22.01.2022 Our role = implementing exercise interventions for people with musculoskeletal injuries, medical conditions, or disabilities. Pretty much any conditions with an evidence base that exercise can improve it . I focus solely on the musculoskeletal side because 1) I'm endlessly passionate about it! 2) There is a huge demand for it 3) I really just love it and taking people on that journey to surpassing what they ever thought they were capable of! . People come to me injured, o...r in pain, or simply hitting roadblocks being slow to progress in their training. I'm not assessing to diagnose ... I'm NOT here to slap a label on you about your problem nor do I want to i.e. "bad hip", "bursitis" to every shoulder pain lol (to name a few of my pet hates ) . I'm assessing to observe movement and function, yes potentially in relation to where the pain is being felt, but for the sake of FUNCTION and what is fuelling the problem... not to tell them in big words the kind of condition they may have. Is there a place for diagnostics? Of course! Is it with me? No it isn't! It worries me the dooming approach I hear about from patients after poor experiences with health professionals and rehab... imo it can be too disempowering for the patient who walks away believing they are fucked, with no real solutions . 99.99% of the time, when you get shit working well... pain goes away. When you get shit functioning well, specific to the demand of the HUMAN in front of you... that is what makes us resilient to mitigate injuries. When you start working the right shit for the right person.. shit goes well . Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result is insanity! Not improving? Something needs to change! . Hell yes to a test/retest and progressive rehabilitative approach that focuses on function... not on pain. Pain fucks off by itself when function is taken care of. Because active problems can only be solved by active solutions! . So throw your heat pack and massage ball away because it's not curing anything... (jks don't throw them away and I love lacrosse balls but ya get what I mean ) See more

22.01.2022 JP Cooper - Bits and Pieces 2nd week of this chorey tonight on ZOOM 7pm! Love Pole

21.01.2022 It's been such a pleasure working with aerialist and dance teacher @lilmissloz We first started working together in December last year where she came to me with a hamstrings injury. Not only have we worked to pain-free but she is killing it with her flex and strength progression . I am so passionate about helping people exceed their pre-injury capacity. I feel there is a major gap that is overlooked between getting "rehabbed"/"treated" to pain-free vs. bridging the gap be...tween pain-free and the physical DEMAND of aerials/pole-dancing. Bridging that gap is what it means to properly strengthen and condition our bodies to ADAPT to the demand of aerials, and consequently be more resilient to mitigate future injury! (AND perform better woohoo!) . It is my ABSOLUTE MISSION to help you do that! . All creds to Lauren for putting in the work I am simply a slightly torturous but positive enabler . . . . . #exercisephysiologist #mobility #aerialist #aerialhoop #poledance #poletraining #poletricks #poledancer #poleathlete #aerial #dancer #flexibility #flexible #polehab #prehab #rehab #mobilitytraining #specificity See more

20.01.2022 Stretching Myths #4 POLERS please read So important . How many of you struggle to fit in all the kinds of training necessary to be both strong and more flexible??? We are like yup just doing my exercises to get "stronger" now, then later - yup gotta really make sure I put in the work on my flexibility exercises now so I don't stiffen up ... as if our strength and flexibility don't have a DIRECT correlation with each other Flexibility and strength ARE NOT in opposi...tion to each other - they are mutually beneficial . In fact, true mobility is the range of motion your BRAIN can actively control. Therefore MOBILITY = FLEXIBILITY + STRENGTH . Proper and effective FLEXIBILITY TRAINING SHOULD BE STRENGTH TRAINING They are not separate and the key factor we need to take into account to understand this, is a vital training principle that we should never neglect: SPECIFICITY Training strength in a PARTICULAR RANGE OF MOTION will improve the bodies ability to control said range! . So the REAL flexibility program SHOULD be a SPECIFIC strength program and don't you forget it!!!! . . #exercisephysiologist #polehab #poleathlete #poledancingsydney #poledancer #aerialist #aerialtraining #performingarts #mobilitytraining #personaltrainersydney #flexibilitytraining #stretching See more

19.01.2022 Stretching Myths #5 Keep trying.. it will take YEARS to see ANY progress . Let's abolish your limiting beliefs like "I'm just not a flexible person", or "I'll never be able to improve my flexibility" . I'm not promising that anyone can turn into a 13 year-old russian gymnast But what we need to consider, is NOT that there is something wrong with YOU or your "genetics" . Although genetics may play a role in how naturally flexible you are - EVERYONE can improve from thei...r current mobility if you put in the RIGHT kind of work Probably beyond what you ever thought was possible if you persist long-term! . The real problem is that you may not be focusing on proper mobility and training protocols that physiologically can achieve your flexibility goals . Thanks for checking out my last stretching myth! Stay tuned for more practical tips on how we can start using the information I have been sharing with you, to get bendier and stronger... YAYYY! See you SOOOON! .

