Chiropractor bridging the rehab-to-performance gap (military & CrossFit)
Hey all, Bradley here. I’m a chiropractor based in London, currently relocating to the Gold Coast in November, LFG 😎. My background is a decade in the British Army as a helicopter engineer and PTI, then chiropractic after that. My focus is the gap between rehab and performance. Most people get told they’re “fine” once pain settles, but nobody bridges them back to actually training hard again. I work with military and ex-military guys and CrossFit athletes, both groups push hard and get hurt, then get lost in that grey zone between clinic and box. I’ve joined because I want to get sharper on programming and GPP principles. Rehab is my strength, but building people back up properly, the actual planning and progression, is the piece I want to level up. Keen to learn from everyone here and happy to help on the rehab/movement side if useful.

Plyo
Hi everyone! I have a question regarding plyometrics. I’m interested in how you structure the warm-up before a plyometric session and how you determine the appropriate volume, especially for beginners.

Hey Balsa! I typically program general dynamic warm-ups like jogs/backpedals, shuffles, karaokes, and walking lunges for a few minutes before more intense plyos, but plyo's themselves can also be fantastic warm ups because they're essentially ballistic stretches with load. Good to get them into deeper ranges of motion with less impact force before demanding more. Skip variations, multidirectional light pogos, something like split jumps with depth, and then transitioning into more intense and explosive plyos like broad jumps, vert jumps, single-leg bounds, and triple jumps would be a good way to go about it. That way, you're getting a lot of variety and not taking too much time on warm-up + plyos. Love Matthew's advice here with the low-stakes obstacle courses! Especially fun for younger athletes.
