ABMP Recognized for Top Publications

The 42nd Annual EXCEL Awards were celebrated on June 22, 2022. SIIA’s EXCEL Awards is the largest and most prestigious program recognizing excellence and leadership in association media, publishing, marketing, and communication.

ABMP was recognized for some of our top publications and educational offerings:

SILVER Best Podcast – (Single Episode) (Education)

The psoas is a lot like an old man who likes his solitude and scares those who pass his cabin in the woods. But with a little patience and finesse, the fear will ease—and the old man will have a new kick in his step.

SILVER Best Video – Single Entry (Education)

Join Dr. Joe Muscolino for a comprehensive course on assessing and treating two common repetitive-use conditions: tennis elbow (also known as lateral elbow tendinopathy, lateral epicondylitis, and lateral epicondylosis) and golfer’s elbow (also known as medial elbow tendinopathy, medial epicondylitis, and medial epicondylosis). Learn the possible causes, participating anatomy, assessment tools, massage techniques, and stretching protocols for each of these challenging pathologies. Discover how these conditions are caused by not only the actions used in these sports, but everyday actions like gripping objects, opening doors, and using a mouse. This course is free for ABMP members and available to purchase for nonmembers.
