Struggling with your rehab or a nagging pain and want some help? Send us a message and let's get in touch. We think that, many times, they shouldn't be altogether very different. Then you read an article about some strength workout that may be good to do, and the guy down the street says you need to be. Your coach may say one thing, but your physical therapist says another. There is a lot of conflicting information in the running world. One of the unique thing about us at Limitless partnering with gyms such as CrossFit Reviver is that we get to explore ways to merge FITNESS with REHAB. Golden Endurance aims to be your resource for endurance training and development. And we love weaving in challenging exercise because we see relevant & sport-specific moves like this help our patients each and every day much more than yellow theraband and ball squeezes. We love using sled pulls to challenge terminal knee extension when the "basic" and lower level exercises just aren't cutting it. Hands on treatments, Functional Dry Needling, Video Biomechanical analysis, and IASTM are just a few of the ways that Endurance Physical Therapy can serve. *genetic factors that limit joint mobility hamstrings are ACTUALLY tight.more on that another day) *significantly increased guarding/protective response by the bottom end of the hamstrings as they attach behind the knee (a.k.a. *poor neuromuscular control over the quadriceps muscle post-surgically (pretty common) This stiffness/control problem can be due to a whole laundry list of reasons, including (but definitely not limited to). Have you ever had to deal with this kind of a problem after a knee issue? □□□□□ □□□□.Ī common problem post-surgically that we see in knees (multiple kinds of procedures) is stiffness and/or loss of control in the very end range of knee extension - in other words, people lack the mobility and/or the control over fully straightening their knee. Be sure to assess a patient's posture and segmental mobility in the cervical spine. This may lead you to think of some impairments that are contributing to the patient’s pain. They tend to over-utilize other muscles (platysma, hyoid muscles, and especially the sternocleidomastoid) for postural maintenance, which leads to the commonly seen position of forward head postures-a position we commonly see in those who use computers frequently or engage in sedentary activity on a regular basis. Importance of the Test: Those with neck pain were found to have significantly decreased deep neck flexor endurance, average of 21.4 seconds (“Reliability of a measurement of neck flexor muscle endurance”). Normal Values: Men: 38.9 seconds, Women: 29.4 seconds (“The Deep Neck Flexor Endurance Test: normative data scores in healthy adults”). The examiner looks for substitution of the platysma or SCM muscle. Performing the Test: Tuck patients chin in and lift off table 1 inch. Purpose: To assess the endurance of the deep neck flexors (Rectus Capitus Anterior, Rectus Capitus Lateralis, Longus Capitus, Longus Colli - “Muscle specificity in tests of cervical flexor muscle performance”).
