In this episode of the How to Hunt Deer Podcast, hosts Dan and Jason discuss their recent experiences, including family activities and the challenges of balancing life with hunting. They delve into the importance of finding time to decompress during hunting season and share strategies for tree stand and saddle placement. The conversation also covers concealment techniques, shooting lane considerations, and the differences between permanent and mobile hunting setups, providing valuable insights for both novice and experienced hunters. In this conversation, Dan and Jason delve into the intricacies of tree stand placement, movement, and comfort while hunting. They discuss the importance of optimizing tree stand locations, the pros and cons of using saddles versus traditional tree stands, and the critical role of noise and movement in deer hunting. The conversation also touches on the strategic use of trail cameras, the significance of food plot placement, and the necessity of safe practices when setting up tree stands. Overall, the discussion provides valuable insights for hunters looking to enhance their strategies and ensure safety in the field. Takeaways: Finding balance between family life and hunting is challenging. Decompression time during hunting season is essential. Tree stand placement should consider deer movement and concealment. Using evergreen trees can provide better cover for hunters. Shooting lanes should be trimmed to allow for natural deer movement. Mobile hunting requires adaptability and quick decision-making. Pruners are essential for adjusting setups in the field. Concealment can be enhanced with creative cover solutions. Permanent stands require more planning and thought. Understanding the landscape is crucial for successful hunting. Tree stand placement is crucial for successful hunting. Cover shiny labels on gear to avoid detection by deer. Comfort in the tree stand can affect hunting success. Movement in the tree can be more pronounced in saddles. Noise from equipment can alert deer more than movement. Saddles offer mobility but require practice to master. Trail cameras should be placed strategically away from stands. Food plots should be located based on deer movement patterns. Access and exit routes are vital for minimizing deer disturbance. Safety precautions are essential when setting up tree stands. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Max Trescott and Rob Mark launch the first episode of NTSB News Talk, diving into NTSB agency news, recent accidents and newly published NTSB reports to help pilots better understand accident causes and improve decision-making in the cockpit. Please help us improve the show by sending us your feedback here. To hear future episodes of NTSB News Talk, Follow or Subscribe to the show in your podcast app. They begin with a surprising administrative shake-up: the unexplained termination of NTSB Vice Chairman Alvin Brown . Rob questions the lack of transparency, pointing out how an independent agency like the NTSB should not be subject to political scapegoating without clear justification. Max brings up that the NTSB is hiring . Next, they turn to cockpit video recorders—a long-recommended safety item by the NTSB. While commercial pilots and unions resist them on privacy grounds, Max and Rob argue that video can play a vital role in understanding pilot behavior and causes of crashes, especially in general aviation where data is often limited. Rob references Matt Thurber's editorial advocating for video recorders and highlights tools like CloudAhoy that already allow post-flight review. The hosts then discuss several accidents. One involved a Cessna 207 in Alaska that crashed during a go-around, possibly due to a dog on the runway. They examine when it's safer to land versus abort, and why go-around procedures—rarely practiced—are often poorly executed, even by experienced pilots. Two Citabria crashes raise density altitude concerns. One near Big Creek, Idaho , ended with no survivors; the other, in Wyoming, occurred during a flight to spread ashes . A partial engine power loss, high terrain, and low climb capability proved fatal. Both hosts emphasize how critical it is for instructors to teach performance limitations in high-elevation operations, especially in underpowered aircraft. Max talked about a Fireboss firefighting seaplane that ditched in the Atlantic, killing the pilot, while on a ferry flight to the Azores. He mentioned that experience ferry pilot Sarah Rovner talked in detail about ferry piloting issues in episode 379 of the Aviation News Talk podcast. Another incident highlights poor weather decision-making. A Piper PA-28 crashed near Mount Equinox, Vermont after entering icing conditions in IMC. The non-instrument-rated pilot, traveling with family on a ski trip, stalled and crash-landed. The hosts explain how "get-there-itis" and poor weather avoidance can prove fatal, and caution against pressing on in marginal conditions—especially with passengers aboard. The episode's deep dive analyzes the fatal accident of N611VG, a Citation 560 over Virginia. The pilot lost cabin pressure at high altitude and became incapacitated due to insufficient supplemental oxygen. The aircraft, operating Part 91, had numerous maintenance discrepancies—including an empty oxygen bottle and neglected pressurization issues. The pilot and passengers perished. Rob emphasizes that maintenance negligence is a silent killer, and guests aboard privately owned aircraft may have no idea about their true safety risks. Max and Rob conclude with a discussion on high-altitude emergency procedures, including explosive decompression response. They urge pilots to practice rapid descents to VMO and recognize the signs of hypoxia before it's too late. Finally, they encourage all pilots—regardless of experience—to schedule a flight review with an instructor to refresh skills like go-arounds and emergency descents. This debut episode delivers clear, actionable safety lessons and insider insight into real-world aviation accidents. It's a must-listen for pilots, CFIs, aircraft owners, and anyone serious about flight safety and learning from the NTSB's findings.

