Transverse Tarsal Joint Mobilization with the Hypervolt

This is Brother Brooke Bush Institute bringing you another potential use for your vibration or percussive massage device. I'm using the hypervolt from hyper ice. I'm going to have my friend Mike Tierney come out. He's gonna help me demonstrate. A potential joint mobilization for the transverse tarsal joints. Now this is kind of exciting because it's not easy to affect your transverse tarsal joints with self-administered techniques. Obviously, this might be something that somebody could do to themselves. Let me show you what this is going to look like. So if I palpate The Taylor neck and then I get right below the Taylor neck. We get all those bones the navicular the cuneiforms the cuboid, right? So those are the bones I want to be on now because we're directly on bone. I'm gonna go ahead and throw a towel over that. And then all I'm going to do is put this on a nice. Middle setting we'll put this on setting too. And I'm gonna slowly Trace just below. What would be the transverse tarsal joint? If you think about it. This is just a really fast oscillation. And for those of you guys who have learned all of your Siri acts Maitland joint mobilizations. We're usually doing oscillations. Usually only had a couple beats per second. I forget what the RPMs that is on this thing, but it's a lot faster. But I have had some success. I'm not saying this is a perfect technique. But a potentially hand saving technique that is worth a try. And once you get comfortable with it, and you're able to assess. Address with the intervention and then reassess and determine its efficacy for the patient or client. It might be something you can give them to do on their own. Right, so I just went ahead and traced all those joints. So maybe now I would have might get up and do his overhead squat or a single leg Squad assessment or just do a couple calf raises and see if he felt any difference in his foot ankle or in his symptoms that he came in with and then if it did feel good now we just have to figure out how am I going to teach Mike to do this to himself? So here's what I'm gonna recommend. Pull out a pen. Let them know that you're gonna draw all over them happy faces flowers, whatever. No what we're gonna do is we're gonna find the Taylor neck find those cuneiform joints and we're gonna draw a line roughly where we think the transverse tarsal joint is and what I'm gonna have Mike do is I'm going to tell Mike. To go ahead and put a towel just below that line. All right, so you can take your towel put it just below that line. Make sure you layer it up pretty good. And then I want you to trace that line with the hypervolt. You can put that on setting to probably be good. All right, make sure you put a little bit of pressure but not too much. And you can see especially if you have like an athlete who's been having like plantar fasciitis and they've been having problems with Achilles tendonitis and like they can't they're having a really hard time keeping their feet moving optimally you'll find that these joints definitely have a propensity to become stiff. This this could be a potential answer. This could be something that they do during their movement prep do their release techniques first, then their joint mobilizations then maybe do their stretches some activation work. All right. Now we finally have some way of self-administered. transverse tarsal joint mobilization definitely give this a try. Like I said, I'm not saying it's a perfect technique. Obviously. This is very very new. I'm very curious to see the success you guys have with it. So, please leave your questions comments case studies and successes in the comments below. Thank you.

Pre-exercise local vibration reduces functional signs and chemical markers of delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and may improve performance in subsequent frequent workouts.

Local vibration is effective for reducing acute muscle pain (and can be added to a home program via the devices like the Hypervolt by Hyperice® or similar devices).

Local vibration alone may be sufficient to increase strength in deconditioned muscles/individuals.

Current research implies that adding vibration to self-administered release techniques (SMR) (e.g. foam rolling) enhances benefits for DOMS, pain pressure sensitivity, and increasing proprioception. Further research is needed to refine protocols and determine whether adding vibration to SMR enhances benefits for increasing range of motion and improving power performance when used as a warm-up.

Protocol for Using Percussion Massage Device

Start with a higher setting and superficially (with gentle pressure) trace the entire surface of the muscle.

Setting 3 is likely appropriate for the lower body.

Take a mental note of dense or sensitive points. Manual therapists may use the opposite hand to palpate for taut bands and nodules (trigger points).

Stay away from areas where the bone is superficial. Using percussion massage devices over bone may be uncomfortable, painful, and/or cause bruising. Placing a finger or thumb over bony protuberances will prevent accidental contact.

Using a piece with a smaller surface area and lower setting (setting 1), return to the dense/sensitive points using deeper compression.

It may be helpful to add tension or slack by shortening or lengthening the target tissue

The Brookbush Institute recommends 30 seconds to 2 minutes per muscle group, and 5 minutes as an upper limit even in the case of multiple trigger points.

Bony Areas: (Place a towel folded several times over the targeted joints)

The dorsum of the foot is a "bony surface" with only a thin lay of fascia between the skin and bones.

 These gliding joints resulting from the approximation of the talus, calcaneus, tarsal bones, and metatarsal bones, may exhibit increased stiffness and restrict normal foot motion.

Through a folded towel, apply pressure over the proximal third of the dorsum of these joint in an anterior-to-posterior direction. Hold over each joint for 10 - 30 seconds. Manual therapists can assess if arthrokinematics stiffness has reduced using manual passive accessory mobilizations.
