Seated clamshells are one of the most popular exercises prescribed by our clinicians.

This exercise is great for strengthening your legs, hips, glutes, and pelvis. Seated clamshells also help prevent injury and ease lower back tension by strengthening the core and lower back muscles.⁠
⁠
Let’s give it a try! ⁠
1️⃣ Sit in a chair with your back straight and knees at a 45-degree angle while keeping your feet shoulder distance apart. ⁠
2️⃣ Place a resistance band around both legs above the knee cap. ⁠
3️⃣ Push the knees out as far as you can, then bring the knees slowly back to the center of the body.

Do you have a job that requires you to sit at a desk, behind a computer, all day? A lot of people sit (and stand) with a slouched posture, or rounded shoulders. Having rounded shoulders can cause strain and built up tension, particularly across the shoulders and upper neck.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The best way to prevent upper back and shoulder pain is to practice proper posture. Shoulder blade squeezes are a good exercise to build shoulder and upper limb stability and strengthen the muscles that keep our shoulders in proper alignment.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
While seated or standing, pull the shoulder blades towards each other without shrugging your shoulders up to your ears. Hold for two seconds and let go. Repeat 10 times. Perform these sets 3-4 times a day.

Have you or someone close to you experienced a concussion recently? Don’t know what concussion information to believe? You are not the only one! Doing your own research can be hard, so here are 6 concussion myths we have debunked for you. https://bit.ly/42vU4ot

Your core muscles are some of the most important muscles in your body. A strong core helps prevent injuries, improves balance, stability and posture, eliminates back pain, boosts physical performance, and more!⁠
⁠
Most people focus on strengthening their abdominal muscles to improve core strength, but the low back muscles are just as important! If you have a stability ball, the low back extension on ball is a great exercise to strengthen those low back muscles.⁠
⁠
First make sure the ball is properly inflated. Then lie belly-side down on the ball, keeping your feet shoulder distance apart on the floor behind you. Place your arms either beside you, crossed on your chest, elbows bent while hands touching the side of your head, or arms straight ahead of you. Now, lift your upper body by engaging your low back and abdominal muscles. Slowly lower down to the starting position and repeat.
