PRIME MOVER SERIES - Charley Meade, PT DPT COMT

Introducing the Prime Mover Series- a new kind of episode we are adding to our monthly posts where we will be breaking down all that goes into body movement. From everyday tasks like walking up and down stairs, grocery shopping to professional athletics, and more! Our first Prime Mover episode we interview Charley Meade, Physical Therapist & clinic manager, on his selection of movement: kicking a football. Charley explains every muscle involved in the kick and the importance of strength and mobility in the muscles that aren't technically the main focus of the action, those that stabilize, or as Matt declares, the "Prime Holders". Charley also explains what treatment would look like for athletes having trouble or pain in these movements.

These episodes will be great for students in PT School, refreshers for PTs listening, and general education.

Stay tuned for more Oxford PTs and the movements they choose!
