🧗‍♂️ A short & sweet RAMP Warm Up for bouldering🧗‍♀️

👉FIRST UP: If you’re wondering what a RAMP warm up is, check out the full blog post on warming up for climbing (link in bio).

What does a warm up look like? Well, there’s a lot of variation in climbing. Generally, bouldering requires us to perform short sequences of powerful, punchy movements. Sport climbing can also require such movements, but the climbs are often longer and require at least some endurance. Speed climbing doesn’t count.

A good warm up reflects the demands of the session. If you’re bouldering, getting muscles and joints primed to make powerful, punchy moves is the priority. Likewise, if your project is a pure endurance route, girt thyself for the pump by warming up on easier, longer routes.

🔥Specificity is key to enhancing performance and injury prevention🔥

You can warm up in structured or unstructured ways on and off the wall. I like to use a semi-structured RAMP (raise, activate, mobilise, potentiate) warm up because the principles are highly adaptable to every climbing style and session, plus they ensure every muscle and joint is ready to try hard!!💪

To help you navigate the warm up minefield, we’ve put together a short and sweet RAMP warm up for bouldering (link in bio) featuring some of my favourite warm up exercises that takes only 15-20 minutes. Use the principles of RAMP to create a specific warm up for you that will increase your performance and help keep you injury free as we come out of 🔒down.

Try it out, let us know what you think, and if you’re struggling with climbing related injuries please reach out, we’re here to help.

If you’re a climber, 🔒down has kept you off the wall for a long time. With things opening again, we’ll soon be back, but are our bodies ready for it? Our climbing muscles and joints have languished unused for months! They’ll be less able to cope with the demands of climbing once we’re on the wall again which unfortunately...
MEANS WE’RE MORE LIKELY TO GET INJURED POST LOCKDOWN😱
What to do? A proper warm up is THE single most important thing you can do to avoid getting hurt climbing (while also maximising your performance💪)
There are lots of ways to warm up, with the most important take home being anything is better than nothing!
You can 🔥 up by:

🌵Performing an unstructured “warm up on the wall” consisting of 20-30 minutes of climbing, increasing the difficulty gradually while making sure you’re not getting pumped.
🌵Performing a semi structured RAMP (Raise, Activate, Mobilise, Potentiate) warm up. This involves some cardio to get your heart rate and body temperature up, muscle activation and joint mobilisations relevant to climbing, plus some some highly specific, intense exercises to ‘potentiate’ your muscles so they’ll pull at their hardest.
However you warm up, as we come out of lockdown make sure you do one to stay uninjured on the wall 💫🥳
For more info on how and why we warm up for climbing, check out the blog (link in bio), and if you’ve got climbing related aches and pains DM us with any questions you may have. We are here for you.

TEMPOROMANDIBULAR DYSFUNCTION (TMD): PART 2
In the second instalment of our mini series on TMD, we look at what TMD is and why we get it. . TMD is a broad term used to describe pain and dysfunction involving the Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ). It’s very common especially in younger people, and women are four times more likely to have it than men. . TMD can occur due to issues with the TMJ’s:
☀️Ligaments ☀️Surrounding muscles ☀️Joint surfaces ☀️Disc of cartilage sitting inside the joint between the jawbone and skull  . Muscle and ligament imbalances that cause our jaw to sit abnormally on our skull and move in ways it wasn’t designed to are the most common reason for problems occurring. . These can be because of:
🌵Trauma to the jaw 🌵Jaw clenching during the day 🌵Grinding your teeth while sleeping (Bruxism) A neck/ shoulder dysfunction or restriction 🌵Dental problems like an uneven bite 🌵Dental work (i.e. fillings, tooth extractions)  . Stress, anxiety and depression go hand in hand with TMD, as people experiencing these often clench their jaw during the day or have bruxism at night (or both!), leading to a chronically over worked jaw and headaches. . The small, shock absorbing disc of cartilage sitting inside the TMJ can also sometimes become displaced so it doesn’t slide and move smoothly. This often causes the jaw to click or pop with mouth movements, which can be painful and in some cases the jaw might temporarily lock.😱 . TMD can be caused by degeneration of the joint surfaces (osteoarthritis), and is sometimes disguised as ear pain. . Stay tuned for Part 3 where we look at how Osteopathy can help treat TMD 🥳🙏🌈 . . If you are struggling with jaw, head or neck pain check out the blog (link in bio) or DM us with any questions you may have. We are here for you.

⚡️TEMPOROMANDIBULAR DYSFUNCTION (TMD): PART 1 ⚡️
In the first part of our mini series on TMD, we look at the anatomy 🦴and function 💫temporomandibular joint (TMJ).
🌵The jawbone (or mandible) is the bone hanging from the front of your skull. It makes up the lower part of your face, ending with your chin at the front. Your lower teeth sit on the mandible, and your tongue attaches here.
🌵On either side of your head the mandible attaches to the temporal bones of your skull at the ‘temporomandibular’ joints or TMJ’s. Place your fingers just in front of your ears and open and close your mouth. Feel that? It’s your TMJ in action.
🌵The TMJ’s unique anatomy featuring a small, shock-absorbing cartilage disc makes it both a ginglymus (hinging joint) and an arthrodial (sliding) joint. This combination is what lets us open and close our mouths and move our jaw from side to side or front to back. We use our TMJ for any movement involving the jaw like chewing, swallowing or speaking. In fact, WE USE IT MORE THAN ANY OTHER JOINT IN OUR BODY! 🤯🤯🤯
🌵Movements at the TMJ are controlled by the muscles of mastication (mastication means chewing, promise). The ones that help close our mouths are Masseter, Temporalis and the Medial Pterygoid, while the Lateral Pterygoid assists with opening (see image in the post). We also use neck muscles to help with these movements but not as directly.
Stay tuned for PART 2 where we’ll look at what can go wrong with the TMJ 🔥

Stressed out?!? 😩
Give these 3 exercises a go!
The jaw can be a major problem in holding stress especially if you’re prone to clenching! 😖
Masseters & temporalis muscles help control your jaw as well as SCM muscle attaching to your temporal bone (part of your jaw)