At 55 years old, Joey was living with 7 herniated discs and had been in chronic pain for almost 20 years. He suffered from:✅ L5-S1, L4-L5, L3-L4, L2-L3, L1-L2 (ALL 5 lumbar discs herniated!)✅ T12-L1, T11-T12 (thoracic-lumbar herniations)His pain first started in 2007, when a debilitating back spasm left him stuck on the ground, unable to move.For nearly two decades after, he dealt with severe back pain and sciatica flare-ups every 6-7 months. He tried everything to get better:❌ Epidural injections – only temporary relief❌ Physical therapy – generic exercises, no lasting change❌ Decompression therapy – expensive and ineffective❌ Inversion tables & back braces – no long-term results❌ Surgery consultations – told he'd be in and out of the hospital for lifeWith nothing working, Joey assumed this was just his reality—until he took a chance on the Whealth Limitless Program.How Whealth Limitless Changed EverythingAt first, Joey was skeptical (like most of our members) —he had already tried so much without success.But within just a few weeks, he started feeling a difference.And in a few months, he was completely pain-free for the first time in over a decade. Now, he's:✅ Back to playing golf after 14 YEARS away from the sport✅ Running his landscaping business PAIN-FREE✅ Waking up without thinking about his back pain✅ Living life without fear of flare-upsJoey is proof that you CAN heal—even with multiple herniations and decades of pain.

In this episode of The Christ Cycle, Maurice Harker explores two essential phases of Christ's journey: decompression and rejuvenation. Christ regularly withdrew from the crowds to seek solitude, prayer, and renewal, demonstrating that even the Son of God needed moments of rest and reflection. His example teaches us the necessity of stepping back from life's demands to restore our energy, gain clarity, and reconnect with our divine purpose.We'll discuss how decompression helps prevent burnout, strengthens spiritual resilience, and fosters emotional balance. We'll also examine the practice of rejuvenation—how Christ recharged through solitude, scripture, and communion with God, and how we can apply these principles in our own lives. Discover how to create your own "desert place" for solitude, set healthy boundaries, and embrace Christlike renewal in your daily journey.Want to read the book: ⁠https://bit.ly/TheChristCycleAudioBook

In this episode of the PFC Podcast, Dennis and John discuss the ongoing updates and changes within the Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) guidelines. They delve into the role of the TTC Committee, the importance of literature reviews in developing algorithms for trauma care, and the proposed changes to the March algorithm, emphasizing the need for resuscitation before decompression. The conversation also covers the overhaul of the analgesic section, the recommendations for antibiotics, and the role of TXA in treating hemorrhagic shock. Additionally, they touch on the significance of triage in mass casualty situations and the future directions of the committee's work. Takeaways TCCC is continuously updated to reflect new research. Resuscitation should be prioritized over decompression in trauma care. The March algorithm may undergo significant changes to improve outcomes. Analgesic options are being re-evaluated due to supply issues. Rocephin is being recommended as a primary antibiotic. TXA is crucial for managing hemorrhagic shock in trauma patients. Triage protocols are essential for effective mass casualty management. The committee is open to innovative ideas and solutions. Training and education are vital for implementing new guidelines. Future meetings will focus on finalizing and voting on proposed changes.

This week the boys get back to work after a little Christmas break. Picking up where Haldane left off we get into more changes of the traditional dive tables.

