3 Exercises

The majority of movement restrictions can be traced back to one or more of these three , I have some drills that I commonly use with my supreme clientele to get them moving and feeling better. Here we go!Problem 1) Limited Rotation - All movements have an element of rotation, so if you can’t rotate, listen up! Loss of rotion happens when large muscles on the front and back of the body get tight. Solution 1) Use side lying positions with rotation. This takes advantage of gravity to expand the front and back of the body to get these large muscles to relax. Problem 2) Limited Squat Depth - Squat depth is often limited by too much arching of the lower back or widening the stance in order to get past parallel. But, these strategies ultimately limit overall motion. Solution 2) Wall squatting with proper foot, knee, and hip alignment. The leg positions helps get all the joints of the leg to move the right way. The wall provides feedback and allows squat depth to be improved without arching the back 3) Limited Overhead Mobility - When most people reach overhead, they tend to arch through their spine excessively. This ultimately locks up the shoulders, upper back, and 3) Inverted hanging allows for gravity to help expand the upper ribcage. Rotation of the neck in this positions gets the upper back, shoulders, and neck moving like they should!Try out these exercises to improve the most common movement limitations! #physicaltherapist #physicaltherapists #strengthcoach
