A brilliant presentation from @chrisbramah. What a gift for clinicians - a user friendly and practical toll to analysis running mechanics with the SMAS.
"Structural recovery (healing of the injured tissue as seen in imaging) and improvements in physical quality tests (such as force metrics and isolated strength tests) do not necessarily reflect full functional recovery." - @chrisbramah
What are the three biggest rehab misconceptions? With @harries_simon, @chrisbramah, @coachrgrubbs, @lee_nobes, @ben_dixon23 and @Kerinperform This is part of our monthly email series where we ask six leading experts one high-impact question, and send their answers straight to…

Can sprint mechanics help us predict injuries? Not exactly. However, they can still reveal a great deal In this clip from his Sportsmith Premium presentation, @chrisbramah makes it clear: injury prediction based on a single variable, like sprint technique or Nordic strength, is…