17.01.2022 MYTH NO. 2: More stretching will release my "tight" stiff muscles and will make me more flexible e.g. sitting in your splits will eventually equate to a flatter split . I am not saying STRETCHING is pointless.. it can be great when used appropriately - but to get the results you want, you need to COMBINE it with specific strength training in those ranges of motion!

16.01.2022 Fitness industry: "Neutral spine" Me: ... I want to tell you a story pleaseeee!!!!! . Not one position or range of motion can be labelled as "bad" or "dangerous". There is no global right or wrong! .... My pet hate = when aerialists/dancers present with a chronic injury and their healthcare professionals tell them something like: "oh yea this pain is because of pole/dancing because the range is so extreme you have overloaded it and that's why you're in pain".... Even when the patient is treated to feel better he/she walks away 1) Dis-empowered , 2) Believing that so long as they continue their sport they will always trigger this pain. THIS IS SO FAR FROM THE TRUTH! . Not only have many clients come to me with this kind of story - but it happened to myself as a young ballet dancer! I had a chronic pain through the top of my big toe. The health pro I saw massaged it, and explained how I had "degeneration" and it was from all the pressure of pointe work. Over time "if you keep dancing it will just get worse", but we can "try to keep it under control"..... Dudes I was 14!!! That experience is burned in my memories and all I remember thinking is: "Well I'm definitely going to keep dancing so gotta bite that bullet!! And will probs also need a walking stick by the time I'm 40" . This is one of the many reasons why I am so passionate about helping people on their journeys to feel empowered and learn the right approach to rehab, train, and tap into the amazing movement potential that our human body is truly capable of, when given the right inputs! . Things are NOT black and white. I have trained the ranges of motion to have full ownership of the above move, and therefore it is not dangerous and can be performed safely. If you sit 8 hrs a day and only do bodybuilding workouts then yes, attempting this would be a horrendous idea! . SPECIFICITY - if we assess what ranges we can currently control, our limitations, and implement strategies to expand range and strength in those particular areas SPECIFIC to the DEMANDS - then the body can adapt to create that movement efficiently. This in turn mitigates injury risk! . Thanks for reading hahaa See more

15.01.2022 Can't wait to get back into the stage feels!!

14.01.2022 DO YOU HAVE TIGHT HAMMYS?? PART 1 of 3 . Why are ISOMETRICS vital as we train to open up new ranges of motion . It is the SAFEST place to start when trying to increase flexibility, due to the even tension across the joint during controlled isometric loading... . It helps us overcome our stretch reflex threshold at that range i.e. stretch tolerance, to enable us to move into new ranges safely . High intensity of the efforts = more nervous system inputs = progressive strength and tissue adaptations over time in that specific range of motion . . SOOOO SQUEEZEEEEEE away! This kind of training is suprisingly tiring when done correctly - despite not even moving . There are multiple factors that contribute to tight hamstrings and restricted mobility! And if you have been following my posts you will know how much I go on about strength and flexibility being interrelated and mutually beneficial, and NOT in opposition with each other! Stay tuned for my upcoming posts which follow-up this technique with some specific strengthening examples to help you continue your journey to looser hammys! . . . . #flexibilitytraining #mobilitytraining #exercisephysiologist #poleathlete #poledancersofig #poledancingsydney #FRC #splits #hammyprehab #hamstringsflexibility #hamstrings #poledancer #aerialist #dancer #dancephysio #activeflexibility #flexible #strongandbendy #poleconditioning See more

14.01.2022 One thing I really love about dancing is that it is a beautiful reminder to connect straight into the present moment ... That in itself is an inspiration to be appreciated and celebrated .... Not being present in our lives and constantly thinking either about the past or stressing about the next thing ahead of us is something that is so common in this day and age of technological busyness! Don't let the present moment pass you by unaware, as it's the only part of life that ...we actually live in and can enjoy #feelingdeep You know that cliche 'dance your troubles away' ?

13.01.2022 NECK PAINS after FLOORWORK! Just following up on my recent post about our necks during our favourite floor jams! Think about how much your neck would normally move in your average day .... Staring straight ahead at our work computers and down at our phones? ... Maybe a quarter turn when someone calls your name? When you think about the range of motion we ACTUALLY use on a daily basis.... it kinda makes sense why our necks freak out after floorwork tricks right!? B...ecause we are suddenly putting them into end-range positions WE HAVEN'T BEEN USING! . Use it or lose it guys! That's where Controlled Articular Rotations or "CARs" come to great use! TRY THIS to move your neck DAILY and this is also a GREAT warm-up for preparing your neck pre-pole class! . PS. your neck like all other parts of your body have muscles that need to be strengthened, especially for the demands of pole! Getting sore muscles even in your neck post-training from exercises that are supposed to strengthen that area - is NOT the enemy, BUT if you have persisting pinching pains on the shortening side of any neck movements - I'd recommend seeing a health professional! . . . #exercisephysiologist #mobility #neckpain #neckmobility #hairflick #CARs #pdfloorwork #poledance #poletraining #poletricks #poledancer #poleathlete #aerial #dancer #flexibility #flexible #polehab #prehab #mobilitytraining See more

