![[IT BAND SYNDROME - General Rehab Exercises] ➡️➡️
The IT Band or Iliotibial Band spans from the muscular attachment at the tensor fascia late (TFL) to Gerdy’s Tubercle on the Tibia. Irritation from repetitive movements, inefficient movement patterns, TFL weakness, glute max weakness can cause IT Band pain. Commonly this pain is experienced at the lateral knee. It can be very aggravating during lunges, squats, walking etc, so targeting the TFL and glutes are a great way to begin rehab with this. Here are a few great steps to help #painrelief of the IT Band.
1️⃣Pigeon Stretch and Reach
2️⃣Standing TFL Stretch
3️⃣Quadruped Kickback and Hip Rotation
4️⃣Copenhagen planks (got these from @dr.giardina.dpt I love these)
5️⃣Clam Shells
6️⃣Reverse Clam Shells
7️⃣TFL Raise (Internally rotate foot and bring leg in front of body)
8️⃣Anti-Valgus Lunge

![[LOW BACK PAIN WITH CONTRALATERAL LEG WEIGHT BEARING - Acute Load Management] 🏋🏼♂️➡️➡️
This was a specific case, but I have seen this commonly in athletes who participate in sports that require repetitive movements in a single leg stance and have rotational movements associated with them. ➡️My goal for the acute phase was to load his side that caused low back pain in very low level, slow and controlled movements to allow his motor control center to feel these movements without pain. With injury, especially from specific movements or patterns, our MCC can begin to subconsciously alter our movement to avoid the perceived threat. Many things can be looked at with someone who is suffering from this:
🔸Weak hip/glute stabilizers
🔸Poor lumbopelvic control
🔸Weak lumbar multifidi/TVA
If you suffer from this try these:
1️⃣Single-leg lifts medial to lateral
2️⃣Single-leg lifts to bench
3️⃣Banded hip March

![[GOLFER’S ELBOW🏌🏼♂️- General Rehab Exercises]
👇🏼
Yesterday we talked about tennis elbow, and today we are talking about the degenerative issue that causes much pain and discomfort on the medial forearm. This is referred to as golfers elbow because it happens commonly in gold and other sports like racquetball where the repetitive motion of swinging the club causes the area of medial epicondyle (where all the forearm flexors attach) to become painful. Here are a few exercises to get your rehab started:
1️⃣Quadruped Forearm Flexors Stretch
2️⃣Eccentric DB Forearm Curls
3️⃣Supine DB Forearm Curls
4️⃣Eccentric DB Ulnar Deviation
5️⃣Supine DB Pushouts
6️⃣Plate Grip Farmer Carries
7️⃣Isometric Towel Squeezes
8️⃣💥Bonus: Spider web power grip and pinch grip, just for fun!

I have brought Todd on to give me treatment 2x per week to address my past injuries, current limitations and prevent future injuries. The treatment includes instrument assisted scraping, cupping, myofascial release and various strengthening and mobility work. He has also programmed daily tissue activation routines to address what I need before taking big weights. I am starting to feel like myself again and am excited to get healthier through the work with Todd, even at 39 years old.

Rio Grande Track and Field
My senior year of track I developed complications with my sciatic nerve and it had a big effect on my running. Todd helped me rehab; successfully getting me healthy in time for the most important time of my season. He was my athletic trainer for volleyball, basketball, and track. Throughout the years he helped me and my teammates have healthy and successful seasons. Without his knowledge and care as an Athletic Trainer, I probably would not have been able to complete at the collegiate level today. I currently run track at the University of Rio Grande and even today I continue to utilize the stretches, lifts, and rehabbing Todd showed me my senior year of high school. He is not only a great Athletic Trainer but also a great mentor and role model to those around him.
Mike Diamond
Powerlifter
I had first come to Todd when I was visiting Old School Gym and he had been kind enough to work with me on a nagging glute issue stemming from a powerlifting meet a few months prior. I had sought out Chiropractic help, Massage therapy and even some self-care via YouTube. I couldn't seem to get it cleared up or figure out the exact source of the issue. When I explained this to Todd he knew exactly what it was. Within 5 minutes he had worked on my piriformis and the issue vanished almost immediately. Todd is by far the person I trust most to go to with any injury that I may encounter, he has helped me with glute issues, elbow issues and a handful of others via his content. He can point you straight to the problem and show you exactly how to fix it.
Brooks Holloway
Powerlifter
I developed a sharp pain in my glute about a month out from the IVB Push/Pull powerlifting meet. Todd helped me relieve a lot of that pain through mobility work and get me back on track. I was able to compete using a conventional stance in my deadlift, which was a first for me and set a new competition PR. I am now pushing toward a 500 pull and 500 squat after just turning 35 years of age and feeling stronger than ever thanks to guys like Todd.
