Here’s a MAJOR challenge and a way to test your hamstring strength side to side.

Start in a reverse plank on your elbows, lifting your hips up with straight legs. IF (and only if) you can do this, then try to lift one leg up.

⏱ Time yourself on one side.

⏱ Time yourself on the other side.

Are the times different? This would indicate you have weakness on one side over the other.

Can’t lift your leg at all? We should probably work on a little hamstring strength with you.

Again, this test is hard, but it’s a great one in revealing asymmetry in hamstring strength. Lots of folks will not be able to lift a leg—not a problem, but certainly an opportunity to work on some weakness.

Our background has CHANGED! 🏔️
We moved last month! While that changes nothing for the patients I treat, it does mean I have a new background for our video visits. Last month, my husband Bret and I moved from beautiful Duluth, MN to beautiful Colorado Springs. We hit the ground running (or climbing) by tackling Manitou Incline and the 2,768 stairs up the side of the mountain. We miss the lakes and people of Minnesota, but we’re excited to explore the mountains.

“I Never Stand on One Leg, so Why Are You Making Me?”

When it comes to assigning patients exercise, the Single Leg Stand is one I go to time and time again–I love making people balance on one leg. I have easy versions, hard versions, versions with eyes closed, versions with movement, etc. During our balance testing, if someone struggles with standing on one leg, they earn themselves this type of homework. Most of the time, it’s one leg that performs much worse than the other–this is especially true when people come to me with injury, pain, or weakness.

Big congratulations are in order for our patient, Wade–the tall guy on the left! Through a calf strain and hamstring issues, he rehabbed with us, and his team, “The Breakfast Klub,” came away with a huge win at the Twin Cities Gus Macker tournament earlier this month. Wade wasn’t sure he’d make it through the 5 games of basketball he needed to over the weekend, but he did! Congrats, Wade! We are proud of you.
