I've been taking hot yoga for almost four months now and really enjoy it. As with anything, educated instructors and educated participants can really lower injury risk. Tying in the principle based system like FMS, and bringing up the point about ego makes a huge impact on how people should move toward more safe training prescriptions.

While they don't comment on it, early morning yoga can be particularly problematic. I would most likely be the guy still in bed at the 1:40 point in the video.

]]> Comment on Looking at the Literature: SMT, Meds and Exercise for Neck Pain by Greg Dea http://www.jeffcubos.com/2012/01/04/looking-at-the-literature-smt-meds-and-exercise-for-neck-pain/comment-page-1/#comment-767 Greg Dea Wed, 04 Jan 2012 21:46:55 +0000 http://www.jeffcubos.com/?p=3646#comment-767 We can do well to remember to Reset (with manual therapy), Reinforce (with corrective exercise of some patient-specific sort) and then Reload. This adage works well when mechanical dysfunction has been identified as contributing to a dysfunctional painful neck, but may not be the first port-of-call for chemical pain. It's true that a research paper, almost by the limitations modern science places on it, can not clinically reason, so let's not all just "start the car" with the basic recommendations. Good presentation Jeff. We can do well to remember to Reset (with manual therapy), Reinforce (with corrective exercise of some patient-specific sort) and then Reload.

A few with hip pain and a few with restricted hip internal rotation, but no pain yet. Considering I can't even skate I shoot hockey training expert, Jeff Cubos an email... he sends me this link.

However, I think Brock has never been kicked in the liver by a 260 lb kick boxing world champion. Liver kicks and punches are notorious for crumbling someone. I like this blog.

The best way I can describe it is that the toes should pull in as opposed to curl in.

With the Vele lean, I've heard some people suggest the patient "grip the floor" with the toes during the lean and others suggesting to avoid that. Any thoughts? Thanks Jeff, that is helpful.

For sure. The Vele lean is almost plank like. The hips should not flex. Its pretty much a one hinge movement, at the ankle. Make sure they're not curling their toes either. The tandem gait should be performed slowly. I like cueing the 1st and 5th met heads to root into the ground for control. Should be an active gait vs just landing the foot and rolling down. Again, the person should be uprighted. Does that help? Phil.

I have a patient who refers to this condition (and her prior status as), "Stupid Feet". Yours sounds much better. However, it took me a while to awaken her feet. Will consider reverse tandem and toe spacers... never tried that one. Love, the “One Toe Syndrome”. I have a patient who refers to this condition (and her prior status as), “Stupid Feet”.

Could you expand on some of the cues you give patients to focus on while performing both the forward lean and the reverse tandem gait? Thanks Jeff – informative post as per usual.
