💥Shoulder pain when rowing and pressing - focus on technique💥
✅Sometimes when you are experiencing shoulder pain, the focus needs to me on movement quality instead of just trying to increase the weight with your shoulder work
✅ A common issue is poor upper arm control, particularly in rowing exercises where the arm dumps forward instead of moving smoothly as the shoulder comes back in a row
✅ As part of your warm ups, follow the videos to start working on shoulder control in combination with your rehab work. Focus on not letting your shoulder roll too far forward when rowing and pressing - especially at lower weights
💥 If shoulder pain is something that keeps slowing you down, follow the page for more updates like this on exercise rehab 💪

💥Did you know training volume correlates significantly with injury chance?💥
✅Spikes in weekly training volume or returning back to lots of training after a prolonged break can lead to increased risk of injury
✅ If you are a runner, your smart watch that you use to track your data can be a great tool to help with managing injury risk
⌚️Looking at total distance covered per week, you will be able to see if you have had a spike in volume and whether this correlated to the onset of your injury
⌚️ You can also be proactive and use it as a guide to manage your training and ensure you are making sensible jumps each week, especially if you tend to get injured often

💥One of the most common issues with barbell athletes / participants - getting hip pain when getting towards the bottom of the squat
✅ A lot of the time, a big influencer on this is having poor hip mobility at the bottom of the squat - especially with hip flexion
➡️ What is hip flexion? It is the movement of bending your hip, like bringing your knee to your chest
❗️When you get to the bottom of your squat, that is the position your hip is in, deep hip flexion. If you don’t have the flexibility then it can lead to increased load and pressure on the front of the hip which can lead to pain
✅ The fix - improve your hip flexion. Here are two exercises to add into your training that work on improving flexibility and increasing the strength of the muscles that flex the hip 👌
✅ Even if you are someone that doesn’t experience pain but has poor hip flexibility, add this in and address it before it becomes an issue
💥 If you are someone that experiences this issue and just can’t seem to figure it out, send us a DM and we are happy to give you the right information to help you out 🤛

💥Can running style cause your Achilles pain - 👂 listen through💥
➡️ In terms or running, landing on the middle to front of your foot vs your heel doesn’t make you a better or worse runner. It can however influence how you use certain muscle groups a little bit more than others
➡️ If you land on the middle to front of your foot, you will put more weight through the Achilles. If you have a weak calf/ankle, this combination can be a factor in developing Achilles’ tendon issues
✅ If this is you, try these exercises designed to work on the strength and coordination between your calf muscle, ankle and foot
