From the Ground Up Athletic Performance Podcast Tom Broback Episode 32 "Sensible practices for dealing with different injuries and the importance of proficient movement"
On Episode 30 I Sat down with Tom Broback, Tom is a PT in Twin cities, Minnesota as well as a fellow podcaster. Tom begins by discussing some of the most common issues that he encounters in his practice. We discuss how taping and bracing may not have the desired effect hoped for and perhaps some of the negative consequences of repeated taping and bracing. Tom offers some other methods that may work in unison if a brace or taping is required or may be able to take the place of repeated taping and bracing. The Ankle is an area that is often taped or braced so our discussion jumps to that area of the body and some of the things that can be done to help return players that experience an ankle sprain or ankle issues. The hamstrings are another area that can often be strained or pulled, Tom discusses some of the other areas of the body that may drive compensation leading to hamstring issues and how to perhaps correct these issues. We discuss some of the common issues that are seen in adolescent populations in the hips and what may be driving mobility issues that are detrimental to sport and an overall healthy lifestyle. We end our conversation by discussing the role of breathing and how it can have a global effect on the body. We also discuss the danger of sharp decreases in activity especially following an injury and how it is important to facilitate a timely return by finding ways to keep those with limitations involved in a safe and meaningful manner.
