11.01.2022 The Wonder of Isometrics Isometric holds (or 'Iso holds') are incredibly effective for tendons and tendon-related problems. I have seen them take someone from 7/10 soreness to 0/10 in less than 5 minutes. At Core Advantage we have found that near to end-range work is so beneficial that we just start and finish with the leg out almost straight as pictured below. (We get our range work from squats.) Iso holds at close to end-range extension do a couple of things. First, they wa...ke up the quads. Sarah pictured here easily doing her holds was so weak when she started she couldn't even do it on the lightest weight for 5 seconds. I've trained nannas who were considerably stronger! The other thing iso-holds do is take advantage of an amazing phenomenon called mechano-transduction which, in this instance, is the process in which sustained non-impact loads actually change the physical properties of the tendon and help it to heal and become stronger.

09.01.2022 How can we fix Osgood Schlatters rapidly? First, create some length in the quad. The first and most important thing to do is to create some length in the quad to accommodate the rapid bone growth and take some pressure off the attachment site. That's the obvious bit.... But the problem is that in stretching the quad you are actually pulling on the sore bit. Not cool. Especially if you are sore and flared up. This vicious cycle is what trips up most people. This is where rolling for self myofascial release comes in handy. The beauty of rolling for Osgood is that it allows us to create some length at the quad and help it catch up to the femur without pulling at the sore bit. ( It is very important to do this slowly and release off all the trigger points. Also it is essential you do this with your core switched on (i.e. belly button sucked in) so that fixing your knee doesn't give you a sore back!)
