Top 5 Fridays! 5 PT Created Products You Should Try

Since I am an entrepreneur, I thought I would share like minded PTs creations for those looking for innovative products for their practices and patients.

1) Motion Guidance

created by Dr. Tal Blair, DPT
my review of the product here
in essence, it is a great visual tool for patients to practice motor control for almost any area of their body
if you have your patients perform bird dogs for stability, single limb stance, cervical rotations with pattern assistance for motor control, this product is invaluable!

2) The Arc

created by Dr. Gene Shirokobrod, DPT, my fellow Therapy Insiders Podcaster
do your patients like suboccipital release and wish they could get it at home?
do your patient's have necks?
not only does it give the cervical spine a novel input from restored lordosis, it enables the paraspinals to relax
I take this with me when I travel monthly for my seminars and also use it if I get a cervicogenic HA and after 5-10 minutes, any UQ tension or HA is normally relieved
also works great for use as lumbar support and for self mobilization of the thoracic and hard to self treat upper thoracic spines!
I will be posting a full review soon along with other uses

3) Gray Cook Band

developed by FMS/SFMA founder Gray Cook,
after taking SFMA 2 (review here) you get a full appreciation of how versatile this band is and it's many uses for assisted and resisted corrective exercises
I will be posting examples in future videos as soon as next week
seriously, get light, medium and heavy ones for your clinic now!

4) The Pronator

my full review of this handy and innovative take on the hammer we have all used for forearm exercises is here
check out sample videos I shot on how you can use pronators to enhance standard strengthening and corrective exercises, here, here, and here.

5) Lateralizations and Regressions

my pal Charlie Weingroff's long awaited sequel to Training = Rehab
if you want to know more about stretching, mobility, corrective exercise, ways to vary your patient's programming and homework, this is 13+ hours of amazing content
I have assisted Charlie on variations of this course and his first, he is a dynamic speaker, very knowledgeable, and he always humbles me with his presentations

Any other PT developed products out there that I didn't cover (other than The EDGE Mobility System?)
