No one else will do it for you. The more you know about how your body works, the more equipped you will be to give it the attention and care that it deserves. It's show time! #danceanatomy #dancescience #injuryproofyourbody #strength4dance #strongerdancers #movebetter #dancephysio #dancephysiotherapist #lovedance #physiofordancers #dancersareathletes #lookafteryourbody #knowledgeispower #educateyourself #timetolearn

14.01.2022 Today's #repost explains exactly why we need variation in our training in order to improve our technique - specifically relating to #TURNOUT . We already know that constantly working in extreme ranges of turnout can lead to issues and potential injuries within the hip, but did you know that really pushing our turnout all the time will actually inhibit our turnout range, rather than improving it? . Turnout comes (or should come!) from our deep hip rotators. Six muscles that ...form a fan shape round the back of the hip: 2 gemelli’s, 2 obturators, quadratus femoris (QF) and the piriformis. When we go to turnout our legs, these muscles all shorten. This shortening is what holds our hips into external rotation. . The thing is, in order for muscles (ALL muscles) to work at their best, they need to be LENGTHENED as well as shortened. So, for healthy hips, we need to have strength in internal rotation, in parallel, AND in external rotation - not just one of the three. With strength in all three of these positions, the muscles around the hip have the chance to lengthen AND shorten effectively. . If your dancing life means that you’re constantly in external rotation (turnout) but never work in parallel or internal rotation, the back hips and glutes have to try and work ONLY in their shortened state. And if you keep muscles short the whole time, they become less functional. In other words, it means these muscles are working TOO hard. When the muscles at the back of the hip overwork, it can make it much harder for the hip to centre back into its socket which, as we know from previous posts, then limits our range of movement. . Ultimately, working into parallel and into internal rotation (turned-IN), give the turnout muscles the much needed chance to lengthen, which will then, in turn, improve their ability to shorten with greater range and strength. Resulting in - you guessed it - better turnout. #strength4dance #turnouttraining #strongerdancers #movebetter #trainyourhips #healthyhips #injuryprevention #physiofordancers #injuryproofyourbody See more

11.01.2022 And we’re done! 7 months, 7 weekends and 1 group of very lovely ladies that are now trained in both Mat and reformer Pilates . Have really enjoyed working with this group and will look forward to following their progress. Presenting with @davetranphysio was a super bonus and got to learn some great tips from his teaching experience. Always learning . #pilatesforlife #appipilates #appihealthgroup #unitehealthmanagement #corestrengthening #physiorehab #movementishealth

You will be able to do this programme at home and get strong for 2021 . #dancerfitness #hipstrengthening #nomorehipinjuries #nomorehippain #dancephysiorehab #leadingtheway
