Posted @withregram @advantagesportmedyeg Hips Don’t Lie || ft. @shakira Mobility drills are a great way to maintain tissue health in the midst of balancing work, home and training life. These exercises are quick and simple drills to give you a quick, short-term relief with feelings of hip tightness. **disclaimer: these exercises will not help you move like Shakira. [1] Downward Facing Frog Hands places firmly on the ground. Knees apart. Feet together. Slow...ly lower your towards your heels. Hold for 3-5 seconds to deepen the stretch. Repeast [2] Deep side lunge Hands places firmly on the ground. One knee is placed on the ground, the other leg is extended to the side. Slowly lower your towards your heels. Hold for 3-5 seconds. Try out different angles with your knee and extend leg to change the stretch. [3] Butterfly Sitting tall with your back straight, feet together and hands on ankle. Drive your knees down towards the ground as you hinge forward from the hips, not the low back. Avoid rounding your lower back. Work hard.

How does K Tape help Swelling and Lymphatic Drainage? Kinesiology Tape companies claim that by microscopically lifting the skin circulation and lymphatic drainage can be increased to reduce swelling in injuries. There is some research to support the use of K Tape to reduce swelling in injuries. Acute injuries have an inflammatory period of about 48 hours making this window the ideal time to apply K tape if you are using it to reduce swelling.

#Repost @ultranat004 congratulations Natalie! Honoured to represent Canada and wear our maple leaf. My body may not be cooperating but I will dig as deep as I can to cover as many miles as I can. Ive done all I could to be rested and ready and recovered but this nagging injury has a different plan. Heartbroken yes but still very proud and want so badly to make Canada proud with a strong performance.

#Repost @advantagesportmedyeg with @make_repost Nordic Hamstring Curls - This exercise is a great eccentric hamstring exercise. It is often known for its difficulty and muscle soreness that it can cause, but it has been shown to have some significant strength benefits for hamstrings. Especially if you have a history of hamstring strains or are participating in a sport where hamstring injuries are common (like running or soccer), you may want to try including this in your strength program.
