You don’t need a long program to learn how to treat sports injuries. As long as you have your foundation, you can easily learn shoulder mechanics, and how to treat shoulder injuries for a number of different types of injuries and athletics.
Locals members get 10% off all online courses and in-person seminars! This includes the online sports course and the in-person Advanced Extremity and Case Study seminar in Mesa, Arizona, September 13 through the 15th!
I have a whole slew of new people with neurological stuff: Parkinson's, dystonia, neuropathies, cranial nerve pathologies, etc. I want to learn more about how to treat these conditions -- what resources (either here in locals or elsewhere) should I check out? If anyone in this group studied these in depth, I'd love to hear what made a difference for you.
@Exstoreman: in the MP Manual, I am assuming “cephalic” and “superior” are not used interchangeably. I am specifically looking at anterior glut med as it is one of the few MP that I still sometimes have to redirect the needle for.
The location is: find greater trochanter and progress in a cephalic direction moving superiorly 4 inches and posterior one inch. In this example, what is the difference between “cephalic” and “superior”?
Thank you!- Angela
Hi @Exstoreman , I have a male 24yo patient with left heel pain for 1 year. Has been diagnosed with calcaneal bursitis. It’s swollen and red. He plays high level soccer and trained 4x/week plus games on the weekend. The heel feels worse during and after games/training. Feels better for ice baths after games. He’s had physio, cortisone injection which did help but the problem came back. He’s also had the same problem on the right side it that has subsided and not returned after cortisone injection.
The shape of his heel may make him prone to more friction from his shoes . He’s got new orthotics which don’t seem to be helping.
He initially presented with bilateral psoas and GMin inhibition. Corrected with motor point acu and psoas pecking. Also addressed soleus and gastroc MP, inline technique along the Achilles, plus soft tissue work around the Achilles and calves. Also used Lectric washing soda compress to draw out the fluid.
We’ve had 7 sessions so far and he’s maybe 20% ...
