By: John Paul Guidry DPT CSCS

Low back pain is one of the most common orthopedic problems treated today. It is the leading cause of disability in Americans under the age of 45. Although steadily increasing, treatments like surgeries, injections, and pain meds, while helpful for some, are not successful in treating low back pain overall. There is strong evidence supporting manual and movement based therapies for painful musculoskeletal problems; therefore, physical therapy can be a viable option for treating low back pain without the negative effects of the treatments listed above. In this article, I would like to dispel some of the myths associated with low back pain and hopefully give and low back pain. Core strengthening exercise programs have been the readers a better idea of what to do if they experience it. The first shown to be no better than general exercise or even walking in myth: Damage and/or degeneration is correlated with pain. While treating low back pain. The spine is a strong, resilient structure and in damage and degeneration such as disc injuries, sprains or strains, arthritis, stenosis etc. are one factor in why someone may have pain, they most cases people with pain have more issues relaxing the muscles in do not have a direct correlation with pain. Pain is a multi-factorial issue their back rather than needing to increase the strength in them. Thinking that you have a weak back can cause more fear and in which damage or injury is only one factor; social relationships, environment, genetics, stress and anxiety are just a few of the many factors pain and lead to a decrease in function. Your back is not weak or out of place. While core exercises can be a beneficial part of a low back that effect whether someone may experience low back pain or pain in general. Pain is about sensitivity of the nerves not about damage to the pain rehabilitation program, the best course of treatment is proper education, a graded return to full movement and activity, manual thertissues. It is an output of the brain in response to a threat of which can be any number of things with tissue damage being only one. Therefore, apies, general exercise and movement, as well as keeping yourself in no matter what your MRI or X-Ray may show, if severe injury or disease good general physical and mental health. Physical therapy can be a great choice for most people with low back pain without the risks assois ruled out, the rest of the results do not correlate well pain. The second myth: People with low back pain should always avoid certain move- ciated with surgery, pain meds or injections. This information is not a substitute for a proper medical examination and treatment, so if you ments or activities. While acutely some movements or activities should are experiencing low back pain or pain in general please see a Medical be avoided, the goal is to restore all motions of the spine and return to Doctor or Physical Therapist for a proper evaluation of your complaints full activities as soon as possible. A common belief is that people with before starting any type of treatment or exercise program. low back pain should never bend forward or lift, but the reality is that people with low back pain or injury with a properly guided, graded activity and exercise program should be able to return to those activities with minimal to no issues. The third and last myth: Low back pain is related to either your spine/pelvis being out of place or due to a weak back or core. Firstly, there is no evidence supporting that the joints of our spine or pelvis can go out of place. Therefore, when you get manipuwww.guidrypt.com lated by a chiropractor or physical therapist and John Paul Guidry DPT, CSCS JohnPaul@guidrypt.com feel better, it is not because a joint was put back 61700 Hwy 434 Unit D Phone (985) 882-8427 in place, but rather most likely due to a change in Lacombe, La 70445 Fax (985) 882-8429 the threat to the nervous system as well as possible placebo effects. There is also a very poor correlation between core strength or weakness

Pick #1

2016 Draft Picks Rd/Pick POS Pick #1: Miles Garrett |DE| Texas A&M Aggies Analysis: The Browns will most likely select the best player on the board with the first overall pick, unless they use this pick like last season and trade down. The Browns need a lot of help both on the offence and defense so they could go either way. Last seasons number one pick Corey Coleman only produced 33 receptions for 413 and three touchdowns. Emmanuel Ogbah lead the team in sacks last season with 5.5, so some help in the pass rush game will help the defense. Garrett teamed up with Ogbah could make a potent pass rush that will make the entire defense better. He will not help the team score more points, but he will help put the offense in better scoring positions. The Browns could really use a franchise QB, but since I do not think there is a QB in this draft worthy of a number one overall pick, they will have to find other needs to fill with this pick.

2. Cameron Robinson |OT| Alabama

Analysis: So how do you shop for a team with needs across the board? Start with finding a QB to build around. Since there is not a quarterback that could start day one for an NFL team in this years draft, I have the 49ers picking Cameron Robinson, the best offensive lineman available. Cameron will bolster their line and will be able to help protect whomever they pick to fill the role as their quarterback.

