Personally, I kind of like adding a little flavor to how I serve athletes and patients. When it comes to evaluation methods, I try to look outside, around, and beyond the box to figure out how the tools I have can be the component that gives them a solution; when I upgrade my manual therapy skills, I look for holes in my treatment methods to fill; and when it comes to rehabilitation, I try to find ways that can give them a little more boost to their intentional movement flows.
With that in mind, I’d like to share a a little bit of secret sauce to make your rehab a little more flavorful and meaningful.
If your people think prone T's and Y's (or any other alphabet you have them do) is "boring" and not sexy enough, then put a little 'twist' on their outlook. This video will teach them to make a judgement on the skills & drills you prescribe ... muhahaha!!
You may know about this next tip, but thought I’d share it anyways. Below is a quick video that shares a slight change in the popular, and often "boring," external rotation movement flow. My perspective is - the more you can access tissues through a wider range of motion, the better capacity to handle a wider range of perturbations, equating to a wider range of movement solution to your system can choose from.
Please let me know what you think about these tips!
Change your mindset … Change your perspective … life is much better when you have an outlook that creates opportunity.
