More Hip Mobility Work
Hip mobility work is often under appreciated but required for athletes and the general public. Better hip range of motion will lead to better athletic performance, less pain, better mobility and a better quality of life. Check out a great little routine here. As always, check with your therapist, trainer or coach before starting this kind of routine to make sure it is appropriate for you.

Athletic Rotational Force
Building athletic rotational force is key to power production in almost every sport. Here’s a great example of the kind of programming it takes to get it done. Medicine balls are a great tool when used correctly.

Herniated Disc
A herniated disc refers to a disc lesion in the spine, which can cause local symptoms and can sometimes radiate to the legs or arms depending on the location of the lesion. This condition can occur gradually or as a result of a false movement. The hernia is usually located in the lower back or the neck. It sometimes appears in the thoracic region (middle of the back).
The intervertebral discs may be damaged due to poor lifting technique, repetitive intense activity or excessive body weight. A combination of several factors can contribute to the development of a herniated disc.
With age, the discs lose their gelatinous property, decreasing the size of the disc and the space between the vertebrae. Therefore, the spine may become more prone to injury and less mobile.
Treatment of disc injuries consists of Class IV Laser Therapy, management of any biomechanics stresses in the area and exercise rehabilitation to address any weaknesses that can be putting undue stress on the area.

Heel Spurs
The heel spur is a small bony point that forms at the insertion of the plantar fascia on the heel. It is generally associated with plantar fasciitis secondary to significant and repetitive stress on the plantar fascia.
Obesity and frequent wearing of high heels are important risk factors. Athletes are also at risk if their training is excessive.
Treatment of heel spurs consists of Class IV Laser Therapy, management of any biomechanics stresses in the area and exercise rehabilitation to address any weaknesses that can be putting undue stress on the area.

Tight Mid Back?
Have a tight mid-back? This is an excellent movement to relieve tight and sore areas and improve overall mobility of the thoracic (middle part of your) back.
Start in a pain free range of motion and build more and more range as you relax tight muscles, mobilize joints and expand the range of connective tissues. Be sure to follow The Prehab Guys for more great content like this.

Hammer Toe
Hammer toe is a progressive condition that usually affects one of the three toes in the middle of the foot. The toe gradually bends back on itself and this causes a hammer-like deformity.
As the condition progresses, the joint becomes less mobile and the tendons shorten, making the toe stiff. A callus or corn on the top of the flexed toe may also develop.
Wearing shoes that are too small can trigger or worsen the condition. Osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and diabetes can also cause hammer toes.
Treatment of Hammer Toe consists of Class IV Laser Therapy, management of any biomechanics stresses in the area and exercise rehabilitation to address any weaknesses that can be putting undue stress on the area.
