6 tips for new runners:

2. Let go of expectations
3. Enjoy it
4. Don’t be afraid to walk
5. Listen to your body.
6. Vary your pace. Mostly easy. Sometimes hard.

Denny Kellington a REAL LIFE HERO. He performed CPR on Damar Hamlin on the field and was crucial in saving his life.

Is your tendon pain not going away?

Have you had it get better and then worse for the last 3 months?

Tendons NEED load to get better.

Tendons don't need more ice, tape, rest, massage, needles, bands, straps.

If you are having tendon pain....

LOAD the tendon.

@clh_strength Not understanding metabolic systems and which ones you should prioritize for your sport. I.e pole running in baseball 🤢

[Addam Kitchen ATC @KitchenDAT_ATC]

@TomBroback Do you do this with rest or can you perform them prior to practices and get the same result?

[Addam Kitchen ATC @KitchenDAT_ATC]

@ATCanonymous From a D3 perspective, I’d say hours even above pay. My pay wasn’t terrible, but the hours sucked. They have to equate to some degree and getting 1-2 Sundays off a month doesn’t cut it when you’re also traveling all year for away games each season.

Athletic trainers: GET AN ANATOMY APP ON YOUR PHONE. 6 years ago I paid $20 for a solid reputable app. I use it almost daily. It makes patient education so much better.

When an injury makes sense to the patient, they buy in 1000x more to both you as a clinician & their care.

Imagine spending 20 minutes on 40 minutes off on any other area of development. The possibilities are endless.

Positive approach turns problems into lessons while a negative approach turns problems into roadblocks - your choice because we all have problems

Vaccination helps provide immunity before kids are exposed to potentially life-threatening diseases. And if you have a chronic condition like asthma or diabetes, vaccine-preventable diseases like flu & pneumonia can lead to serious complications. Protect yourself-get vaccinated!

“...he’s battling myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart muscle. The team said the condition stemmed from his battle with coronavirus...”

The team did a RTP and detected abnormalities. ALL athletes should do an RTP following a symptomatic case before returning to athletics.

My student has been struggling a bit w/ confidence in his exercise prescription/selection.

So I made him a very simplified flow chart.

And now I’m posting it on Twitter cause I think it’s important to remember to not get too “cute” with rehab and remember the basics 💪🏼