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton tackle one of the most critical challenges faced by law enforcement officers: decompressing after a high-stress shift (Amazon Affiliate). The demands of the job don't end when the shift is over, and carrying the weight of the day home can take a toll on mental health, relationships, and overall well-being. You'll learn five practical strategies to transition from the intensity of work to home life, allowing you to mentally and emotionally “switch off” and focus on personal restoration and family connection. Why Decompression is Crucial for First Responders: Understand how the high-stress nature of law enforcement impacts your mental health and relationships, and why actively transitioning out of “work mode” is essential. Five Practical Examples and Remedies for Decompression: 1. Create a Transition Ritual: Example: Develop a post-shift routine, such as listening to calming music or an uplifting podcast on your drive home. Why It's Beneficial: Establishing a ritual signals to your brain that it's time to shift gears and leave work stress behind. 2. Physical Activity as a Stress Release: Example: Go for a run, hit the gym, or do yoga immediately after work to channel pent-up tension into physical movement. Why It's Beneficial: Exercise releases endorphins, reduces cortisol levels, and helps clear your mind after a demanding day. 3. Change Out of Your Uniform Promptly: Example: As soon as you get home, swap your uniform for comfortable, casual clothes. Why It's Beneficial: Physically removing the uniform creates a mental boundary between work and home life. 4. Communicate with Your Partner: Example: Take five minutes to share highlights or challenges of your day with your partner, then agree to shift the focus to family time. Why It's Beneficial: Sharing helps release emotional weight, while setting limits prevents the day's stress from dominating your evening. 5. Practice Mindfulness or Meditation: Example: Spend 10 minutes doing a breathing exercise or using a meditation app like Calm or Headspace. Why It's Beneficial: Mindfulness helps ground you in the present moment, reducing anxiety and improving emotional control. How to Separate Work from Home Life: Learn how setting boundaries between work and personal life can help you recharge emotionally and physically. The Role of Family Support: Discover how involving your family in your decompression routine can strengthen your relationships and create a healthier home environment. Long-Term Benefits of a Decompression Routine: Understand how consistent decompression habits lead to improved mental health, better job performance, and a stronger connection to your loved ones. Why This Matters: The stress of law enforcement doesn't have to follow you home. Developing intentional decompression habits can help you manage stress, improve relationships, and maintain a sense of balance. By focusing on these practical strategies, you can ensure that when the badge comes off, you're truly able to rest, recover, and reconnect.

In this insightful episode, Dr. FJ delves into the strategic approach for attracting the right patients for decompression therapy, focusing on those with stenosis, disc issues, and radiculopathies. Dr. FJ emphasizes the importance of clearly communicating the benefits of decompression therapy—faster healing and reduced treatment time—while also outlining the costs of not opting for it, such as prolonged recovery and increased treatment duration. Dr. FJ advises practitioners to detach emotionally from the outcome and offer decompression therapy to all suitable candidates, regardless of their initial interest. He highlights the therapy's potential to significantly boost collections and revenue, noting its delegable nature, which can streamline practice operations. The episode also covers essential tips for building trust with patients, simplifying the offering process, and leveraging collective learning for continuous improvement. Dr. FJ concludes with a call to action for practitioners to maintain high standards, focus on patient benefits, and support one another in the pursuit of excellence. Action Items: Refine marketing strategies to target patients with stenosis and disc issues. Clearly explain the benefits and potential costs of decompression therapy. Offer decompression therapy impartially to suitable candidates. Leverage delegation to enhance practice efficiency and revenue.

Alan Fredendall // #TechniqueThursday // www.ptonice.com  In today's episode of the PT on ICE Daily Show, ICE Chief Operating Officer Alan Fredendall discusses the difference between myofascial decompression & cupping, if myofascial decompression works or not, and how to elevate the use of myofascial decompression in practice Take a listen to the podcast episode or check out the full show notes on our blog at www.ptonice.com/blog.

