Enhanced Physiotherapy

Taking you back to high school physics - vectors and resultant forces 📈

Seriously though - let’s simplify all the complexities:

1️⃣ Make sure the line of pull is parallel to the ground (horizontal as possible)

2️⃣ Make sure that from origin or anchor of the dynamo, to the attachment matches the line above to isolate your testing movement and clean up your data!

💥 have you considered this in your testing?

Pretension matters 🏋🏾‍♂️

With the Isometric Mid-Thigh Pull, it’s not just about pulling hard. It’s about collecting clean, quality data.

💥Consistent pretension
💥Consistent setup
💥Consistent cueing
💥Review the force trace

Don’t just look at the headline numbers. Look at how the athlete produced the force.

A clean, repeatable force trace gives you greater confidence in the data you’re using to guide decisions.

Standardise the test. Review the trace. Trust the data.

The CMJ is simple… until we coach it. 👀

The countermovement jump is a great test of lower-body power - but are we actually getting a CMJ?

Poor or inconsistent cueing can turn the movement into something closer to an Abalakov jump or squat jump, changing the movement strategy and, ultimately, the data we collect.

📊 Different movement = different outputs.

Your technology can be validated.
Your setup can be perfect.
But if the movement isn’t standardised, your data won’t be either.

The coaching matters. The cueing matters. The protocol matters.

🇿🇦 Match day. Springboks. Physiotherapy.

What actually happens behind the scenes on a Springbok match day?

Aneurin Robyn, Springboks physiotherapist, takes us inside the preparation, the pressure, the routine and the role of the medical team when it matters most.

And with the Boks set to take on the All Blacks in South Africa in what promises to be a historic series, there’s no better time to hear what goes into getting the players ready for battle.

If you love the Springboks, you’ll love this.
If you love physio, you’ll really love this - full episode streaming on Spotify, Apple and YouTube.

Because we all love match day. 🇿🇦🏉

This isn’t a “here’s how I do it” video.

I’m genuinely curious how other clinicians are approaching trunk rotation testing with a dynamometer - and what you think are the key considerations for making the test reliable and meaningful.

Standing?
Seated?
Bilateral kneeling?
Half-kneeling?

And does the position change depending on the direction of rotation?

There are some really interesting considerations around pelvic position, lower-limb contribution, trunk stabilisation and the degree to which we’re actually isolating what we think we’re measuring.
