I NEVER NEVER NEVER comment on videos, but I loved every second of this video. Cant wait for more!!! I would love to hear your perspective on overuse lumbar injuries and proper healing methods, or movements.
I also like to explain to clients that isometrics (and exercise in general) can help provide pain-relief (contraction-induced analgesia). So many assume that because they have pain, moving more automatically means it's going to hurt more. Great video. Your athletic career is going to give you great street cred working with high level athletes who can clearly relate to you.
Isometrics are so under rated! I use them a lot in my warm ups and accessory work. I fortunately haven't had any issues with my hips, but I can definitely throw together some hip impingement info!
@@patrickvellner4367 that'd be great. I'm a practicing physio and have encountered it a lot over the years but I'm always looking for new perspectives. Even if just to confirm that I'm not missing anything that's newly emerged for treatment.
The most common injuries i see are related to lower back and it would be really nice if you could give some tips on how to not only strengthen but also keep the lower back in a pretty solid state that it won’t get injured. Also really happy you got into the youtube game. PAT IS SO STRONGGGG💪💪💪💪
I truly believe pat you are the most level headed competitor and smartest man on the bar. Love this, a man of huge intelligence with amazing athleticism sharing experience and science. Keep crushing pat
What an awesome video. I'd love to hear some recommendations on rotator cuff, specifically infraspinatus and supra. I've been trying to rehab a nagging soreness in that area to no avail.
what an athlete and professional you are, so bloody good! talk about shoulder injury and rehab post surgery, would be great!!!! Also this is my first time commenting on some video!!! Again, you're awesome bro!
So excited to see more . Thank you Pat. Can you talk about prevention and rehab of RADIAL NERVE (forearm pain) , golf or tennis elbow pain/injury from lots of pulling and gripping.
Definitely! I'll probably make some sore of general tendinitis video and then maybe a separate one for some of the more common tendinitis issues that I see like elbows and knees
@@patrickvellner4367 Maybe shoulders too? As a climber, shoulder health is pretty critical, but so much seems to impact health in that joint. Awesome video, thanks for sharing your knowledge!
I just recently strained my hamstring so your video came at the perfect time! Really good tips, keep it up!! I can verify that being patient is the toughest part for me!
I ruined the whole patient thing following knee surgery and ended up with an over use injury where hamstrings join to pelvis. The over use injury is alot tougher to recover from. Lesson learned though so that's a positive. So stay patient mate because the alternative sucks.
I’m like Chase and NEVER comment but feel compelled to do so. This is absolutely fantastic!! So informative and love that you shared your personal experience. I know there is a lot of ground to cover regarding injuries but would love to hear about shoulder rehab whenever you feel that you can fit it in. Please keep this kind of content coming!!
Thanks for the feedback! Yikes! Shoulders are SO SO complicated! It might take a few videos to sort things out. I'm for sure going to do a section on common shoulder impingements. LOTS of that in the CrossFit world.
Love this idea for series. I’ve had bad knees since I was a kid(30now). I think part is from sports (catcher in baseball, and basketball player). I have patella femoral syndrome and jumpers knee that never really goes away rather calms down then if overdue it, acts up. Unfortunately as a basketball player, my jumpers knee gets pretty bad sometimes. I find it to be such a frustrating thing to deal with that feels like will never truly go away. It would be awesome to hear something about dealing with jumpers knee and knee related issues. Good luck this season and look forward to this series from you. Sending ❤️ from Saskatchewan, Canada
This was impeccably timed content. Coming up on rotator cuff/bicep tendon repair surgery and know that patience is going to be the key to total recovery.
Woof! Rotator cuff is a tough one! Good luck with your rehab, you got this! Remember to build back that range of motion first! The last thing you want after a long recovery is to have limited range in your shoulder.
Dude huge fan and love that your doing this!!! Great video… I’m currently coming off of a lower back injury due to over use took over a year to heal where I could squat clean again properly. Been through a right shoulder injury when I started CrossFit 2 years ago now my left posterior shoulder doing the same would love a video on shoulders and lower back like you said in the video. Also are you going to continue competing???
