24.01.2022 SIDE-LYING BOW & ARROW Great exercise to improve mid-back mobility and strengthen the posterior rotator cuff and deltoid. Instructions:... Lying on your side with your shoulders, hips and bent knees stacked directly on top of each either. Holding a heavy resistance band in both your hands, as you exhale, slowly bend your top elbow so that your hand slides along your bottom arm. As your hand contacts your rib cage, rotate your upper body towards your bent elbow until you feel a stretch behind your scapula. Whilst performing the above movement, make sure you press your top knee forwards to minimize any pelvic movement. Once at your end range, take a big inhale to expand your rib cage and increase the stretch. Slowly return to the start position as you exhale. Progressions: Increase tension on the theroband Perform in lunge position to challenge stability . . #myhealthco #bowandarrow #mobility #rehab #movement
18.01.2022 KNEELING ADDUCTOR/HAMSTRING SLIDE Great for those who would like to improve their hip mobility, improve flexibility and strength in their adductor and hamstring muscles. Instructions:... Place your left knee on a mat in a high kneeling position with your hip locked out in full extension. Maintain this position by tensing your left glute. Place your right heel on a slider with your toes rotated outwards and your leg straight. Make sure your hip bones are facing directly forwards. Slowly slide your heel away from body whilst maintaining left hip position and tension in your left glute. Once at end range, draw your heel in by squeezing glute and adductor muscles. Repeat 8-10 times, trying to slide out a little further every time. Repeat on right leg. 8-10 reps per side, 3 sets Thanks @mymovementexercisephysiologist for this one! . . #mobility #rehab #strengthening #hipmobility #osteopathy #exercisephysiology #squatmobility
16.01.2022 PELVIC TILTS IN QUADRUPED (ALL 4’S) POSITION This is a great exercise to help improve your pelvic control and increase your lumbar mobility. Instructions:... Place your hands on the floor directly under your shoulders and keeping your knees directly under hips. Whilst keeping your mid-back in a neutral position, slowly press your tailbone outwards to increase the arch in your lower back. Once at your end range, reverse the pelvic movement by gently squeezing your glutes to tuck tailbone between your legs. This will result in a flattening of your lower back. Repeat 10 times. Repeat with your feet shifted across to the left side (Knees stay in the same position). Repeat 10 times. Repeat again with your feet shifted across to the right side. Repeat 10 times. . . #myhealthco #osteopathy #exercisephysiology #mobility #rehab #pilates #pelvictilts See more

06.01.2022 Do you sit at a desk all day? Did you know, we experience pain and discomfort, not because of a certain posture, but because of the lack of movement in that position? If yes, then here is a quick 60 second movement routine. Do this every 30 minutes when at your desk.... . . #myhealthco #movement #mobility #deskergonomics See more
02.01.2022 SPIKEY BALLING FOR YOUR GLUTES Have your glutes been aching from sitting at your desk for a long period of time? Then this is a great exercise for you! The spikey ball can act as a self treatment tool by massaging deep into the gluteal muscles. Instructions:... Start by sitting on the floor, bend the left leg and place the right ankle over the left knee (figure-four position) with your hands stretched out behind you. Place the spikey ball underneath the right glute muscle and roll around until you can find a tender point. Once you have found your tender spot - hold the spikey ball for 5-10 seconds to increase the pressure. You may be able to find multiple tender points to spikey ball on each side Repeat on the left side Don’t fear if you don’t have a spikey ball at home! You can replace it with any small ball at home (the more firm the ball, the more intense the self massage) . . #myhealthco #osteopathy #spikeyball #exercisephysiology
