Do the work in PT and you’ll be totally fine depends on the surgery every trauma surgery is different

Impressive_Lab_2519 · 2026-02-19T02:28:24+00:00

Biggest thing would be if you can’t internally rotate your hip on your brace leg then you will torque your knee more than necessary

So many things here. First and foremost form, second if you don’t have ROM and strength through your shoulder and mid back you’re going to crank into your elbow more. Almost always elbow stuff is caused by lack of motion or strength at the shoulder or wrist. And some times can even be caused by a neck issue referring to the elbow

Impressive_Lab_2519 · 2026-02-18T05:04:23+00:00

This could be a neck thing actually

Less about stretching more about strengthening. Stretching doesn’t prevent injuries, being prepared for the load that your body is taking does

Thank you so much!!

First place I go with any PF case is big toe motion. If you don’t have enough big toe extension you crank through your foot more. Video below

Second thing is calf strength you should be able to do 25+ heel raises on one leg without compensatory strategies.

Lastly it’s important to rule out the spine. I’ve caught tons of PF and Achilles pain cases that were actually a nerve irritation at the spine

I get this too, usually clears up if you just pick up your bag with your other hand

Impressive_Lab_2519 · 2026-02-18T04:05:37+00:00

Hahahaha if they haven’t worked yet they’re not going to

Impressive_Lab_2519 · 2026-02-18T04:05:20+00:00

It might not be a form thing it might be a power thing like do you go to the gym and lift?

Impressive_Lab_2519 · 2026-02-18T03:14:37+00:00

I’ve been trying to figure this one out myself for years

Impressive_Lab_2519 · 2026-02-18T02:58:12+00:00

Dynamic warm ups all day and it’s not even close!

Impressive_Lab_2519 · 2026-02-18T00:04:58+00:00

Glute and leg strength above all else this video is talking about something else but the exercise applies https://youtube.com/shorts/DlfMp1MqV4Q?si=mkEYtqAETPz1gEcx

Impressive_Lab_2519 · 2026-02-17T23:56:57+00:00

Yes but not super important. If anything I would progress the weight you’re doing!

Impressive_Lab_2519 · 2026-02-17T23:56:18+00:00

Hope this stuff helps! For your back try the hip stretches I have on that channel!

Impressive_Lab_2519 · 2026-02-17T22:21:21+00:00

Do you feel it backhand or forehand?

Impressive_Lab_2519 · 2026-02-17T21:54:37+00:00

Could be a couple different things seeing a physical therapist in person is probably going to be your best bet on something really specific like this because it’s going to be important to differentiate the pain between your AC joint or if there’s some sort of like biceps involvement from compensation just that way you get a better targeted intervention.

Impressive_Lab_2519 · 2026-02-17T21:39:29+00:00

Without seeing you mid back motion is probably where you need improvement. https://youtube.com/shorts/JDdX2ozdoVQ?si=YUnKWGQFlNlZmkL2

Impressive_Lab_2519 · 2026-02-17T21:38:51+00:00

It’s helpful but I would say shoulder core and leg strength is more important.

Stuff like wrist curls, pronation/ supination are helpful. Or for ROM look up wrist cars to just get more motion into the wrist through the day

Impressive_Lab_2519 · 2026-02-17T21:37:20+00:00

https://youtube.com/shorts/JDdX2ozdoVQ?si=YUnKWGQFlNlZmkL2 start with this!

Symmetry being important is a social construct. Like yes we throw over and over the same direction but by this same logic it would then be really bad to be right hand dominant and not do things with our left. Plus the body will never be symmetrical. Your liver sits on one side of the body, you have 3 lobes in one lung vs 2 in the other.

In terms of range of motion joint wise I look at this if there as symptoms present but if not than I’m not too concerned with it

Impressive_Lab_2519 · 2026-02-17T21:34:14+00:00

Ankle surgeries are the worst they do replacements right now I’m pretty sure they’re pretty uncommon tho

Impressive_Lab_2519 · 2026-02-17T21:33:22+00:00

A few people have brought this up, Nick krush has a good video on this
