Simplifying Injury Recovery

1/5/2022

2 Comments

 
Recovering from an injury can be a nuanced process - there are some symptoms that you should listen to and others that aren’t so important, poor information abounds during searches on Dr. Google, there are friendly recommendations to try certain products, drugs or stretches, and just when you think it is okay to resume your normal activities pain may re-surge.  It can be confusing…

That being said, if you focus your attention on the overarching principles of an effective rehab, recovery doesn’t have to be complicated!
Here are few key areas that anyone can assess and will help to simply your return to wellness:

1. Time

Picture
A) If you’ve sustained an injury, rehab will take time.  Determining its severity can help you plan your rehab timeline. If it’s a small injury (micro-tearing or grade 1 sprain/strain), allow three days of relative rest for the injured area and slowly start to return to your sport. If it was a moderate or severe injury (grade 2-3 sprain / strain, fracture), you will need more time to allow the injury’s wound margins to heal back together.  Due to the magnitude of a more severe injury you will likely benefit from a support (see below) and clever ways of modifying activity/programming.
B) If you are not seeing many signs of improvement from your injury within a week, consulting a health care provider (Physio/Doctor) is a good idea. Diagnosing the injury and its severity will be important for your rehab strategy and long-term success.

2. Exercise

Picture
A) Make sure that you perform exercises specific for your injury/dysfunction.  Your exercises should address all three of the following:
  1. Motor Control - Pain and weakness cause your nervous system to go into ‘protection mode’, rendering your movement patterns dysfunctional.  Re-learning how to move properly can help you reduce potential irritation to the healing tissues (by using the correct muscles), reduce future injury risk, and improve performance.  
  2. Tissue Load Tolerance - Re-loading the injured tissue in a progressive manner is important for optimal healing of the tissue.  Research used to suggest that re-loading injured tissues was only necessary for muscles and tendons, but now we know the same is true for ligaments, connective tissues, bones, and intervertebral discs. Your tissues must learn to tolerate load again.  
  3. Regain Mobility - Doing certain mobility/flexibility drills may be helpful in decreasing pain associated with tight muscles or restricted joint range of motion.
B) While you are healing from the injury, cross-training is important to help reduce general fitness losses and to create positive associations (important for pain control) with movement around the injury site location.

3. Supports

Picture
A) Your recovery from an injury may be uncomfortable but it needn’t be exquisitely painful.  Utilizing walking aids (crutches/cane/walking poles), braces, taping techniques, medication (oral, topical or injections) or certain types of shoes/orthotics may help to alleviate some of your pain.  These supports are not be relied on for very long, but can help reduce the harmful effects of feeling too much pain during your recovery.

4. Activity level

Picture
A). Many of my clients see me because they have slow progress or are seeing no progress. This is often because #2 is not being addressed and clients are often doing too much or too little activity in their day to day life.  Determining the appropriate amount of activity requires:
  1. Experience working with similar demographics who have similar injuries.
  2. Trial and Error.  If clients are struggling with finding an appropriate daily activity level it is important to set goals and track the results.  A few examples include: Monitoring daily step count, monitoring amount of time doing certain activities (eg. overhead work for someone with a shoulder injury), or giving permission to patients to start doing activities that seem intimidating (e.g. walking on uneven terrain for someone with an ankle injury).  
B) Another common road block may present itself when a client does not have the pre-requisite strength to do a certain activity or sport but continues to push their activity level to higher volumes and intensities.  You must meet a certain threshold of strength before you can build volume or speed/intensity in your activities and sports.

Concluding Remarks

Creating a good rehab program is an art.  Of course there are other items to consider whilst recovering from an injury, but if you can dial in these four key areas it should help with setting realistic expectations and executing a planned recovery.

A Focus on Injury: Ski Knees

10/17/2017

There's nothing quite like skiing in the Rockies...

History of Knee Pain

It's about this time of year, every year, that people living in north of California think about strapping on skis for the winter.  The most common concern is regarding knee integrity and readiness to ski.
 
I like to group the concern into three groups:
  1. I currently have knee pain,
  2. I have had pain in the past but currently do not, and
  3. I’ve never had concerning knee pain.
 
Chances are that if you fall into group 3, you will likely ski and have an injury-free season (but unfortunately there is always a first time for everything…). If you fall into group 1 or 2, you’ll likely appreciate the remainder of the article.   Knowledge is power – use the following information to shape your training and awareness!

