Pain is both physical and emotional 100% of the time

The positioning allows you to incorporate core, glute and hamstring activation working on full body engagement and muscle sequencing.

For mobility to take place in any joint, there needs to be stability for your nervous system to allow the movement.

The hip hinge is a key element as studies have shown that peak contractions of this muscle occurred in positions of hip flexion.

Clinically, I’ve found dysfunction in this muscle to commonly be correlated with hip and or low back pain among other things.

It addresses the top range (short or end range) portion of a hamstring curl or knee flexion which is so often neglected.

Assessments performed by an RMT can help distinguish the source of the pain that you may be feeling instead of just addressing the symptoms.

Isometrics can be a great way to strengthen weaknesses throughout a range of motion in a movement.

The serratus anterior has traditionally been one of the most overlooked, yet important muscles for structural wellness.

To effectively stimulate and strengthen a muscle, you need to know its functions so that you can activate and load it appropriately.

Our hips/core region of the body is a central intersection that everything else connects with in some way shape or form.

For most, stretching is the afterthought of their exercise routines. You hear it all the time, “I just don’t stretch enough.”

I wanted to share a handful of some of my favorite stretches that would be easy enough for anyone to perform anywhere without any equipment.

The medial hamstrings in particular (Semitendinosus & Semimembranosus), usually being weaker than the lateral (outside) biceps femoris.

In nearly every ACL rupture case I’ve seen there has been a severe strength imbalance between the quadriceps and hamstrings muscles.

FST is a modified form of assisted PNF stretching that incorporates not just muscle, but joint capsules, nervous system tissues and fascia.

“Tight hip flexors,” are a common theme these days as we spend more time in positions where they are in a shortened state.

By Sofie Caap. Imagine if you made that new habit a little smaller then there is a good chance you would be doing it today.

There is no denying the importance of glute engagement for back and postural stabilization.
