Manual resistance is a highly effective loading strategy that is often overlooked. Of the many benefits to manual loading, here are a few to consider:
-Allows the coach to apply “gradient” pressure and adjust the amount of force based on the athletes strength/fatigue.
-Allows the athlete to genuinely feel specific positions and recruit the proper musculature. I also think this helps athletes “groove” their independent patterns.
-Can be performed with no setup or equipment and requires minimal space.
Shown here (in order) are psoas, QL, and trunk anti-rotation. For each we want ~3-5 sec of max resistance followed by a controlled eccentric with modified resistance.
-For psoas, apply pressure at the knee, be sure the athlete is using glute to stabilize stance leg as opposed to locking out the knee. Neutral spine and active front side flexion are imperative (hence, the band inclusion on this one).
-For QL: Pull from calf and place hand (fist) to block the opposite hip. In this video, I’m pulling on her left leg meaning we are working left QL.
-For trunk: Have athlete cross arms, make sure knees are soft. We are pushing on one side and pulling on the opposite. The athlete should do their best to recruit ab muscles to resist torsional stress.

We had an athlete come in with sharp pains in his shoulder + ribs whenever he placed any weight on his arm. He saw a TCM practitioner & a remedial massage therapist whom both gave him releases in his shoulder in the weeks before.
·
When he came to see us, he was in a lot more pain than before and upon assessment, we found tightness in his functional line - particularly down in his adductors, which were inhibited (tight + not active)
·
We didn’t touch his shoulder/ ribs in the session but focused on restoring mobility in his adductors through needling and exercises. Two days & a ton of stacking on his own, he was pain-free.
·
We look at the body as a whole when assessing and hardly follow the symptoms.
It’s a lot faster to fix problems that way.
As the year draws to a close, Mildred and I would like to thank all of you for entrusting your health and performance to our care.
-
We have always seen pain as nature’s alarm to let us know that something in our system is out of balance. It could be a lack of recovery time, lack of movement, or it could be warning us that we are doing too much of something that isn’t so good for us. Every injury or presence of pain is therefore an opportunity to learn a bit more about ourselves and also a time we are encouraged to stop to re-calibrate.
-
In 2019 we hope to continue growing our community to help more become aware of themselves, their movement and to be more intentional about the things they do everyday!
-
We'll be back in the office on 7th Jan 2019! Bookings for Jan are already opened on our website. Till then, stay stacked.
Here’s one of our favorite exercises to build glute strength & aid in prehab and rehab of knee pain. You’ll develop glute strength in both the standing leg (the left in the video) & the swinging leg (the right in the video).
·
Points of Performance:
1. Sit into the hip & maintain neutral spine - the load should be in your bum
2. While moving swing leg into an extension, ensure movement only comes through the leg, and not the back
3. Throughout the motion, maintain core tension by holding firmly on the bar and keeping your elbows slightly pulled towards each other
·
Respect the points of performance to maximise the gains! Tag us in your video if you would like a form check!
FULL SQUAT FOR BETTER KNEE HEALTH
·
”The most important thing about joint health is to strengthen the muscle through the maximal range that the joint allows.”
·
If you don’t allow your knee past your toes with heavy/ repetitive squatting, you’ll only be doing a partial range of a squat and can result in imbalances in your musculature and strength development. This can overtime lead to adaptations that can result in knee pain.
·
Let us know what you think!
STACK YOUR HIPS
·
Both a shorted hip flexor and a lengthened hip flexor will give you a feeling of tightness simply because regardless, it's out of stack.
·
Exploring the shortened Hip Flexor - this is common in the an 'overarched' posture. You'll see the ANTERIOR tilt.
·
Problem: SHORTENED hip flexor
Solution: LENGTHEN it!
·
BOX "STRETCH"
Purpose: To increase the length of the hip flexor
·
Focus:
- Stack the stretch by pulling your tail bone down into a posterior tilt. This is done through engaging your glutes/ squeezing your bum
- Maximise the stretch by lifting your foot off the support to engage your hamstrings further strengthening the stack! Just be careful the height of the box as you can easily get a cramp on your hamstrings!

Movement is Healing ⬅️⬆️⬇️↗️↘️ Movement is RESTING from a static posture. Movement hydrates fascia. Allowing fluids to be replenished removing toxins carried by the lymphatic system. Thigh with and without fascia. Can you tell which of the three images includes muscle? I love learning about Fascia because I’m retraining my understanding of the body and eliminating some of the things I learned in school AND in Yoga Teaching Training.s. Being willing to unlearn and see with different eyes something that has always been there is an amazing experience! Not only for the brain but for the senses ✨ This stretch might seem mainly for the things, but feels great on the torso, diaphragm, shoulders, lower back, ankle mobility Fascia @anatomytrainsofficial