13.01.2022 STRETCHING MYTH #1 RELAXING THE GLUTES DURING BACK-FLEX . There are so many different cues around about contortion/flex training and there seems to be a persisting myth that as we try to push our end-range back extension that we should relax the glutes (i.e. our bums) to reduce the pressure in the lower spine Have you guys heard that one before?? Today, I'd like to debunk that myth! And here's why: 1) We actually want to ENGAGE the glute muscles during back flex esp. w...hen one or both of our hips are in full extension e.g. full bridges, needlescales ... This actually REDUCES the pressure on our lower back through active involvement and stabilisation from the hips . 2) The attachments of our gluteal muscles mean that it's anatomically impossible for these muscles to physically increase the pressure on the lower spine . 3) If you actually do feel the sensation of increased low back pressure when you try to squeeze the glutes - that is an indication that you're in the habit of compensating with your lower back muscles. Time to tune up your glute motor control i.e. 'brain to buns' connection .

12.01.2022 When is static stretching appropriate? Is static stretching before training "bad"? Alot of the time things aren't simply "good" or "bad" to do. The answer is usually that it depends! . Ask yourself this Do you already have the cold mobility for the joint positions required for your training session? (I.e. can your joint move here passively when you aren't warmed up?) . If YES, pre-training static stretching is not an efficient use of your time! Go straight to active work... and warmups in those ranges so you can focus your time and energy on building more strength and control of the range YOU ALREADY HAVE! . If NO, static stretch first to temporarily open up more range, then reinforce with active work in those ranges. Repeating these inputs frequently over time is the journey to STRONG AND BENDY . . . . . . . . . #strongandbendy #exercisephysiologist #polehab #poleathlete #poledancingsydney #poledancer #aerialist #aerialtraining #mobilitytraining #activeflexibility #flexibilitytraining #staticstretching #stretching #poledancersofinstagram #bendy See more

11.01.2022 USE IT or LOSE IT guys! That's where "Controlled Articular Rotations" or "CARs" come to great use! TRY THIS variation to the neck CARs exercise I showed you in my last neck post and move it daily! This is also a great choice for warming up your neck pre-pole class! . Technique tips: . Slow and controlled, brace core, high tension - imagine moving your head through mud... Make sure you don't miss out the rotation part of the circle i.e. saying "no" action of the head Before you extend/start pointing your chin upwards you MUST retract the chin backward like a double-chin action - this enables a more efficient neck extension action. If you leave your head poking forward and lift your chin, you will be forcing extension mainly through our mid cervical spine instead of properly utilising our whole neck to produce the action . PS. If you have persisting pinching pains on the shortening side of any neck movements - I'd recommend seeing a health professional! . . . . #exercisephysiologist #mobility #neckpain #neckmobility #hairflick #CARs #pdfloorwork #poledance #poletraining #poletricks #poledancer #poleathlete #aerial #dancer #flexibility #flexible #polehab #prehab #mobilitytraining #poledancersofig See more

10.01.2022 DO YOU HAVE TIGHT HAMMYS?? PART 3 of 3 . Refer to the last 2 parts leading to this one if you haven't already Did you know that it is our nervous system response to not having the strength and stability to be SAFE in a certain range of motion... that stops us from moving into that rangeI.e. to PROTECT us!!! So we can hold stretches all day but that alone won't get us very far We MUST build STRENGTH to stretch further effectively and safely! . Step 3 is strengthening o...ur hipflexors at our end ranges which helps stabilise and actively lift the leg into the ranges we are trying to improve! Give this one a go and let me know your thoughts below .

10.01.2022 Do you have niggly wrists in handstand positions? You are NOT ALONE! I thought I'd open 2021 with this three part series to give you some practical and effective ways to start working on this very common issue! Tag your friends that complain of sore wrists after handstands! . PART 1 of 3 - Wrist extension PAILs/RAILs . First up, swipe across to learn this simple drill as a starting point to building mobility+stability in this position! TRY THIS as part of your wrist pre...p warm-up pre-handbalancing training . One of the most common factors involved when you experience wrist discomfort when training handstands (or even during pushups/high planks) is due to a lack of end range wrist extension strength and stability - which is what we are working on over my next few posts! . Tips FYI . We are using the floor to passively position our wrist in our end-range - the more we shift the shoulder forward over the hand with the elbow straight - the further we go into the range.... we are NOT trying to lean/press our bodyweight into the hand for this exercise . If you are feeling an uncomfortable pinch in the top of the wrist, you are over-forcing the range - decrease the angle and work from there . Increase intensity of the efforts as you practice and understand the drill = more nervous system inputs = progressive strength and tissue adaptations over time in that specific range of motion . Stay tuned for PART 2 of 3 coming tomorrow! . Pleaseee try this technique and let me know how you go! . . . #exercisephysiologist #mobilitytraining #wristextension #wristconditioning #FRC #polehab #handstands #wristmobility #poledancer #poleathlete #aerial #wristpain #poledancingsydney #prehab #wristprehab #strongandbendy See more

