Hamstrings can be a tough injury, especially, when there are multiple imbalances present (including control). When she first came in, the leg wouldn’t even go into extension (couldn’t take the leg behind her). In the second session, there was no issue doing so. Here is our third session and progress keeps continuing. Just because we’re able to diminish or eliminate pain, doesn’t mean someone is ready for full out sport just yet. But we also don’t want to limit the athlete with mundane, single muscle work, and no consideration of synergistic systems. We want to look at the whole and how each is interacting or not before proceeding.

Neck pain is rarely just in the neck. I usually find that the major muscle groups around the thorax to be linked. Even, all the way down that the hips! Some clients are twisted to one direction or another, compressed laterally (side to side), over flexed in the front or extended and even a combination. All this puts pressure on the neck muscles. So, when someone comes in with neck pain….i never look at the neck first. I check ranges of motion, posture, gait, breathing pattern…and more to not only help them get out of pain, but to also help with the constant compensations that may be linked to their pain as well.

Today, I hope you can take some time to acknowledge someone who came before us (for me anyway…some of you lived while he was here). A man rooted in the foundations of love through Christ and lived it completely!

What a mission he was on! What ground breaking thing he accomplished! And, all of it without violence. Just love. Thank you Dr. King for showing others how to walk in the Word, to fight for justice, and to do it all in the name of love. Thank God for your existence.

What happens when you have high arches that never really get a chance to pronate (turn in, flatten arch and absorb ground forces)? Well, in this case, it’s hip discomfort. However, I’ve seen it cause medial knee back, back pain and even groin pain and stiffness. The other thing that happens, is that the foot becomes narrower, which could also affect balance. That why I had her stand on the pvc, to force the foot to splay out (she felt an immediate difference right after, when I had her walk around. It’s a cheap option, if you have this issue (I was using a 4” wide by 12” long pvc pipe). Once the foot is able to plantar flex (point the foot down and arch drop ( the entire chain relaxes, as force is better absorbed through the system). Invest in your feet and your body will thank you!!

This variation add a spin on the regular back extension and adds in rotation and eccentric control. This is great for not only the muscles on the back side, but the timing of the core as well. Be prepared to feel the burn on this one!

Here’s an option of a psoas stretch, but also an activation of you need that as well. Most of the time, people stretch psoas in a lunge position…here, I feel like I really get specific to the muscle and can feel it both on the stretch and also the activation. Give each a go or maybe don’t both the same. As I mentioned, always try a test retest and see what works best for each leg and go from there. Start light and ramp up as you go!

These days, I tend to add rotation to everything!! Not kidding! As a result, my movement and range of motion has been better than it’s ever been! You have to remember, that the body doesn’t know what exercise you’re doing, it only knows to try and adapt to what you’re giving it. So, the more I rotate, in different angles and ranges, the more my body will give me those ranges, especially if you strengthen them. The body will give you what you want, and it’s usually what you do most! Sit a lot, then you get stiff short muscles. You stand a lot, tight calves, mid back (depending on posture), move a lot and explore movement a lot, well, then you get more movement!

Client came in with back pain, with pain in flexion (bending forward). After we did this series however, he felt much better. His sacrum was “stuck”. All the surrounding tissues were stiff and not moving, so things tend to get looser around the spine! Not good!Once we were able to create the space he needed and add some activation and a few retests, he was good to go!

Open up those glutes and relax that pelvic floor! It seems like today, we’re always wanting to get our glutes stronger and stronger and in the process, tightening the pelvic floor as well. Well, give this stretch a try! It’ll create space in the glute and help the posterior fibers of the pelvic floor open up as well. You’ll even get some hamstring and spinal erectors (if you do the head push back) too!

Pitchers tend to get elbow pain quite often and the usual thing they tend to be told is the dreaded Tommy John Surgery. The problem is, most pitchers don’t even need the surgery. Many times, it’s the muscles and fascial restrictions all around the elbow that are causing the issue. Mechanics and intent are also factors contributing to the pain. I’ve seen time and time again, we are able to loosen up areas, create stability in others and clean up mechanics and not only does elbow pain go away, they tend to throw harder on top of it! Surgery should be a last resort, not one of the first things recommended.

Rotation is in all your movements! Whether it’s micro or macro, it’s all rotation as well. That’s right, from walking and even going from sitting to standing, body part will rotate. This means the fascial layers will also be rotating and sometimes, that tissues gets “stuck” in one direction or between both end ranges. Adding some rotation to your hamstring stretches with intention, could be what helps you really unlock that posterior chain! Give it a go and let me know how much range you get!!

Often, Carpal Tunnel symptoms come back and client are stuck wondering why?! Typically, it’s because it’s address at the hand/wrist and not up the chain! Symptoms may come about from a compressed Median Nerve (which emanates in the neck). This is why I always stretch and loosen the neck (not shown), in these cases. Your PT won’t look there, because insurance won’t cover it. So, their hands are tied. However, specialists (like PT’s on their own, FST practitioners, like myself), can look elsewhere, for the root cause. Her symptoms dissipated right away after the session, and I barely worked at the wrist/hand. The neck, pecks, forearms were really restricted, in tissue and range of motion. So, we loosened up where things needed it, got some more blood flow and movement and subsided symptoms.
