A neutral pelvis is a state where the pubic bone and the sacrum are parallel to the floor. The pelvis is not tipped forward nor backward and the heads of the femurs are centered in their sockets.

Golfer’s elbow
The weather is getting nice and people are already hitting the green and getting back into the swing of things, literally. One injury we see in golfers is called medial epicondylitis, or golfer’s elbow. In athletics, it is also seen in throwers, rock climbers, bowlers, and weightlifters.

Lower extremity nerve glides
In my last PT Corner, I discussed upper extremity nerve glides, so today I want to piggyback on how we can also perform nerve glides in the lower extremity. If you recall, nerves need freedom to move and glide, with just enough slack to allow the neural impulses to travel from the brain to the

Upper extremity nerve glides
If you’ve ever heard me talk about nerves, I like to describe them as telephone wires. I visualize how these wires have a decent amount of slack on them as they traverse from pole to pole, transmitting countless conversations along the way.

RICE vs. MEAT
When it comes to athletics, nothing can be more devastating than an injury. Being sidelined has not only physical but emotional effects as well. Athletes want to get back on the field or court as soon as possible. Many physicians still prescribe the decades-old remedy of RICE – rest, ice, compression, elevation – despite more