08.01.2022 #Repost by my amazing client thanks so much for the shoutout @pip1up : . "I can’t thank Renee enough for what she has done for me in the past 4 months . I initially came to see her for my shoulder issues which was often caused by working and studying long hours at the desk and my pole exercises which would make it worse. I now see her for everything even for the smallest things . She is the only person I met that helped fix my body long term rather than finding short te...rm relief. Her methods helped me improve my posture and lung capacity (issues I had as a kid) since she examines my body holistically rather than providing localised treatment. . She diagnoses where I lack thereof when I haven’t mentioned and she knows my body better than me (my reactions are often ) because she looks into root causes of where my body is compensating and helps me readjust. . I am very grateful for you finding time early in the morning to see me. Really appreciate your vast knowledge and for taking care of my body/ reaching my fitness goals " . . #exercisephysiologist #poledancer #poleathlete #poledancersofig #mobilitytraining #flexibilitytraining #poledancingsydney #shouldermobility #activeflexibility #strongandbendy #rehab #prehab #polehab #poleconditioning See more

03.01.2022 #pdballerina issues? TRY THIS activation drill to help us get into this move on the pole!! . Two important points to consider with any move you are struggling with . 1 There are physical pre-requisites required to be able to efficiently achieve each pole move. For example with the ballerina move we need to have enough control and range in a) hip external rotation b) upper back rotation c) shoulder extension (this above exercise engages all 3!)... . 2 Commonly and especially with this move - it is not actually a lack of strength/mobility it can often be a technical error that you are not yet fully understanding the skill i.e. requiring more coaching and practice! (listen out to the cues your instructor tells you! ) . Common technical errors : . Not leaning torso forward and not sticking your tailbone out enough makes it IMPOSSIBLE to hook the underneath leg . Not squeezing the upper back to arch/twist vs. just trying to reach the arm . Not actively pushing the front knee outward . Struggling with a move at the moment? Holler at me! . Ps. My tights are made of 100% recycled plastic bottles!

03.01.2022 This dance freestyle turned out pretty and some others are complete disasters but I have fun either way! Some days I have the inspiration bug and others I have to grind for it. But I love that process! I experience so much joy in feeling musical vibes and exploring my own movement I want everyone to experience how we are all innately creative if we can just learn how to re-introduce it back into our lives like when we were kids! Be unafraid to explore your authentic self,... there is no textbook telling us how we have to move around the pole! . . . . #poledancer #lyricalpole #pdfreestyle #lyricalpoleography #poledance #poleflow #danceimprovisation #pdchoreography #poledancersofig #poleathlete #poledancingsydney #poledancer #exercisephysiologist #dancer #pole #poleography See more

02.01.2022 #3 PASSIVE STRETCHING IS POINTLESS . Let's not go too far! It's useful when used appropriately! . ASK YOURSELF - Do you have the cold mobility/passive range of motion for your desired position? If the answer is YES - go straight to all those active drills so you can focus your time building stronger more bulletproof control of the range of motion THAT YOU ALREADY HAVE If the answer is NO - passive stretch first - active work after, & repeat the training sessions fre...quently! Watch the full vid for yet another one of my flex rants! Let me know your thoughts I'd love to hear them .

01.01.2022 Who struggles or feels discomfort trying to rotate the shoulder into needlescale/cocoon/eagle-type moves after grabbing the foot? Try this activation drill to start improving shoulder stability in these end-range positions! Swipe across This exercise is sooo much harder than it looks Please let me know how you go!! . I know there is mobility required across multiple joints in order to be able to execute these moves! But a VERY common issue when it comes to being ...restricted by the shoulder specifically in these transitions, is due to a lack of end range strength in shoulder external rotation and shoulder flexion together (i.e. controlling arm overhead with the elbow pointing forward/hand backward) . It's important that we condition ourselves to be stronger in these ranges rather than just passively flexible! It's crucial as helps us to not only effectively rotate our shoulders into these positions under load, but mitigate injury risk as we do it! . . . . #pdneedlescale #contortiontraining #pdcocoon #poleconditioning #exercisephysiologist #poledancer #poleathlete #poledancersofig #poledancingsydney #activeflexibility #strongandbendy #prehab #shouldermobility #shoulderstability #flexibilitytraining #mobilitytraining See more