Really appreciated the content Pat. Timely, informative and relevant. Currently dealing with a strain in the quadricep tendon and being patient is a struggle. It's good hearing your experience and how you approached dealing with your injury. Thanks.
This was excellent Patrick! Thank you! Very cool blending realms of the athlete and the Dr. I’d love to hear/learn more about the shoulder. Recovery from Grade 1-2 tears, overuse, plans/thoughts on how to develop a plan as an athlete who once a certain type of year comes around you’re in competitive season, a gradual increase in volume/demand in the shoulder happens how to best avoid these things. Thanks in advance!
I actually created a TH-cam account just to comment on this video. This is fantastic content! I second the request for any thoughts on knee issues or OA. I have osteoarthritis in my right knee with a baker’s cyst. Given the issue it’s more a matter of modifying training for the long haul but still would be interested in your thoughts on OA or knee issues.
For the past year I have had lower back pain, specifically sacrum. I don't remember injuring my back. Got an xray recently which showed Grade 1 anterolisthesis of L5 on S1 and Degenerative changes at L5-S1 disc. Doctor just said that I have arthritis and to take naproxen. I'm looking around to find a sports therapy doctor to actually try to rehab this.
I'll definitely do a low back series soon! Hopefully I can provide you with some other ideas or things you can try and help you stave off some pain and feel stronger and more confident again!
Hi Patrick! Thanks for high over of the rehab process, does provide a good guideline. Since you asked about other’s issues :), mine is a 3 year long supraspinatus tendinosys. Yes, it went from tendinitis to this now. Range of motion is no longer a problem however external rotation caused pain again. As well as having a backpack on a hike. What’s your take on it, have you had experience with it? Thanks PS will be rooting at the games!!!
OK, you don't hear much about this in the fitness space, but after giving birth, I'm struggling with a weak pelvis, specifically rear lower back. My PT explained it''s super common for women, but we aren't told much about it or how to strengthen post partum. Have any advise? Thanks! Love what you're doing here!
First of all, pregnancy is CRAZY! The changes your body goes through are truly incredible and a LOT changes happens in the pelvis and low back area to say the least. I must admit, I'm not an expert in this area and I'd only be confident in giving advice on rehabbing low back or pelvic pain in the general population, Which might be fine, but might be missing something. There are pelvic floor physios who are a bit more tapped into the specific challenges women face post partum. I can do my best, but I'd be remiss if I didn't recommend seeing one of them. Good luck!
Would be great Pay if you could detail the process of rehab and recovery through the lens of a Crossfittwr who we know has been on this recovery journey. Brooke Wells for instance etc. Could double up as an interview on their athletic and rehab journey.
very informative video I have two issues #1 psoas is tight which causes lower lumbar movement restrictions. #2 like your injury adductor muscle strain after every squat /leg training session. maybe a video on the Psoas muscle rehab
Just as informative in person if you are lucky enough to get an appointment with Dr. Vellner! For dodgeball rehab, we work on a lot of elbow, shoulder, and knee pain if you need future content!
Really helpful and well presented! Would love to hear some advice regarding tendinitis, specifically in the knee. I’ve suffered with this recently having trained for a half marathon and now it won’t go away! Thanks
I am 42 and have been doing CrossFit on and off, and have limited range of motion in my left elbow from early arthritis and built up scar tissue, most likely from thousands of push-ups and bench press over the years and falling on that elbow as a skateboarder when I was younger. I am wondering if there is anything specific you would suggest for more ROM short of surgery.
I’m a 16 year old CrossFit athlete and about a week before the open I strained my wrist doing heavy snatch balances. Since then I’ve been taking it easy but It’s been in this not getting better but not getting worse phase. Do you have any suggestions on movements I could do(ROM and strengthening)?
