I have teamed up with Dr. Joe Camoratto to address many myths that we and our patients have encountered in the rehab industry.
These myths are some of the most common beliefs in rehab. Much of what the industry “knows” is not what evidence backs up today.
We will be covering the following myths and what the truth is according to what evidence points us to now:
- “Stretching Prevents Injury”
- “Foam Rolling Breaks up Fascia”
- “Pain Equals Damage”
- “Your Back Pain Is Caused by Your Rotated Hips”
- “Running Is Bad for Your Knees”
- “Rest Is Good for Your Pain”
- “Your Shoes Are the Issue”
- “CrossFit Is Dangerous”
- “Stretching Makes Your Muscles Longer”
- “Surgery Will Fix My Chronic Pain”
- “Your IT Band Is Tight”
- “You Have the Back of an 80-Year-Old”
