This is the episode that will help you understand the opportunities and functionality of dry needling! Host Erin Gallardo, PT, DPT, NCS interviews Tyler Niemack, PT, DPT, OCS, Functional Dry Needling Certified Specialist about how dry needling can be used not just to relax tight muscles, but to "reset" the neuromuscular system and improve function. Tyler, who teaches Dry Needling Certification courses for Evidence In Motion explains how PTs approach dry needling differently from acupuncturists, using their orthopedic and neurological assessment skills to decide whether to target spinal segments, peripheral nerves, or specific muscles. Through examples ranging from rotator cuff issues to stroke, spasticity, and Parkinson's disease, he describes using dry needling as not just a treatment tool but also a diagnostic. He also shares his 3 R's approach to treatment: Reset, Reinforce and Reload. They discuss fascia, pain perception, emerging research on how needling changes the brain's pain maps, and ongoing legal barriers in states where PTs still cannot perform dry needling. Tyler encourages clinicians to think of themselves as neuro-orthopedic specialists and to use neuroanatomy and sound clinical reasoning to get the most from this very promising intervention. **Apologies for some tech malfunctions that occurred in the recording. They don't take away from the learning, but wanted to mention there are a couple of glitchy spots. Thank you for understanding!

In this week's episode of FOX Rehabilitation's Live Better Longer podcast, FOX Regional Director John Dominski, PT, DPT, OCS, COMT, joins the conversation to explore the future of healthcare and the evolving role of physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech-language pathologists. John shares why the profession must continue shifting from reactive care to proactive, preventative models—and how PTs can function as primary care providers of functional health. He paints a vision of a system that fully integrates PTAs, COTAs, and fitness specialists to support patients across the lifespan. The discussion unpacks the idea of “flipping the funnel,” emphasizing early intervention over downstream treatment. John also speaks directly to students and clinicians on preparing for this shift, changing long‑held mindsets, and advocating for the value of PT amid ongoing Medicare cuts.
Learn about scoliosis rehab with Lauren Ferrante, PT, DPT, OCS. Explore home exercises, manual therapies, and AT tools for scoliosis. Q: What are the most important home exercises for scoliosis? A: Key home exercises focus on spinal mobility, especially for those who sit frequently. Cat-cows and thoracic rotation are crucial. Depending on comfort level, core activation exercises like supine marches or dead-bug isometrics are beneficial. When supine, tactile cues help maintain spinal symmetry. Bridges or modified side planks are good starting points, with progression as needed. Q: Which scoliosis treatment method is best for high school age, considering the Schroth Method helps the 10-15 age group? A: The Schroth Method can be used for older populations, but it is generally less effective for high school age individuals compared to younger ones. For this age group, focusing on functional core strengthening can also be beneficial. Q: Are Pilates or yoga safe and recommended for young athletes with scoliosis? A: Yes, Pilates and yoga are highly recommended for individuals with scoliosis, including young athletes. These activities promote continued mobility and strength, which are vital for managing scoliosis. The most important aspect is to find an activity they enjoy and consistently engage in it. Q: What manual therapies are effective for scoliosis, and is dry needling helpful? A: Effective manual therapies include thoracic gapping and rib mobilizations, particularly in a side-lying position to encourage rib expansion. The specific therapy depends on the patient’s individual needs and curve patterns. Dry needling is not frequently utilized for scoliosis treatment according to the provided information. Q: How often are lordotic curves seen in individuals with thoracic scoliosis? A: Lordotic curves are quite common in individuals with thoracic scoliosis. If a person has a mid-thoracic curve, their body often adjusts by developing a compensatory lordotic curve. Therefore, this presentation is observed frequently. Q: How do current trends, such as phone and gaming use, contribute to setbacks or overcorrection in scoliosis? A: The impact of phone and gaming trends on scoliosis setbacks depends on individual patient motivation and activity levels. For athletes, it’s often less of an issue, as it’s unrealistic to maintain one position for extended periods. For minimally active individuals, parental encouragement to move around every hour, regardless of the activity, is important. Q: How often are active populations braced for scoliosis? A: Braces for scoliosis are typically prescribed by pediatric orthopedic specialists. For junior high and high school-aged children, as they mature, the need for braces often decreases, and they may not be in them very much. Q: What are the three most important practical tools for Athletic Trainers (ATs) regarding scoliosis? A: The three most important practical tools for Athletic Trainers when addressing scoliosis are observation for signs of scoliosis, implementing exercises on a mat or table, and utilizing a wall for exercises with minimal equipment.

