Get up from the floor safely routine Movement Snack Part 2: Tall knee, side sit, tall kneel, stand back up.

Those with chronic back and hip pain tend to avoid certain motions especially twisting and bend to the side. Avoiding these minions weaken the muscles. Trunk muscle such as latissimus dorsi and obliques are an important part of your core, therefore very important to work on. Began using hands and props to successfully rise and lower, progressing towards no hands as able and as pain free movement allows.

“Help I have fallen and I can’t get up” is a phrase many of us grew up hearing. If you fall and do not have the strength to stand back up again on your own, you may lose independence. For those who are not yet “feeling their age” getting up from the floor or bathtub requires no more thought than breathing. YET, there will come a time where standing up without use of your hands and without knee,back or hip pain is something we yearn for. This month explores a routine that includes movements that will train and strengthen the deep core muscles that often get more weak with age, surgery and life’s accumulative injuries. Try this routine and see how it goes. Follow us throughout the next weeks to practice movement snack portions meant to eventually improve the ability to stand up from the floor with greater ease.

Suitcase Carry. This "exercise" really works the entire core top to bottom. There really is no reason to try it. The body mechanics used to bend, lift and walk incorporate all the movements, therefore all the muscles used with every day activities. When performed right your core is happy, when done daily without considering how the core works, well, that is when PAIN occurs in feet, knees, back, OR maybe leakage and prolapse. You can not change what you are not aware of. AWARENESS is Key.

Strengthening exercises are important when it comes to relief of piriformis syndrome.

Strengthening the piriformis and surrounding hip muscles improves the stability of the hip joint needed for true CORE function.

Piriformis syndrome often results from muscle imbalances in the hip and core (hips, back, abs, trunk and shoulders).

Strengthening exercises help rebalance the muscles restoring the system of muscle and joints needed for core support instead of compensation such as “pigeon walking” or “tucking the tail” all day that will affect pressure on the sciatic nerve.

Strengthening hip, and core muscles can reduce the workload on piriformis muscles. It helps to prevent muscle from becoming tight, spasming, or over working, which is a common cause of sciatic nerve compression.