EPISODE TRANSCRIPTION ALAN FREDENDALLMyofascial decompression. What is it? How does it work? Does it work? And how can you elevate what you're currently doing practice if you're already implementing this style of soft tissue treatment? WHAT IS MYOFASCIAL DECOMPRESSION? So let's take it from the top and let's talk about what is myofascial decompression, sometimes abbreviated MFD. and how is it different from cupping? So you may consider these in your mind to be synonymous and that is very very wrong. Why? Calling myofascial decompression cupping is really a misnomer because if we dig deep people have been cupping each other for many many many thousands of years. It comes from eastern medicine and you may have seen it in practice, maybe you do it in practice, maybe you've seen it on social media or the internet, and you see people laying in a static position, sometimes with their whole body covered in plastic or glass cups, right? And so that is cupping, that is sitting in a static position, that is using things like meridian or chi points, the idea that maybe we're removing toxins from the body, and you may even heard of something called wet cupping, where we pull blood to the surface with a cup, and then maybe we puncture it with a needle or a knife and we draw blood out of people. So all of that is kind of in the sphere of the term cupping. And what's very, very, very different about myofascial decompression is that we are using some sort of pump, manual or automatic, to get a decompressive effect through the tissue. And in the context of myofascial decompression, we are always, always, always, always, including movement. We are never having people lay statically with just cups on their body. We are not educating them that we're removing toxins from their body or altering their chi or anything like that. And certainly, hopefully, you are not cutting people open and using the decompressive pressure of the cups to suck blood out of their body, right? And so that is the difference between cupping and myofascial decompression. Both use plastic or glass cups, but they come from very, very different paradigms in why we're using it, what we're doing, and the effect that we're hoping to have. So with myofascial decompression, we know now with MRI studies that when we put these cups on, if we have enough pressure, we know that we can put hundreds of millimeters of mercury of pressure through this cup, and that we can sometimes reach the level of the bone. And so we are decompressing not only just the skin and the fascia beneath the skin, but down to the level of the muscle, fascia between levels of muscle, and even deeper levels of muscle all the way down to the bone. And so thinking about the various levels, when you look at your forearm, for example, what is between you and the outside layer of your skin and the bone? Several layers of tissue. We have our epidermis, we have our dermis, we have super fascial tissue and fascia, we have deep fascia, and then we get into the fascia in and around the muscle. We have the epimysium, we have the paramycium, and we have the endomysium. And that we know with a large enough cup and enough pressure from one of our pressure guns that again we can reach the level of the bone. So we're using higher pressures combined with movement to create this decompressive and sometimes sheer force effect on the tissue, combining the decompression with the movement, that is myofascial decompression. And that is how much different it is from traditional maybe Eastern medicine, quote unquote, just cupping. So the second question that we often get and the second point I want to make is often, does it work? There is a lot of myths on social media and the internet that this is not doing anything, that this could never cause a change in tissue. and that is team Patently Untrue. Certainly, if you do this wrong, you can be very ineffective with this style of treatment, but if you do it right, it can be very, very effective. So I wanna give a shout out to Dr. Chris DiPrato. He's a physical therapist out in the Bay Area of California. You may have heard of him. He owns the company Cup Therapy. He teaches myofascial decompression courses. We had the pleasure of taking one of his courses a couple weeks ago when he was here in Michigan, and we had a great time. In particular, I love to learn all the research he had to share. And some of that research around does this actually work is pretty mind opening. And my point with today's podcast is that when we elevate our techniques, we elevate the efficacy and the efficiency of our techniques as well. And again, certainly, if you do this wrong or sloppy, you will have a minimum effect on the tissue. But if you do it right, you can have a profound effect on the soft tissue of the body. DOES IT ACTUALLY WORK? And Chris shares that in his course when he seeks to answer the question, does it actually work? Chris has used cups with myofascial decompression on embalmed cadavers. He has used them on fresh or what may be called wet cadavers. And he has used them on live living people in an MRI tube and looked at what is happening to the tissue when we have a large cup with a lot of pressure in it. What do we see? And what he has seen over the years doing these studies himself of having people in MRI tubes is that with a large enough cup and enough pressure, again, we can begin to decompress multiple layers of tissue, fascia, muscle all the way down to the level of the bone, which is pretty significant. And that in general, the more hydrated the tissue, the more decompressive effect we have seen. So when he has tested this on embalmed cadavers where all of the body water, liquid blood, everything is removed and the tissue is essentially dried out, we see a minimal effect when we use this technique. But when we use it on a fresh or wet cadaver or a living person that still has blood, all the sorts of fluid that we have inside of our body, that we get a much more profound effect. And more importantly, looking