Hip Extension, Variation Work on your Gluteus Maximus Keep the back straight throughout the movement by recruiting the core muscles.... We can place a rod on the back and maintain three points of contact with the rod: sacrum thoracic spine head Below: Lack of stability of the core muscles leads to extension of the lower back.

Lift Your Arm Higher! . There are typically two regions we can address to improve overhead reaching: the thoracic spine and the shoulder. When it comes to mob...ilizing each area, there are about a thousand and one ways to do so, but some of my favorite bang for your buck exercises are shown in these videos clips. . The goal is to be as comprehensive as possible, and hit just about every structure or region that can potentially limit your ability to get your arms overhead. This includes a lot of muscles like the lats and pecs, as well as doing our best to get our fascia moving and our brain allowing less restricted motion. . If performed as a warmup before going into your lifts, I would perform all the static stretching drills first. Then the more active ones like the end range overhead lift offs. And then finally some general cuff and shoulder activation drills before getting into lifting. . Give these a shot and let us know what you think ______________________________________________ . . . . . #Shoulder #shoulderpain #overheadpress #snatch #prehab #theprehabguys #TPG #fitness #healthandwellness #exercise #PT #DPT #DPTstudent #physio #physiotherapy #chiro #chiropractic #mobility #athlete #workout #recovery #rehab #prevention #rehabilitation #fitness #longevity #movement See more

Why do we perform ankle joint mobilizations with the band on the top of the foot rather than up higher on the lower leg? - If you look at the anatomy of the a...nkle, the talus bone of your foot connects with the larger tibia bone of your leg. During the movement of dorsiflexion (your foot moving towards your shin), the talus bone glides back or posterior on the tibia. - My patient Anna had a very stiff ankle after a recent ankle sprain in a soccer game. With the 5 inch wall test you can see comes up short on her left complaining of a blocked or pinch sensation in the front of the ankle limiting any more motion (this is common after ankle sprains). - Functionally, this restriction limited her ability to perform a deep single leg squat as you can see her left heel continues to pop off the box as her knee is unable to move forward past her toes like her right can. - Performing the banded joint mobilization with the band positioned on the top of the foot, assists the natural movement of the talus bone (moving posterior on the tibia) to improve ankle mobility. Placing the band higher on the tibia does not support this natural joint movement and would therefore would not be helpful in taking away this joint restriction. Usually I’d recommend performing 20 reps for a 5 second hold - If you’d like to learn more about improving ankle mobility, check out the blog article linked in my bio - Shout out to @anna.long for being today’s athlete model & to @3d4medical with the Complete Anatomy app for the visuals of the body ______________________________________ This is the 493rd #SquatUclub eligible post!!

Advanced & Brutal Bodyweight and Kettlebell Circuit That Will Level Up Your Fitness This is a challenging circuit as the exercises are somewhat advance...d with a prerequisite for quality movement in those patterns. It's also challenging on your lungs which you will see as soon as you're done with set #1 (if you choose to try it). Here's the circuit: 1 Spiderman Lunge into Windshield Wiper Push Up x 10 (5/side) 2 Rotational Clean/Rotational Press/Offset Squat/Cossack Squat Combo x 5 each/per side 3 Sit Outs x 10 (5/side) 4 1 Arm KB Row Hold x 20 sec/side 5 KB Dead Bug w/ Reach x 5/side 6 H2H Swings x 10 This is brutal as the set will take you somewhere between 4-5+ minutes per set. Rest for 120 seconds, or until your heart rate comes back under 130 beats per minute, and repeat for 3-5 rounds for a full workout.
