Follow The Clues

Radial nerve entrapment can be misdiagnosed, commonly mistaken for lateral epicondylosis (aka “tennis elbow”) or nerve impingement in the neck. Each of these three diagnoses require contracting treatment, meaning what works for one could make another worse. Don’t guess when it comes to your athletic health!

A Well Balanced Workout

Why all this wacky balance work? Injury doesn’t just impact bony or soft tissues; nerves are often impacted as well. Mechanoreceptors are sensory neurons found within joint capsular tissues, ligaments, tendons, muscles and skin. These cells respond to movement and touch, and contribute to our sense of proprioception, or a sense of where the body is in space. Proprioceptive training programs are effective at reducing the rate of ankle sprains in sporting participants, particularly those with a history of ankle sprain.