at these MRI studies, we see that not only do we see that effect in the moment, but that we see that effect for at least three to five days after we have done the myofascial decompression. So what is it? It is a technique using high pressure with movement to create a decompressive effect and some sheer force on the body. And does it work? Yes, if you do it right. So that's what I want to spend the rest of this podcast episode discussing. INTERLUDE Before I do that, I just want to introduce myself. My name is Alan. I have the pleasure of surfing as our chief operating officer here at ICE and a faculty member in our fitness athlete and practice management divisions. This is Technique Thursday. On Thursdays, we either cover leadership topics or we cover technique topics. Today is a technique topic today. And it is Technique Thursday, which also means it is Gut Check Thursday. This week's Gut Check Thursday comes from our own fitness athlete faculty member, Joe Hinesco, who sent me a nice little number for you all to do this week. It is every two minutes, hop on a fan bike, an echo or a salt bike, hammer out 20 calories for the guys or 15 for the ladies. And then any remaining time in that two minute window, you're going to do max repetitions of a barbell thruster. with the prescribed weight of 95 for guys and 65 for ladies. The goal there getting hopefully at least 10 thrusters every round and your workout is finished when you hit 75 thrusters. So the moment you hit that 75th thruster you are done with the workout. So it rewards an aggressive start, it rewards somebody who can be aggressive on the bike but still hop off and pick up that barbell and do big sets of thrusters. So If you try that and you hated it, send all that shade towards Joe. He's the one that came up with this workout, so send that his way. And then I just want to plug again, Chris DePrato cuptherapy.com. He has live and online courses, a level one course, a level two course, both live and online. And if you finish today's episode and you want to learn more about this, maybe you're like me and you kind of just started doing this without any formal training. I promise you, if you take his courses, you will come away with a lot of very actionable stuff that's going to do nothing but elevate these techniques in your own clinical practice. So let's talk about this. PRACTICAL APPLICATION Let's talk about practical application. First things first, if you have done cuffing before, You have probably seen clear cups. What's the difference? We also have cups. These are rock pods. We have these in the clinic as well. What is the main difference? The main difference is that I cannot control the pressure with something like a rock pod. All I can do is essentially stick it on my skin and get whatever pressure comes out of it, right? That might be not enough pressure to do anything and I may have to reset it. And then I basically am just getting lucky maybe with enough pressure for the patient to maybe feel something. But this is not ideal. It does not have a way for us to control the pressure. It does not have a way for us to objectively measure how much pressure we're using. And most importantly, we can't see through this, right? We can't see the tissue. We can't see what's happening underneath the tissue. There is some important stuff that can happen inside of a clear cup that you'll want to see. and I won't steal Chris's thunder, I'll have you take his course to learn that, but it's really important that we have a clear cup, and that we have some sort of control over the pressure, that we have some sort of pump gun, automatic or manual, to pump up the pressure, and really be sure we're just not getting a random application every time we put on a cup like a rock pot. So what does that look like? We have a manual gun, right? It has a trigger here, you connect it to the cup, and you pull pressure out, right? You decompress. And then with this style of cup, you just squeeze to let the air out. Now, what's great about Chris and Cup Therapy that has really made me feel good about this technique is they have solved the problem of how much pressure exactly am I using so that I can be sure if I repeat this treatment in the future, or maybe somebody else has to repeat this treatment for me, they're using the same pressure as me. Lo and behold, the automatic pressure gun, right? So you can see right here, if you're listening on the podcast, you can't see anything. So go over to our YouTube channel, or our Instagram page and watch me on the video. But what you'll see here is we have a pressure gauge, right? And it's measured in millimeters of mercury. It goes from zero up to 760 millimeters of mercury. And as you apply the cup, you will see the pressure gauge change. And that can dial you in more on how much pressure you're putting through the cup. And again, let you hopefully repeat that treatment in the future. And also be sure you're reaching the levels of tissue depth that you want to be working at. So this is a very, very great tool. This is brand new as of this year, I believe. So if you've taken his course before, you'll want to jump on cuptherapy.com and buy one of these. But this is very, very, very, very nice. And so I'm going to put this on myself. I'm going to put some, just some free up, and then I'm going to show you all how great it is with this auto pressure gun. So just putting some lotion over the area where I'm going to apply the cup. I'm going to apply the hose to the cup like so, and then I'm going to squeeze the pressure gun. Doing this one handed is super tough, but I think we can get it. There we go. And so you can hear the gun working a bit. And now as I take the hose off, you can see some pretty darn good pressure, right? A lot of tissue deformation right there, a couple of inches of skin fascia and muscle pulled into the cup. And I can tell you, this is a very different feeling than just having something like a rock pod or otherwise just a squeeze application silicone cup. This