Mechanism of Ski Injuries

Fact
The knee has two joints – the tibiofemoral joint and the patellofemoral joint. Skiing loads both joints tremendously, in different ways.
The two most common knee injuries from skiing include ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) tears, and patellofemoral dysfunction (knee cap pain).
 
ACL Tears
ACL tears are acute, and often a result of catching an edge, crashes or poor landings.  They often fall into one of three categories:

1) Slip Catch: Commonly seen while turning when the inside edge of the outer ski catches the snow surface, forcing the knee into a valgus collapse and internal rotation position (2).

Picture
2) Dynamic Snow Plow: When one of the ski edges accidentally engages the inside edge of the skis, and forces the lower leg to jerk inwards (valgus collapse).  The tibia rapidly moves across the middle of the body and cause the valgus collapse of the knee. (1).
Picture
3) Landing Back-Weighted: A tactical error in jumping / landing and technique that leads to landing on the tails of the ski, which will stress the knee joint in an anterior/posterior shearing nature (1).
Picture
Patellofemoral Pain
 
Patellofemoral pain often comes on from an accumulation of poor or excessive loading.  The most common fault (and easiest to identify) is a valgus collapse of the knee.

Picture
You can also identify this by watching someone squat or lunge, or squat / jump, as seen below.  If the knee has a tendency to collapse inwards, the hip is usually doing a poor job stabilizing the knee.
Picture
Other possible reasons for patellofemoral pain include overuse of the quads (anterior chain dominance, too much skiing too soon), tight quads (causing compression of the patella) or weak quads (causing poor stabilization of the knee cap for the load being placed). 

Training for Healthy Knees and an Injury-Free Ski Season

An entire training program for proper knee function is outside of the scope of this article, however a couple good examples include:
  1. http://www.shape.com/fitness/workouts/gym-pro-skier-paula-moltzan
  2. http://www.onthesnow.ca/news/a/107241/u-s--ski-team-s-5-essential-ski-training-exercises
 
General loading principles to abide by include:
  1. Mobility and Strength: Work on joint mobility and muscle flexibility, while building a base level of fitness. Spend at least 1 month in this phase before moving forward to any jumping / plyometric exercises.  Being able to squat and deadlift your own body weight with good form, is a great goal (and minimum requirement by athletic standards) for controlling your body in dynamic and variable conditions.  As your knees allow move into exercises including lunges, step ups, single leg squats, and Bulgarian split squats.  For all lower body strengthening exercises, focus on engaging the glutes and hamstrings (not just quad focused).  Ensure your knees stay in neutral alignment (not allowing them to collapse inwards).
  2. Plyometrics: Introduce plyometric exercises at least 3 weeks in advance to the start of your ski season.  Find the level which challenge you to complete 3 sets of 30 seconds (with 3 minute breaks in between sets) and gradually progress forwards.
A reasonable list of exercises (from basic to advanced) include:
 
Two Leg Focused Exercises
Hopping (forward/backwards, side to side, diagonals)
Squat Jumps
Burpees (with jump)
Box Jumps
Lateral Box Jump Overs (side to side)
Hurdle Bounds
 
Single Leg Focused Exercises
Ski Hops
Jumping Lunge
Single Leg Hopping (forward/backwards, side to side, diagonals)
Single Leg Hopping (through cones or agility ladder)
Single Leg Hurdle Bounds

Perfecting Your Technique

During the early part of the ski season, spend the first few ski days working on your technique.  Perhaps some pointers from your friends or a ski instructor would be helpful?  As you scroll up and review the possible injury mechanisms, remember that strength and, more importantly, technique are to blame for most ski injuries. 

Pre-Season Stoke

Now is the time to make a game plan. If you are excited for ski season, let this fuel your training!
Any level of commitment to pre-season strengthening is better than nothing!  The ideal goal would be to get into the gym 3 times a week for strength training, but start with whatever you can commit to.
If you currently have pain, and aren't sure where to start, make an appointment with a physiotherapist or sports medicine physician.

See you out there!

Preventing Injuries in the Mountain Athlete

3/15/2016

The Great Outdoors.  It is there for you to enjoy, to push your limits, and develop fortitude.  For some people, going outdoors can be synonymous with developing injuries, but there are steps you can take to mitigate future injuries from taking place.

The Right Fitness Level

Greater fitness leads to a better understanding of your limits, as well as the ability to achieve greater feats. A physical assessment by a good therapist or strength and conditioning coach can help you sort through the thousands of exercises out there to know which ones are relevant to your needs.

