Ankle stiffness. An annoying presentation that can

Ankle stiffness. An annoying presentation that can limit functional movements such as squatting and stair walking, but how often are you making time to improve your mobility when stiffness blocks your progress?
.
This exercise is a great way to improve ankle mobility with the use of a loop band to apply a tensile force to the ankle and facilitate efficient joint articulation (ie mobilisation / glide). The added overpressure transferred from the upper limbs can also be used to move into deeper dorsiflexion ranges.
.
It’s important to establish whether your ankle range is limited by muscular tension or joint stiffness when attempting to manage your presentation so always seek professional guidance if unsure.

Bring some new life to your single leg RDL with th

Bring some new life to your single leg RDL with this modified pattern.
.
1. Posterior chain activation - the forward dead lift pattern requires controlled deceleration from the posterior muscle groups of the back, pelvis and legs to tilt at the lumbopelvic junction and lower the trunk forward, before concentrically bringing the trunk upright again.
2. Core control - the core muscles must remain active throughout to support the spine and pelvis, preventing curling of the back or rotation towards the weighted arm.
3. Balance - the supporting leg must maintain static positioning while experiencing the perturbations from the kettlebell, resistance band and hip flexion drive.

Get moving.

Scapula instability. Understanding how your scapul

Scapula instability. Understanding how your scapula moves in relation to your arm and torso is so important for overhead activities. Dysfunctional movements can cause shoulder pain and limit functional movement.
.
No one has perfect symmetry however with the right facilitation, cueing and exercise prescription, your scapula biomechanics can be improved.

Running. Loved by some, avoided by others. Just like our footprint, no two running styles are the same which means our approach to optimising our movement needs to be individual - it needs to be the best fit.
.
Whatever your passion, understand how you move through appropriate and thorough assessment. This in turn will help reduce the chance of repetitive strain and overload injuries and keep you moving the way you want to move.

Elevated split squat with band. This exercise encourages greater gluteal and quadriceps activation through the emphasis on knee tracking against resistance. Be ready for a bigger burn and faster fatigue!

Rest is important. It allows the body to recover and regenerate. However, prolonged rest periods without appropriate mobilisation and exercise can be detrimental to the healing process.
.
Completely ceasing activity in the hope that your body will make a miraculous recovery isn’t the answer. Be guided by your physio or other health practitioner based on a comprehensive assessment.
.
Rest should be intermittent, not continuous; however you need to understand appropriate and beneficial movement to optimise your recovery.
