Many innovative products are inspired by adversity, and our revolutionary RPM² footbeds are a perfect example of that. When CEO Johnny Ross underwent reconstructive knee surgery, he saw flaws in the rehabilitation process, the primary problem being the subjective nature of measuring progress during physical therapy, especially when it comes to measuring bilateral symmetry. As a way to provide more objective measurements in a person’s performance, he began working on, and ultimately inventing, our remote performance monitoring footbeds, which have helped elite athletes detect and correct bilateral deficits. Triathlete Mark Maclachlan has benefited from RPM² in both respects. After earning th..

The MedHab team is excited to announce the addition of a real-time calibrated power meter for cyclists to our RPM² system. Linked from your footbed inserts to your smartphone, this new RPM² feature requires no extra equipment, unlike other popular—and expensive—products on the market that provide comparable data about your leg power during cycling. What Is a Power Meter? A power meter measures your overall leg power, left leg versus right leg power, and cadence during your ride. Instead of measuring the body’s response to a workout, the power meter tells you how much work you actually perform, helping you find the sweet spot between overtraining, which can result in injury, and working too l..

Last September, we discussed the White Paper published by Dr. Kelly Brooks, a former professor at A&M University, Corpus Christi. In her report, Dr. Brooks evaluated the RPM² inserts and wrote “proper mechanics will also increase performance by increasing running efficiency…Mechanics are key to success in all distances of running events, though improper mechanics during long distance runs will have a increasingly detrimental effect as the runner continues to train and stress their joints.”  Recently, an experienced endurance coach, Dr. Joseph Sheppard, has evaluated and endorsed our products and we are thrilled to share the news. Joseph Sheppard, D.C., used our products on an athlete and pro..

As an elite athlete, you know the importance of maintaining a strong core, but there’s another “core” muscle group that often gets neglected in a runner’s strength training program: the glutes. These strong, large muscles should play the starring role in your running activity rather than allowing the smaller, supporting muscles to take over. When your glutes are weak, bilateral deficiencies are a foregone conclusion. Here’s what you need to know about how vital these powerhouse muscles are to your running performance. What Do the Glutes Do? The glutes consist of three muscles in the buttocks: the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, and gluteus minimus. During a run, the glutes are responsible f..

An adequate amount of sleep every night is essential for mental, emotional, and physical well-being. This is even truer for high-performance athletes, who place more demands on their bodies than the average person. The right amount of sleep helps the body recover after training and can shave minutes off your performance time. Here are the facts about sleep and why it can make or break your athletic performance. The Stages of Sleep During sleep, you cycle through five stages repeatedly until you wake up. Stage one occurs when your body begins to relax and you float in and out of sleep. Stage two is when you enter sleep, and during this phase, your brain waves slow down and your body temperatu..

Typically a low-injury sport, cycling can still cause overuse injuries in elite athletes. These injuries are often due to improper cycling technique, but other factors, such as a lack of adequate stretching and muscular imbalance, can also play a part. One common injury among cyclists is patellar tendinitis, which is an inflammation of the tendon that connects the kneecap to the shin bone. The Facts About Patellar Tendinitis Patellar tendinitis is also called “jumper’s knee” because it typically manifests in athletes who do a lot of jumping, such as volleyball and basketball players. However, it is also a common cycling injury that can be caused by a seat that is too low or from using the bi..
