⚽️On Field Injury Screen⚽️⁣
⁣
This isn’t meant to be comprehensive by any means but just a quick, before practice screen of an athlete who suffered a varus insult to her knee.⁣
⁣
We obviously are worried about central and lateral forces stretching ligaments and medial forces compressing bone and cartilage.⁣
⁣
Is the knee stable?⁣
⁣
Is there swelling?⁣
⁣
Do they have normal gait?⁣
⁣
Can the athlete play?⁣
⁣
Is it something more significant?⁣
⁣
What is the worst case scenario if you return them to play?⁣
⁣
Follow the clinical exam with game specific running, cutting and hopping.⁣
⁣
Them make the best medical decision for the athlete.⁣
⁣
Saying, “No,” is ok. Just be thorough and have a reason for it.⁣

🔥🌳Plank Variations 🔥🌳 ⁣
⁣
Everyone wants to have a stable core right? In these videos, I’m just having a little fun here running through some variations of planks.⁣
⁣
💯Going back to foundational stability exercises is a component of any exercise program. The plank works the shoulder girdle to lower core. ⁣
⁣
💯Tweaking exercises to Challenge mobility and stability more is what we do. Adding lower or upper body movements to a plank is one way to do this. ⁣
⁣
✅ Try these basic plank progressions for variety and to target 🎯 different areas as well. ⁣
