If the pain is in your back, why work on the glutes and hips?

According to a recent study, gluteal training was beneficial in reducing pain and improving function for those with low back pain.

This is because the muscles in the hips and glutes are connected to the lower back, so it is essential to treat both areas.

Tendon pain is commonly thought to be an overload injury. But did you know vitamin D deficiency is also linked to tendon pain? ☀️

Of course, with tendon pain, it is important to strengthen the tendon and restore normal joint biomechanics, but also to look for any other factors that might be contributing to the injury! 💪

How can you prevent low back pain? 🤔

The answer isn’t so clear, but there are some ways to reduce your risk of developing low back pain.

For example, a recent study found that replacing sedentary and light physical activity with moderate-intensity physical activity reduced the risk of developing low back pain.

Moderate-intensity physical activities include walking fast, riding a bicycle, and even dancing! 🚴

Do you experience shin splints when you run? The solution might be your foot! 🦶

An “active arch” or “short-foot” exercise helps build up the strength of the small, supportive foot muscles.

Doing this exercise has been shown to reduce the stress placed on the shins while running. 🏃

Here's how: Stand shoeless on the affected leg with your foot flat. Engage your arch muscles to raise the arch without curling your toes or lifting the ball of your foot.