Today's guest is Zac Cupples, PT, DPT, OCS, CSCS, a physical therapist and strength coach known for bridging rehabilitation and performance. He's the founder of ZacCupples.com and is respected for translating complex concepts around respiration and movement mechanics into practical tools coaches and clinicians can immediately apply to improve efficiency, reduce pain, and enhance performance. The bridge between sports performance rehab is an important one. In the midst of movement mechanics that drive good rehab, and high intensity lifting, lies the knowledge that can help athletes make continual gains while staying robust and healthy for their sport. On today's show, Zac explores how an athlete's structure influences movement, strength training, and even injury risk. He shares his track background and how it shaped his coaching, then unpacks concepts like narrow vs. wide “ISA” builds, why some athletes struggle to feel their hamstrings in traditional lifts, and how tools like front loading, box squats, machines, and sprinting can solve it. He also digs into long-duration isometrics, mobility vs. flexibility, and finishes with a fun lightning round. Today's episode is brought to you by Hammer Strength.

"It assumes everyone has the same body but no two people are going to perform both of those movements the same way, and it's not going to load the same way." "I start the majority of people with a box squat, because the way I think about a hinge is it's different from a squat because the hips are going to be moving more along that horizontal path." "It's way more useful to think, am I moving up and down? Am I moving side to side? And then just pick exercises within what a person has available." "If someone can't produce certain rotations, and I know that you need those rotations to do this movement, you probably got to find something else to train that pattern within their constraints." "You just have to find the hinge variation that they can execute. And if they don't have much to do that, you have to create constraints." About Zac Cupples Zac Cupples, PT, DPT, OCS, CSCS is a physical therapist, strength coach, and educator specializing in human movement, respiration, and performance optimization. He is the founder of ZacCupples.com and has become widely known for translating complex biomechanical and neurophysiological concepts into practical strategies that clinicians and coaches can immediately apply.

Hour 4 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: No one thought the Seahawks and Patriots would be in the Super Bowl. The Super Bowl does have two defensive coaches, but two very good to great OCs. The press conference is going to be a lot about McCarthy being from Pittsburgh and the idea that Will Howard could be the guy. If McCarthy gives Howard a chance to be the starter, Starkey thinks he will win over Steelers fans.

Do the Steelers have to shoot for an offensive minded guy in this hiring process? The only two guys they have interviewed that fall under that umbrella are Mike McCarthy and Klay Kubiak. It's not as good of a cycle as last year was with offensive brainpower, but there needs to be a plan to build the offense and have an idea at QB. Is there a concern that if the Steelers go with a defensive leader they are left looking for OCs every few seasons?

