  • Q & A for The 16% – Elbow Valgus Explained and Treatment/Training Strategies

    Q & A for The 16% – Elbow Valgus Explained and Treatment/Training Strategies

    I finally got a good elbow question that will shed some light on why it’s not so different from any other joint.

    Hope you have your @neurocoffee in hand.

    From John:

    I have heard you mention how examining relative motion at the elbow is very similar to the knee. I have had great success utilizing the knee mobilization you posted for individuals who are unable to capture tibial IR on their own. Could the same concept be applied at the elbow? Is a “valgus” carrying angle at the elbow the same as knee “valgus” as you have previously described?

  • Q & A for the 16% – Single Leg Stance Hip Mechanics

    Q & A for the 16% – Single Leg Stance Hip Mechanics

    Here’s a great question to lead into the weekend on some pelvic-hip mechanics and recognizing how one manages the propulsive phase of gait. Hope you’ve got your @neurocoffee in hand.

    From Mikhael:

    If someone is standing on one leg (left) and another leg is flexed in hip and knee 90 degrees then the standing leg’s hip is excessively externally rotated abducted and extended. Why is it and what to do with it?

  • Q & A for The 16% – A Runner with IT Band Syndrome… Really?

    Q & A for The 16% – A Runner with IT Band Syndrome… Really?

    I think the representation of the IT Band is still misunderstood even though we have some good dissection information that should have clarified things 14 years ago.

    Hope you have your @neurocoffee handy.

    From Tony:

    I have a runner diagnosed with a right IT Band friction syndrome where he gets pain with running at the lateral knee. We’ve made some progress but he’s still unable to run much distance without increasing pain. He doesn’t have much pain with normal activities. He’s got a bit of a varus knee, limited hip IR, a pronated foot, weak gluteus medius, but pretty decent dorsiflexion. When we work on these things, he gets better but we can’t make the changes stick. Any ideas?

  • Q & A for The 16% – Manipulating Propulsion with The Camporini Deadlift

    Q & A for The 16% – Manipulating Propulsion with The Camporini Deadlift

    I’ve been delaying this one for a while, so I could include some video demonstrations via my amazing technical wizardry. It’s good one, so grab a cup of @neurocoffee and enjoy today’s Q&A.

    From Josh:

    Are there variations of the Camporini deadlift? I feel like I’ve seen it with the front foot toes elevated, back foot toes elevated, ipsilaterally loaded, as well as contralaterally loaded. Can you explain when you would use these variations?