      - Slow, gradual increases in exercise and specific training are necessary (months and/or years).  Our bodies adapt well to gradual stresses, but if too much load is placed on it at once, expect failure and injuries.  It takes great dedication to yield great results. Most outdoor athletes peak in their 30s and 40s as they build cardiovascular endurance,  muscular endurance, and a resistance to injury.
      - Outdoor athletes often suffer overuse / over-training.  It is important to consider whether you have proper body mechanics during training and outdoor pursuits.  Have knowledgeable therapists, coaches and other athletes watch your form and provide suggestions. It is also important to include adequate cross-training, regular body maintenance (physiotherapy, massage, rolling), proper nutrition, and adequate rest.
      - As a general rule there are certain joints which must be stable (strong ligamentous and muscular support around the joint, which prevents excess joint motion) and others which must have good mobility (the joint is built to be very flexible, however the muscular support around the joint must be able to control this increased range).  As pertaining to lower body exercise, the core must be stable, hips must be mobile, knees must be stable, and the ankles must be mobile (Cook, Burton & Kiesel, 2010).


Try adding the following 20-minute routine into your regular workouts, three days a week.  It is a small corrective exercise program built to help the user become more aware of hip / knee / ankle positioning during single leg stance.  It is not meant to replace regular strength training.  Rather, it should enforce the principles of joint alignment, feeling posterior chain engagement and will allow good transfer to outdoor pursuits. 
 
A) Dynamic stretching. Perform dynamic stretching prior to exercise for 30 seconds per muscle group. A few lower body ideas include front/back and side-to-side leg swings, quick quadriceps stretches, quick piriformis/glute stretches, and hopping.
 
B) Airplane. At first you may need to hold onto something for balance, but eventually you should be able to progress to no hands.  Goal = 10 reps per side.

C) Step-ups. Face a mirror and line up the hips and knees on the working leg to be approximately 90 degrees.  Ensure that during the exercise, your knee tracks straight (not allowing it to collapse inwards or outwards).   Lean forward, try to feel your glutes and hamstring fire on the upper leg then push through the heel on the working leg as you step up (this will help you to activate the posterior chain). Goal = 10 reps per side, with 2 times the expected weight of your backpack and gear.


D) Single leg star balance. Reach as far in each of the four directions as possible, while bending the stance leg at the hip and knee during the reaching phase (this leg should remain straight in line from the hip to the foot).  Goal = 10 reps for each leg.  1 rep = a full cycle of the four directions.
 
Side note: Work to create symmetry in this test, as evidence suggests that a difference of more than 4 cm between left and right legs in ‘the forward reach’ component can help predict whether an athlete is at risk of injuring the leg (Smith, Chimera & Warren, 2014).  Tip: Place masking tape on the ground and mark the distance in centimeters.


E) Piriformis rolling and pigeon stretch.  1 minute rolling, 1 minute stretch per side.

F) Lateral Quadriceps rolling and stretch.  1 minute rolling (focus on the outside of the leg), 1 minute stretch per side.


Other Important Considerations

Start With The Right Intel
- Create specific training goals: How many days/hours, what gear do I need to use, am I familiar with the terrain?
- Become efficient and effective in your skill-set by learning the best decision making skills and techniques via free resources (friends, books, videos), and progressing to courses or hiring a guide.
 


The Right Gear
- Hiking poles take up to 25% of stress off your knees during descent (Schwameder, et al., 1999) help your legs save energy, and improve your balance on technical terrain.
- Boots that fit well can prevent crushed toes, and rolled ankles.
- Bring microspikes, mountaineering gear and/or avalanche gear if you expect snowy conditions.

Preventing Injuries: Identifying The Signs Before There Are Symptoms

6/1/2015

2 Comments

 
The best form of treatment is prevention.  Many of my clients fall victim to pain and dysfunction because they missed the warning signs.
Picture
Don't miss the warning signs!

Warning Signs

Signs (without symptoms) act as a warning that something bad is about to happen.  When I assess movement in my clients (or when I assess my own movement to prevent injuries) I look for signs that are abnormal.  To do this, I must know what normal is for athletes and non-athletes.  For example, a non-athlete may expect to have glenohumeral (shoulder) external rotation of 80-90 degrees.  A baseball player may have as much as 135 degrees on their throwing arm.

Some examples of objective signs may include changes (over the last week(s) / month(s) / year(s) in:
(1) Range of motion (ROM)
Has there been a change in your active or passive ROM? Does the end-feel of the last few degrees of your ROM feel the same as it always has? (i.e. does it feel like a muscle stretch, bone-on-bone, tissue approximation?

