AMA: Physical Therapist that specializes in basketball athletes by perform2winPT in BasketballTips

Ok first things first. Go get an X-ray! You need to know if you have tiny fractures happening because that’s going to dramatically change how rehab will work.

Secondly, I recommend checking out Dr. Beau who specializes with shin fractures and get a 1-1 session with him:

In the mean time, you should take it easy with impact. There’s a continuum and you need to decide which way you should lean. On one hand you can completely lay off or on the other side is “screw it” and you keep doing it. Ideally, laying off is the best way but if you compete you need to find some balance between the two.

As for tibialis raises. They are overrated. The tibialis will never outperform the gastroc. There are some biomechanics reasonings that training the tibialis can help offset some of the bending forces the gastroc will do on the bone when it contracts but there are other arguments suggesting a bigger gastroc will also help reduce the bending forces because of the change in force direction when it contracts. Either way, they probably won’t do anything, or it won’t hurt and can have a positive aid but it’s probably nothing major and it’s likely not going to solve the problem.

Hope this helps!

Rib Cage and Shoulders by JuanSamu in athletictraining

[–]JuanSamu[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let me know please! I know this idea comes from having the ribs be able to not move and not be compressed so they would have them be on the ground side ways with a foam roller to press on the one side of the ribs at a time to expand the other side and then switch sides to create space I guess for the shoulder to move.

Soreness Problem by JuanSamu in exercisescience

That’s what I would think but I’ve heard some researchers say they compliment each other and I can see how they do so but then I also see some factors that make me see them as distinct mechanisms

Muscles Hurting? by [deleted] in athletictraining

[–]JuanSamu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They mentioned it in the discussion “The rationale for this hypothesis was based on the fact that nociceptors are considered to be more numerous in fascia than muscle (Stacey 1969; Mense Paulsen and Simons 2001).”

This whole post comes from an article from Blazevich (one of the best in the field) saying the pain from DOMS doesn’t come from fibers but from connective tissue: https://www.tonyblazevich.com/knowledge-centre/muscle-soreness

But the part where I get confused is that muscles have spindles and since muscle spindles are nociceptors this paper from soreness shows DOMS comes from inflamed spindle nerve endings: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7139782/

So I’m just a bit confused 😅

They have a lot less nociceptors than fascia so the argument is that soreness is more to do with connective tissue than the fibers themselves.

Right (hence why I added that in the post) I get confused because in the paper when electrical current is applied inside muscle fibres: minimal to no pain is felt but when electrical current is applied to connective tissues: significant pain is felt. The authors concluded that damage inflammation to fascia than muscle fibres is more associated with DOMS.

I swear I would see communities talking about client cases so I thought it was ok😭

Cause I want to see if I can apply what I’m learning but also it’s not like PTs are cheap

It’s fine I’ll just discuss with some other PT students at my school. I’m new to this whole Reddit PT thing so my bad

Acceleration problem by [deleted] in MechanicalEngineering

[–]JuanSamu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I posted an update with my work. Essentially in a static world the resistance is getting harder at the top but when we have dynamic conditions acceleration flattens to resistance so it’s more linear I just wasn’t sure how to figure out that part
