It’s all about the angles! 📐
For a safer, stronger yoga practice (and really any exercise activity!) it is important to take advantage of proper mechanics.

Chaturanga, or High to Low Plank, is a yoga push up called out by Vinyasa teachers every where again and again. But do you know how to do it with a mechanical advantage? 🧘

Here is what I cue:
1️⃣ Start with a STRONG high plank. Squeeze glutes and pull the tummy in tight
2️⃣ Rock forward onto tip toes to align shoulders over finger tips and elbows over wrists
3️⃣ Lower only half way. Going further puts a large strain at the front of the shoulder
4️⃣ Allow the elbows to angle slightly out from the body

Ready to learn more?? Come to FOUNDATIONAL FLOW *this* Saturday 10am.

An intentional slow flow focused on building strong movement foundations through proper alignment, breath control, and evidence-based mechanics

Slouching & letting your head hang forward all day can wreak havoc on the muscles of the neck working desperately trying to hold it up.

In particular, the SCM and the Upper Trap can become tight and tense, which can lead to headaches, jaw pain, difficulty sleeping, driving, chewing... all the stuff you need & love to do. 🤦‍♀️

While fixing your posture & strengthening your neck muscles is the *better* fix, let’s also give those tissues some love! They deserve it!

💆🏻 Self massage techniques for tight neck muscles:
1️⃣ SCM - Tilt the head toward one ear, then rotate head and look up the opposite direction. Grasp the small muscle that pops out at the front of the neck. Find a tender point and squeeze gently.
2️⃣ Upper Trap - Grab the big muscle sticking up between your neck and shoulder. Once you’re on a tender spot, lift your shoulder blade up and down, then tilt head away; effectively gliding the tight tissues underneath.

Active release techniques such as these can be *powerful* in reducing pain and improving mobility. So that you can

Overuse & Under stretching of the muscles that sit at the top of the forearm & work to extend the wrist can, over time, result in a condition called Tennis 🎾 Elbow, or Lateral Epicondylitis.

What do we do?
PREHAB. Address it before it becomes a problem! 💪

1️⃣ Grab a massage, tennis, or lacrosse ball
2️⃣ Place it on the top of the forearm
3️⃣ Apply pressure to a tender spot
4️⃣ MOST IMPORTANT PART: Then move the wrist up and down through flexion and extension, effectively gliding these tight, tired tissues actively against the pressure point to better relieve tension.

Try it out!

‼️ A tendon problem is usually ALSO a component of the tendon not being strong enough to do what you want it to do.
🎥 STAY TUNED for the next video on how to strengthen the wrist to fix the *root cause* of the problem.

Your body is the only you are guaranteed. Take care of it so that it lasts for the long haul. 💪 🚗

After a couple of PT sessions your pain is likely decreased, you’re feeling pretty good, and maybe already ready to get back to your fave activities.
🚨
This is exactly when you need to keep going back to PT.
🚨
While we might have addressed your pain, we have not yet addressed the *root* cause of your problem, be it muscle imbalance, poor technique, or over-use.

💪 For a permanent solution, we have to spend more time honing in on your functional capacity, mechanics, and exercise programming.
This takes TIME!

Which is why I follow a 3 step process to get you back to doing what you love.
1️⃣ Review
2️⃣ Restore
3️⃣ Refine

So we not only get you feeling better, we get you moving better. For the long term.

Ever tried dynamic cupping? Chances are you’ve seen the round bruises on athletes.

It’s a powerful modality I use all the time to help reduce pain and inflammation and improve range of motion all over the body.

Wonder what a session for treating neck pain looks like?
1️⃣ Identify the problem - tight muscles, weak muscles, misalignment… what is causing the pain?
2️⃣ Treat the problem - stretch, strengthen, correct utilizing soft tissue techniques and exercises
3️⃣ Put it to the test - did mobility improve? Strength? Did pain decrease? If not, why not?

Got a nagging pain that you keep thinking will go away but it hasn’t?
Trust Altus to ID the root cause and fix it. For good.
