The Athlete's Struggle:

"I'm experiencing a little bit of that right now. It's not great, but it's when you see what it is, a kinda treat kinda like an ankle sprain or like just a typical ankle sprain, like if someone was coming in after just playing basketball."

Devastating Injuries in Martial Arts: "Heel hook, I'm gonna spend about a few minutes on this 1 just because it is very prevalent, and it's probably 1 of the more devastating injuries. It's pretty controversial with a lot of people. And what happens is you're going to isolate the lower leg. You're gonna clamp on to the upper part of the femur so you can extremely rotate the lower part of the leg around either an internal or external rotation. And what it does is it simultaneously attacks both the ankle and the knee joint."

Martial Arts Injuries Uncovered: "I had a black belt, and I attempted to get out of the guillotine. He proceeded to squeeze down on my jaw, and I felt it to detach for a second, so that was fun. I had a nice little headache for a few days after that, so that's also a possibility if they come in with that."

"Overcoming Injury: 'By week 3, she was pretty quick heeler, so she was able to do a little bit more. We started light jogging for just a couple minutes at a time just to test the tolerance, some agility drills, BGJ ground, mobility, such as, like, shrimping, doing her get ups and stuff.'"

"Balancing Life and Recovery for Athletes": "But it'll come down to the specific athlete and kinda, like, what they what else they have, the outside factors that they have going on in their lives."

The Importance of Personalized Training in Combat Sports: "That's a really big that's a big opportunity for you and the fighter to, like, kinda bridge that relationship. If you go out and they're feeling a 100%, and they go as far as they want with their career, that's 1 of the more enriching parts of the job."

"Enhance Fighter Performance": "But once we shore that up and stuff, they say that they typically feel a big difference, not only in pain and function wise, but definitely in performance as well."

Title: Hypermobile Athletes and Customized Rehab

Quote: "Like, say, for instance, I had a fighter the other day, and her hip internal rotation was, like, off the charts. I'd never seen as much internal rotation as that."

"Mental and Physical Health Benefits of Martial Arts: Jujitsu and mixed martial arts have been one of the best things for many, many people that I've talked [to], but it's good for overall health and to get a better understanding of what they're going through, and that'll help to gain rapport with them and help give them better treatment."

The Challenges of Managing High-Energy Athletes: "A lot of them like to go 100 miles per hour at all times. So it's just really good to kinda reiterate the importance of your recommendations."
