Excited to start as Director of Olympic Sports Rehabilitation at University of Nebraska! Thankful for my Meyer Institute of Sport and the LA Kings coworkers in helping prepare me for life’s next adventure.
@JZ_Sawicki@hockeyphysiopod Perhaps the females had various forms of dysplasia. I would definitely agree that I’ve seen more adolescent post-op females. I have to believe dysplasia and hypermobility play a role
@hockeyphysiopod@JZ_Sawicki@mkellypt Cam lesions develop due to repetitive stress at the open growth plate at the femoral head-neck junction. Probably tons of factors involved (exposure, single versus multi-sports). Hockey is especially at risk due to its rotational nature and extreme, triplanar demand at the hip
A big day of learning with @Seth0Neill at the elite facilities of the Meyer Institute of Sport.
Management and rehabilitation of Achilles tendinopathy and calf related injuries.
This weekend I had the honor to present at the inaugural Elite Hockey Rehab Conference. Phenomenal weekend of learning and connecting with others in the hockey space. Big thanks to @erikMeira and the staff at Colorado College for hosting this incredible event.
"Limb Symmetry Index using the uninvolved limb as a standard remains a practical criterion for strength assessment, but clinicians should be mindful of the changing nature of the uninvolved limb’s strength."
Beware the moving target

Elite Hockey Rehab Conference coming to Colorado College this June. Absolutely hyped for this speaker list:

Super excited to be working with Rich Bennett & @erikMeira to make this happen. Look out for registration soon. And see you there.
Hip rehab tip:
Don’t hang your hat on strength ratios and symmetry for return to sport.
Instead, use them as a stepping stone for progressing to more advanced rehab.
This ensures good strength as the foundation to lower body power, speed and endurance.
Stretch your hip flexors to reduce your anterior pelvic tilt 🫣😮😳🤪
Well it could. But.
⚠️𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐛𝐲 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡?⚠️
❇️1.2 degrees - WOW - life changing.
•After the stretching protocol there was an reduction of 1.2° in pelvic tilt after hip flexor stretching & no meaningful correlations between the change in pelvic tilt when the sides were considered separately. (Preece et al., 2021)
•These negligible changes are in pain free healthy individuals, so take into consideration all of the guarding, pain inhibition and anatomical variability in pelvic angles.
•Significant differences in sagittal spino-pelvic parameters among races were seen, (Arima et al 2018)
•There is little normative data presented within the literature establishing typical findings within an asymptomatic population from which to make comparisons in pathological populations. (Herrington 2011)
