Sports Injuries

Rotator Cuff:  Rotator cuff injuries have to do with shoulder injuries. The rotator cuff is a group of four muscles superspinatus, are commonly injured by pitchers when throwing. This can lead to a weakening or tearing of the tendonis attachments of these muscles leading to microvulsions or vulsions depending on the severity of the trauma. In many cases I"ve been able to non-surgically reduce these microvulsions and stimulate healing using AK reflex points to assist the muscles in the completion of their healing process. Muscle testing done before and after therapy indicates which muscles are weak and which are creating pain in the movement of the shoulder. Once identifed, those muscles can be specifically isolated and theraputically assisted with reflexology, chiropractic manipulations and nutrients.

Shin Splints:  Shin splints are an overuse syndrome from over-training a muscle group in the front portion of the thigh or shin. These muscles act as deccelerators, or brakes, so that your foot doesn't slap the ground upon heelstrike. One of the easiest ways to prevent shin splints is to be a toe-runner. This allows the calf to act as a natural shock absorber for the foot strike. Those who chose to be heel strikers should simply decrease their mileage until they find the distance their body can handle without showing breakdown symptoms. Link to Maffetone book.