Is there a concern that if the Steelers go with a defensive leader they are left looking for OCs every few seasons? Would Mike McCarthy be an F-hire? Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk joined the show. Mike said it's not your father's (or grandfather's) Steelers in reaction to Mike McCarthy being among the favorites for the Steelers job. Mike thinks the Steelers should pivot to an offensive guy because of the way the game has changed. Mike doesn't agree with the belief that a McCarthy hire would mean an Aaron Rodgers return to Pittsburgh. Mike brought up an interesting postgame comment made by McCarthy following a playoff loss a few years ago in Dallas. He said there are some attention-to-detail things McCarthy falls short in. Mike thinks Brian Flores would return to Minnesota if he doesn't get a head coaching job. Mike talked about the projection there is when hiring someone like Nate Scheelhaase, who has never been a coordinator before, let alone head coach. Mike still believes Chris Shula makes the most sense for the Steelers. Mike said the Steelers are only competing with the Ravens and the Bills, and those teams could be going in opposite directions at head coach.
My guest today, director Robert Ham, has lived a life of service -- to his country, to art, to his family -- and it moved me deeply to host him for the podcast. We talk about his military service in the Army as a combat cameraman; losing his wife to cancer and making a documentary about her beautiful life, of honoring a 9/11 family with his latest film, ZZASLOW K-427, which is screening in New York City on January 18th, 2026.And if this sounds heavy, that's the duopoly of sometimes difficult service. I can't speak to any other profession like medicine that often walks the line so closely with the fragility of life, but in the military, a positive outlook even in the harshest conditions is the only way you'll make it through, and that spirit is reflected today on the podcast. Welcome to our world. In this episode, Robert and I discuss:the instant rapport of veterans, immaterial of branch and age;how he joined the military as a combat cameraman and the advice he'd giving aspiring filmmakers thinking about joining the military (OCS is officer candidate school; new recruits can attend with a four-year degree);how he became the most decorated combat cameraperson in Army history;graduate school at USC and earning a Tillman Scholarship from the Pat Tillman Foundation;why he started his own production company, HAMMR Productions;the challenge of showing PTSD on screen and what he thinks of veteran-focused films;weighing his own mental health with making realistic films about painful parts of his life;his reflections on MADE WITH MELANIE (2022) and his advice for people embarking on a similar journey;releasing indie films on YouTube;working on different topics than military related films?how INTERPRETERS WANTED (2023) is a great primer for learning more about the U.S. relationship with Afghanistan;why he edits his own projects;the story behind ZZASLOW K-427 (2025), which is screening in NYC on January 18th;the festival strategy for his films;what's next for him.Robert's Indie Film Highlights: WARFARE (2025) dir. by Ray Mendoza; MY DEAD FRIEND ZOE (2024) dir. by Kyle Hausmann-Stokes; HOLLYWOOD GRIT (2025) dir. by Ryan Curtis; SAND CASTLE (2017) dir. by Fernando Coimbra and Chris Roessner; Rebecca Murga; Maximilian Uriarte; Mike DowlingMemorable Quotes:"As going through the unique experience of being in the military and then coming out of the military and now being labeled a veteran, which becomes so much part of our personality...when I meet other veterans, it is that common bond.""I did extra work. I was a Marine in FLAGS OF OUR FATHERS (2006) as an extra.""Same thing with everybody in the military. It's hard. You're asked to do morally complicated things that you have to then live with. And so that's the first thing that I would approach it with is that like, where do you stand?""It feels like the further you get away from the source of anything, the further from the truth you're gonna get, right?""I've always used the camera to almost separate myself from the trauma.""All I could do was film. I don't know, I'm not a doctor, I'm not, I'm like trying to read these crazy things that she's researching and that we're looking together and taking notes when doctors tell us diagnoses and what we're trying to do and what options and medicines and stuff I've never heard of before.""We had the conversation about how we share this with the world and she just basically said, I trust you." "She was a great person. She was a wonderful woman. She deserved a film to be made about her." "It does come back down to my own inability to know how to help a helpless situation.""I have four kids. I'm married, I have a mortgage. So whoever calls up and says, we got a budget, I'm like, okay, let's do this.""I'm very self-critical of my edits and I don't hold onto things very closely. As a director, you shoot something and you're like, oh, this is it. And then the editor has to be like, no, that wasn't it."Links:Follow Robert On InstagramHAMMR ProductionsWatch MADE WITH MELANIE (2022)Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/first-time-go/exclusive-content

In this episode, Brian sits down with Steve Rapposelli, PT, OCS—longtime private practice owner, entrepreneur, and CEO of StretchPlex—to challenge one of the most overlooked revenue leaks in physical therapy private practice: what happens after discharge. As the profession looks toward 2026, this conversation reframes discharge as the end of a plan of care—not the end of opportunity. Brian and Steve explore how a cash-based wellness profit center can help PT owners move out of a scarcity mindset, reduce reliance on third-party payers, and create sustainable growth without increasing patient volume. Drawing from Steve's more than 30 years as a clinic owner and his experience building StretchPlex, this episode offers real-world insight into why the future of physical therapy is hybrid—and why wellness services like assisted stretching and recovery belong inside (or alongside) the modern PT practice. About Today's Guest Steve Rapposelli, PT, OCS is a physical therapist and entrepreneur with over three decades of experience in private practice. He is the co-owner of Performance Physical Therapy, where he has practiced since 1992, the CEO of StretchPlex, a cash-based wellness company focused on assisted stretching and recovery, and a co-owner of Performance Executive Coaching, where he helps practice owners rethink profitability, leadership, and long-term sustainability.