(2) Coordination
Can you perform simple and complex movement skills as easily as before? Are your movements performed with precision?

(3) Strength
Have you noticed any changes in your ability to access your muscle strength, endurance or power?

(4) Speed

Are you able to move as quickly in different movement patterns as before?  Do you fatigue more easily?

(5) Symmetry

Are you able to control the left side of your body as well as you are on the right?  Do your movements look symmetrical on both sides when you perform them in front of a mirror?

Some examples of subjective signs may include:
(1) Lack of confidence
Do you feel an incapability to execute the skill well? Does something just feel "off"? The skill may look well coordinated but may just feel uncoordinated.

(2) Poor decision-making when performing a skill
Are you able to make tactical decisions about using the skill?  While performing a skill, are you able to make decisions regarding your environment to determine what your next course of action should be?

(3) Inability to multitask
Do you find it more difficult to talk (or do any number of other skill-sets) while you perform a skill? 

(4) Poor body language
Do you feel awkward performing a skill that you used to be proficient in performing?   Do other people seem to smile or chuckle while you perform the skill?

(5) Validated outcome measures
These outcome measures may help provide the patient with some insight into tasks they perform in their life that are difficult for them to do, even if they do not perceive symptoms to be present.  This helps to create self-awareness. (Outcome measure examples include: 
Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire, Upper Extremity Functional Scale, Upper Extremity Functional Scale, etc.)

Onset of Symptoms

Once you develop symptoms (e.g. pain, stiffness, numbness, burning, tingling, etc.), we need to take it seriously. I am not implying that you need to take a month off of work, but conversely, the solution is not to ignore the pain and work through it.  As always, the healthiest option is found somewhere in the middle. 

Your liberation from the symptoms will result from:
(1) Determining the root cause of the injury.
(2) Fixing the problem before permanent damage occurs.
(3) Learning from it and becoming more aware of your body.
(4) Developing more strength and coordination than before to prevent a similar injury from reoccurring.
(5) Gradual return to the sports / activities you enjoy.


Concluding Remarks

The fundamental process to preventing injuries in your body is being self-aware and having others around you that can point out changes from your baseline.  If these do not suffice, or you wish to have more guidance, many experienced physiotherapists are able to assess your movement and create a plan to mitigate your risk factors for future injury.  Check out this post for more information on preventative physiotherapy.

7 Exercises Unfit For Your Workout

10/15/2014

3 Comments

 
When it comes to exercising, there are a lot of choices to be made; How often do I work out? Which body parts should I exercise? How much cardio, core, stretching, etc.. etc.. should I do? How many sets/reps/minutes? The list goes on and on… I’m about to make the exercise selection part of your workout a bit easier.  The following list describes 7 exercises that are best left OUT of your work out.  Read and enjoy! If you have any comments or questions feel free to leave them in the comment section or contact me personally!

1) Behind The Head Lat Pull Down

Picture
This is a great exercise to focus on mid and lower trap development as well as general lat development. You’ll see some of the strongest body builders in the gym doing it, and I only hope that they know it may be harming their neck and shoulders. Because of the head forward (neck protraction) position, you are likely to see muscles like the sternocleidomastoid (SCM), levator scapulae, and upper fibers of the trapezius (traps) tighten up.  These muscles are common sources of neck pain, reducing functional neck range of motion, as well as encouraging scapular downward rotation, which can create or further exacerbate shoulder dysfunctions.  Additionally, the position of extreme horizontal abduction and external rotation of the shoulder can cause a host of problems that are not limited to shoulder impingement syndrome, rotator cuff strains, labral irritation/tears, AC Joint compression, and ligamentous laxity.

2) Upright Row

Picture
The upright row focuses on strengthening the middle and posterior delts, rhomboids and upper traps.  It can certainly achieve this goal, however it comes with the risk of shoulder impingement.  I personally do not recommend this exercise to many people, but if I do it is always with the limitation of not bringing the elbows up above the shoulder level (as seen in the above picture).

