High ham/glute bruise
I have a football player that’s been having pain in one specific point around his high hamstring/gluteal crease area. He was seen by my doc on Friday last week during the game and we both agreed it’s nothing serious and he could play but it was the athlete decision if he wanted to play. This week he is mentally unable to sprint, he has done hills no problem, he’s done glute bridges with banded resistance and did banded hip extension. I’m trying a “placebo” taping. But I don’t know anything more I can do and I’ve told coach he can’t do anything more to it and it’s all mental I feel.

@Matthew Cannella sadly I’m from PA and we can’t do dry needling as ATs here.

@Tommy Dean yes I am in the HS setting. Where the high school and district is located, there’s multiple health networks, I work for one of them but I can’t control where parents take their kids. Also some of the kids aren’t as fortunate as others so they go to one in the area that is known for saying you’re out for 2 wks no matter what. I have a supervising physician and the network with send me docs or residents for games.
stubborn injury
hi everyone! i have a female recreational rugby athlete with some stubborn hamstring tendinopathy i can't seem to work through. we have tried eccentric, isometric exercises, nerve flossing manual therapy, some modalities for pain relief like estim and cupping.. it's been ongoing i would say november/december. she did spend a good 2 months resting and not doing much before coming back, she went on her own to get an MRI and it was perfectly clear. any recommendations or fascia work i should do? her pain is localized to her distal bicep fem tendon, down into her calf. recently during exercise she's felt some tinging all the way down into the bottom of her foot as well so i've tried some glute releases and pin/stretch work as well as PNF stretching. i feel like i'm exhausting my toolbox so need some fresh perspective :) thank you!!!

What I’ve been doing with cupping, especially hamstrings have been doing hamstring curls while cupped and after ~40-45 I do 3-6 sets of iso holds in different degrees of motion in the hamstring curl and have seen some good out of it
New ideas
Hi everyone. I have a female track athlete with Elohrs-Danlos Syndrome. She has been dealing with peroneal tendinitis and constant pain on top of her foot. I don’t really do stretches with her cause she is also very flexible. But I’m trying to think of some new treatments and rehabs for her. I have her doing balance and strengthening work. Any ideas would be appreciated
+4 MPH in one visit
Had a college baseball player come and see me because he experienced some decreased VO as he was pitching. He was sitting around 83 mph before he saw me. His first outing after he saw me he hit 87. One of the biggest things we’ve been working on is increasing his thoracic extension. Here’s a five minute before, and after of our work.

Was there any rotational work done? Or just thoracic work?
