In the manual therapy video below, I demonstrate a proper palpating of the UCL ligament in order to assess for tenderness, as this is a marker for return to sports when the ligament is no longer tender. This technique is taught in NAIOMT's specialty course Advanced Concepts for the Overhead Athlete. Come learn more in our next session June 15-16, 2019 in Falls Church VA!
Topics: overhead athletes, upper extremity, ucl ligament

Many parents support their kids in playing a sport year-round with little to no down time. No down time means an increased risk of injury.

Topics: Courses, labral tears, epicondyle avulsion fractures, Overhead Athlete, overhead athletes, overuse injuries, RTC tears, sports medicine, ucl strain, ucl tears
