Last week our book "Sport Injury Prevention Anatomy" was released! This book took 2 years for @erikMeira & me to complete.
I am perhaps proudest of our use of research to support the content included, we thought that was important.

Thanks @GrindstaffTL for inviting me to discuss a late-stage rehab framework with @Creighton_DPT students today...sharing how we use this process to allow a safe return to sport! Love seeing future sports PTs engage with this systematic approach.

[David Potach @DavidPotach]

Please join @beverlyhospital Rehab on November 18 for an outstanding course with @kcrehabguy Dan Lorenz.

Dan will share his expertise on helping injured athletes return to play with advanced late-stage rehab techniques.

Hope to see you there!

Wrapped up a week of teaching an Emergency Medical Responder course to our first year @Creighton_DPT students (DPT 2025) in Omaha and Phoenix. Important skills to learn for healthcare providers. 🏥🩸🩺 🏃‍♀️

Teaching with great friends is an absolute added bonus.

My heart is absolutely breaking seeing so many Achilles ruptures in NCAA gymnastics.

This is my official flag in the ground

WE NEED MORE RESEARCH PROJECTS AND FUNDING FOR THEM.

The gymnasts deserve it.

Please every human in gymnastics - retweet this so someone important sees.

NEW review by our group @UBC_MABLab led by @MichaelaCMKhan in @SportsMedicineJ
Running is safe for joints. Don't be scared of 'wearing out your knees' - that's not a thing. Share far and wide. Time to make sure no one is scared of running!
