30 Seconds SummaryMy injury history
- Dealt with various injuries from sports, highlighting the importance of proper rehab and warm-up routines.
- Shoulder inflammation due to baseball pitching without sufficient warm-up, rehabilitative efforts ongoing with focus on serratus strength and scapular position.
- Osgood-Schlatter disease evolved into tendonitis, improved with hip flexor stretches, wider squat stances, and high frequency squatting.
- Tennis elbow traced back to insufficient warm-up and scapular dysfunction, periodically managed with modified face pulls and training adjustments.
- Chronic pinching psoas treated with a unique stretch and Muscle Activation Techniques (MAT) on hip flexors.
- Torn Quadratus Lumborum (QL) muscle led to a three-year break from lifting, ultimately resolved by addressing tight hip flexors and hamstrings.
- SI joint dysfunctions intermittently managed by rolling the piriformis, stretching the psoas, and activating core muscles.
- Various smaller injuries (ankle, MCL, fingers, toes, nose) approached with traditional protective measures and rehab.
- Concussions halted competitive sports participation, switching focus to weightlifting for safety.
- Repeated hamstring tears from sprinting, now managed by extensive warm-ups and careful activity adjustment.
- Emphasized the need for balancing hard work and consistency in training to prevent injuries and achieve sustainable results.
- Personal experience: stronger body and improved overall health through learned weight training and body care techniques.
