In the summer I had a moto-x rider come to me after having surgery to repair MCL, PCL and meniscus injuries caused by getting his leg trapped under his bike. What was different with this case was that he came to me one year after the operation. In this post I go through some of the rehab program used with this patient.
Digital SCAT 3 storage system.
This is a theoretical use case scenario for a digital method of using the SCAT 3 to recognise and monitor concussion in athletes. I think it could work quite well, but can't advise you of the legalities of it in your country. The data safety and privacy of medical information if very important and rightly heavily regulated, therefore please take advice local to your country before implementing any of these ideas.
The 'working for free' debate.
Coaching, first aid, massage, rehab programming, writing and all of the things that I do are skills that have to be practised, (that’s why these blogs aren’t very good - I’m new to it). You can learn all of the theory, but you need to actually do it if you want to improve. I’ve no references here but I don’t think many people will argue.
Reha Sport
Here in Germany we have a program called Reha Sport, it consists of exercise classes, run by rehab centres and sports clubs, aimed at people with chronic complaints. I run these classes ten times a week and would like to share some of my experiences, ideas and programming. I’m entirely sure that I will display a large amount of confirmation bias, I don't have all the answers and that this is not scientific, but hopefully somebody will find it interesting.

Last week saw the publication of the second half of my Return to Play conference report for the British Journal of Sports Medicine. It can be found here:
Don't forget all of the presentations from the excellent conference can be found here:
They're well worth a watch.