Rashard Robinson

LSU

Five-star recruit and three-year starter at left tackle who is a road grader with impressive power at the point of attack and enough athleticism to function in diverse run schemes. Robinson has tape galore against SEC edge talent either playing in the NFL or who soon will be. The tape shows a player with the traits and physical ability to be a good NFL tackle, but his balance issues and inconsistencies as a pass protector are a concern. Robinson is a candidate to be overdrafted due to the position he plays and his size, but buyer beware as some of his deficiencies might not be easily correctable. (NFL Network)

Analysis: With the addition of QB Mike Glennon, Chicago could be turning its attention to CB or safety as an early selection. Finding competition at left guard and left tackle could be a priority, while adding a pass-catching TE to go with Dion Sims could be an option. I feel that Safety Jamal Adams is a huge upgrade here. SOURCES TELL US "The people who have been at that program the longest think he might be the best leader LSU has had in years. He's a no-doubt firstrounder. He can play all over the field and he could have an immediate impact on defense just like Landon Collins did coming out. I love him. I think he's a winner." - AFC area scout (NFL Network)

Analysis: With the trade of Julius Thomas, the Jaguars could look to add a playmaker early in the draft. The release of Jared Odrick frees up a spot for a defensive tackle, while the offensive line still needs more talent at a couple different spots. I have running back Leonard Fournette going here because has the potential to be one of the All-Time greats. He is being compared to Bo Jackson. BOTTOM LINE High-end talent with rare blend of size, speed and power. Comparisons to Adrian Peterson feel lofty, but from a physical standpoint, he's there. Fournette doesn't have the wiggle to make defenders miss and his vision can be iffy. However, if your run fits and tackling aren't sound, he can take it the distance in an instant. May have durability concerns due to physical running style, but has All-Pro potential. (NFL Network)

Pick #5 2016 record: 9-7 (.465) Top needs: CB, WR, ILB (from Los Angeles Rams) 5. Mike Williams |WR| Clemson

2016 Draft Picks

Analysis: The secondary has to be addressed fairly early in the draft for the Titans with the WR talent inside the division. Mariota caught fire in 2016, but still needs a trustworthy WR. The Titans would greatly benefit from finding an inside linebacker who can cover on third downs. BOTTOM LINE Williams looks the part of a WR1 and has shown an ability to work all three levels of the field after coming back from his 2015 neck injury. Williams is tough enough to be a high-volume target while working the middle of the field and his size and ball skills make him a formidable foe in the end zone. He'll have to be coached up with his routes and releases, but he has the talent to become a big safety blanket for a young quarterback. (NFL Network)

6. Cordrea Tankersley |CB| Clemson

Analysis: Josh McCown gives the Jets a "now" starting option, but they could still address the QB spot within the first two rounds. The Jets are talented up front, but they're still in need of an edge-bending rusher. The addition of Morris Claiborne doesn't change their need at CB.

Has an impressive body of work as a lockdown, boundary cornerback but he has some holes in his transitions that could open the door for more separation on the next level. While he's not always the most fluid in coverage, his 6-foot-1 frame and eight interceptions will be the two numbers some teams will focus heavily on. If he runs well at pre-draft workouts, his stock could soar thanks to his size and production. (NFL Network)

Pick #7

2016 record: 5-11 (.543) Top needs: WR, DE, OG 7. Jonathan Allen |DE| Alabama Analysis: Keenan Allen had to deal with another injury last season and it is becoming clear that receiver should be a priority within the first three rounds. The transition to a 4-3 requires another DE, while adding a guard who could challenge for a starter's job seems smart. The Chargers could go with a WR here, but I think if Jonathan Allen is here, they grab him to compliment Joey Bosa on the other side of the line.

SOURCES TELL US "He's a really talented pass rusher but he's always been surrounded by enough talent that it's been hard for offenses to game plan their protection for him.

8. Malik McDowell |DE| Michigan State Analysis: Even with the addition of Matt Kalil to the left side, the right tackle spot is still a question mark. Julius Peppers is a Band-Aid addition at DE. Carolina could go after Malik in hopes of his overall potential. At 6ft 6in 295 lbs. and ran a 4.8 40 at the combine, it could be hard to pass on him. This is a deep draft fro running backs so the Panthers could use their second pick to get one.

