We push back on the “eat less when you’re hurt” myth and show how fueling drives better rehab, stronger muscles, and faster tissue healing. From creatine and omega‑3s to collagen timing and vitamin D, we map practical steps that help ACL and OCD athletes progress.• the case for calorie sufficiency and daily protein• why creatine and omega‑3s support strength and tolerance• vitamin D, vitamin C, and collagen timing for tissue support• reframing nutrition as fuel for performance, not weight loss• how REDs and underfueling stall progress and raise risk• workload vs recovery for OCD bone healing• simple routines teens will actually follow: snacks, sleep, hydration• when to refer to a sports dietitian and what to screenWe appreciate you listening!

FAI to Dysplasia: Treating Diverse Hip Pain Causes
Want to learn more from SHIFT? Check out our courses here!https://courses.shiftmovementscience.com/Six weeks off resets our pace and sharpens our focus as we map the two big hip profiles: lax undercoverage vs. stiff overcoverage. We compare symptoms, tests, workloads, and when to choose conservative care, injections, or surgery.• undercoverage laxity causing end-range subluxation and labral overload• overcoverage FAI producing flexion–IR compression and anterior pinching• subjective patterns that separate kicks and splits from deep squat pain• movement tests for each profile aligned to the mechanism• imaging cues: alpha angle, lateral center-edge angle, dysplasia markers• diagnostic injection as a decision hinge before surgery• active flexibility over passive oversplits and ankle weights• workload changes that actually calm irritable hips• posterior-chain and rotator strength to build control through range• growth and early specialisation shaping expectations and skill choices• matching athlete profiles to skills and roles to reduce relapse riskWe appreciate you listening!

Prepping Gymnasts For PreSeason
The transition from summer to fall brings new challenges for gymnasts as they balance back-to-school demands with increased training loads, requiring careful planning to prevent injuries and build a foundation for competition season. We discuss how to create a training plan that accommodates the physiological, mental, and lifestyle changes that occur during this critical period.• Four key "buckets" for successful preseason training: strength/conditioning, metabolic capacity, gymnastics progressions, and physical preparation/education• Why traditional cardio methods like long runs and endless panel mat jumps qualify as "junk mileage" that doesn't effectively prepare athletes for the demands of competition• Difference between aerobic conditioning (not sport-specific) and the 60-90 second anaerobic bursts needed for gymnastics routines• Sport-specific cardio progressions that build capacity while minimizing injury risk• Why recovery between sessions is where actual improvement happens, not during the training itself• Importance of proactively educating athletes and parents about sleep, nutrition, hydration and stress management• Creating gym cultures that normalize recovery practices rather than only addressing them when problems arise• Simple, practical ways coaches can incorporate education about recovery into daily practiceTry collecting high-quality, evidence-based resources on sleep, nutrition, hydration, and stress management to create simple one-page PDFs for parents and athletes as part of your welcome packet or regular communications.We appreciate you listening!

Treating Athletic Low Back Pain
Get $100 off my brand new course, Rehabilitation of Athletic Low Back Pain, with Mike Reinold!https://mikereinold.com/athletic-low-back-evaluation-treatment-online-course/We tackle how to assess and treat different types of back pain, combining evidence-based approaches with movement-based classifications that actually work for athletes and active individuals.• Creating a systematic approach to back pain starts with understanding whether it's chronic sensitization or repeated acute flare-ups• Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) often provide overwhelming lists of possible treatments without clear direction• Differentiating between extension-intolerant, flexion-intolerant, and compression-intolerant patterns guides treatment• Daily habits and postures often contribute more to pain than specific incidents• Modifying activities throughout the day helps reset pain sensitivity - "like recalibrating an alarm system"• Education about what patients do outside of PT is often more important than any specific exercise• For athletes, progression must include sport-specific movements and correcting technical flaws• Basic exercises like bird dogs and dead bugs are starting points, not complete solutions• Return to sport requires gradual progression through strength, power, and sport-specific movements• Proper bracing techniques and movement patterns are essential for long-term preventionCheck out our comprehensive back pain course at the link in the show notes - $100 off this week only!We appreciate you listening!

Hip Impingement: Understanding FAI and Labral Tears
In response to a request, we share valuable resources for learning about femoral acetabular impingement (FAI) and labral tears, addressing the knowledge gap many clinicians face with these conditions.• Four essential resource categories: research literature, clinical specialists, surgical resources, and academic educators• Key research documents include the Warwick Agreement and Doha Agreement on diagnostic criteria for FAI• Following clinicians like Dan, Mike Ryman, and Mike Voigt who combine research with extensive clinical experience• Surgical textbooks like "Hip Preservation Surgery" provide valuable insights despite their cost • Observing actual hip surgeries offers unparalleled perspective on the procedure and recovery process• Understanding imaging measurements (alpha angle, lateral center edge angle) improves communication with surgeons• Interdisciplinary conferences and continuing education courses provide opportunities for professional networking• Watching a family member recover from surgery builds empathy for what patients experience beyond clinical visitsYour best approach to mastering hip FAI and labral tear management is to combine evidence, clinical expertise, surgical knowledge, and academic insights while applying this systematized approach to any joint or condition.We appreciate you listening!
