Lamar Jackson says swelling from his high ankle sprain has subsided, but running remains painful. My sports medicine takeaway: swelling is only one recovery marker. Planting, cutting and twisting that ankle are the real tests.

Thanks for sharing @TomPelissero . You saw Miles firsthand from the sideline Thursday in Australia.
Rams star Myles Garrett will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his ailing knee and is headed to injured reserve, sources tell @ringer @netflixsports. Garrett has been dealing with lower-leg pain and wasn’t himself in Thursday’s opener. The hope is he’s back in four weeks.

#Foamrolling is NOT about “breaking up scar tissue.”
That’s a myth. Your tissue adapts through graded load + nervous system response, not pain tolerance. #FoamRoller #FoamRollingMadeEasyBook #injuryprevention

My motto as a physical therapist, certified #athletictrainer, and athlete: “If you’re a #runner, you need to be a roller.”

With 35+ yrs of experience helping NFL players recover, I've learned that injury-prevention strategies also benefit active adults. Just adjust the intensity + stay consistent. Key elements: gradual progress, foam rolling, strength training, team up, core exercises + have fun.

As a physical therapist, I’m often asked how comfortable foam rolling should be. When incorporating #foamrolling into your routine, it's important to focus on comfort and effectiveness. Mild to moderate discomfort is common, particularly in areas where muscles are tight.

Balance is key to performance, not just fall prevention. Enhance your routine by adding balance drills to strengthen hip muscles and increase workout challenge. Tips: Try eyes open/closed, various surfaces like sand or grass, ball drills, barefoot, and/or single/double leg jumps.
