✨Taking my client through a shoulder-focused #FunctionalRangeAssessment ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
. . . .
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The glenohumeral joint is anatomically designed to express a large range of motion with many degrees of freedom. This can cause ambiguity when determining a therapy/training plan of action to expand shoulder range of motion .
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The FRA not only identifies specific movement limitations, it helps to prioritize and periodize your action plan to reach your goals safely, efficiently and effectively .

I incorporate combos like this into my warm-up for upper body strength training and @kinstretch. Taking your shoulders through their full range of motion promotes activation of mechanoreceptors of the surrounding tissues - so the first time they experience load isn’t under a heavy bar or a high-intensity isometric contraction . ⠀⠀⠀

✨Thoracic CARs - Split Sit Base Position✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Enhancing spinal capacity, 1 segment at a time.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here, I’m using a block for INTENSITY and INTENT:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
INTENSITY - Generate more force by squeezing the block.
.
INTENT - Focus movement at the target segment by using the bottom edge of the block as my axis or rotation. I adjust the position of the block based on the spinal segment I want to target .

I had such an amazing experience teaching @kinstretch to some of the most advanced movers in the world .
. . . .
From contortionist to musicians, I had the privilege of working with some of the most elite performers from @cirquedusoleil to help prepare them for the #Corteo show while on tour in #WindsorOntario . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Not only did this deepen my appreciate for what the human body is capable of, but it also humbled me to see their dedication to their training and their passion for bring enjoyment to people across the globe . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I also got to see my first Cirque show and was blown away . I highly recommend catching one of their Corteo shows while on tour in Ontario. If you are in the Hamilton or London area, they are coming to you next!! ♂️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

FEEL IT

I had a great time working with @mvtcatalyst to help solve her mobility issues. Gabby takes her training very seriously and her body can do some very impressive things ✨. However, she had a very difficult time expressing independent hip motion. My goal was to show her what independent hip internal rotation feels like. We took our time to make sure she felt it in the right spots .
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
———
Rehab shouldn’t just be a checklist of daily exercises. It should be carefully prescribed, coached and practiced to make sure one reaps all of it’s benefits .
———
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is about 5 minutes of us trying to “find the stretch.” We played with various positions, movements and cues until things “clicked” and we found what we are looking for .
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Every person responds differently to every exercise. As well, every one responds differently to different cues. It was fun trying to help her solve the puzzle and watch her experience her “aha moments” .

End-Range Strength Training ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
▪️▫️▪️▫️▪️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Working at the left end of the length-tension curve to develop joint capacity. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Via isometric contractions, muscular force development is highest when a joint is in mid range, yet much lower in the “shortened” and “lengthened” end-ranges. Not coincidently, injuries most often occur at these end-ranges ⚠️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here, I’m training hip adduction and hip external rotation within the last few degrees of their “shortest” active range to cultivate hip capacity ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Push-
✨With shoulder extension lift-off hinges✨
————————————————————————
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Working to control myself through the whole push-up movement. Slow tempo’d movements are for developing strength and body control. Shoulder extension lift-offs helps develop strength in the regressive tissues at the bottom of the push-up. This is a game changer for those who get “sloppy” while lowering in a push-up.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⏪ Regress by kneeling or putting hands on a bench.
⏩ Progress by going on the toes and slowing down the movement. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