I’ve got one that is probably more for the chiro side of your being: mid-back strain. I’m very active, doing Marcus Filly’s programming, but am otherwise deskbound. I have this strange issue where when I look down, my middle back cramps up. This could be looking down at my phone, making breakfast, etc. When is it a good time to see the chiro or PT vs self-rehab?
It’s unfortunately really tough to say without being able to assess you. I would recommend getting in to see someone if things aren’t progressing and a good therapist should be able to give you some homework to do to get you back on track!
I’m rehabbing a grade 2 shoulder separation. Just starting to add weight after regaining mobility. Any tips to strengthen and “bulletproof” my shoulders going forward?
LOTS of shoulder stability work. Hit every possible position you can think of and get creative. Shoulder separations are a ligament injury and its likely that the tissue wont heal back to its initial strength. Think of it as getting packed out. So you have to compensate for some loss in ligament support by adding more muscular support!
Hey Pat. I’ve watch your career and appreciate the amount of training and expertise it takes to get to the level you are💪. I’m old and broken(52 lol ☺️) but would love some guidance when you encounter people who have osteoarthritis in both hips. What do you suggest to them to rehab at the start for less pain and strength gains?
I gave up on my goal of running a half marathon as I tend to get a sore knee. I don't know the cause, but I would love to resume this goal if I can sort out this problem! Any advice? Great video. Thanks! :)
lol. That would be nice! Unfortunately in my experience you get out of it what you put in. Even the simplest of stretches requires that you make time to do it. It's a big part of my job and I even find it hard a lot of the time! I will definitely do a segment on some effective ways to stretch in order to maximize the bang for your buck and improve your functional range of motion!
Can you also talk about breaking bones. I broke my finger in July (right ring finger). Seems as if my tendons shorten. And it could be so annoying and a bit painful.
We can get a bit into structural stuff like bones sure! There for sure can sometimes be structural changes after a break but often a long period of immobilization during the healing process can lead to muscle atrophy and the fibers may not move as well leading to a shortened feeling. This is another instance where getting range of motion back and then building strength is important. Try to keep moving it as much and big as you can!
Could you talked about shoulders. Had a pop in the front of my shoulder doing devil's press. It's a month later and it still clicks. I I can still push and pull but not 100%
This video came right when i had a hamstring tear from a sprint on an assault runner. The psychological part is the hardest, not only being patient but comminting to still going to the gym and training what you can, don't want to even think how i will feel when i will be able to squat some weight again. Also up to now i couldn't understand if you gotta move the muscle right after the injury or if you got to wait for it to feel better and have some rom back. This video cleared it up. Great content, keep it comming!
Great video, Pat. As a physical therapist in the states there’s some overlap in our roles with chiros. I think this was accessible and easily digestible to the lay person. Hope this program continues and it stays evidence based.
Thanks Pat. This is great information and it's very interesting getting your perspective as both an athlete and health professional. I'm about four and half months into my recovery from a torn patella tendon and can certainly can appreciate when you say being patient can be the hardest part but treating my rehab as training really helped. My PT cleared me to go back to the box about three weeks ago probably for no other reason but to stop my incessant asking of when I restart CrossFit. This where the infinite scalability of CrossFit really comes in handy...plus she made me promise not to do anything stupid. Three weeks in and so far so good! Looking forward to the next video in the series.
Good luck with the rest of the process! The more you're able to do the harder it definitely gets to keep yourself in check. keep slowly building up that strength, coordination and confidence!
Hamstrings are slow, especially if the pain is higher up in the groin instead of closer to the knee. Keep trying to engage them in ALL ranges of motion. Remember that your hamstring flexes the knee but also extends the hip. Slowly build up load/intensity within tolerable ranges and expect some setbacks. Remember, by adductor strain took 7 months to heal fully. It's a battle, stay strong.
Great content. Keep it coming. Question: I recently had an ultrasound on my R shoulder. The report states I have a high-grade partial articular surface tear of the SST, measuring 11 x 17 mm. When I look up high-grade tears, it typically states that more than 50% of the tendon has sheared away but that's kinda vague - could be 51% or could be significantly higher. Does the above measurement offer any insight?