3) Traditional Sit-ups, Crunches and Machines that Simulate Sit-ups

Stuart McGill would die and then roll over in his grave if I didn’t mention these exercises. Essentially, yes, these exercises can pack on some muscle and definition to the rectus abdominua, iliopsoas, rectus femoris, and the obliques… However to include these exercises in a regular exercise program is not worth the risk of injury.
Going back to basics for a moment- the core is essentially meant to create spinal stability.  Another way for me to say this is that the core musculature is meant to functionally operate as an anti-mover for the spine, contracting isometrically.  When you do a sit-up you are concentrically contracting the anterior core muscles. Additionally, Stu McGill’s research shows that each intervertebral disc in the lumbar spine has a finite number of spine bends (flexion) that it can tolerate. Due to the structure of the discs, repeated flexion (think rounding the back) is one of the worst motions for lumbar spine health. Crunches, sit-ups, and most abdominal machines in the gym FLEX the spine! So ..stop it!.. and stick to planks, and other exercises that keep the back in a neutral stable position.


4) Leg Press

Picture
I love the fact that you can really load up this machine and focus on leg strength, however there are three main flaws I see to using it:
1) The back and feet are planted and impacts the proper knee arthrokinematics (the movement of the joint surfaces) of the tibiofemoral joint to take place.  Typically as you straighten the knee, there is a conjunction external rotation of the tibia on the femur.  It is hypothesized that this machine will affect this conjunct movement.
2) The back is flexed and thus it experiences high levels of stress placed on the discs (especially at the lumbosacral junction).
3) The exercise does not have a lot of functional carry-over to sport or daily life – Have you ever known anyone to sit down and push 400 lbs of weight? 
My recommendation – Train functionally in an upright position!

5) Knee Extensions

Picture
This machine is great for building quad mass, but is not great for the:

1) Patellofemoral Joint Arthrokinematics:
(A) The way that the patella (knee cap) moves on the femoral condyles changes depending on whether you are performing an open or closed-chain exercise.  Powers et al. (2003) found that the patellofemoral joint kinematics during non-weight-bearing (open chain) exercises could be characterized as the patella moving on the femur, while the kinematics during weight-bearing (closed chain) exercises could be characterized as the femur rotating underneath the stable.  The latter of the two conditions provides the least amount of stress placed on the patellofemoral joint.
(B) There is often additional stress placed on the patellofemoral joint because the load that you must push with your shin is anterior to the knee joint, whereas during a squat, the load is often through the knee joint or posterior to the knee joint.

2) Tibiofemoral Joint Arthrokinematics:  For the same reason as explained in the leg press example above (#1), pushing your shin against the machine prevents some of the conjunct external rotation of the tibia on the femur, meaning that the joint mechanics may be dysfunctional and can lead to joint damage.


6) Back Extensions

Picture
This may be a good exercise to put on some erector spinal bulk, but over facilitation of this muscle group is already a common occurrence. Classically this facilitation occurs because of poor spinal stability via inhibited/weak deep core muscles (most significant = the multifidus muscles in this scenario). Performing this exercise may result in increased facilitation of the already facilitated erector spinae muscles.

7) Almost All Seated Exercises

Picture
Avoid almost all seated exercises, and especially ones that cause repeated lumbar rotation.  The worst ones to avoid include exercises like the seated torso rotation machine, or any machines that force you into lumbar flexion (as mentioned above in #3). Remember Stuart McGills advice from above? The lumbar spine should be able to move dynamically, but have static stability when loaded. What i mean by this is that when the spine is not under any stress, we should have full range of motion through flexion, extension, rotation and side flexion. However, when loaded, the core muscles should provide stability and should remain static. If the spine moves when it is under load, additional shear and compression forces will occur, resulting in wear-and-tear on the spine.

Lastly, when we must engage other muscle groups from a seated postion, we do not harness the stability and strength of the core.  As a result we likely are weaker in that exercise, and we could be placing our body at risk for injury.  Why? Because most sitting inhibits our ability to contract some of our core muscles (i.e. when sitting, the anterior abdominal cavity is compressed which inhibits the diaphragm from contracting), and some of our peri-core muscles (i.e. the glutes, hamstrings multifidi, erector spinae, etc. are lengthened and thus unable to contract as forcefully from the seated position).


Concluding Remarks

This is an interesting take on mobility that has helped me greatly: Always think about the body in terms of what should be mobile or stable. The following list will help to provide you with an understanding, and if applied correctly will help guide your training and any injury rehabilitation:   Ankle — Mobile Knee — Stable Hip — Mobile Lumbar Spine — Stable Thoracic Spine — Mobile Scapula — Stable Glenohumeral — Mobile Remember that each joint should have full ROM regardless of its main purpose. Read more about this approach from Gray Cook’s book, 'Movement',
