TISSUE QUALITY . The concept of body tissues being “healthy” is often discussed in therapy and training practices. Is tissue quality determined by “macro” characteristics such as strength, flexibility, tension or fibrosis? . As these magnified fascia pictures help us see, micro dictates macro and the “tissue quality” is a by-product of the micro environment of its components. . These pictures show the fascia is a network of “water tubes”. The primary component of fascial tissue is WATER. The work of Dr. G. Pollack has shown us that water changes it’s fundamental composition when it lives inside our fascial tissues. In the fascia, water molecules undergo a constant transition from “free water” to “bound water”. Free water is what we commonly know as H2O and is in its most fluid state. But this is only one phase of water in the body, the other is when the water molecules bind with hydrophilic (water-loving) tissues such as collagen, another component of fascia. Once the water interacts with collagen, the water literally changes composition into H3O2 and becomes Gel-Water (bound water). . This is what Dr. Pollack calls the 4th Phase of Water and a major key to tissue quality. This Gel-water is more lubricating and behaves like a trampoline when compressed, making the tissues more viscoelastic and compliant to forces. . Exercise and manual techniques that influence hydrodynamics (fluid flow) can help stimulate this conversion at the deep tissue level and improve our tissue quality. Slow, long duration tissue stretching in manual therapy has been shown to stimulate these positive molecular-chemical changes in the tissue after 3 minutes of loading (Standley, Pollack). . Once established, the tissue can be more compliant to dynamic tissue loads such as those in athletics. One can’t have an optimal environment for healing or developing strength/mobility without this micro tissue quality! .

In my previous post, I went into detail about sciatica, why you may be experiencing it and what you need to do to fix it. Today I am going to be talking about the exercises that you would need to do so you can see a change.⁣ .⁣ STRETCHES⁣ .⁣ The stretches are designed to help stretch the piriformis, create balance in the pelvis, and help to take pressure off of the disc in the spine.⁣ .⁣ STRENGTH⁣ .⁣ As you can see there is one strength exercise but it is very important, it is designed to help strengthen the lower abdominals so it can help to flex the hips but also to create balance in the anterior portion of the pelvis so you won't have these types of issues again.⁣ .⁣ You could also do glute exercises like the glute bridge to help balance the posterior portion of the pelvis as well.⁣ .⁣ CONCLUSION⁣ .⁣ All of these exercises are very effective in helping sciatica but some may be more effective than others for the type of sciatica you are experiencing. So try them out and see which ones work.⁣ . Via @powerthroughmotion #myofascialrelease #sciatica .⁣ ‍♂️TAG A FRIEND THAT COULD USE THIS

ACTIVE RECOVERY . If you are unfamiliar with the term "active recovery", it describes doing some form of low intensity, low volume work to move around between training sessions and help you feel better. . Now, when it comes to recovery, we need to check our top tier boxes first. ✔ Adequate Rest ✔ Fatigue Management In Your Programming ✔ Quality Sleep ✔ Good Nutrition & Hydration ✔ Manage Psychological Stressors . Now after that, you get more into the things that just make you feel good, something I call Subjective or Perceived Recovery. . Here, everyone will be a bit different. Some people feel best if they lay on the couch and have a "do nothing" day. Others need to move around in order to not feel stiff. Neither is right or wrong as long as it leaves you feeling restored. . Active recovery encompasses that latter end of the spectrum. . What you do here is largely up to you and what makes you feel best. This little hip routine is one I've done before, but my daily routine is to just go for a walk in the morning and evening. . Others prefer some light cardio, bodyweight movement work, dynamic stretching, or something like yoga. Basically, do whatever makes you feel restored. . But...don't make it so intense that it interferes with the end goal, which is restoration. Some yoga classes will kick your butt, and it's not all stretching and deep breathing. And I've seen some "light cardio" quickly turn into a moderate sweat session that impairs the next day's performance. . As always, keep the goal the goal. . Many people feel better when they move around. Whether that is physical or psychological, if it helps you, give it a go with some active recovery. Check off your top tier boxes first, then focus on the cherries on top, and keep yourself performing and progressing. . Tag a friend with stiff hips and share the wealth! . #Prehab101

