How effective is vibration therapy in improving Glenohumeral internal rotation?

In 2016, a study led by W. Steven Tucker and Stephen W. Slone has highlighted the potential benefits of combining proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) stretching with vibration therapy to improve shoulder mobility in athletes suffering from Glenohumeral Internal-Rotation Deficit (GIRD). This condition, commonly affecting overhead athletes, can lead to a reduced range of motion in the shoulder, limiting performance and increasing the risk of injury. … Continue reading How effective is vibration therapy in improving Glenohumeral internal rotation?

Is regular exercise the key to lowering Cardiac injury in seniors?

In 2016, a pilot study led by Christopher R. deFilippi and colleagues provides encouraging evidence that moderate physical activity (PA) can help protect the hearts of older adults, potentially reducing subclinical cardiac injury. The study, published by the LIFE Study Group, looked at the effects of moderate exercise on cardiac health, specifically measuring high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT)—a biomarker linked to heart cell damage and … Continue reading Is regular exercise the key to lowering Cardiac injury in seniors?
