22.01.2022 BACK TO WORK Are you heading back to the office/home office this week?

19.01.2022 How do you train hamstrings? Level up your hamstrings with this exercise. Training hamstrings can reduce your risk of hamstring tear, improve hip strength and stability and may even assist in reducing back pain. ... Tag your gym buddy and try it out! #yourlocalphysio Fitness Local Mortlake

16.01.2022 Let's talk squats and hips! The squat is one of the most functional exercises to incorporate in to a gym program. Every time we sit and stand again, we are squatting! So it makes sense to include it in to a gym program to gain or maintain strength in this movement as we get older. ... Our hip mobility can significantly affect the depth of our squat and how we load other joints of our body. Below we have a video of Mitch performing a squat 3 times. Video 1. Mitch is wearing shoes designed for running. Notice the slight rocker on the bottom of the shoe that pushes him forward on to his toes at the bottom of the squat and the way he is rocked back on to his heels in final standing. Ideally, to be performing a squat you want to be in flat shoes or barefoot. 2. The Pre-mobilty squat. Notice the depth of his hips at the bottom of the squat and the way in which his knees and then the bar travel forward on the ascent, turning this exercise into a quad dominant one and potentially causing knee pain! 3. The post-mobility squat. Now notice the depth of his hips and the bar path on the ascent. Mitch is able to sit his hips in to a parrellel position and is able to control the path of the bar to be more vertical, meaning he is maintaining the weight on his heels and isn't increasing the load through his knees. Mind the buttwink at the end of range, we will save that discussion for another day!!

15.01.2022 Glute warm up What you do before you workout at the gym, go for a walk or run, influences the performance of your body and what muscles you use. One of our faves is the T-kick. It is great for glute recruitment, activation and hip stability. It's also performed in a functional position (standing). ... Give this a go before your next workout! #yourlocalphysio

14.01.2022 MOVEMBER IS HERE!! November is a time to raise awareness for mens health.

14.01.2022 CORE CONTROL Recently we have seen an increase in patients presenting with low back pain. While the cause and treatment may differ, one thing we always look for is core control and stability. ... The better we are at stabilising and bracing through our core, the more power we can generate in our limbs! An exercise we commonly prescribe is the deadbug (shown below) If you can't maintain a neutral spine whilst extending opposite arm and leg, your core stability isn't good enough! Struggling with low back pain? Contact us today https://bookings.nookal.com/bookings/company/QNUFK/DMAFS

11.01.2022 GLUTES We love glute work! A great way to isolate your glutes, particularly gluteus medius is in side lying.

06.01.2022 CUFF STUFF Good shoulder health relies on strength and stability in our rotator cuff and good thoracic mobility. Often when we spend all day working at a desk, our shoulder and spine isn't placed in a favourable position. ... Where we run in to trouble is if stiffness in our spine and shoulders builds up over time and when we jump in to exercise WITHOUT correct warm up/activation. Stuck for ideas on correct activation? Try these exercises below. Your aim is to keep the band taught by trying to keep your wrists the same distance apart as you raise your arms above your head. (try not to let your back arch as your lift your arms) Arrive 5 mins early to your next gym class, or try it out in your lunch break! Let us know how you go! #yourlocalphysio Fitness Local Mortlake Wellness Local - Yoga, Mat & Reformer Pilates, Barre

02.01.2022 HIP MOBILITY FOR SQUATS Remember that video with Mitch suqatting? Below is a few mobility exercises you can do to improve that hip range, increase squat depth and reduce load on other joints. ... 1. Childs pose. - Start on all fours, slowly sink your hips back toward your heels. - Try taking your knees wider for more stretch through the low back. 2. 'Runners' stretch - Start on all fours - Step one leg to the outside of your hands - Turn the front knee out for more of a stretch through the hip - For a real challenge, place elbows on floor. 3. 'Runners' rotation stretch - Same positioning as the second stretch - Thread the opposite arm under the front leg - Rotate the same arm away from the body - To make it easier- lift the back knee off the floor so you are in more of a lunge position. Need more mobility tips? We can taoilor a program specific to you and your needs! Call us today 8765 1491 or book online http://bookings.nookal.com/bookings/company/QNUFK/DMAFS
