21.01.2022 Sling work for footballers . Think of the Posterior Oblique Sling as a full-body slingshot with elastic bands. An essential component in any athlete development program . Dysfunction in this system puts the brakes on any power, strength and acceleration needed for optimal performance

21.01.2022 Rotational Landmine Snatch . When working with athletes it is important to remember the end goal; to be fast, powerful and explosive relative to the sport. . The demands of the sport first need to be defined in order to implement a programming approach that suits the human body in front of you as well as the task at hand.... . This Olympic lift variation encourages both rotation and strong overhead positional power making it a great stepping stone to progressing into Olympic style lifting. See more

21.01.2022 Hands down one of the best lower body movement patterns from both a lean tissue and strength perspective . Can be regressed to any split squat variation and progressed to any deficit or barbell. Either as an accessory to your compound lifts or use it as your main lift and focus on tempo and mechanical stress. . From a programming perspective through size, strength and mobility it would be to prioritise these at the forefront.... . Today instead of doing 12 per side I did 2 cluster sets of 6 to keep reps more consistent allowing greater loading capacity. See more

19.01.2022 Full Body Mobility Drill . This mobility drill is one of the best bang for your buck movement patterns to optimise mobility through the hips, thoracic spine and shoulder complex. . 1Hip opener: try to keep your back leg as straight and extended as possible in order to stretch the hip flexors. For the front hip, drive your elbow down to open up the hips into flexion.... . 2Thoracic spine rotation via the shoulder: build tension in the shoulder girdle and use your down arm to protract your scapula and rotate your torso towards the front leg. . 3Hip flexor stretch: reach up as high as you can additionally bending away from the leg that is to be stretched. Lunging into the front leg will ensure the pelvis is locked out avoiding any low back compensation. . 4Hamstring stretch: try and keep your knee as straight as possible. . Ensure this is followed up with an activation drill relative to the programmed day ahead! See more

16.01.2022 Building strong and stable hips . This is one of my favourites for improving hip stability and function. This gluteus medius wall lean will mimic the single leg stance required for functional movements through walking, ambulatory stairs and running. When the gluteus medius is weak it can lead to injuries such as IT band syndrome, medial knee pain, trochanteric bursitis, low back pain, achilles tendinopathy, shin splints and plantar fasciitis. . 1Start with your feet hip ...width apart. 2With your knee closest to the wall elevate and push your knee into the ball. 3Avoid leaning over to your stance limb allowing your trunk to be in a neutral position. . The stance limb will fatigue and feel the burn first, give it a try it is more difficult than it looks! See more

15.01.2022 Posterior Oblique Sling Using this particular type of myofascial Sling to facilitate Nathan's dynamic movement and stability across multiple joints Our aim here is to improve force transfer across the trunk to stabilise his body during his run, swim and bike event...

15.01.2022 With studies showing AFL players who suffer from asymmetric hamstring strength are at increased risk of injury it has never been more important to selectively recruit greater unilateral hamstring strength. Our aim here is to bring both the physiological adaption of strength and stability to the forefront of our offseason programming. Looking forward to seeing Kerrods offseason progression and performance enhancement

11.01.2022 Reducing injury risk in sport can be over complicated at times One simple way we can reduce the risk of injury for our athletes is with a well planned pre-season. Although we can't completely control the environment our athletes play in, building the foundations of movement will always give the best chance of performance and an injury free season.

11.01.2022 Serratus Swiss Ball Push . A weak serratus anterior can lead to poor scapulo-humeral rhythm and shoulder impingement . Here is a great way to stabilise and strengthen the entire shoulder girdle including but not limited to the rotator cuff... . 1Set yourself up with your feet hip width apart and one arm supported on the Swiss ball in front of you. 2Push away your shoulder blade (protract your scapula) and walk back until you feel a challenging distance for your shoulder musculature, the more you walk back the greater the demand. 3Add a dynamic component and begin performing circles clockwise and counterclockwise. . To make this exercise more functional you can rotate your body 30 degrees away from your stabilising arm putting your shoulder in the scaption plane to achieve optimal muscle length through the shoulder stabilisers!

07.01.2022 Why perform Glute Isometrics? . Why should we train the glutes isometrically . Not only will this help increase your corticomotor excitability but it will also increase area in the primary motor cortex which is the area of the brain we use to activate muscle fibres.... . Here are 3 non-weightbearing exercises improve your glute activation! . 1FireHydrant 2Side lying hip abduction 3Clams . Hold each for 2 x 30 seconds and you will feel the burn! This is also a great way to start a patient on a lower extremity strengthening program prior to loading in a closed chain position. See more