is right on the border between discomfort and pain. However, it is enough pressure that I could move those muscles. I could do a bicep curl. I could do pull-ups. I could move my forearm through whatever range of motion I wanted to, and you can see that cup is not going anywhere, and that comes down to making sure that we have enough pressure through the cup that we're reaching not only enough pressure that we can move with the cup on, but again, that we're reaching the levels of tissue depth that we want to achieve. And that is very, very easy to do with the automatic pressure gun. Let's talk about those pressures. What are they? If we really want to reach deep muscle or reach even the levels of intermuscular tissue and fascia, we need to have a lot of pressure through these cups. We need to have 300 to 600 millimeters of mercury. What is the problem with a cup like this? Or what is the problem with the manual gun? I have no idea what pressure I'm at, right? Hence the importance of the pressure gauge on the new automatic gun. Going down in pressures, if I just want to reach the level of the deep fascia, the pressure comes down a bit, 200 to 400 millimeters of mercury. And then if I want to stay superficial, even maybe if I just want to promote some lymph flow, maybe a patient has some swelling or some lymphedema, I can keep the pressure really light, 40 to maybe 150 millimeters of mercury. Again, how can I be sure I'm keeping pressure light enough to only promote lymph flow? Well, with something like a silicone cup or even the manual gun, I have no idea how heavy or how light my pressure is. And so again, it reinforces the need for that automatic pressure gun. And now I would say the key here, and again, the difference between myofascial decompression and cupping is that when we have these cups on, we're doing some sort of movement, right? Chris will take you through a whole protocol in his course of how to get the cups on and how to slowly introduce movement to an area, especially maybe if it's very restricted or very painful, but also different applications using lighter or deeper pressures to inhibit or facilitate different muscles. For example, he's a big fan of putting cups with heavy pressure on the traps for somebody who does a really contrived trap shrug when they lift overhead. And if you want to maybe isolate the deltoids or the upper back, and sort of think about turning the traps off a bit, we can stick some cups on the trap and really put a lot of pressure through those cups. It's going to be really hard to engage and move those traps, and it's going to promote movement through the muscles that we want to target. Again, maybe the deltoids or the upper back. And he has a number of different examples and circuits scenarios for you in his class but the key is the pressure matters and we can't know what pressure we're at if we don't have an objective way to measure it and then track it over time and for me that was a big game-changer what I learned is I was simply not using enough pressure using something like a silicone cup or or using something like a clear cup, but with just the manual gun. Simply not putting enough pressure into the cup to get the treatment effects that I was looking for. And certainly, probably not being light enough on the other end, if I wanted to do something like promote lymph flow, or I just wanted to have some cups on some muscles to facilitate muscle activation, I was probably going too light for deeper structures and too hard for more superficial structures. or movement facilitation. And again, the automatic gun with the pressure gauge changed all of that. SUMMARY So what is myofascial decompression? It is not cupping. It is using pressure, specifically various ranges of pressure depending on the level of tissue that we want to target. always combined with movement to promote movement through that muscle, movement through that tissue. That is very different from cupping where people typically lay in a static position, have a number of different cups applied to them, usually with no idea how much pressure is being put through that cup. Does it work? Yes, if you do it right, it works. As with most things in life, if you do it wrong, it won't work very well. And so understanding that if we have enough pressure through a large enough cup, we can move through several layers of tissue, including all the way down to the level of the bone, which is probably much more of a pronounced effect than maybe we ever thought possible. How can we get better at this? I would recommend if you haven't yet that you take Chris's course. You learn where to put these cups to target different muscles, to target different movement patterns, and that more importantly than anything else, you get yourself that automatic gun either from Chris's website or that you get with the level two course where you have that objective pressure grade knowing that different levels of pressure will target different structures and have different treatment effects. So it's really important we know what those are and what we're trying to achieve with that patient in front of us. us. So I hope this was helpful. Big shout out again to Chris. I reached out to him before doing this episode and just ran this by him and we really appreciate all of his collaboration. You'll notice that ICE does not have a myofascial decompression course. We think Chris is doing it better than anybody else and if it's not broke, don't fix it. So just go see Chris if you want to learn more about this. He runs a fantastic course, very evidence-based, Very movement focused, which you know, anything from us here at ICE, that's what we're all about. So just go see Chris if you want to learn more about this. I hope you all have a wonderful Thursday. Have fun with Gut Check. I don't think you will. Again, if you hate it, just send Joe those nasty messages. Just pass me right on by and go right to Joe. And I hope you have a wonderful weekend and a fantastic Thursday. Bye everybody.

