🦵Mobility Monday 🦵

Single leg exercises, ensures that the dominant side doesn’t compensate for the weaker one, leading to better symmetry, reduced risk of injury and improved balance and proprioception.

Start with just body weight before adding dumbbells/KB
Control the eccentric movement (the squat) to maximise muscle tension and growth.
Add iso-holds for 30 secs for extra burn 🔥

👶 Discomfort & Distress caused by trapped wind and upper back tension, is a common complaint with babies.

I teach these two exercises to many parents where their babies are experiencing ‘colic’ symptoms due to tension and trapped wind.

Top tips:
Ensure your baby is straddled across your thigh.
Spray your fingers across the lower ribs.
Support the back with your thumbs
Move your body WITH your baby in a circular motion.

Single-arm stretches:
Engage the palmar grasp reflex by your baby holding your finger.
Support the elbow.
Gently lean back as you elevate the shoulder, to as far as comfortable. Do not force the stretch.

Again little and often is best for babies 3-5 reps of each.

Note: Seek professional advice and guidance if you need support with the movement/exercise.
Stop if your baby is uncomfortable.

Allopathic Medicine is “One Problem Per Appointment”

Osteopathic Medicine is “Treat the person as a whole”

And also:

“Treat the cause not just the symptoms”

“Don’t just treat the bit that hurts”

Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) is a condition where extra bone grows on the hip bones (femur or socket), causing abnormal contact, friction, and pain during movement, particularly in young, active adults.

It often causes deep groin or hip pain, especially with twisting, squatting, or sitting.

If mild, exercises similar to the above + physical therapy can reduce symptoms and improve function.

Why do plank, squat and pull up?

From holding a cuppa tea to walking, running, gardening and eating etc…, we use thousands of these different muscle contractions daily, without evening thinking about them.

It only becomes a problem when we can no longer do it 🤔
