Excited to present again. Always wanted to help demistify some of the complexities around low back pain. Things I wish I knew when I graduated.

Last presentation of the day, too, so the pressure is on 😄

Two weeks in to National Athletic Trainers Month. This is a great profession that is ripe for positive change and some healthy shakeups. Here's an ex

Was working D3 and I had a long term rehab, but a coach told me I had to be at practice and they could rehab at a different time

New paper out. Those who met the criteria for RTS did not experience more injuries if they returned before 9 months or not. Also those who met the criteria were more likely to return to sport.

Make sure they're ready 🦵🦵🦵

Objective Most studies examining the time to return to sport (RTS) after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) do not account for the athlete’s physical readiness. This study aimed to inves...

No need to try and be super specific with SMT, not that we can anyway.

No need for a one must-do SMT. Do what you and the patient are comfortable with, explain what is likely/unlikely happening, and if you don't want to do it, don't really have to, either.

Joe Rogan’s theory of politics being “I’m just a little podcast man who just asks questions” is starting to ring hollow even for some folks in his audience.

Was just informed my presentation for the annual Wisconsin Athletic Trainers' Association was accepted! Back to back years, yee haw!

This year it'll be on taking some of the complexity out of low back pain.

A fun change of pace from everything shoulder 😄

If you're a runner, you may have heard the advice to avoid heel striking, and that it's better to forefoot strike, either in terms of running economy and/or injury risk. With the goal of less fearmongering in 2025, let's be clear here. There is no bad way. Heel striking is very common

As we get closer to 2025, many new people may be heading to the gym. One question that tends to come up is are machines or free weights better?

For strength, hypertrophy, and counter movement jumps there's no differences. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37582807

What are the effects of acute and chronic weightlifting with respect to diurnal disc changes and to the spine overall?
nature.com/articles/s41... looked at 2 groups, weightlifting (lift at least 4 times a week for last 5yrs) and non-weightlifting (no more than 2x a week for last 5yrs)

Covering hockey tonight. Only one more hockey game to cover after this.

I love covering athletics and I don't mind hockey, but the cold.. not a fan 😅

Bad form does not cause injury.

Read that again.

Bad form isn't necessarily bad when lifting and it likely isn't the cause of injuries. Form matters the most for efficiency, but not for injury. How prepared your tissues are to experience the loads placed upon it will play a big role in that.

Covered Ultimate Frisbee today. Haven't covered this sport in forever, was definitely a little pumped 🔥🤙

Spotify wrapped, no huge surprises for me

Sum 41, Eminem, Blink-182, Linkin Park and Three Days Grace 🔥

For the podcasts, yeah, that looks about right 🤙

Wish athletic training had more podcasts 😭
