Great post Scott,
It is unfortunate that many practicing PT’s do not know the benefits of these fantastic exercises. I went to a continuing education course last year where the presenter mentioned TGU’s and you could tell by the blank stares that no one knew what he was talking about (the audience included PT’s and OT’s). Gray Cook and some others have really helped to bring awareness to the importance of proprioception and reflex stabilization in exercises like the TGU, but many therapists are still in the mindset of training the RTC using isolation exercises. Keep spreading the good word.

Thanks a lot Brian, I really appreciate that!
I think slowly, but surely, the great, progressive PT’s (like yourself) will rise to the top and spread the message.
Eventually, the “old” thinking and methods will fade and the more progressive, effective methods will become more known and utilized by the mavericks and the pioneers out there.
Yes, Gray Cook and now Kelly Starrett will hopefully help the shift the “conventional” mindset of the PT and OT.
It’s unfortunate that many PT’s don’t have the exercise or strength training background at all. That’s a big piece that’s missing (glad to see you’re CSCS) I think that’s one of the key reasons why rehab professionals are still stuck with the common isolation exercises that I learned in PT school many years ago.
Thanks again for the feedback and you are a “Maverick.”
Cheers! Scott
