The Deadlift, Rearfoot Pronation, and The Adductor Muscles

This week’s stuff you should read includes articles from Mike Robertson, Chris Kolba, and The Sports Physiotherapist.

The Deadlift

Wow, Mike Robertson just wrote an EPIC article on the deadlift.  The deadlift truly is an important exercise for many reasons.  This is a significant resource and should be a mandatory read.  In fact, I bet you’ll want to bookmark and return again in the future!

What School Didn’t Teach You About the Adductor Muscles

Chris Kolba discusses some information regarding the anatomy and mechanics of the adductor muscle group, including how the muscle groups functions in 3 planes of motion.

What to Do About Excessive Rearfoot Pronation

The Sports Physiotherapist has a nice review of the effectiveness of orthotics and other methods of controlling excessive pronation.  I still think we need to train the foot and ankle to handle dynamic forces, but orthotics are often times necessary, at least until we teach our patients and clients better.

Would You Be Interested in a Forum on My Website?

Also, quick yes/no question for your:  Would you be interested in a reader forum on my website to discuss topics and ask questions?

I have always wanted a forum on MikeReinold.com to serve as a go to community to talk rehab, sports medicine, performance, and really anything else.  There are a few out there already that I have tried but I haven’t been pleased, so why not create my own.
What do you think?  Any interest?  Should I go through the effort of building this?  Let me know:

    Good article on hip adductors. I use the adductors frequently with core exerices to engage the pelvic floor muscles. Sqatting with the ball between the kness makes sense but could this exercises teach a poor movement pattern or am I over thinking this exercise? Many clients squat poorly to start and need eduction and practice to perform a correct squat.
