Here is a picture from our spring break trip to Kauai last week! We had a great time hiking, swimming and spending time together as a family. My oldest daughter is a freshmen in high school this year, so we're trying to make the most of the time we have left with her before she leaves for college.

Hi everyone, I just published a new video on C8 nerve root issues. Compromise of this nerve root will cause pain, numbness and/or tingling in the pinky and ring fingers and inside of the forearm and elbow.

Hi everyone, I just finished completing a diagnostic assessment questionnaire that will help you determine which program would be best to follow in the app based on your symptoms. Here is a link for the free questionnaire, if you want to give it a try. In order for the questionnaire to send you to the correct program, please open the link below in a new tab outside the app.

Hi everybody, I hope you are having a great weekend so far! There won't be an office hours session this coming week as I am traveling with my family for spring break.

If you have any questions this next week, please feel free to start a community post, so we can all learn or send me a private message.

Thank you! -Tom

Here is a link for the replay of today's office hours session. I talked with Deb and Linda who are both practitioners and they shared a ton of good insights about movement, rehab and pain!

The knee joint contains a lateral and medial meniscus, which act as shock absorbers and force transducers. The menisci possess a slight concavity, which improves the fit between the femur and tibia and enhances overall joint stability.

Meniscus injuries can be traumatic or degenerative in nature and are more common in athletes that participate in sports that involve twisting on a planted foot (soccer, basketball, volleyball, etc).

Symptoms associated with a meniscus injury are usually reported as knee pain, catching, locking, buckling of the knee or any combination of these symptoms.

It should also be noted that a large percentage of the asymptomatic population have meniscus tears on MRI and experience no symptoms.  So, don’t immediately get worried if you see evidence of meniscus changes on an MRI.  Instead, focus on improving your level of function and reducing pain.  Many meniscus issues can be resolved with non-surgical care.
