Mommy Pooch: Although moms tend to focus cosmetically on their pooch, there are more sinister issues that can be associated with this such as back pain, leaking, and pelvic pain.

Join me and as we discuss the cause of this issue and tips for dealing with it.

🔥 CURTSY LUNGE 🔥

We spend so much time with our limbs moving forward and back but seldom work the muscles on the sides of our bodies. This exercise recruits the under-utilized gluteus medius, which is an important pelvic stabilizer and can play an important role in mediating back, hip and knee pain.

Muscles worked: glute medius, glute max, quads, hamstrings, calves, inner thighs

Follow these steps to do a curtsy lunge with proper form:
1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your arms down at your sides.
2. Putting your weight into your right foot, step back and around with your left foot — almost as if you’re curtsying — allowing your arms to come up in front of you to a comfortable position. Ensure that your chest stays proud. Stop lunging when your right thigh is parallel to the ground.
3. Begin to straighten your right leg, pushing up through your heel, and returning your left foot to the starting position.
4. For added challenge, add weight by holding dumbbells or a barbell
5. Feel the burn in those muscles!! Try 10-12 reps per side, 2-4 sets

As always, consult your physiotherapist for more personalized advice, and always respect your body’s limits

🌱🌷HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY🌷🌿

A mother wraps

her love around

the heart of her

child, keeping

each beat steady

through the rhythm of life, until

wings take shape

and it’s time

for the soul

to take flight.

⭐️SHOULDER STABILITY FOR EVERYONE⭐️
This is such a GREAT exercise for working the scapular stabilizers (like serratus anterior & rotator cuffs) through range of motion. I can’t stress the importance of this one enough! It’s an exercise that EVERYONE should be doing to train the muscles around the shoulder to move appropriately.
Make sure you’re actively pushing your hands into the floor throughout the entire exercise (or think of pushing your body away from the floor)
Incorporate into your usual routine if you exercise regularly. If you’re doing specific shoulder rehab, ask your therapist when it would be appropriate to add this for your specific condition. Should be completely pain-free. .
