chosen a few physical therapist to answer my questions but Dr. Davis Koh was one of my top picks. To be fair, I would have could have had Dr. Koh speak about many different types of injuries so I will have to have him on again one day. Dr. Koh is a good friend of mine and extremely decorated as a Doctor of Physical Therapy. He has traveled with a few US Olympic teams, treated professional athletes from the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, and so much more. He has much knowledge to share but I tried to pin him down to these two: Runner's Knee (aka Chondromalacia Patella, Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome) Meniscus Tears We will go over what these two injuries are, how they occur, how rehab typically goes, do they need surgery, some treatment available and much more. Dr. Koh also gives us some info on IASTM (Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization). Below are some links some of the tools and sites he suggested.
