Found an interesting article on Minimum exercise for rehab. It really doesn't take a lot to increase your strength and function when rehabbing from an injury...you just need to load it more than it is used to, to create adaptive change. Even a light load with lower repetitions can still help when you are recovering from injury or preventing muscle loss as you age. So do your homecare!

Worth a read! https://www.thesports.physio/what-is-the-minimal-effective-dose-of-exercise-a-guest-blog-by-marcus-blumensaat/?fbclid=IwAR1_9KoaskLjXPZ1H7bMeUOt2mcWz6N03qSEgz3FOe0Yyjh6vGJGpKx1rnk

So it’s been a while since I’ve blogged and even longer since I’ve had a guest blogger on The Sports Physio. However, I am really pleased to introduce you all to Marcus Blumensaat…

Just wanted to let everyone know of an amazing sale going on at Norwex right now. I sold a mop system to someone I have known for years and see regularly and she came back a week later and told me how amazing she thought the mop was. So easy to use and does such a better job then her current mop. She could noticeably see how much cleaner her floors were and with a dog she loved using the dry mop in between wet mops to clean up the hair and dirt she drops.

So if anyone out there is looking to upgrade their mop system then this is the time as norwex mops don’t go on sale often. They are $99 dollars right now a $30 savings plus if you order in November you save an additional $10.

No worries if you don’t live near me you can order online now and get it shipped directly to your door.

PM me for more information.

Or go to the link below and shop directly.

A client showed me this book, by and author who I have posted about. Stuart McGill has a great guide for overcoming/managing your back pain. Just found a great source to buy the book directly. I bought it to make some homeware sheets for clients and quickly realized the book as a whole is a great resource for anyone. It explains how to see the things in your daily life that contribute to your pain and how to modify your activities to help prevent the irritation. He has a great method for core stabilization which is the only way you will truly recover from back pain. Tons of tips, easy check lists, easy to follow diagrams and dos and don't.

Today is our first Muscle Monday. We thought we would share some information and have some fun, so one Monday a month we are going to post a muscle and give info and tips about it. Today is Sarah's turn and she has picked Serratus Anterior.

Serratus Anterior is an important shoulder muscle. It stabilizes and upwardly rotates the scapula during shoulder/arm movements. It often is a bit lazy and likes to let Pectorlais Minor and Latissimus dorsi do its work. But they are not meant to pull the same way as Serratus Anterior so you are left with a scapula the wings out and does not open up fully for abduction movements (overhead) which can lead to impingement issues and pain.

I give the following activation exercise link to a lot of patients and it has helped them a ton with their chronic shoulder issues.

Check out Sarah's latest Blog post on our website: What is Ortho-Bionomy® and Why it may be for you?

I have had a number of patients come in lately needing to strengthen their core. It prompts me to share a favourite You Tube clip on core strengthening that I often give to my clients.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsup3ZvzAjU

I have been planning to run a educational workshop series for our patients and hopefully when the Covid restrictions ease we can set something up! I think the first one should be on understanding what our core is and how to engage it and strengthen it safely.

Stuart McGill has done a ton of research on back injury at McMaster University and is an amazing resource.

Dr. Stuart Mc Gill shares some of his research regarding "spine sparing strategies, Core training, and functional abdominal training.