Analysis: The departure of Stephon Gilmore could push cornerback to an early priority, along with safety. The Bills are still looking for a bookend right tackle. Malik will be able to come in and cover the middle of the field for the Bills. He will be the best safety they have had since Byrd. They have holes at wide receiver that can be addressed on Day 2 or even Day 3. BOTTOM LINE He's the ultimate lurker. His instincts are always bringing him to the football and when he gets there he has the ball skills to take it away. His lack of game experience and issues with tackle consistency will likely show themselves early in his career, but his ability to flip the field is worthy of an aggressive projection. He has the talent to be a high-impact starter for years in the NFL. (NFL Network)

Pick #11

11. O.J. Howard |TE| Alabama

Analysis: In a division full of talented quarterbacks, finding help at both cornerback and safety is a must. The Saints need depth at linebacker and could look for a hybrid talent there. The trade of Brandin Cooks has turned WR into a potential priority for the top 4 rounds. The Saints are in need of a red zone threat. This past season, Drew Brees passed for another 5000+ yards between the twenties, but once he was in the red zone he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a go to target. O.J. Howard is a stretch for the Saints to draft in the first round, but with his talent, he could be a huge asset for them. Last season the Saints lost 7 games by 7 points or less. A red zone threat last season could be the difference in a 14-2 season vs a 7-9 season.

With their first pick, the Browns get the best available pick and the best pass rusher in the draft. Here with their second pick they fill that huge need a quarterback. Mitch impressed during his pro day and showed his accuracy within twenty yards. There are some questions of his arm strength. SOURCES TELL US "There are times he looks like another Carson Wentz and then there are times he looks like Blaine Gabbert. He has starting qualities and he'll go early, but he better get better at seeing blitzes and throwing hot or he'll get eaten alive by the exotic packages they are throwing at quarterbacks these days." -- Area scout for AFC team (NFL Network)

Carson Palmer, 37, saw his play take a downturn in 2016. The Cardinals already needed corner help, and the departure of Tony Jefferson creates a need at safety.

Has Pro Bowl potential as a 3-4 inside linebacker or a 4-3 weak-side linebacker, but concerns over his medical history could be a consideration, according to some teams. (NFL Network)

Analysis: The Eagles dealt away a first-rounder to acquire the No. 2 overall pick in the 2016 draft, and got a first-rounder in the Sam Bradford deal before the season. Cornerback could be addressed within the first couple of rounds. Finding a healthy, RB might not be difficult in this draft, but how early do they pull the trigger? The Eagles need talent infusions at both defensive end and at linebacker, so take your pick there.

There are two things teams love -- ball production from cornerbacks and return men who can play meaningful snaps on every down. Jackson fits those criteria. His lack of size and length are concerns, but he has the athleticism to step right in as a slot corner on the next level. His combination of coverage and return talent could make him an early impact player. (NFL Network)

Pick #15

2016 record: 8-8 (.492) Top needs: OL, DL, RB 15. Demarcus Walker |DE| Florida State Analysis: The Colts have needs up and down their roster and new GM Chris Ballard has stated that he wants to build the fronts, so look for help along both the offensive and defensive lines. The Colts should be able to find quality RB depth on the third day (Rounds 4-7). BOTTOM LINE Walker's sack totals are impressive, but he's not the type of "early win" sack artist that generally post those types of numbers. He's a base end with power to hold up at the point, but better suited to reduce inside as interior rusher on passing downs. Walker lacks the desired size and physical traits teams look for off the edge; a move to three-technique isn't out of the question. (NFL Network)

By: Coach Andy Bryson

I have had the pleasure of meeting some of the best coaches and players in the country in the past three years since starting Louisiana Gridiron Football, LGF. I started this company because I wanted to show how talented the guys are from Louisiana. When I was at SLU, no one was covering the team, even when they went deep into the playoffs and after winning the conference championship in over 30 years. I began my college coaching experience at LSU while interning for Sam Nader (Director of LSU Football Operations) and Brick Hayley (Defensive Line Coach). So I have experienced the whole tailgating and LSU game day experience. But when I started going to La Tech

