3 reminders this week and it is only Wednesday

1) When working with female clients, don't treat them as if they are the weaker sex. They should be able to do normal push ups and pull up progressions. Granted that their upper body is weaker than that of a male, but normal teaching progressions should be adhered to.

2) Just been reminded that focusing on hip stability when warming up and doing plyos is more important for females than males because of the inherent disposition to knee valgus that can cause knee problems.

3) When a client has fainting spells, please check for vertebral artery occlusion! Carl has a client who gets fainting spells when he gets up from prone or supine position. Did the vertebral artery occlusion test and it was a positive. Did ART on the superior oliques, orbitals, rectus capitis and temporalis. Cleared up the fainting spells significantly but will need to do this on a wekly basis for the client at this point of time. phew!
