This is a video for my coaches and trainers out there. If you've ever had an athlete who is having pain with some of the movements in a workout or knee pain with the movements in the workout, a great movement modification is to take them into a lunge, but even in a lunge they can still have pain. This video is a modification video for someone who has knee pain with traditional movements and we were trying to find a way to help them to continue to work out and move around some of the pain. Check it out if you have any questions feel free to hit us up!

This is a summary of a clinical practice guideline on BMJ discussing the effectiveness of Shoulder Decompression Sugery. Overall takeaway: "The panal was confident that surgery provides no important benefit on pain, function, quality of life, and global perceived effect informed by moderate to high certainty evidence in a one year time frame." Read it yourself here: BMJ 2019;364:l294 or doi:10.1136/bmj.l294 If you like us doing these please let us know and tell a friend. Shout out to @icephysio for sending out great research and articles throughout the week. We came across this one, and many other ones, from them.

The hip hinge is the foundation of movement for almost everything we do. Often times when someone is injured we find that if we can correctly teach and train a hip hinge that translates into their life, not just during practice. Many times we can limit pain while training proper movement for rehabilitative purposes or training purposes (which are really one in the same). Also, hitting heavy weight doesn't automatically mean that you have a great hit hinge, there is always room to grow.

Today we are giving a shout out to the faithful athletes who participated in our Vulcan Run Summit yesterday at Protective Life. In this video we are flashing back to a conversation we had about breathing and breathing while running. Breathing while we are doing anything, is indicative of how efficient we are at that movement or pattern. The pattern we want to advocate is the pattern of feeling the belly then the chest then maybe the neck if we can enter that much of our capacity. But give it a watch and listen and hope you enjoy
