Stress and Quantification: Patrick Ward
by Carson Boddicker on Aug 18th, 2010
Lately, Patrick Ward, has been hell bent on understanding the stress response, stress resistance and how it all applies to training. He's offered a great series of blogs in the past few days, including one he was kind enough to share with you all reading this blog on quantification and qualification of stress in the training process. Enjoy! Regards, Carson Boddicker CB@BoddickerPerformance.com _______________________________________...Read More » Tags

Runners hernia and testicular pain
by Carson Boddicker on Nov 24th, 2009
Groin pain is a common complaint among distance runners, and they are at an increased risk of sports hernia for a few reasons. It seems that a loss of hip extension range of motion forces an athlete to compensate with an external rotation pattern and going to the lower abdominal wall to "fake" extension and propel themselves well. This repetition thousands of time per run accelerates the loss of internal rotation range of motion and weakens t...Read More » Tags

A tool for the short term to ensure long term success…
by Carson Boddicker on Oct 6th, 2009
Thinking back to the 2008 Olympic games, I remember watching the beach volleyball tournament and staring curiously at the crazy looking tape job on Kerri Walsh's shoulder and thinking about it's implications. Exactly what is this stuff? Why is it there? Can it be used effectively on areas other than the shoulder? As I found out soon after, it's called kinesio-tape and it's used to treat a variety of musculo-skeletal dysfunctio...Read More » Tags

The Puppeteer and Puppet of Plantar Fasciitis
by Carson Boddicker on Aug 24th, 2009
Recently, I've spent some time with Cassidy Phillips, the owner of Trigger Point, a company that produces self-soft tissue regeneration tools and education products to help make your training more beneficial in the long run by reducing injury potential. Their tools take traditional foam rolling to another level with tools that offer a bit more specificity. One idea that I've picked up in our conversations is the concept of the foot being a p...Read More » Tags

Random Monday Thoughts:
by Carson Boddicker on May 11th, 2009
1. Lately I've been introduced to the idea of adducting into a pad during a glute bridge to activate the pelvic floor and to hope to get a heightened activation of the core. When you look at the pelvic floor part, it makes sense from a deep front line perspective. Also, if you look at young kids learning to walk, you'll see that they have their arms all over the place and squeeze and contract and make funny faces to help them move, the same...Read More » Tags

Ultramarathon Tips
by Carson Boddicker on Mar 26th, 2009
I spoke to an old friend yesterday, and he told me that he had recently decided to enter the world of ultrarunning. For those who are unfamiliar, ultras are distances that exceed the marathon distance by up to four fold (and I am sure probably more). Undertaking such a task is a serious burden, and without the proper steps it is likely that an athlete can end up ill or injured provided the right steps aren't taken. Due to the nature of the u...Read More » Tags

Free E-Book
by Carson Boddicker on Mar 10th, 2009
As there has been a lot of discussion on self-treatment of soft-tissue pain and dysfunction, I thought this to be timely. My good friend Mike Roberston has recently released a free e-book on self-myofascial release. If you are an athlete or just an everyday individual, you should go download it here.

More Than Soft Tissue Work
by Carson Boddicker on Feb 17th, 2009
Let's face it, runners could do with more soft tissue work. Lot's more for that matter. The first thing I recommend to the majority of my clients is buying a foam roll and a tennis ball for some basic self-myofascial release. It can, without a doubt, make a huge difference in preventing injury and keeping the body functioning at a high level. However, there seems to be a tendency to think that all a person needs in the event of an injury ...Read More » Tags

Dealing with Shin Pain
by Carson Boddicker on Feb 10th, 2009
Shin splints is one of those terms that is sort of a "catch-all" when it comes to issues that create lower leg pain and dysfunction--particularly along the medial border of the tibia. Runners are no strangers to such a gamut of issues, and just last season alone, three teammates missed training time on account of shin pain. As it is my goal with all of my athletes to prevent all unnecessary pain and dysfunction, the assessment of my athletes al...Read More » Tags