EPISODE TRANSCRIPTION LINDSEY HUGHEYPT on ICE Daily Show, waiting for YouTube and Instagram to catch up. So we are live on both. How's it going? I am joining you again this week on the PT on ICE Daily Show. Welcome. I'm Dr. Lindsey Hughey. I currently serve as one of the division leads at extremity management. And today I want to share with you a myofascial decompression technique for patellar tendinopathy. So today is either Technique Tuesday or Leadership Thursday. So we're bringing Technique Thursday to you all live. My model today is Daniel, my son. So what I want to unpack is a little bit about how do we know someone has patellar tendinopathy and who this might be appropriate for. with patellar tendinopathy, show you the technique, literally just demo it for you live, what you do, and then we'll chat also like how do you know the treatment worked. So we'll talk a little bit about our test retest options for patellar tendinopathy. And then we'll call it a morning technique Thursday, not Tuesday. Great to be with you all again. So first things first, someone with patellar tendinopathy is going to complain of a recent spike in load. Usually it's energy storage and release activities like jumping, sprinting. The other complaint, vice versa, they might have is that a dramatic de-load where they haven't, maybe it's their off season and then they stopped loading completely. this might flare up that patellar tendon. They will complain of pain with energy storage movements, and they'll specifically complain of pain right at the patellar tendon, where that inferior border of the patella sits to the tibial tubercle. When you palpate that as the clinician, that will be tender to palpation. Often when they extend their knees, so you're doing manual muscle testing of quadriceps, that will also cause their symptoms to blip. Having them do a one-legged squat on a slant board is another load test that will often bring on symptoms. The person with moderate to high irritability, patellar tendinopathy, often has coinciding hypertonicity throughout their quadriceps. So when you palpate, it's not just that patellar tendon that is bothering them. Like their quad also is kind of guarded around that knee joint. So myofascial decompression can be a great adjunct to treatment. If you've heard any podcasts that I've done on tendinopathy, you know, that load is our love language, or if you've been at our course, you know that. So ultimately, the teller tendinopathy is going to be healed by high tensile loading that involves loading the local tendon, the local muscle, quadriceps, the chain, and then off eventually gets into energy surge and release. So know this treatment technique that I'm about to show you is just an adjunct to care that creates a modulating window of opportunity to load that person better. So consider it's moderate to high irritability human. And so that's someone that like not just is their activity or sport starting to get interrupted. It's usually our basketball or volleyball players, but also like daily life is starting to get aggravated. They're not sleeping as well. Their performance has dropped. These folks need that treatment that kind of takes that edge off. So without further ado, you kind of understand who the person with teller tendinopathy is, who would be good to execute this treatment on. I want to show it to you. So I'm going to kind of move the camera around just a tiny bit. so that you can really see the quadriceps. So we're going to do one of two things. We'll make sure we've exposed the area. I want to not only get myofascial decompression to the quadriceps and hit each part, but I also want to decompress that patella and the patellar tendon. So to first decompress the patellar tendon and the patella, I'm going to use a silicone cup. So these silicone cups are awesome. The way we'll apply these is we're going to create negative pressure. So you really want to squish this in and then apply firm pressure down with your body, being mindful that this could be an irritating area. The way I would explain it to the patient is we're using this cup to just kind of offload that bone, that patella, and then offload the patellar tendon a bit. So I'm going to create that negative suction and compression. If you have very hairy patients, you're going to want to put some lubricant like a Biotone around that. Just a little bit will go a long way, but again, more hair endowed folks might need a little bit more. So we're going to go here. I'm going to create that negative pressure, I'm going to press down, and then if I've done a good job creating that