This week the guys were fortunate enough to reconnect with Dr. Theo Ballard, SOFLETE\u2019s in-house physical therapist.\n\nTheo is a civilian Orthopedic and Sport Certified Performance Physiotherapist specializing in both sport and tactical performance, specifically with conventional and SOF military personnel.\n\nIn this episode, George and Matt get some great insight into a few of the more common injuries and training pitfalls that Theo sees in his clinic. Theo then provides some awesome advice to help you navigate these and boost your own training at the same time. \n\nFinally, the guys geek out on the current best practice tendinopathy management protocols (spoiler alert- eating jello might cure your knee pain!) and compare notes on how best to train the foot- considering the requirements for most tactical professionals to operate in boots.\n\nEven if you\u2019re not currently broken or in pain, this episode is well worth a listen; it provides a fantastic illustration of why Human Performance needs to be considered from a well-rounded and multidisciplinary perspective.\n\n\nPlease see below for links to the resources that the gents mention during the podcast.\n\nTheo\u2019s Instagram Page (https://www.instagram.com/tb_physio/?hl=en)\n\nTheo\u2019s Website (www.tbphysio.com)\n\nTheo\u2019s \u2018Always Ready\u2019 Performance Manual (https://www.tbphysio.com/store/p/jam0dibr3fj3l3glybnh0uyal1epku)\n\nTheo and Doug discussing Tendon Care (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fow2d61A8W4)\n\nA link to Dr. Keith Baar\u2019s faculty page at UC Davis, where you can access many of his research papers (https://health.ucdavis.edu/physiology/faculty/baar.html)\n\nA paper from Dr. Keith Baar describing some of the topics Theo mentioned (https://journals.humankinetics.com/view/journals/ijsnem/29/4/article-p453.xml)
