How often do we talk about elevating heels on the squat?? 🏋️‍♂️

How about elevating palms on the push-up?

Some of the same benefits of elevating heels apply to altering hand position on pressing motions for both symptom modification and assessment purposes.

Case and point here is an example of palm elevated push-ups for a patient that struggles with end-range wrist extension. This modification allows us to improve pressing strength while we work on improving mobility.

In contrast to push-up handles or push-ups from a barbell, which is usually performed in a neutral wrist position, elevating the palms allows us to build up a tolerance to wrist extension in a weight-bearing position.

Hands down one of my favorite push-up variations! (See what I did there? 🤣)

I love incorporating elastic bands into my treatment sessions when I want to add an instability aspect to a specific exercise.

Here is an example of using a powerband as a bridge between the handle of a cable and the cable itself. The band absorbs energy as it's pulled on creating a lag effect and making the rotator cuff work hard to keep the patient pressing as smooth as possible.

Physical Therapy should be about getting you back to doing the things you love, not encouraging you to stay away from them.

Case in point: snapped this photo before breaking down my last client's bar. 8 weeks ago he had back pain just bending forward...today we're pouring on the resiliency with 200lbs+ for reps 💪
