Hands-on manual therapy has always figured prominently in my treatment approach. I’m a big believer in regular soft tissue work for maintaining ROM at the shoulder and elbow, especially in-season for throwers.
With the recent explosion of travel teams, showcases, camps, and year-round single-sport participation, younger athletes are at a higher risk for injury if they aren’t physically prepared and managed properly. More than ever we see kids playing for two or three different teams (school, town, traveling, etc.) in each season, or attempting to “specialize” in a single-sport sport all year
Some time around the end of the 15th century a bright, industrious, young Italian painter set out to create a blueprint for the ideal human body. The drawing was based on the artist’s anatomical studies—including the unimaginably messy and unpleasant business of human dissection in a world before refrigeration—and the observations of the 1st Century architect, Vitruvious, who believed the human body was an ideal template for universal design.
Project Breaking Bread is officially complete. Despite a lifelong kinship with sourdough bread and Apple Newtons, I’ve made it thirty consecutive days without consuming a single grain of wheat—whole, split, sprouted, processed, brewed, blanched, ground, partially enriched, or otherwise.
It’s been 20-days since I began Project Breaking Bread. According to the scale in my bathroom I’m down another pound this week to 164lbs. What's even more surprising is that I really don't miss bread the way I thought I would. I’m not sure if this is a result of having kicked the addiction or if I’m experiencing the symptoms of Stockholm syndrome—a psychological phenomenon in which kidnapping victims develop positive feelings toward their captors.
Today marks the two week point in my wheat-free experiment—14 days down, 17 to go until the end of the month—and the longest single-stretch of time I’ve faithfully executed a diet plan without making weekend allowances for chocolate chip cookies or Honey Nut Cheerios.
