Do you have chronic and recurring pain? Or do you have an injury that keeps coming back? Oftentimes that is being driven by the inability to ground or load into one or both sides of your body. When you are missing these components, it is usually just a matter of time before tissue, somewhere in the chain becomes compromised and an injury or pain can occur.

Based on testing in our clinic it was discovered that I have loss of grounding into the right side.

We came up with this technique/variation in order to promote more truthful right grounding sense to resolve my knee pain during controlled dynamic loading while working out in the gym.

After this variation when I superset this with a traditional two-legged leg press, I definitely had more power through my hips and core without knee pain.

If you feel like you need further insight as to how to help yourself heal, move better, and enjoy the things you love. Love, please reach out to us. We are happy to assess you and give you guidance on how you can sprinkle these things into your world.

So cool to see athletes reaching their goals! Baseball I have learned over the years is intense. The season is long, the games are many, the intense focus while being relaxed is always needed. The constant travel and adapting to new environments is real.
We love to give these athletes things that they can take with them and hopefully use well beyond their time at Synergy. Our goal is for them to optimize their movement strategies, so they can move freely and efficiently with clear focus.
Excited to see one in the World Series!

Keep on doing what they love.... for
as long as they can

Variations in the gym to train functional movement for multi-directional athletes. Since it's baseball playoff time, I thought I would add something that's relevant to that sport. But this is very relevant to any sport where you are changing directions. It is training the integration of pelvis and abdominal wall to move with efficiency and without compensation. These concepts will improve movement strategies as well as the goal of minimizing injury during sport.

Are you a volleyball player who struggles with low back tightness and or challenge in feeling glutes to activate in your sport or in the gym?

Oftentimes, it is the rib cage position that is creating the above situation. Here. We are teaching this athlete to sense the resistance of the band in order to retract her rib cage back over her pelvis.

We are using the ball to put her in a partial lunge with support in order for her to more focus on the upper half of her body.

She is using proper diaphragmatic breathing within this neck to assist getting the rib cage back and to promote neck relaxation.

We know she nailed it when she felt her front glute activating well, her back felt great, and she could feel her core assisting to stack the rib cage over the pelvis.

Now let's go play some ball and move well without the back or neck getting involved.

Do you feel like you are doing everything that you can to prepare for your sport? Whether it's training or competition? Maybe something is missing?

This is an example of a technique that is giving this athlete improved ground sense, power, adaptability to move, and improved reaction to situations within her sport.

A bonus is that fortunately we will never know the injuries that it is helping prevent.

If you are an athlete in search of a more holistic and integrated approach to movement, performance, and a better chance of a long and healthy career, feel free to reach out to us
