12 Apr Eccentric Posterior Tibialis Step Down For Plantar Fasciitis
In part III of our plantar fasciitis series by @jfitboyd, we demonstrate a highly effective FUNCTIONAL exercise for developing eccentric posterior tibialis strength. Traditional strengthening with a theraband, into plantar flexion and inversion, is still a great exercise. But once adequate motor control/strength has developed,...

12 Apr Finding Stability On The Wall For Rock Climbers
This exercise challenges both your global and local lumbar stabilizers. The deep stabilizers like the multifidus contribute to stability by counteracting shear forces and preventing intervertebral motion. The multifidus supports the vertebral column through compressive forces while the transversus abdominis stabilizes it by increasing intra-abdominal...
12 Apr Scapular Circles For Back Strength And Climbers
Coordination and utilization of the proper musculature surrounding the shoulder complex are necessary to prevent injury to structures like the rotator cuff, biceps tendon, and labrum. When a climber rests in a "dead hang" position the scapula elevates and abducts while the glenohumeral joint is...
