This client decided that they really want to return to skateboarding. This week he purchased a skate deck, stuck carpet on the top for grip and 2 inner tubes for bag trolley tyres to start to practice the balance for skating. This shows how motivated he is with this goal. 💪 This was a combined effort and I am so proud of him here learning to balance on the skateboard again in a safe way. Look out here he comes! 🎉🎉
Physio focus for this goal:
🛹 Dynamic calf mobility on incline board while maintaining heel contact and a neutral mid foot position and knee control (including right single leg squats on board)
🛹 Single leg squat balance practice on right leg on flat ground
🛹 Maintaining control through right knee and flat foot contact while stepping left foot on and off to propel
🛹 Practising quick steps to save self if loses balance
For home exercise program he is able to do this independently using a hiking pole on his left hand when stepping on and off the board. 🙌😁
