Lack of sleep can impair performance & increase injury risk 😴

It’s important to ask patients about sleep duration & quality. The Hooper Index can also be valuable for assessing fatigue, stress & sleep.

I think the combination of the modern day culture of having everything now coupled with the way the world of professional sports perpetuates the prestige of accelerated rehab has led to everyone losing patience with the rehab process.

Numerous studies now indicate a reduced re-injury risk and increased success on return to sport from a prolonged and consolidated rehab process.

I’d much rather every patient get better 10% every week than make a 50% improvement in a week and then plateau.

Let’s make sure to understand that there’s a fundamental difference between optimal rehab and fast rehab.

3 sets of repeated chair stands (5 or 10 reps per set), 3 times per week.

Sound feasible?

Over 8 weeks, this was enough to improve:

Muscle thickness: ⬆️8-9%
Muscle quality index: ⬆️40-45%
Relative sit-to-stand power: ⬆️29-38%

Resistance training doesn’t have to be fancy to be effective.

If making time to regularly reflect is one of your goals for 2022, you might find Gibbs' reflective cycle useful as a set of prompts to help focus your thinking.

If you are a PT and are finding it difficult to develop your clinic reasoning/subjective assessment I recommend the SINSS model 👇