Hi Pat, thanks for this series dedicated to Rehab. I would like to hear recommendations to strengthen shoulders, for example I suffer pain sometimes when executing over head movements such as jerk, snatch. Thanks.
Great vid! Looking forward to a lot of the ideas already mentioned here (tendinitis, low back issues, hip issues). Along those notes, would love your thoughts on how to effectively improve mobility as part of rehabbing a recurring injury or injury prevention esp with muscles that are hard to stretch. I specifically really struggle with tightness along the left adductor and feel it pull all the way to the low back and left hip. Have never been able to really improve mobility on it in a significant way despite trying to stretch it constantly…it’s always just there and less flexible than the other side and ready to throw my lower back into disarray.
Loved this pat. Would love to see you cover a wide variety of bodyweight exercises/ home gym exercises or movements that one could do at home that helps prepare muscles for the bigger lifts. I.e squats, power cleans, snatch etc..
I'd love to see some advice on osteolysis and stress fractures. Currently have distal clavicular osteolysis and significant oedema. I've been told is a common overuse shoulder injury.
Shoulders are pretty complicated since there’s a LOT of different muscles coming together that all so different things. If you know what muscle is strained some of the information in this video should help you out. You could try to get in to see a therapist to help you figure out where exactly the damage is if you’re not sure.
Loved this! Would love if you covered something on improving hip tightness. My squat stance is very narrow (I have very long limbs & 6ft female) and as a result of narrow stance my torso leans forward a lot. I've been working hard on tempo work with a slightly wider stance and it's helping but just sooo much tightness in inner hip area/feeling of no space. Would love any advice you have on this! Thanks :)
Loved this very helpful as I am also a man that doesn’t listen to myself or goes 0-100 lol I strained / tore my satorious muscle, my abductor along with my hip flexor and a strain in my back that cause some nerve pain all on the left side a few months back and patiently still working my way back 🏋️♂️💪🏼😎 love the info.
Ankle recovery from fracture of talus, &/or tib/fib fractures & severe tendon injuries. Process of rehab + mobility + strength. Encountered this personally, but as well as other athletes I know, and even some gym members!
Yes! I'm right there with you! Ankle injuries are really common and the basics don't change too much even with more severe injuries, things are just scaled a bit. I'll definitely be doing a couple of ankle videos.
Hi Pat great video. Looking forward to seeing the next video.. I was wondering if you have any rehab info on wrists?? My wrist can be sore or tender for a few days after a tough class.
Pat you’re the man. Greatly timed video as I stained my hip flexors 5 weeks ago and still dealing with it in the squat position! Appreciate the information, very hard to stay patient as I feel like I’m losing fitness. Thank you for your positivity!
That's always the hardest part. Try to get creative play with some isometric holds in different positions of the squat as you get better. At one point in my video here you can see that I use pins to do isometric holds while driving up out of a squat. Give it a shot! Rehab can still be challenging!
This is great! Would love to hear more of these. I'd love to hear about imbalances, specifically hip imbalances, but shoulders too I guess. I feel like everyone has one but has no clue what to do about it (myself included!)
Muscle imbalances are an interesting topic, and may not be as big of an issue as you might think (Depending on your goals). I'll see what I can come up with!

Just what I needed to hear post trauma surgery. I so bad want to get back at it... but it's time to prioritize recovering right.
I NEVER NEVER NEVER comment on videos, but I loved every second of this video. Cant wait for more!!! I would love to hear your perspective on overuse lumbar injuries and proper healing methods, or movements.
I appreciate that!
I'll definitely mix in some low back content!
I also like to explain to clients that isometrics (and exercise in general) can help provide pain-relief (contraction-induced analgesia). So many assume that because they have pain, moving more automatically means it's going to hurt more.
