Tech Neck 🤕

We see a huge number of people suffering from neck pain which can be exacerbated from increased time on computers & phones. This factored in with increased frequency of working from home in an incorrect desk setup (which is essentially fuel on the fire).

This infographic (Hansraj et al, 2014) shows that once our head leaves a neutral position, the torque (force) through the neck dramatically increases.

A head is around 5kgs if the force is in a straight down in a neutral position. Forward head posture can skyrocket this load & be can the equivalent to 27kgs of force 🥴😮‍💨

Educating on desk set up, thoracic/CT mobility and neck stability can make a dramatic difference and improve symptoms long term.

Overhead Mobility 🏋🏼‍♀️

A key player of impingement and general shoulder pain can be the latissimus dorsi.

Achieving full overhead range is really important for many athletes. It’s vital for multiple movement patterns as well as general day to day life and potential working positions.

Tight lats can inhibit overhead range and can result in postural abnormalities such as rib flare and hyper extension.
Tightness pulls the humerus into an internally rotated position which can cause shoulder impingement and painful movements.

Releasing this area can be a game changer for shoulder pain. Restoring full range can improve lat engagement and thus create more effective loading/ performance in the gym

Injury Prevention 🤕

We’ve all have that ‘what if’ moment after an injury. Hindsight kicks in and we could’ve avoided it from happening, we remember those little reminders we ignored that something wasn’t quite right.

Once injured we cling to the "quick-fixes" to help get it resolved asap..

We look for the best possible solution to fix our injuries with the least amount of effort given. We expect some magic pill or a guru with hands of an angel to fix our issues, yet we never take the time and LEARN new prevention skills ourselves.

•Stretching before a workout is NOT prevention.
•Doing rotator cuff exercises or hip flexor stretches is NOT prevention.

Prevention requires an understanding that the harder you work in the gym, the greater the emphasis should be on RECOVERY and PREVENTION STRATEGIES.

Things we should all know:

•Learn how to mobilise every joint in your body independently and in sport specific positions (proprioception)
•Practice new movement patterns outside the training facility. If you want to squat better, squat frequently thought the day. If your hip hinge is poor, do this more often during the day.
•Practise Unilateral training especially on your non- dominant side
•Incorporate Isometrics into your routine

Ab wheel rollouts 🛞

Here is a snippet from the full educational video found where we cover all aspects of my favourite core stability exercise 🔑

I want this to regain the popularity and recognition it deserves within sports performance and the bodybuilding world.. we’ll cover how and why on another occasion.

The full video covers; the vital breath-work and bracing involved, common mistakes, progressions, regressions and how this movement can help to transform not only your physique but improve performance, mitigate the risk of injury and make you generally more resilient and just all round awesome 🤙🏼

Save this one for later and let me know if you have any questions. The full length video plus all my other in depth rehab and training videos can all be reached via an membership.

Investing in yourself 🫡

Best case scenario is to see clients when they are pain free.
Allowing us to get on top of any mobility restrictions or stability issues before they become problematic.

Unfortunately most of us seek assistance once we encounter a problem, instead of preventing one.

Getting booked in even 3/4 times a year for a once over, getting the green light for training/specific movements as well as some homework for mobility or rehab exercises that would be beneficial for all of us 🥲

Drop me a message if you have any questions and ill be happy to help 😄👌🏼

Awesome final session with Shane Flowers before he flys to San Fran for the SBD World’s Strongest Man 🌐

He’s in absolutely phenomenal condition going into this comp. Every box ticked and his body and CNS is still recovering from this heavy training block.. in a few days the recovery and super compensation will result in a frighteningly strong athlete.

A really fun session and a huge thanks to Adam Joyce for capturing and creating this gem 💎🎥

Healthy shoulder function is far from just rotator cuff strength.. 🏋🏽‍♂️🤸🏼‍♂️

1️⃣ The thoracic spine plays a vital role in healthy shoulders. Movements which tend to cause shoulder pain are often at end range.. e.g. overhead press, pull ups/pulldowns, horizontal pressing and pulling. Having adequate Tx extension & rotation will allow adequate movement mechanics of the scapulothoracic joint 👇🏼

2️⃣ The scapula in simple terms must be a strong & stable joint. Strong serratus anterior, trapezius etc. In many people this joint is historically weak & mobile than strong & stable. To maintain a subacromial space in an overhead position the scapula must upwardly rotate and anteriorly tilt. Correct scapulohumeral rhythm is vital to healthy shoulders.

