Distraction forces on the shoulder are >100% body weight when pitching.

If you weigh 200 lbs, that means your shoulder is being pulled away from your torso with >200 lbs of force.

Pick the heavier weight (with good form) for your shoulder program this summer.

Our first Sports cohort graduated just a few short weeks ago and will be dearly missed! We're so proud and are happy to say both will be staying on at MOR. You can find them providing both rehabilitation and sports performance services at our Bensenville clinic! Congrats!!

Special thank you to @AA_Misenheimer and @MutholamRehab for all of the hard work they put into this residency. Thank you as well to the @whitesox and the @chicagosteel medical staff for being so welcoming this season!

I officially finished my sports residency with Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush! I am so grateful for all the opportunities they provided for me. I am excited to see what doors open for me in the future with the experiences and connections I made during this time.

[Brooks Klein, PT, DPT, SCS @BrooksKleinPT]

If you're a PT student interested in sports medicine:

Shadow an athletic trainer.

You'll learn a ton.

You'll build healthcare bridges in the community.

You'll get to see the full spectrum of athlete rehab from acute injury to return to play.

Highly recommend.

Progressive Achilles Tendon Loading.
Thanks to @joshrbaxter et al.

[Brooks Klein, PT, DPT, SCS @BrooksKleinPT]

Arm care isn't just tiny dumbbells for tiny muscles.

Most shoulder muscles are working near max capacity when throwing.

Here are some activation levels (% MVIC):

Lower trap 78%
Serratus anterior 106%
Infraspinatus 74%
Latissimus dorsi 88%

Train them all.

WORLD RECORD: We have a new man in town. Kelvin Kiptum just broke Eliud Kipchoge's World Record with an unofficial time of 2:00:35! UNBELIEVABLE!

[ACL Recovery Club @ACLrecoveryCLUB]

8 1/2 months removed from ACL reconstruction, Cards QB Kyler Murray showing great quad activation! Definitely a little size difference when comparing the right to the left, but that’s to be expected at this point. Keep grinding @K1! #NeverQuit
