In this episode of the Unreal Results podcast, I’m talking about a topic that’s been on my mind as of late: the connection between the menstrual cycle and ACL tears. First & foremost, I truly believe that everyone, including non-healthcare providers & men, should understand the menstrual cycle and how it affects the body’s hormones. I challenge the general assumptions made about ligament laxity and when ligamentous injuries frequently occur by analyzing what’s actually happening during the menstrual cycle. I also talk about ALL of the ways that female athletes can reduce their risk of ACL tears and other ligamentous injuries. I hope that you’re able to have some excellent takeaways from this episode and share them with anyone that has a female in their life!

In this episode of the Unreal Results podcast, I talk about the connection of the thoracic cavity, most notably the lungs, and its impact on athletic performance, particularly during allergy season. I specifically talk about a case study with an athlete of mine who was dealing with foot pain and how the LTAP lead me to treating his lungs, ultimately resolving his foot symptoms. I also give detailed techniques for treating restrictions in the lungs, including bronchial tube stretching. The episode is filled with practical advice on assessment and treatment strategies, which I hope you utilize the next time you work with a client similar to this.
