๐Ÿ”ฅ Strong neck. Strong foundation.

Dr. Chris is working with our client Simon on neck bridges on the wall โ€” a powerful way to build neck strength and stability. ๐Ÿ’ช

Not many people train their neckโ€ฆ but your neck literally connects your head to the rest of your body.

If itโ€™s weak or unstable, it can contribute to poor posture, tension, and even discomfort down the chain.

This exercise helps:

โœ”๏ธ Improve neck stability

โœ”๏ธ Build strength in the deep neck muscles

โœ”๏ธ Support upright posture

โœ”๏ธ Increase overall head and cervical control

Keeping your head upright isnโ€™t just about posture โ€” itโ€™s about strength and control.

Train the muscles that support you every single day.

๐Ÿ’Ž Quality Tip Tuesday โ€” Proper Scapulothoracic Rhythm ๐Ÿ’Ž

Does your shoulder feel tight, pinchy, or limited when reaching overhead? ๐Ÿ‘€

One of the most common compensations we seeโ€”especially at homeโ€”is overusing the upper trap when raising the arm.

Why?

Because your body is trying to shorten the lever arm to make the movement easier. Instead of properly rotating and controlling the shoulder blade, the upper trap shrugs the shoulder up to โ€œhelpโ€ you lift.

The problem isโ€ฆ when the lower trap and serratus anterior arenโ€™t doing their job, the scapula doesnโ€™t upwardly rotate or posteriorly tilt correctly โ€” and that can lead to:

โ€ข Shoulder impingement

โ€ข Pain with overhead movement

โ€ข Decreased range of motion

โ€ข Reduced strength and control

At QMR, we teach you how to:

โœ”๏ธ Engage the right stabilizers

โœ”๏ธ Free up proper scapular motion

โœ”๏ธ Restore smooth, efficient shoulder mechanics

Your shoulder blade is the foundation for healthy shoulder movement. Fix the rhythm, and you free up the range.

Check out our Quality Tip of Dr. Chris demonstrating Proper Scapulothoracic Rhythm.

๐Ÿ”ฅ Shoulder pain when lifting? It might be your scapular stability.

In this session, Dr. Lesly is coaching scapular retraction on the bench โ€” a foundational movement to restore shoulder strength and control. ๐Ÿ’ช

This exercise targets:

โœ”๏ธ Rhomboids

โœ”๏ธ Rear deltoid

โœ”๏ธ Key scapular stabilizers

When the shoulder blade isnโ€™t strong or stable, the shoulder joint takes on more stress โ€” leading to discomfort, limited range of motion, and poor performance.

By strengthening the muscles that control scapular retraction, we help:

โ€ข Improve shoulder positioning

โ€ข Reduce strain on the front of the shoulder

โ€ข Build better pressing & pulling mechanics

โ€ข Increase long-term shoulder resilience

Strong shoulders start with strong shoulder blades.

๐Ÿ’Ž Quality Tip Tuesday โ€” Getting Down to the Floor the RIGHT Way ๐Ÿ’Ž

Are you putting unnecessary stress on your knees every time you get down to the floor? ๐Ÿ‘€

One common mistake we see is letting the knee collapse inward (excessive valgus) when stepping down. Over time, that inward collapse can increase stress on:

โ€ข The knee joint

โ€ข The kneecap (patella)

โ€ข Supporting ligaments and soft tissue

โš ๏ธ Small movement faults repeated daily = bigger problems later.

โœ… The Fix: Reverse Lunge Mechanics

Instead of collapsing inward, step back into a controlled reverse lunge:

โ€ข Keep your knee aligned with your toes or slightly behind your toes

โ€ข Avoid letting it cave in

โ€ข Control the descent

This activates the VMO (Vastus Medialis Oblique) โ€” a key muscle that helps stabilize the kneecap and support healthy knee mechanics.

๐Ÿ’ช Benefits:

โ€ข Improves knee alignment

โ€ข Builds functional leg strength

โ€ข Activates stabilizing muscles

โ€ข Helps prevent knee pain

โ€ข Makes everyday movements safer and stronger

Getting down to the floor shouldnโ€™t hurt โ€” and it definitely shouldnโ€™t cause long-term wear and tear.

Check out our Quality Tip of Dr. Lesly demonstrating How to Get Down on the Floor Correctly.

๐Ÿ”ฅ Low back pain doesnโ€™t mean you have to stop moving like an athlete.

Meet Steve ๐Ÿ‘Š

He came to QMR with low back pain, and now heโ€™s one of our QMR clientsโ€”moving better, feeling stronger, and training with confidence again.

We followed our 3-step process:

โœ… Step 1: Calm pain + restore control

โ€ข Static core stabilization to reduce stress on the low back

โ€ข Trigger point release + hands-on work to ease tension and improve mobility

โœ… Step 2: Build strength with movement

โ€ข Progressed from static stability โ†’ dynamic core stability

โ€ข Improved core strength so he can control his body during real-life movement

โœ… Step 3: Performance + injury prevention

Steveโ€™s job requires him to lift heavy objects, move fast, and stay powerfulโ€”so we trained him like it.

โ€ข Explosive leg strength

โ€ข Dynamic full-body movements

โ€ข Core control under speed + load

Because the truth isโ€ฆ as we get older, we stop doing explosive movementsโ€”but we shouldnโ€™t.

Thatโ€™s how you keep your athletic potential, protect your back, and stay strong for life ๐Ÿ’ชโšก๏ธ
