*MOVEMENT IS MEDICINE* . Powerful words from my @lululemon shirt . In a time where far too many pills and injections are being prescribed, we need to think about how movement can also be used for pain relief. ... . Safe movements provide pain relief. Don’t be afraid to move if you are in pain! It’ll actually give you relief .

Great post by @pulsephysioptbo . KNEES > TOES . Just in case you forgot, it’s still safe (and can even be helpful) to drive your knees over your toes during lifting, sports & life!... . If you block your knees from crossing your toes, it will tend to either limit depth in your squat (1st video) or put you off balance & dumped through your low back (2nd video). . Schoenfeld (2010) demonstrated that by blocking the knees from crossing the toes, you knee torque by 22% . The downside was that blocking the knees also torque at the hips & low back by 1070%... I’ll take the 22% on the knees! . Squatting with the knees > toes is not only safe, but it also can increase efficiency (3rd video) by promoting a more vertical squat . . In some instances, knees over the toes causes pain. In these cases, altering mechanics temporarily may allow someone to continue strengthening with less knee pain, which is great! . If knees > toes isn’t for you, another option is to simply externally rotate your legs (toes-out), which will allow you to get to depth without your knees crossing your toes .
