For long arc quad with ankle pump with weight, straighten the knee all the way out. Hold it there. Bring the ankle up and down while you keep the knee perfectly straight. Repeat that ten times.

Let's go ahead and bring your right foot out to the side. Slide it out. Keep that knee nice and still. Good. And let's see the left foot. Let's do both feet at the same time. And let's do internal rotation on the right and keep that foot, nice and flat. So that's really limited. Let’s go ahead on...
For the hands and knees to three point transition phase four, we're going to start by bringing the leg straight back and fully extending the knee. And then getting into that kneeling position in one smooth transition, getting up nice and tall. The important thing with this exercise is to make sure t...

I'm often asked, "How do you get buy-in with a coach or a team in your group testing, your pre-participation physical testing?"Â I will tell you, this actually goes to getting buy-in in just about anything.Â
See, we're so excited about what we're doing, whether that's group testing or a rehabilitat...
