Don't use strengthening exercises when rehabbing sprained ankles.

'WHAT? Have you lost the plot Ted?'

I hear you, this is what I was thinking too when Physical Therapist/Physiotherapist and Neurophysiologist expert, Dr Brian Power of the US made this claim.

But hang in there, there's method in the madness ...

This quick vlog reveals the crucial clinical signs that will help you determine the true cause of a 'weak muscle' and how you can restore its strength immediately! (Yes, this is bound to turn your belly button from an 'innie' to an 'outie'!).

Can you strengthen muscles without strengthening exercises?

This blog is about ‘switching on’ muscles that are not functioning correctly due to neurological inhibition.

Discover why muscle 'weaknesses' may not require muscle 'strengthening' and how to determine if this is affecting your patient.

What are the top 3 considerations you MUST be mindful of when assessing or treating Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction (PTTD)? 

Jon Churchward, podiatrist and graduate of our recent FMT workshop in Sydney, posed some interesting questions for a chronic PTTD patient he is seeing in a local homeless hub (kudos for your community service Jon!).

I shot a quick video to address the key considerations so that Jon (and you!) would benefit and avoid the common traps that can trip up many practitioners.

This quick vlog reveals the critical steps that worked on:

• neural inhibitions
• joint restrictions
• gait compensations
• muscle firing patterns

This blog details a case study of a woman in her 50's presented with:

• Hallux Limitus with confirmed osteophytes and DJD
• Refused any surgical recommendations (her mother had a very unsuccessful result)
• Her feet were her primary mode of transport (refused to own a car for philosophical reasons)
• Had no success with orthotic therapy

What conservative treatment(s) would you recommend if this patient presented in your clinic?

Discover the 3 Step treatment plan that helped this case and see what could help your next Hallux Limitus case!

The Cuboid is at the effect of multiple MSK compensations, especially in patients who have sustained an ankle inversion injury in their lifetime (and how many of your patients have ever rolled their ankle?!?).

Cuboid Mobilisation can help calluses and IPK's of the 5th Met Head

This blog highlights:

• the clinical clues to pay attention to
• the clinical test to do before you mobilise or manipulate the Cuboid
• the gentle Cuboid Mobilisation. actions