Lieutenant Commander (Retired) Drew Sinclair knows a thing or two about both of those, based on his unique and challenging personal journey. From enlisted Rescue Swimmer to OCS to a successful officer career, on the surface it seemed like Drew had it all figured out. But as a high functioning alcoholic, things below the surface weren't so great. After retiring Drew reinvented himself with a focus on a holistic approach to healthier living.Drew Sinclair is a retired U.S. Coast Guard Rescue Swimmer (#700) and Officer who spent more than two decades on the front lines of search and rescue. After overcoming childhood trauma, breaking generational cycles, and walking away from alcohol, Drew completely reinvented his life by rebuilding his identity, deepening his faith, and reshaping his priorities. He now leads a life centered on faith, family, fitness, and freedom.Drew travels full-time across America in an RV with his wife, three kids, two dogs, and a cat, documenting their journey while coaching busy men to reclaim their health through simple, disciplined hybrid training. His grounded, transparent storytelling, from mountain runs to mindset shifts, has inspired countless men to step back into a leadership role in their life and embrace strength and purpose.Drew's message is clear: life does not end at 40. It begins the moment you take ownership, make a decision, and commit to becoming the man you were meant to be. His story is not just about transformation. It is a blueprint for anyone ready to rebuild their life from the inside out.Follow Drew on his Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedrewsinclair/Our Drew (Hammond) mentioned discovering our guest Drew (Sinclair) through a facebook post, you can find that here: https://www.facebook.com/andrew.sinclair.1982/videos/when-i-retired-from-the-coast-guard-i-thought-everything-would-be-easyi-thought-/1296994402252868/We also make a couple references to a podcast episode more focused on his rescues, you can find that here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpwY-tCyqu0

Contributor: Taylor Lynch, MD Educational Pearls: What is orbital compartment syndrome, and how is it assessed in the emergency room? Orbital compartment syndrome (OCS) is an emergent ophthalmic condition in which intraorbital pressure in the orbital compartment rises dramatically, compromising perfusion of the optic nerve and retina, leading to risk of irreversible vision loss. OCS occurs in the context of traumatic lesions with retrobulbar hemorrhage. Intraocular pressures (IOP) are measured via tonometry as a surrogate for intraorbital pressures, with emergent pathology being present when IOP exceeds 30-40 mmHg (normal being around 20 mmHg). What might be some physical exam findings beyond increased IOP for orbital compartment syndrome? Proptosis (physical outward protrusion of eye) with resistance to being pushed posterior. Afferent pupillary defect (when the non-impacted eye has light shown into it, the impacted eye will have pupillary constriction, and when light is removed it will begin to dilate, but when light is shown into the impacted eye, it will not constrict and continue to dilate). Generalized complaints of vision loss or an inability to move the eye. What is the treatment for orbital compartment syndrome? Lateral canthotomy must be performed immediately upon clinical suspicion as permanent vision loss can occur within minutes to hours. Lateral canthotomy Step-by Step: Ideally have the patient sedated or highly cooperative. Numb and vasoconstrict the surrounding eye/orbital skin tissue with lidocaine and epinephrine. Take hemostats and clamp the interior and exterior eyelid at the lateral canthus at a 90º angle towards the orbital rim for 30-60 seconds to further devascularize the region. Take iris scissors and cut laterally to the orbital bone/rim to reveal the lateral lanthal tendon. Cut the inferior crus of the lateral lanthal tendon as this will provide the most significant reduction in IOP. Reassess IOP during each step of the procedure to measure procedure efficacy. If no pressure reduction is noted with inferior cantholysis, cutting the superior crus of the lateral canthal tendon may be required to further allow the eye to bulge out and reduce intraorbital pressure. Big takeaways? Ocular compartment syndrome is a rare but emergent vision threatening condition that requires immediate lateral canthotomy to reduce intraocular and intraorbital pressures. Lateral canthotomy done within 30-60 minutes of symptom development can save the patient from permanent vision loss. References: Mohammadi F, Rashan A, Psaltis A, et al.