Heeey everyone! Good morning and happy hump day ✨ Last night I was thinking about how far I’ve came on this journey - and most importantly all of the good people I’ve met, times I’ve had and opportunities I’ve been given. Lots of my family and close friends have actually said to me - “this accident was the making of you”. The making of a stronger and more outspoken young woman. Before all of this whirlwind, I was just plodding along, and not really making a difference to anything I would of wished or aimed for. Now I find myself giving talks to children in schools about disability awareness, recording interviews with BBC news and receiving hundreds of messages each week from people in similar situations thanking me for finding someone who they can relate to. I set up this page to keep everyone informed of my progress, but it’s evolved into an awareness platform, a support line and just generally a nice place to speak with other people from all over the world . My wheelchair does no longer define me - which is something I have struggled with since December 2017. These past two weeks have been a HUGE turning point for me, and I can’t thank you all for helping me on this wonderful journey. I hope you all have a happy and positive day ‍♀️✨ • • • • • #adayinthelife #hartlepool #nebloggers #recovery #recoveryaccount #thenandnow #transformation #northeast #newcastle #blogger #wheelchair #fbloggers #lbloggers #bbloggers #imahincher #cleaningblog #lifestyleblogger #lifethroughmylens #physiotherapy #hydrotherapy #lfl #wheelchairgirl #wheelchairblogger #paralysis #physio #hydro

[ FAI ] --- Let's talk about FAI FAI is the abbreviation for Femoroacetabular impingement. Femur=thigh bone, acetabulum is the socket, and impingement is a scary sound word for physical contact on two structures. There's two main types of FAI. CAM morphology is essentially over coverage the head/neck of the femur. And pincer morphology is essentially over coverage of the acetabulum. Either one can theoretically lead to symptoms of hip impingement, however factors that differentiate which person will be symptomatic are unclear. As FAI is a movement oriented condition, biomechanics and anatomy may play an an important role. A recent SR that I was reading by King et al concluded: ► There is moderate evidence that people with FAI walk with a lower peak hip extension angle, peak hip internal rotation angle and external rotation joint torque, with no difference in peak hip flexion angle in stance. ► There is moderate evidence that people with FAI are unable to squat as deep as controls; however, this is not due to a difference in hip flexion range of motion. Reduced hip extension may just be a strategy to reduce load on the anterior hip during walking. And the lack of IR may just be to avoid painful positioning. (probably not a cause and effect relationship) Exercise ideas: 1️⃣ Hip ROM 2️⃣ Hip extension 3️⃣ Banded joint distraction movements --  Are these exercises the answer to FAI? Absolutely not. Can they help? Maybe. Are they what YOU need? The only way to tell would be an individual assessment. -  Now accepting new patients - in person and remote online consultations.

ACL Rehab Reactive Cutting ——- In the later stages of rehab, working in sport specific exercises is important to ensure full recovery. I strive to incorporate different reactive cutting drills that helps them regain confidence. I believe that the more athletes are able to rehab at this level, the more confident they’ll be when they go back to playing sports. ——- Here are two exercises I like to use to work on reaction and cutting. 1️⃣ The first one requires some explosiveness as she has to push against the band while responding to the color I’m calling out. 2️⃣ The second one requires her to the color I call out and quickly get to that cone. You’ll also hear me calling out multiple colors to add an additional challenge. I also like this drill as they have to think about where each color is and adding in a cognitive component is always a positive. ——- Tag someone who could use these exercises!

ACL Rehab - knees over toes isn’t bad! ——- ⚠️ No knees were harmed during the filing of these videos ⚠️ ——- This is definitely one of the more frustrating things I see in ACL rehab. I’ve had multiple patients come in and tell me their previous PTs/ATs, etc tell them their knees aren’t allowed to go past your toes. This usually will lead to the quad never being properly loaded and cause apprehension to certain positions when the knee has to go over the toes, i.e. going down stairs. ——- If you watch any sports game, are the athletes knees never past their toes? It’s something that needs to be carefully introduced but should be done fairly early in rehab and should be done with both feet on the ground first. ——- Here are two early to mid stage exercises I like to use to introduce this type of motion. I never want pain when doing these exercises. 1️⃣ Lateral heel touch - one of the more foundational eccentric exercises I like to use. We’re using the foam roller as an external cue and I told her to tap the foam roller with her knee. 2️⃣ TRX Bulgarian split squat - using the TRX to take some load off while still encouraging the knee to come forward. —— If you’re a physical therapist, physio, athletic trainer, strength coach, etc that regularly works with ACL patients and wants to learn more from me, shoot me a DM! ——- Tag someone who would like these exercises!
