12 Apr Short Foot Arch Lifts
The posterior tibialis is an extremely important muscle in your calf/foot that plays a huge role in SUPPORTING YOUR FOOT ARCH. The arch of your foot, simply put, is supported by PASSIVE and ACTIVE structures. The main active structure would be your posterior tibialis muscle....
12 Apr How The Foot/Ankle Effects The Hip And Vice-Versa
You know it and hear it all the time, but the body is a KINETIC CHAIN. Movement at one end of the chain affects the other. And more importantly dysfunctions, weaknesses, and asymmetries at one area in the body can have a devastating impact both...
12 Apr Bulletproof Shoulder Prehab Warm Up
Your warmup consists of light cardio work and stretching prior to movement…but don’t forget about priming your nervous system and muscles too! This is one of my favorite shoulder warmups, with inspiration taken from @drjohnrusin and @thebarbellphysio. I’ll break down the 3 parts of the...
12 Apr Multi-Directional Wall Slides With Slider
It's time to revisit the adage proximal stability promotes distal mobility. This should be a prehab prerequisite to any strenuous overhead exercise. Demonstrated here is a dynamic mobility and stability drill for anterior scapulae muscles. What good is all the mobility in the world if...
12 Apr Overhead Carries
From a functional whole body standpoint, any form of a loaded carry is always a go-to exercise for me. This is especially true for overhead carries - which are a great way to train proper shoulder muscle recruitment under heavy load. You need good lower...
12 Apr Sharapovas
Maria Sharapova, the former world #1 women’s tennis player has had quite the remarkable career. However, she has had to battle through a host of well documented shoulder injuries that hampered her career early on. Rumor has it that this exercise in particular helped REHAB...
12 Apr Eliminating Shoulder Shrugging with Shoulder EMG
In Episode 61 we introduced optimal mechanics during the full shoulder overhead motion. The glenohumeral joint aka the shoulder is so interesting because it demands chronologic, selective muscle recruitment. The trapezius muscles aka traps, activate at specific times with balanced force couples to help move...
12 Apr Proper Neck Position During The Overhead Press
This is the last barbell tip by @barbellrehab, who wants to remind you to avoid an excessive forward head posture during the press. We want to add that it’s just as important to avoid excessive cervical spine extension when performing deadlifts or squats! It’s okay...
12 Apr Knee Push Ups With Plank Progressions
Getting your knee straight after an ACL injury and ACLR surgery can be very challenging. One of the common limiting factors is the hamstrings. Soft tissue mobilization via someone else or using a foam roller typically works, however specific exercises can get the hamstrings to...
12 Apr The HamsSprint Drills For Hamstring Strain Prehab
“Proximal stability promotes distal mobility.” This adage holds true for every body region and the hamstrings are no exception. Neuromuscular control of the lumbopelvic region is absolutely imperative to all lower extremity biomechanics, especially to optimal hamstring function during normal sport activities. Improving performance of...
