GROOVING HIP EXTENSION . By popular demand, we're going to be looking at this active psoas stretch that you guys saw me do on my story today. Thanks to everyone who voted!📊 I'll put up more random stuff I work on during the day for y'all to see. . I love this drill for a few reasons. One, I always think active work trumps passive any day. Second, it addresses a common fault that I see with hip extension.👇 . I see a lot of people that cannot drive into hip extension with a neutral pelvis, whether they are tight or not. I find it to be more of a control and coordination issue most of the time. So with each step or lunge you lose pelvic and core positioning. Ideally, we minimize compensatory motion and are able to control our hip all the way into that extension and back, especially in higher stress situations such as 🏋️‍♀️weight training or long runs.🏃🏿‍♂️ . So this drill is one part active stretch (which personally I think works better than most passive stretches) and one part pelvic and core stability exercise. The goal is to hold the trunk steady as you isolate and pull the hip into extension with the glute. It will help you groove that pattern and learn to use hip extension without creating the pelvic motion. And trust me, it's harder than it looks.😉 .

@Regrann from @dr.jacob.harden - RELIEVE YOUR CREAKY KNEES . Did you know that your knee doesn't just flex and extend? It actually rotates too! And that rotation is super important for you feeling comfortable in your movements.😮 . Often, I've found that people who have stiff or "creaky" knees really lack in the ability to rotate their knee joint, especially internal tibial rotation. And mobilizing or just warming up that rotation can take away a lot of that stiffness. . This is a staple for all my lower body warm ups and makes squatting feel much more comfortable. But it's also something I've found to be super beneficial for runners. I used to do it all the time for people back when I worked the 5k's and marathons every weekend.🏃‍♀️ . ⏱1 minute each way tends to do the trick. Do it from kneeling, lunge, squat, whatever you want. Add it in to your next warm up if you haven't already. .

Do you have pain in the front of your knee when lunging?💥 Checkout these progression ideas from @dr.jacob.harden for ways to build strength without pain! 🗣Volume on!! #RepostPlus @dr.jacob.harden #TuesdayTips - - - - - - LOAD IS A SPECTRUM . 🔎 One of the first things I look at when someone has pain in the front of the knee, or anywhere really, is how they are loading their movements. This helps me establish a baseline of how much load the person can currently tolerate. . 📉 Early on, when the goal is to get pain to calm down, I like to take some load away from the knee. Strategies like this video really help us in that regard. Using the hip more and keeping the knee back can be really good strategies to reduce knee load and make things more comfortable. . 📢 Now many might look at that and say, "Oh so knees forward is bad." No no. Not so fast. Just because reducing load on a painful tissue makes it feel better does not mean that having more load on it is bad or caused the pain. It just means that in this moment in time, the tolerance only allows for a particular amount of load, and we have to work within the tolerance. Under normal circumstances, those other mechanics are perfectly acceptable, but when things are sensitive, we play by a different set of rules. . 🗓 Later on you might, and likely will, handle way more load, and then knee forward will be a great idea. We actually want it because we want to build the knee up. So transitioning to stepping forward and going knees forward and quad dominant will be the ultimate goal. . ↔️ Load is a spectrum and all we're doing is figuring out where you currently sit on it and where we want to go. All puns intended, sometimes you have to take a step back in order to take two steps forward. .

Our #techtiptuesday comes from @dr.jacob.harden and goes out to all our students studying for finals, our office workers, and those driving and sitting all day constantly in a shrugged possitiin. TRY OUT THIS NECK STRETCH . One of the biggest factors I've found in chronic neck tension is that we are constantly ️shrugging our shoulders up to our ears. Especially after sitting and working on our computers for long hours. . So we can stretch our neck out all day, but if we don't figure out that shrug, it's all going to be just a temporary fix. And one of the easiest ways to figure out how to release your shoulders down is to incorporate the movement into the stretch you're already doing. . So instead of just grabbing your head and pulling over, I want you to shrug all the way ⬆️up so you learn what that end range is, and then reach ⬇️down to the ground so you learn to go the other way. You can hold that statically or even better, you can pulse the shoulder up and down and get some reps in. . Then, now that you know what it feels like to have your shoulders dropped, try to replicate it when you go back to work. Add some good belly breathing on top of that and you'll be on your way to finding more long term neck relief.😀 .

A NEW APPROACH TO PAIN . Tonight I want get you thinking about pain in a different way.🤔 We often think about pain as damage. If it hurts then it has to be causing damage in some way. But that's really not always the case. Pain is PROTECTIVE. It is there because your nervous system (aka brain) doesn't feel SAFE with whatever you are doing. So it alerts you via pain so that you protect the area. . When we look at the literature, what we see is that many of the things we think of as debilitating, torn rotator cuffs, labral fraying, herniations, impingement, etc actually are present in people who are pain free too. 😕So what gives? Well, we shouldn't always be laser focused on structure and what the MRI says. We should focus on function, how it's limited related to our goals, restoring tolerance to movement, and guiding the healing process if necessary. . Drills like this can really help with that. There are a few things going on here that can help with your shoulder pain. One, we have a solid progression and regression plan that lets you work within your own movement tolerance. Two, we create torso stiffness, which can provide a safety net to the brain so that the feeling of threat is decreased. And three, we create some movement complexity so that we increase our input to the brain, make you think about all that's going on, and don't just solely focus on your shoulder. All of these affect how our brain processes what we're doing. As we work through repetition of tolerable movememt, our brain learns that we are ok there and let's us go a little further. And as we continue to progress, the available function continues to improve. . This is approach to pain is a big part of Day 2 of my Prehab 101 course (shameless plug: tickets on sale - link in bio 😁). As you find more ways to move within your tolerance, you'll see how pain starts to improve as you gradually work through the progression. .

Sitting for a long period of time can make it hard for anyone to move. I have quite a few clients that complain about their first couple of steps out of the office chair. Simple movements like these can make a big difference in the long run for joint health. _______________________ In my next video I’ll show you how to add diaphragmatic breathing to relax those muscles that have been holding tension as you were seated. #Repost @dr.jacob.harden (@get_repost) ・・・ DESK STRETCH MONDAYS EPISODE 3 . Today on #DeskStretchMondays, we're going to move down to the lower body and work on the hamstring. As we sit all day, the hamstring can feel a little stiff and tight. . I know a lot of you want to hit the 💪🏻gym or do some 🏃🏻‍♀️cardio after work, and this feeling of stiffness can make you feel like it takes twice as long to get warmed up and ready to perform. And let's be honest, the last thing you want to do after an 8 hour work day is spend more time warming up. So you might skip over it or not put in as much as you really need, which isn't going to be ideal.🙁 . 🤔So how do we balance this? The simplest way is to prevent the stiffness as best we can. That's where adding in a stretch like this, either static or dynamic, can help keep you feeling limber so that you don't have to put in extra work just to feel normal before training. So now you can do a normal warm up, train hard, and get home relax. . What body ares give you trouble? Throw it out in the comments to vote for next week's DeskStretchMondays. .
