My experiences both as an athlete and as a coach have made me better at what I do now as a PT! I love using my experience from all 3 areas to help rowers return from injury even stronger than they were before. Thanks @willruth335 for the spotlight!

During class today the @IRLatCRI fellows got creative with rowing drills to help their athletes activate the proper muscle groups! #rowing #injuryprevention

[Erin McConnell, DPT @ErinM02]

Discussed my favorite topic- glute strength- with the @IRLatCRI fellows during our sports medicine and injury prevention class today! It's important that rowers actually feel the correct muscles working, even during simple exercises! #rowingPT #injuryprevention

Loved participating in this research study while I was at UConn! Kids need to play multiple sports in order to promote good neuromuscular control and decrease injury risk! https://t.co/iftpgzoBZA

What does #LearnByDoing look like? This! Applied Sports Medicine & Injury Prevention today trying out dry needling treatment.

[Erin McConnell, DPT @ErinM02]

Worked on glute activation yesterday with the @IRLatCRI fellows! I see many young rowers struggle with this, especially those with back pain

[Erin McConnell, DPT @ErinM02]

@IRLatCRI "[mostly] in your butt and [also a little] in your quads!" Learning how to teach their rowers how to turn on those glutes! #Injuryprevention
