Hip flexor tightness can effect opposite hamstring mobility and vice versa which is especially important to runners and athletes.

Let's save time and improve the mobility of both simultaneously.

These are two exercises that improve flexibility of the hamstrings and hip flexors at the same time.

Exercise #1 athletic positioned eccentric knee extension while in contralateral hip extension.

Exercise #2 supine hip extension with rapid contralateral knee extension in hip flexion.

I got a call Friday night asking..do you wanna go snowboarding tomorrow? It was predicted to be 60° and the the conditions may not be that great.

I said yes and stopped caring about the conditions, I just wanted to enjoy life.

We basically had the whole mountain to ourselves, short lift lines and plenty of runs. I was blessed to have gone that day

Instead of focusing on the potential negatives I focused on what I wanted to get out of that day. It was the right decision!

Focus on what you want, ignore the negatives because they're only mental conceptions!

A story from a PT.

A gentleman who had back and knee pain was waiting for a total knee replacement, and yet we were able to replicate some of his knee symptoms through back movements (possible back issues causing his knee pain). He went through the evaluation and I worked with him on a program; however, near the end of the first session he made one of those “light bulb” statements. He said, “I am sure what you have given me may help, but I’m slated for a total knee that I know will fix my problem. My doctor told me it would.”🤦🏿‍♂️

He didn’t do the exercises and said he would prefer to wait for the surgery. He got the surgery a couple months ago and low and behold his is no better; he is worse. Yet, his doctor told him to give it a year. So now this gentleman, who was walking without any device, is in a wheelchair and wants to wait on any physical therapy as his doctor suggested.😕

Don't be like him. Check out Frogner’s research on how patients with back pain do better when they see a PT first. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29790166/

This patient called for an emergency pain treatment and could barely walk.

I went to him and he had a significant spasm in his lumbar spine region.

I treated him with manual therapy to his back and complimentary regions.

I don't use a lot of fancy tech when I treat but I did use a percussion gun. Vibration and oscillation have been shown to activation of the deep spinal stabilizers.

He was able to walk and went to work following his treatment.

Many people equate their first physical therapy experience as being what every PTs is like.

Physical therapy comes in many different styles and skill levels.

If you're not getting one on one treatment with a PT, you're not getting quality care.

At Mobile PT you get at least 45 minutes of individualized care by a board certified orthopedic specialist.

There is a difference!

Learn more about how Mobile PT can help you get results that last.