3️⃣ Lastly it is important to have stability in all planes of the rotator cuff. Often people will look directly at this and avoid the last 2 points. Once the thoracic & scapula have been addressed then we can look here. External rotation should be roughly 75% the strength of internal rotation. These should be strong in both planes of abduction and horizontally rotation.

The Triceps & Shoulder Pain 💥

“Triceps are the hamstring of the upper body” - both muscles are found posterior to a ball and socket joint. Both playing an integral role in joint stability.

When shoulder injuries occur we often look straight to the rotator cuff, the scapula or the thoracic spine (mostly the first one by the masses) 🥴

The triceps play an important role in shoulder stability - particularly the long head which attaches to the scapula. This muscle assists with extension and adduction of the shoulder joint… as well as elbow extension 💪🏼

In simple terms, weakness in the long head of the triceps can create poor positioning of the scapula resulting shoulder pain, limited range of motion and as a result surrounding tissue may compensate creating a systematic problem 🤕

The following exercise is great at isolating long head of triceps and is a great way to isolate and actually target the contractile tissue, opposed to just shifting weight. The attachments are unbelievable for all tricep movements, but duel ropes or single arm cables will also work nicely 👌🏼

Tight lats 🏋️

The lats play a huge role in shoulder function and health.

They often become tight and stiff after injury, a lack of stretching/mobility and commonly repetitive lat overuse/overdevelopment.

Poor lat mobility can limit your ability to achieve an optimal overhead position… whether thats pushing or pulling 💪🏼

Manual release of the lats using a variety of techniques can work wonders in achieving health functioning shoulders as well as the ability to engage this tricky muscle correctly 👌🏼

Big meaty set of lats on the big man TeamGB para Canoeist 💪🏼

Seated hamstring curl 👑

One of my favourite exercises which isolates them perfectly 🤩 hamstrings play a vital role in knee stability as well as athletic performance. From a physique perspective, nobody can ever have too big a set of hams 😂

- This exercise allows for well directed force with complete isolation (tiny bit of calves)
- The movement takes you from your strongest position to your weakest 👌🏼
- It allows for effective progressive overload.. as well as partnered forced reps, drop sets, clusters etc.

RDLs are great and a good addition. However…
- The glutes play a massive part in hip extension
- The short head of biceps femoris isn’t recruited during hip flexion/extension
- CNS fatigue can be taxing as well as lower back/erector recruitment
- Poor movement mechanics/effective bracing can lead to lower back injuries… i see this all the time from RDL’s and conventional deadlifts 💥

Not hating on RDL’s at all, just some perspective to apply overload elsewhere. Especially if form is compromised or training whilst fatigued in prep

Lat Release ☑️

Precision > Force

Tight lats can uncomfortable and problematic. They inhibit overhead pressing mobility, can cause poor movement patterns and lead to shoulder pain.

This release always works incredibly well, it can be a touch uncomfortable but as the tissue eases off the results are outstanding 😁👊🏼 working both actively and passively allows the client to work within their capabilities and restore pain free range based on what they feel

was a really brave boy here and noticed an immediate improvement 😏

Ninja Flow 🥢

This ninja flow movement feels incredible after a long week of clients and training.

This helps to mobilise the thoracic, shoulder complex, chest, adductors to name a few..

Movement is medicine 🤤😁

Thoracic Rotation💥

Are you dealing with neck or lower back pain? The thoracic/mid spine brings it all together. A lack of thoracic spine mobility can cause neck, back as well as shoulder issues. This really simple side lying rotation helps to unlock your mid spine. Lock in the lumbar with your free arm, inhale and deeply exhale as you rotate… force all the air out of your lungs and let the shoulder sink towards the ground (dont force it). You also get a nice stretch through the pec 😁

Great for those still working from home, any desk workers or rotational athletes like golfers 🏌️

Quad work with big clients 🦾

Working with big lads with quadzilla thighs like can be pretty tough (mechanically) to apply adequate pressure into the right areas, implementing the right techniques is really key...

This soft tissue release works really well, combined with some dry needling we got an immediate improvement in range, pain and recovery 🤌🏼
