New Project

At the beginning of this week Dr. Combs told me that I should be expecting a phone call later on this week from a woman by the name of Julie Donnelly. Ms. Donnelly works for a company by the name of Julstro Muscular Therapy. The company has a book titled Treat Yourself to Pain Free Living, which instructs people on how to help them cope with and get rid of pain such as eye, jaw, calf, hamstring, and back pain, along with many other areas of the body. On Wednesday Ms. Donnelly contacted me and we set up an appointment on Thursday afternoon to shoot video of the different exercises in the book Treat Yourself to Pain Free Living. Ms. Donnelly was hoping to make about a 15-45sec video clip of the different exercises and put them on the company’s website for customers to purchase for a few dollars. This would be more beneficial for customers that wanted to help fix a specific painful area on their body rather than purchasing the entire book. My task for next week is to clean up the videotaping I did and send it back to Ms. Donnelly and have her email me back on which exercises came out ok and which ones we need to re-videotape.

Soccer Players using FMS

In the middle of week I had a few appointments set up with some additional soccer players to video tape them performing the functional movement screen exercises. Out of the 3 players they scored a 16, 16, and 17. As many of the other fellow teammates I videotaped they had imbalances and asymmetries. My plan is to give them the corrective exercise booklet I made and have them work on them over the summer and when I come back next fall videotape them again and see if there are any improvements.

More Filming

This past weekend I videotaped another soccer player on the team doing the seven functional movement screen exercises. This time the player scored a 17 as another player had and I noticed very similar asymmetries and imbalances. At the end of him performing the exercises and looking at the notes I made I gave him a print out of the corrective exercises I felt would help him fix his imbalances and asymmetries. At the end of the semester I will look to videotape him again doing the seven exercises to see if there were any improvements in his imbalances and asymmetries.