Great video. Your athletic career is going to give you great street cred working with high level athletes who can clearly relate to you.
Also, I'd love to hear about hip impingement. Because of all the squatting you do, have you ever had an issue with that?
Isometrics are so under rated! I use them a lot in my warm ups and accessory work.
I fortunately haven't had any issues with my hips, but I can definitely throw together some hip impingement info!
@@patrickvellner4367 that'd be great. I'm a practicing physio and have encountered it a lot over the years but I'm always looking for new perspectives. Even if just to confirm that I'm not missing anything that's newly emerged for treatment.

There for sure can sometimes be structural changes after a break but often a long period of immobilization during the healing process can lead to muscle atrophy and the fibers may not move as well leading to a shortened feeling.
This is another instance where getting range of motion back and then building strength is important. Try to keep moving it as much and big as you can!
UCL tears in elbow as well as general tendinitis and golfers elbow type stuff.
Working on some golfers and tennis elbow content now!
Awesome! Patella Tendonitis and how to manage the different stages!
100%!
Foot injury prevention as a runner…. Please.
I'd love to do some injury prevention stuff!
Great content!! I am looking forward to more info from your CrossFit/Chiropractic knowledge
Wow you are such a great professor - DAMN!!! Congratulations and thanks a lot!
Could you talked about shoulders. Had a pop in the front of my shoulder doing devil's press. It's a month later and it still clicks. I I can still push and pull but not 100%
Great video Pat. Looking forward to more of these recovery videos.
this.was.awsome! Thanks for sharing Patrick!
This video came right when i had a hamstring tear from a sprint on an assault runner. The psychological part is the hardest, not only being patient but comminting to still going to the gym and training what you can, don't want to even think how i will feel when i will be able to squat some weight again.
Also up to now i couldn't understand if you gotta move the muscle right after the injury or if you got to wait for it to feel better and have some rom back. This video cleared it up. Great content, keep it comming!
Love these, can’t wait to see more as Pat grows into his Chiro career.
I would like to know about knee injure/pain. Thanks!
Great video, Pat. As a physical therapist in the states there’s some overlap in our roles with chiros. I think this was accessible and easily digestible to the lay person. Hope this program continues and it stays evidence based.
Always follow the evidence!
We love Patty Vellney!!!! Love this man, thank you
Love this as a CrossFit coach and physical therapist assistant
Pat is so strong :)
Awesome.
Thanks Pat. This is great information and it's very interesting getting your perspective as both an athlete and health professional. I'm about four and half months into my recovery from a torn patella tendon and can certainly can appreciate when you say being patient can be the hardest part but treating my rehab as training really helped. My PT cleared me to go back to the box about three weeks ago probably for no other reason but to stop my incessant asking of when I restart CrossFit. This where the infinite scalability of CrossFit really comes in handy...plus she made me promise not to do anything stupid. Three weeks in and so far so good!
Looking forward to the next video in the series.
Good luck with the rest of the process! The more you're able to do the harder it definitely gets to keep yourself in check.
keep slowly building up that strength, coordination and confidence!
Hey, can you make a video about herniated disc and following nerve pain?
Dealing with the for month now...
Definitely!
I was planning to do some a low back series so I can add some information on disc herniations into there as well!
I injured a hamstring and it’s taking forever to heal. Is there anything I can do to promote healing?
Hamstrings are slow, especially if the pain is higher up in the groin instead of closer to the knee.
Keep trying to engage them in ALL ranges of motion. Remember that your hamstring flexes the knee but also extends the hip. Slowly build up load/intensity within tolerable ranges and expect some setbacks.
Remember, by adductor strain took 7 months to heal fully. It's a battle, stay strong.

Great content. Keep it coming.
Question: I recently had an ultrasound on my R shoulder. The report states I have a high-grade partial articular surface tear of the SST, measuring 11 x 17 mm. When I look up high-grade tears, it typically states that more than 50% of the tendon has sheared away but that's kinda vague - could be 51% or could be significantly higher. Does the above measurement offer any insight?