2017 Reese's Senior Bowl

games in 2014 (first year of LGF), I quickly learned that LSU has nothing on the game day experience at La Tech. True, LSU is bigger, but I would argue that La Tech’s is better. This is just my humble opinion of course. I first met Trent Taylor in 2014 after the Western Kentucky game after he caught nine receptions for 113 yards and three touchdowns on November first. He didn't catch my eye because he was so big and fast, no it was quite the opposite. He is 5 foot 8 inches and is fast. But what really caught my eye was his courage and fearlessness to go across the middle of the field, knowing that he was going to get hit and make a catch for his team. Since then, I have interviewed Trent a few times and have gotten to know him a little more. One thing that strikes me about his post game conferences is that he never says “I.” No “I” did this so we could win, no, he always talks about his teammates and refers to how good each of them were doing. This humility will serve him well wherever his life takes him. It is also a testament to how good the program is at Tech for keeping the players grounded. Through my experiences interviewing him, I have learned that Trent and I are a lot alike. We both were underdogs. Trent was and underdog because he only had one scholarship offer and that was to La Tech. Now he has made those other schools pay for sleeping on him. Trent is now the second in school history in All-Time receiving yards, and 17th All-Time in the NCAA with 4,179 yards in a career. This past season, Trent lead the nation in receiving yards and became 7th All-Time in the most receiving yards in a season in the NCAA and 3rd most in the conference with 1,803 only behind fellow alumni Troy Edwards and Marshals Randy Moss. During the recent NFL combine Trent showed some good numbers ranking at a 5.18. He ran a 4.63 40-yard dash which is not very fast for a wide receiver, but he was the fastest in his group of wide receivers (about 30 guys) for the 20yard shuttle and 60-yard shuttle. This is exciting to me because it shows that he thrives in the atmosphere of competition and has levels of speed that haven’t been measured when competing on the field. His 33 inch vertical jump demonstrates he has a very good twitch muscle which allows him a very fast take off on the line of scrimmage. Also his 13 reps with the bench press (225 lbs) shows that he is strong and well conditioned for his size. All in all I was actually very impressed with his combine performance.

www.LouisianaGridironFootball.com

How and when did you get into playing football? Been playing football for as long as I can remember. It's always been what I love to do. Why did you decide to play at Louisiana Tech? Louisiana Tech was my single scholarship offer coming out of high school so the recruiting process was an easy one for me. You had an impressive career at LaTech, who do you attribute that to? I attribute that to the friends and family I have around me. There's so many people in my life that look out for me and pray for me on a daily basis and I wouldn't be here without them and God's favor over me. Did you like playing at LaTech? If so, what would be some advice you would give to future recruits? Choosing Louisiana Tech was the best decision I could have made to help me reach my goals. I know so many great athletes that get caught up in the hype of a bigger school and just get lost in the shuffle. So, I couldn't have asked for a better place to be to get me to where I'm at today. What has it like to prepare for the draft? The pre-draft process with the senior bowl and the combine, it feels like you're just a piece of meat in a meat market, going through a million measurements and tests; physical and psychological. It's been a great experience but I'm glad it's about over so we can get back to playing football. What has the draft process been like? The draft process has a lot of unknowns to it. I've heard from many of my buddies that the teams that talk to you the least end up being the ones that draft you. So I'm trying not to get my mind set on certain teams, just going to control what I can control and keep working. What are your goals now that you are preparing to get drafted? I don't necessarily have goals at this point before the draft. All I can do now is continue to get my body in the best shape possible and wait for that phone call on draft day. www.LouisianaGridironFootball.com

My prediction after talking to several NFL scouts is that Trent will most likely be a late round pick solely from his production in college. There are huge question marks about him since he has a short frame and short arms. He also does not posses elite speed that NFL teams like. What he does have is heart and desire, the two things that cannot be coached. He is a natural playmaker and he has the ability to make guys miss. He is your go to man when you need short yardage and has great hands. His humility and teamwork abilities will greatly improve the production of any team that drafts him. I think that whoever drafts Taylor, will be getting a genuine gem in the late rounds. I have been told that he is a lot like Wes Welker. Teams I think he would absolutely thrive with are the New England Patriots, Oakland Raiders, and the Green Bay Packers. These teams have quarterbacks with tremendous accuracy and all use their slot receivers frequently. His quick reaction times and deep competitive nature make him an aggressive player and a good fit for the National Football League in general. Overall, Trent will be missed this season both in the locker room and on the field for the Bulldogs. However Tech fans will not be left with out exciting football. Tech has proven over and over that they have a great program. Tech did a good job of recruiting in the past couple of years and there are a lot of guys that are hungry to fight and fill the vacated positions from Carols Henderson and Trent Taylor.

SOURCES TELL US "Most athletic offensive lineman I've done since I took over this area of the country. He's also mean on the field, which you love.

