Hey Leopardnesses,

Today’s mission is for a good friend about to go destroy the track at nationals. Turns out, he’s a sprinting machine and has developed some serious bilateral “turf toe” like symptoms. Remember that it is rarely the injured joint/tissue that is the problem. Rather the injured tissue/joint is the downstream effect. Solution: Triage the injured tissue + figure out what mechanics brought it on= success. Don’t just treat the problem.

Kill em B-Money.

Kelly there is a great McConnell tape job for this problem. Allows my athletes to compete painfree while I treat the mechanics.

This blog is intended as a jump off point for athletes to systematically begin to address their nasty tissues and grody joint mobility. Use at your own risk and stop if you think it's gonna hurt you, your spine is going to come out your throat, or your face goes numb. But, understand that you should be responsible for your own business. Don't wait until you need a new knee. Pony up.
