🤔🔥 . #Repost @rehabscience ・・・ 💥𝐄𝐱𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐞 & 𝐀𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐬💥 ——— 🔎New research demonstrating a mechanism through which exercise may work to reduce the risk of osteoarthritis. - 🧠In the study cited below, researchers subjected chondrocytes (cartilage cells) to mechanical loading, which activated the HDAC6 protein and lead to a suppression of inflammatory signaling. - 👣Often times, I run into people who worry that exercise will damage their joints. Hopefully, this research will change this belief and help others understand that loading their joints can positively influence cartilage health and reduce the risk of developing arthritis. •••••••••• 📚Fu S, et al. Mechanical loading inhibits cartilage inflammatory signalling via an HDAC6 and IFT-dependent mechanism regulating primary cilia elongation. Osteoarthritis Cartilage. 2019. . #RehabScience

Had a great time talking biomechanics and all things ACL injury prevention this morning with our @AthleticEvolution Summer 2019 interns. Great group and great discussion! . #just4kicksboston #anteriorcruciateligament #aclrehab #aclrecovery #aclreconstruction #aclsurgery #physicaltherapy #physiotherapy #dpt #physio #atc #rehabilitation #injuryprevention #returntosport #returntoplay #strengthtraining #soccer #soccerinjury #nwsl #wleague #ncaa #ecnl #npl #mls #pdl #usl

🚨NEW POST🚨 Check out this week’s blog post written by former @uconnwsoc player, Mika Bussey, for tips on how to navigateACL recovery. While mental health in athletics is often overlooked, Mika provides valuable insight on a few tricks to help maintain perspective on the sidelines. Thanks for the good read, @mikabussey!

#Repost @physionetwork ・・・ Need a reason to exercise? 💪 We posted this study one year ago today. It looked at how exercise can preserve muscle mass. They compare a 74-year old sedentary man and a 70-year old triathlete, and the difference in fat and muscle tissue is extreme 🏃 Wroblewski A, Amati F, Smiley M, et al. Chronic exercise preserves lean muscle mass in masters athletes. Physician Sports Med. 2011;39:172–178

Playing around with my new SportsmetricsTM software with former pro and friend @maddy_evans18 . 😳 Maddy’s got one of the best drop jump landing’s I’ve ever seen (not a bad vert either 💁🏼‍♀️). She played all four years of NCAA Div 1 soccer and multiple seasons with the @bostonbreakers and @orlpride WITHOUT a single serious knee injury! Can anyone guess why? . 📈 When we use the SportsmetricsTM software, we look at the distance between the knees (Normalized Knee Separation Distance) and ankles (Normalized Ankle Separation Distance) relative to the hips. If an athlete displays anything less than 60%, his/her risk of injury is significantly greater. . 👩🏼‍💻 Do you live in the Boston area? Do you want to come in for a Sportsmetrics evaluation? We can make that happen! @ae__pt @athleticevolution . #just4kicksboston #anteriorcruciateligament #aclrehab #aclrecovery #aclreconstruction #aclsurgery #physicaltherapy #physiotherapy #dpt #physio #atc #rehabilitation #injuryprevention #returntosport #returntoplay #strengthtraining #soccer #soccerinjury #nwsl #wleague #ncaa #ecnl #npl #mls #pdl #usl

Very grateful to @beyondsoccerlawrence for welcoming me to their practice last night! We had a great time talking about injury prevention and even got to practice the FIFA 11+. What a GREAT group of girls! . #just4kicksboston #anteriorcruciateligament #aclrehab #aclrecovery #aclreconstruction #aclsurgery #physicaltherapy #physiotherapy #dpt #physio #atc #rehabilitation #injuryprevention #returntosport #returntoplay #strengthtraining #soccer #soccerinjury #nwsl #wleague #ncaa #ecnl #npl #mls #pdl #usl