Send us a textGiants fans, this Monday Night Football matchup just got insane. Jaxson Dart is fully cleared from concussion protocol and will start under the lights, Kayvon Thibodeaux is officially out again, Dexter Lawrence is battling through that elbow injury, and the Patriots are somehow on a nine-game heater while losing yet another starting offensive lineman. We are going live to break down exactly how these injuries shift the trenches, how the matchup really plays now, and whether the Giants plus the points are a lot more live than Vegas wants you to think.Before we go further, drop your MNF pick in the comments — Giants with the points or Patriots to keep the streak alive? And make sure to subscribe so you never miss a Giants breakdown, game reaction, or live pick show.The Patriots injury report wipes out key pieces: starting LG Jared Wilson is out, special teams captain Brenden Schooler is out, and front-seven disruptors Harold Landry and Khyiris Tonga are questionable. Add that to a long list of Patriots already on IR — their LT, their NT, their starting DE, their top depth CB — and suddenly this “red-hot Patriots team” is showing real cracks.The Giants' sheet tells a different story. Kayvon Thibodeaux is out, which hurts the pass rush, but nearly every core defender is trending toward playing: Deonte Banks, Paulson Adebo, Tyler Nubin, Dexter Lawrence, and DJ Davidson all logged enough work to expect them on the field. Wan'Dale Robinson, Darius Slayton, and Jaxson Dart were all full participants, giving the Giants enough offensive firepower to make this a real game if pass protection holds up. The question is whether the Giants can generate any edge pressure without Thibodeaux, and whether Dart can stress a Patriots defense that has been forced deep into its rotation.After the full MNF breakdown, we'll hit the entire Sunday slate. Dolphins-Saints has one of the weirdest totals and injury situations of the week, Texans-Colts might flip the AFC South if C.J. Stroud steals one on the road, and Falcons-Jets has sharp models screaming Over despite a total under 40. 49ers-Browns is shaping into a “Niners win, Browns cover” game with Myles Garrett chasing a sack record. Rams-Panthers remains one of the most lopsided spreads in the early window, Jaguars-Titans has that classic Vrabel home-dog energy, and Cardinals-Bucs is one of the cleanest “favorite + Over” profiles of the week.The late slate is chaos: Minnesota starting another rookie QB vs Seattle, Buffalo walking into Pittsburgh with two backup tackles, the Raiders changing OCs while being nearly double-digit dogs to the Chargers, and Bo Nix trying to keep Denver in the AFC 1-seed hunt on Sunday Night Football.It's Week 13, the board is wild, and we're breaking down every matchup so Giants fans know exactly where the real edges are across the league.Thank you for watching & for your support.

Welcome back to AI Unraveled, your daily strategic briefing on the business impact of AI. Today, we are pausing the daily news feed to conduct a "State of the Silicon Union." The monolithic dominance of NVIDIA is fracturing. With the release of Google's Gemini 3—trained entirely on non-Nvidia hardware—and rumors of Meta purchasing billions in custom silicon, the industry is entering a phase of acute structural divergence. We are analyzing the "Ironwood" TPU architecture against the Blackwell GPU, the friction of the CUDA-to-JAX migration, and the massive FinOps implications of owning assets vs. renting efficiency.Source: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/gpu-vs-tpu-strategic-divergence-ai-acceleration-architectures-wz6ic Strategic Pillars & Key Takeaways:The Silicon Cold War (Hardware): We break down the technical collision between NVIDIA's Blackwell B200 (General Purpose) and Google's TPU v7 "Ironwood" (Domain Specific). While raw memory and FLOPS are similar, the divergence lies in the interconnect: NVIDIA's copper NVLink vs. Google's optical circuit switching (OCS), which allows for massive, reconfigurable topologies at the "Pod" scale.The Ecosystem Moat (Software): The battle isn't just silicon; it's code. We explore the inertia of the CUDA "virtuous cycle" versus the functional rigidity of JAX. The verdict? Migrating is not a weekend project, and the "human capital" risk of relying on niche JAX developers is a major strategic consideration for the enterprise.FinOps & Asset Reality: The choice between GPU and TPU is a capital allocation decision. NVIDIA GPUs are liquid assets that can be resold (CapEx/Asset), while TPUs are almost exclusively a rented service (OpEx). We analyze why this "depreciation trap" matters for your CFO.The Meta Disruption: We analyze the reports that Meta is negotiating to buy billions of dollars of TPUs, a move that validates the performance of non-NVIDIA silicon and potentially cracks the "walled garden" of Google's hardware monopoly.Host Connection & EngagementNewsletter: Sign up for FREE daily briefings at https://enoumen.substack.comLinkedIn: Connect with Etienne: https://www.linkedin.com/in/enoumen/Email: info@djamgatech.comWeb site: https://djamgatech.com/ai-unraveled

Swanny wonders what the norm is in college football with staffs being hired by the head coach or do the OCs and DCs tend to bring their own staffers?
Mike Tomlin spent time giving praise to the Packers DC today instead of other options he could have listed. The guys brought up the OCs that came through the Steelers facility in the last decade. It just feels like a whole lot of the same thing. Ray-Ray McCloud got released by the Falcons. After having a pretty decent 2024 season, should the Steelers give him a call? Will they bring in anyone? Donny Football Debrief – Are the Ravens starting to get serious after the bye week? Or is it a call for desperation?

