Physio Brake: Recent Episodes
Christopher Brake
Hey Everyone,
My name is Christopher Brake, I am a Registered Physical Therapist working in private and public practice in Courtenay, British Columbia.
One of my many passions is teaching. I hope to create valuable content that others can learn from.
I consider myself to be a guide on people's rehabilitation journeys. I place a large emphasis on education, exercise (and all movements) and evidence based manual therapy.
I hope you enjoy the content!
All support is appreciated.
Cheers,
Christopher
Key Points for Gluteal Tendinopathy: decrease compression forces by limiting amount of hip adduction, improve biomechanics during dynamic and functional activities and progressively strengthen glute abductors. Primary research used was LEAP study by Grimaldi et al in 2018, which outlined the exercise phases and progressions. Their study included detailed pictures and descriptions. Additionally, Allison K et al 2016 "Hip Abductor Weakness in Individuals with Gluteal Tendinopathy" and Ganderton et al 2018 "Gluteal loading vs sham exercise to improve pain and dysfunction in post menopausal women with greater trochanteric pain syndrome".
A little blurb of who I am and what I want to achieve with this podcast. To clarify I will be a starting source for this information and by no means used as an academic reference. Enjoy :)
