Describing working with Premier Neuro Therapy to get healthy for the 2016 NLDS on The Drill - 1010XL/92.5 FM Jax: 

Basically, it is just trying to fix the imbalances, like fired up beyond tolerance.  It is fairly unpleasant, but it works... A perfect example is - I did my hamstring at the end of the season, so we're all familiar that it wasn't actually my hamstring that was injured... but something that wasn't firing.  So there is some break in the chain.  

So, with me, actually (before the injury), it was my left leg, my left shin, wasn't allowing my leg to fully, basically extend.  And so, because it wasn't extending, it was putting a ton of pressure on the back of my leg on my hamstring, and then it pops.  Because... the load's too great.  

​And then I work through a range of motion, which would be an RDL, like a hamstring stretch.  And I just have to work through it because my body doesn't want to let me do it.  It doesn't want to let me straighten my leg out... Once you've got it straightened out, he pops the intensity up on it, and I do it again.
