Just about everyone knows the Dead Bug, but not everyone does it well.
This foundational corrective exercise is incredible for restoring diaphragmatic breathing, activating your core, and prepping your body for stronger, more efficient movement through the functional slings that cross the body.

But here’s the truth: the Dead Bug is frequently butchered.
The most common mistakes?
❌ Poor bracing through the core
❌ Hips and shoulders shifting or lifting
❌ Ribs flaring and low back arching

All of these errors take away from the purpose of the movement.

Want to progress it? Try leveling up with:
🔥 Dead Bug Pullover
🔥 Dead Bug Chest Press
🔥 Dead Bug Psoas March
Each variation boosts challenge, tension, and control.

Patient Recovery Story: Jim’s Relentless Comeback

On October 1st, 2023, Jim’s life took an unexpected turn. A lifelong athlete, CrossFit coach, and someone known for his peak physical conditioning, Jim was diagnosed with COVID. What followed was a battle few could imagine.

Jim spent five weeks at Wi******er Hospital in Massachusetts, fighting to stabilize. He was then transferred to Beth Israel Hospital, where he remained until December 8th, 2023. His strength, once his trademark, was stripped away—he lost 40 pounds, dropping from 180 to 140 lbs. From Beth Israel he was admitted to Encompass Rehab for a week and was finally discharged home on December 15th, 2023.

The road ahead was steep.

Beginning with in-home rehab, Jim slowly reclaimed movement and confidence. When he was strong enough, he transitioned to Planet Fitness, then progressed to open gym sessions, rebuilding from the ground up. By December 2024, he pushed himself back into CrossFit paired with open gym, determined to return to the lifestyle he loved.

That’s when Jim partnered with MovementPRO—looking to address the injuries, imbalances, and physical setbacks accumulated through months of illness, deconditioning, and rebuilding.

Since joining MovementPRO, Jim has shown exactly what makes an athlete truly elite:
hard work, consistency, intensity, and unwavering dedication.

His journey is far from over—but every rep, every session, every step forward proves the same thing:

Jim isn’t just returning to who he was… he’s becoming stronger than before.

MovementPRO is honored to be part of his comeback.

Corrective Exercises Everyone Does Wrong: Bird Dogs

The Bird Dog is one of the most popular core-stability exercises—but most people miss the entire point of it. Instead of building true spinal control, the typical version ends up reinforcing the same compensations that lead to low-back pain in the first place.

At MovementPRO, we use Bird Dogs not as a “stretch” or a “rehab warm-up,” but as a high-quality motor control drill to teach the spine how to stay stable while the hips and shoulders move independently.

Here’s where people go wrong—and how to do it right

Common Mistakes We See Every Day

❌ Over-arching the low back

❌ Rotating the pelvis or shoulders

❌ Kicking the leg up vs. reaching long

❌ Rushing the reps

❌ Looking up and collapsing the neck

How to Do Bird Dogs Correctly

✔ Start in a neutral spine

✔ Reach long, not high

✔ Move slow and breathe

✔ Keep the pelvis level

MovementPRO Bird Dog Progressions

These are clinical-to-performance progressions we use with patients and athletes to build bulletproof spinal stability:

1️⃣ Drop Catch Row

2️⃣ Bird Dog Row

3️⃣ Bird Dog Lat Pd

At MovementPRO, we help active adults fix back pain without unnecessary pain meds, injections, or surgery, and definitely without giving up on the gym! Want to learn more? Download your FREE Ebook at www.movementpropt.com

There are no quick fixes. Resting alone often prolongs shoulder discomfort. Early, controlled movement + targeted interventions + strength-based progression is the recipe that helps people get back to training. Try these three practical steps:
1) Gentle scapular and range-of-motion work to restore control.

2) Targeted neuromodulation like dry needling and Stimpod to calm guarding and improve activation.

3) Progressive strength work for rotator cuff and scapular stabilizers.

MovementPRO blends therapy with performance to help active adults move better and train stronger.

Share this with a training partner or ask how these approaches fit into a plan.

💪 Sometimes the day just calls for some Concentric Emphasis Strength Training 👍

Benefits:

✅Decreased stress on the joints (decreased muscle and tendon strain)
✅Increased Power Output (think fast and explosive)
✅Quicker Recovery (less muscle damage = less soreness)
✅Safer way to build strength when recovery is low (maintain better form)
