@RestonHerndonLL @JuanSoto25_ @Nationals That is so cool! I’m sure the players will never forget it!

I have been a little slow on the blog posts with the new clinic opening, but here is a new one about olecranon stress fractures!

These are often missed in throwing athletes, particularly baseball players going through their growth spurt!

@dracheypt Thanks for sharing 🙌🏻

[Danny Lehnert @drdannydpt]

@Coach_Dowling That is definitely true! I think making baseball a more even opportunity for everyone is a huge step.

[Danny Lehnert @drdannydpt]

@bschwarzPT30 Totally agree. It bothers me if healthcare providers do it to me so I assume the same thing for my patients.

New blog post on Osgood-Schlatter Disease.

Did you know that almost 10% of people ages 12-15 have Osgood-Schlatter Disease?

Read about how we assess and treat it at Eclipse Wellness!

Wrote a blog post about what postoperative physical therapy should look like and how to choose the right physical therapist.

Let me know what you think and if you have any other ideas!

@richrehab I worked at a clinic where we had to do ultrasound for 8 minutes “for it to be effective”. There is no research for that, it is just the minimal time required for billing

New blog post about Snapping Hip Syndrome.

A very misunderstood condition that many people suffer from. Read about whether you need treatment and what kind of exercises are often effective!

You are the company you keep.

If you want to lift heavy weights, workout with people who lift heavy.

If you want to throw 90 mph, workout with people who throw hard.

Your environment can dictate a lot.

[Danny Lehnert @drdannydpt]

@Coach_Dowling This is awesome!

Opening your own office is 50% paying bills and 50% opening cardboard boxes.

Interesting analogy that sums up a lot of issues I see

This was a really good article about MLB pitching velocity trends from @justinochoi for @fangraphs. I have some related thoughts below. https://t.co/CaVbzaJrsP

Decided to cover a boring topic today: is bench pressing safe for baseball players?

I dove into the research and provided my understanding of the topic.

Check out what I had to say and let me know what you think!

@drtylerdobos Might have to steal these. Love the idea of strengthening in end range positions rather than avoiding them. Definitely builds resilience!

[Danny Lehnert @drdannydpt]

Push ups are an underrated rotator cuff exercise.

They provide closed chain stability which is great for shoulder function.

They allow for scapular mobility.

They are easy to scale.

They can be done anywhere.

So take a break from the band exercises and try push ups

[Garrison Roy @royalper4mance]

Couldn’t have said it better:

“Traditional physical therapy often underloads athletes and does not prepare them for the field. More aggressive exercise prescription is crucial to allow for a true readiness to return to the game”

[Danny Lehnert @drdannydpt]

PTs love to say movement is medicine.

No, insulin is medicine.

Movement is great, but we aren’t curing diseases.

[Danny Lehnert @drdannydpt]

@ashleyecrosby It’s sad that so many people put fear into women in particular. A lot of female clients I see would benefit from strengthening but they are convinced that more mobility is always the answer because that’s what they are told.
