23.01.2022 Have you strained your calf? Looking for exercises to strengthen your calf muscles? Our physiotherapist Sarah runs through 5 exercises you can do to strengthen your calf. These exercises are also great for those who may have strained their calf. 1. Double leg calf raises.... 2. Double leg calf raise with a single leg lower. 3. Single leg calf raises. 4.

22.01.2022 Our physios demonstrate good and bad techniques of a few common exercises! 1. DEAD BUG Good vs bad technique. Our physiotherapists Laura and Sarah go through the ideal technique of a dead bug. The key for this exercise, along with a lot of core-based exercises, is maintain posterior tilt at the pelvis and avoid arching through your lower back. Inability to maintain a posterior tilt will increase the amount of stress placed through your lower back.... 2. PLANK Good vs Bad technique. Planks are a great movement for core engagement with so many variations to progress or regress the exercise to ensure you're always challenged. No matter what variation of plank you are wishing to do, the base technique will always remain the same. The key is to maintain a posterior tilt at the pelvis to ensure you're in a neutral position. You want to avoid having your bottom too high in the air otherwise will disengage your core. Another common mistake we make is letting our hips drop down causing our lower back to arch. 3. PUSH UP Whether you're doing a push up on your knees or on your toes, maintaining a neutral spine in paramount. Simply think about tucking your pelvis under to engage your core and holding that position throughout.