Kevin Morris joins me to explore the deeper reasons behind burnout in physical therapy—and why staying connected to your personal values may be the key to surviving (and thriving) in this profession. Kevin opens up about his unexpected entry into PT through a high school job, the physical toll of clinical work, and why he's turned to both resistance training and civic engagement as lifelines outside the clinic. We talk about the importance of protecting your body as a PT, the value of community service, and how students can discover their “why” through simple reflection on what already brings them joy. Kevin also unpacks the financial challenges of DPT education and advocates for structural change in the cost and delivery of higher ed. If you're searching for purpose, balance, and a bit of inspiration in your career journey—this one hits all the right notes.

Jason's back, and this time we're going deeper. From his early classroom failures to his passionate critiques of the grading system, Jason Turner pulls back the curtain on what it really means to teach—not just art, but agency. We dig into how subjectivity can be a strength, why guiding questions trump easy answers, and how teachers can help students own their learning journeys without spoon-feeding them. Jason shares the philosophies that have shaped his unique classroom culture, where failure isn't just tolerated—it's part of the lesson plan. If you've ever wondered how to foster true critical thinking in kids, or what it looks like to hold space for students to grow at their own pace, this conversation hits home.
I sat down with Jason Turner—graphic designer turned middle school art teacher—to explore how subjectivity isn't a limitation in education, but a secret weapon. Jason walks us through his journey from corporate design to the classroom, how burnout led him to teaching, and what he's learned guiding kids through one of the most emotionally turbulent times of their lives. We unpack what it means to teach decision-making, why failing publicly is essential, and how standards don't have to stifle creativity. Jason makes a strong case for trusting kids to think independently, framing failure as a growth tool, and valuing “soft skills” as real-life essentials. Whether you're an educator, parent, or someone passionate about shaping future humans, this episode is a warm, funny, and thoughtful reminder that confidence, creativity, and connection are just as important as curriculum.
Learn how to optimize hamstring recovery for peak performance with insights and key Q&A from Brian Duncan, PT, DPT, OCS, SCS. Q: Is fascial length more critical than strength for hamstring recovery? A: Fascial length is not necessarily more important than strength, but the body adapts from training, loading, and sprinting. However, sprinting alone is insufficient for optimal hamstring recovery. Q: How can fascial length be tested in athletic training (ATR)? A: Currently, there is no way to palpate fascial length. It can only be observed on MRI or ultrasound as imaging techniques improve. An NFL-funded trial is ongoing, examining hamstring injuries and investigating various factors with imaging across several colleges. Q: How does adjusting knee positioning impact hamstring rehabilitation? A: Varying the amount of knee flexion or extension can increase hamstring length and load depending on the specific area of the hamstring. Training hip extension can place more load on the proximal hamstring tendon. Most hamstring injuries occur at the myotendinous junction (proximal), while injuries within the muscle belly tend to heal better. Q: What are the challenges in hamstring rehabilitation for high-level athletes? A: The higher the level of competition, the more complex the situation becomes, often involving "more cooks in the kitchen." This raises questions about collaboration between different coaches and the athletic trainer. Communication and planning can be challenging in these scenarios, impacting hamstring recovery. Q: Is high-intensity sprinting the most important aspect of hamstring recovery, and what are the considerations for progression? A: High-intensity sprinting is considered most important, but a lack of planning may be an issue. There is a significant load difference between an 80% sprint and a 100% sprint, with a substantial increase in eccentric load at maximum effort. The length the hamstring travels between 80% and 100% sprint is no different. A gradual progression back into previous activities is often necessary for effective hamstring recovery. Running more than nine sprints in a session can lead to further hamstring injury. Q: Can AI, such as ChatGPT, replace athletic trainers? A: AI is only as effective as the user and the questions asked. For example, it can build a maintenance program. When asked to include high-speed running and eccentric loading, it then asked if a weekly microcycle was needed. Hopefully, it will not replace athletic trainers' jobs but instead help them to excel at them, especially in optimizing hamstring recovery. Q: What are the key takeaways for athletic trainers from this presentation on hamstring recovery? A: Athletic trainers should start eccentric training early (at a pain level less than 4/10) and incorporate sprinting (running) as soon as possible. It is also crucial to communicate with coaches to target at-risk position groups with maintenance plans throughout the season and to incorporate banded Nordic hamstring curls to maximize range of motion. Q: What is the role of maintenance programs in athletic training, especially concerning hamstring injuries throughout a season? A: Maintenance programs are vital throughout the season to prevent recurrences and soft tissue injuries. During SAC camps, the key is to prevent overtraining and identify athletes who don't self-regulate. Sprint training should occur early in SAC camp or during the day's workout before lifting. For in-season maintenance, hamstring work should be incorporated on match day and two days after, ideally 3-4 days before the next match day.