His awareness and play traits should keep him near the action and he has the talent to step into a starting base end spot right away. There could be coordinators who view him as an early down, outside backer in a 3-4 with the ability to put his hand in the ground on sub packages. (NFL Network)

Pick #25 25. Ethan Pocic

|OL| LSU

2016 record: 9-7 (.502) Top needs: QB, OL, LB

Analysis: The Texans must find "the guy" at the quarterback position. It is almost certain that they will draft a QB this year. They have glaring needs at both right guard and right tackle. Finding a speedy ILB with cover talent is a need. The versatile offensive lineman Pocic can fill a need along the offensive line. Pocic played all five positions along the line while at LSU. He fills a need here at number 25 and can help build a line to protect whomever they get for Quarterback. BOTTOM LINE Flexible, natural athlete with starting experience all along the LSU offensive line. Scouts say Pocic has the intelligence teams look for from a center and is highly regarded by LSU coaches and teammates in the locker room. Pocic is an excellent "work-up" blocker with the ability to thrive in a running game that operates in space, but his lack of power will produce some extremely challenging matchups for him at times.

BOTTOM LINE Long-limbed left tackle who has the physical traits that teams want from their blind-side protector, but who is missing some of the body control and balance that is needed to succeed at his position. Despite his balance inconsistencies, Johnson can be a powerful run blocker when he gets defenders framed up. Teams will have to decide if they want to play him on the left or right side, but an offensive line coach will need to try and correct issues with his pass sets and his footwork before he

Ross is an instant-impact weapon who scored 23 touchdowns in just 112 touches. He should be able to step right in as a kick returner and a slot receiver, but teams with speed at tight end might utilize him outside to create extreme vertical stress on opposing safeties. If his knees check out as healthy, Ross is a likely first-round pick with the rare ability to become a high-volume slot receiver or a lesser-targeted, high-yield deep -ball threat. (NFL Network)

His hands can be improved as pass rush weapons, but he has agility and footwork that can't be taught. Harris can play on the edge in a 4-3 or 3-4 front and should be the next in a line of early contributing defensive ends coming out of Missouri. (NFL Network)

2016 record: 10-6 (.508) Top needs: CB, pass rusher, RB

29. Dalvin Cook |RB| Florida State Analysis: The Packers were a disaster at cornerback. They will likely draft more than one CB this year. Finding an edge rusher could be an early round consideration. Ty Montgomery did a nice job at RB last season, but they need to add to that position. I have the Packers picking Cook here to be their next back. I think he is every bit as talented as Elliot was coming out of school last year. BOTTOM LINE Very talented runner with outstanding balance, footwork and burst. Cook lacks the power that you may find with some running backs in this year's draft, but he is a homerun hitter with a resume featuring monster games against his most highly regarded opponents. Cook creates for himself with elusiveness and speed, but his value could be diminished by injuries, character and issues in pass protection. If everything checks out, he could become a rookie of the year candidate right away. (NFL Network)

Pick #31 31. Taco Charlton |DE| Michigan Analysis: A starting right guard could be a "now" priority for the Falcons. If Atlanta wants to continue to build on a foundation of talent, it needs to keep finding pass rushers. They need depth at DT, but the addition of Dontari Poe (even for a year) could allow them to target secondary depth in middle rounds. Taco is a good fit here as a pass rusher for the Falcons.

BOTTOM LINE "Inconsistent" has been the buzzword that has followed Charlton since coming to Michigan, but he began the process of shaking it during his senior season. Charlton is an ascending prospect with the size, length, athleticism and pass-rushing potential that NFL general managers dream of. What you see today might not be what you get. While his production coming out of college will be modest, he could become a substantially better player as a pro if he's committed to the weight room and willing to absorb coaching. High-impact defensive end with all-pro potential is his ceiling. His floor is solid starter. (NFL Network)

Pick #32

32. Sidney Jones |CB| Washington

Analysis: After going Tight End with their first pick, the Saints will turn their attention to the defensive side and draft a corner here. There is also a possibility of the Saints drafting a quarterback here as well.

2016 record: 7-9 (.523) Top needs: DB, LB, WR

Saints (from New England Patriots) 2016 Draft Class

With these two picks with Howard and Jones, the Saints actually fill four positions. Howard fills the hole for a wide out and tight end, while Jones fills the hole for a corner and a returner. Sidney had a very impressive workout at the combine with a 4.4 40 and a 33.5 inch vertical.

"I think he picked up all of (Marcus) Peters' good traits as a player without the personality defects. He marries that great FBI (football intelligence) with an explosive close-out and that will win in the pros just like it wins in college. You will always wish he was 198 pounds, but he won't be." -- NFC East regional scout
