Try telling a barbell athlete not to use a barbell 😂. I really appreciated the emphasis this course put on making smaller changes to form and programming in the presence of injury, BEFORE larger modifications to the movement or removing it completely.

Sometimes we can modify programming to allow for some relative rest throughout the week while still being able to workout using the same exercises. Other times, small changes in positioning could help (eg. Try a wider stance or more toe out during a back squat if you are getting anterior hip pain at depth).

It's not always that simple but, wherever possible, we try to keep athletes doing what they love in one form or another while they rehab.

Simple to do, and they hit on a lot of key areas. I like to tac these on to the start/end of a workout or even as an early part of a pre game warmup. Most importantly though, just find some regular, consistent times to get work like this done so your body continues to move well and stays game fit!

Thanks to my teammates for being exercise models! Those jerseys 👌.

Mobilizations with movement are manual therapy techniques that have a solid amount of positive research behind them.

In keeping with treatment trends, treatment in the clinic is great, but works best in combination with a consistent home exercise program.

These are three of my favorite home exercise versions of mobilizations with movement for the neck. I prefer to use a heavy band to apply the mobilization but it could be something like a towel as well. The pressure applied should be in a location and direction that significantly improves pain levels and allows for greater range. If it doesn't, it is not worth pushing through.

If you have mechanical neck pain and stiffness with certain movements, these may be worth a try!