suction, there'll actually be a little dip or dimple in the silicone cup. The cups I'm using today are from Chris DiPrato and his team. They are amazing cup therapy if you follow them on social media. I love their products. This comes in their kit, this silicone cup, and then their curved cups. These are actually their newest ones are what I'm going to use to hit the vastus lateralis, to hit vastus medialis, and then I really want to get after rectus femoris. I want to make sure I hit all three parts. You can't really get that intermedius without a needle. So we're going to hit those main more superficial areas. So we're going to hit that vastus lateralis first. And then I'm going to place that curved cup and then create suction with our gun. And there's various guns. This is a manual pump that you can use. There's ones with gauges and then electronic gauges. We want about 300 to 600 millimeters of mercury if you do have that pressure gauge that actually gives you a reading. So we'll hit vastus lateralis in two different spots. So one here and then one a little higher. I'll step away so you can see. Then we're going to want to go vastus medialis. So now I'm just on that inner part of the quadriceps. And then we want to hit that rectus femoris and I can hit here and then I can even do one more a little bit higher. I want to show you just there's, these are the newest curve cups. These are awesome as well. So I wanted to show you that. We'll go a little higher and we're really trying to hit that muscle belly here, not tendon. So then this is attached to patient. And I'm not just going to leave him sit here. So I promised him I wouldn't actually make him move. So I'm just going to talk through this. But I'd actually have him do some knee extension with those on. So mod to hired ability, we want to create an analgesic response. So we'll have them do some isometrics, shooting for that 45 second hold, trying to do five reps. So we'd start with just probably doing like a quad set where he'd like push his knee down and then maybe lift a little bit or combine it with a straight leg raise. That would be like level one. As soon as we can get him up and weight-bearing, I want to do like a wall sit or a Spanish squat with these on. So he's in this decompressed, he, they, she, whoever your patient is, decompressed state, and they're still loading. So it's not a static laying there thing or treatment. So once cups are applied, right, I do some kind of active treatment. I've named a few. Lowest level would be that knee extension with a lift and or just doing a nice quad set, then getting to a wall sit or a Spanish squat in a reduced range. We usually start about 60 degrees. And then we take the cups off, right? Reassess the soft tissue. Daniel's probably like, please take these cups off, mom. What we'll do is reassess the soft tissue, but not just the soft tissue. I want to see, is there less hypertonicity? I want to see, is the tendon, after I've palpated it, become a little less tender to palpation? In addition, I want to probably test a load test, like that slant board, if we had just tested that. And you may even see a change in motor response. So if you took your dynamometer, took a quadriceps reading, and then also got an NPRS, did this treatment, Then retested using your dynamometer, you often will see not only a change in pain, but you can even see motor uptick. So an increase in that strength measurement just because pain has now dampened. So this treatment doesn't take a long time, but can be super effective for our patients with that mod to high irritability where life is starting to get interrupted by their patellar pain. SUMMARY Thank you for joining me this morning to learn one of my favorite techniques that I'll use for my folks with patellar tendinopathy. I hope you all have beautiful clinical Thursdays, whatever you do in the clinic, and will consider using this with your patient. If you want to learn more about research concerning patellar tendinopathy and how to load your folks well, join us on a weekend soon in extremity management. So we will be in not only North Dakota, but also in South Carolina, August 24th, 25th. So you have two opportunities coming up, and that'll be our last opportunity of the summer. So really jump in if you haven't yet. And if you want to learn a little bit about some myofascial decompression techniques, our colleague Chris DiPrato, we're a big fan of his courses. We also integrate that in our courses as well. So thanks again for joining me. Cheers. Happy Thursday, everyone. OUTRO Hey, thanks for tuning in to the PT on Ice daily show.