Hi Pat, thanks for this series dedicated to Rehab. I would like to hear recommendations to strengthen shoulders, for example I suffer pain sometimes when executing over head movements such as jerk, snatch. Thanks.
Great vid! Looking forward to a lot of the ideas already mentioned here (tendinitis, low back issues, hip issues). Along those notes, would love your thoughts on how to effectively improve mobility as part of rehabbing a recurring injury or injury prevention esp with muscles that are hard to stretch. I specifically really struggle with tightness along the left adductor and feel it pull all the way to the low back and left hip. Have never been able to really improve mobility on it in a significant way despite trying to stretch it constantly…it’s always just there and less flexible than the other side and ready to throw my lower back into disarray.
Loved this pat. Would love to see you cover a wide variety of bodyweight exercises/ home gym exercises or movements that one could do at home that helps prepare muscles for the bigger lifts. I.e squats, power cleans, snatch etc..
I'd love to see some advice on osteolysis and stress fractures. Currently have distal clavicular osteolysis and significant oedema. I've been told is a common overuse shoulder injury.
Great new hairstyle
Great segment! Looking forward to more.
What advice do you have for shoulder strain?
Shoulders are pretty complicated since there’s a LOT of different muscles coming together that all so different things.
If you know what muscle is strained some of the information in this video should help you out. You could try to get in to see a therapist to help you figure out where exactly the damage is if you’re not sure.
@@patrickvellner4367 I think it’s called the anterior felt. It’s definitely the from area of my shoulder.
@@patrickvellner4367 thanks I am going to try the tips from this video
Good info Pat!
Loved this! Would love if you covered something on improving hip tightness. My squat stance is very narrow (I have very long limbs & 6ft female) and as a result of narrow stance my torso leans forward a lot. I've been working hard on tempo work with a slightly wider stance and it's helping but just sooo much tightness in inner hip area/feeling of no space. Would love any advice you have on this! Thanks :)
Lots going on in the hips that can lead to feelings of tightness or impingement. I'll see what I can do!
Loved this very helpful as I am also a man that doesn’t listen to myself or goes 0-100 lol I strained / tore my satorious muscle, my abductor along with my hip flexor and a strain in my back that cause some nerve pain all on the left side a few months back and patiently still working my way back 🏋️♂️💪🏼😎 love the info.
Wow, thats'd a doozie!
Take care of yourself and stay strong!
Ankle recovery from fracture of talus, &/or tib/fib fractures & severe tendon injuries. Process of rehab + mobility + strength. Encountered this personally, but as well as other athletes I know, and even some gym members!
Yes! I'm right there with you! Ankle injuries are really common and the basics don't change too much even with more severe injuries, things are just scaled a bit. I'll definitely be doing a couple of ankle videos.
Hi Pat great video. Looking forward to seeing the next video.. I was wondering if you have any rehab info on wrists?? My wrist can be sore or tender for a few days after a tough class.
I’ll see what I can come up with!
Excited for more RR! Would love to see low back videos!
It’s in the works!
Pat you’re the man. Greatly timed video as I stained my hip flexors 5 weeks ago and still dealing with it in the squat position! Appreciate the information, very hard to stay patient as I feel like I’m losing fitness. Thank you for your positivity!
That's always the hardest part.
Try to get creative play with some isometric holds in different positions of the squat as you get better.
At one point in my video here you can see that I use pins to do isometric holds while driving up out of a squat. Give it a shot! Rehab can still be challenging!
@@patrickvellner4367 awesome thank you so much Pat!
Great info! Front squats kill my low back so looking forward to that episode!
This is great! Would love to hear more of these.
I'd love to hear about imbalances, specifically hip imbalances, but shoulders too I guess. I feel like everyone has one but has no clue what to do about it (myself included!)
Muscle imbalances are an interesting topic, and may not be as big of an issue as you might think (Depending on your goals). I'll see what I can come up with!
