If you have hip pain and reduced mobility with daily activities, this treatment may help! Ask your therapist to assess and you will be also provided with stretches and strengthening exercises to do at home. A stiff hip can lead to the body adapting to compensatory movements which could cause pain in other areas! .... . . . #hippain #hipmobility #traction #mobilization #belt #biomechanics #healthy #fitness #covid19 #exercise #workout #physiotherapy #rehabilitation #prehab #therapy #fisioterapia #strength #stretch #recovery #motivation #massagetherapy #wellness #pilates #diet #toronto #mississauga #etobicoke

If your neck is stiff when you rotate your head left or right (without pain associated), you can give this a try. In the photo, the person is aiming to increase RIGHT rotation. Start with the towel resting around your neck over your shoulders. Stabilize the end of the towel (right side) with LEFT hand then using the RIGHT hand, pull the towel on the left side across your face (like pictures). The direction of pull should be slightly upward and diagonal. The force should be ge...ntle and gradual until you feel a stretch or "pull". No pain should be experienced. Hold it for 10 seconds, 10 reps, a couple times a day. You can perform the opposite if you want to increase left rotation of the neck. *image was taken from HEP2GO #stiffneck #neckstretch #mobilization #selfmob #snag #cervical #stretching #healthy #fitness #covid19 #exercise #workout #physiotherapy #rehabilitation #prehab #therapy #fisioterapia #strength #stretch #recovery #motivation #massagetherapy #wellness #pilates #diet #toronto #mississauga #etobicoke

You may have seen these devices pop up more and more. If you prefer to get deep tissue massages and get relief from that aggressive treatment, then the massage gun might be very suitable. If you get aggravated with deep tissue massages and prefer a very gentle, light effleurage type of manual treatment then this wouldn't be a great option as it could make your pain worse. . .... . #massagegun #percussionmassage #deeptissue #relief #healthy #fitness #covid19 #exercise #workout #physiotherapy #rehabilitation #prehab #therapy #fisioterapia #strength #stretch #recovery #motivation #massagetherapy #wellness #pilates #diet #toronto #mississauga #etobicoke
