๐Ÿ„๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ What are the spinal extensors and why are they important when surfing?

Spinal extensors contract together enabling thoracic extension to be maintained during paddle phase.

They contract unilaterally to provide rotation and side flexion which help produce explosive movements during turns.

These muscles are easily lengthened and weakened by repetitive sitting in poor postures for extended periods of time ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿ’ป

There is no better feeling than walking towards the waves, surfboard in hand and the sun shining โ˜€๏ธ

Remember this is a great time to check out the surf conditions and look for any potential dangers:
๐Ÿ”นRip tides
๐Ÿ”นRocks and boulders, is there a reef?
๐Ÿ”นHigh/ Low tide
๐Ÿ”นTime period between waves
๐Ÿ”นSwell and wind direction
๐Ÿ”นWave height

โ“Does the beach and conditions match your surf ability?

And always surf with a friend ๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿ„๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ

A lovely yoga session to end a block of 6 ๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™€๏ธ weโ€™ve had rain, wind, mosquito bites and finally some sun โ˜€๏ธ but have all come out a little more flexible and definitely stronger ๐Ÿ’ช

Yoga after work in an outdoor environment is a great way to get your exercise in, destress from situations at work and prepare you for the next day ๐Ÿ™

Happy Monday ๐Ÿ™Œ
10th - 16th May; Mental Health Awareness Week ๐Ÿ™‡โ€โ™€๏ธ
Take the time to make the most of where you live this week. Get out and explore a beach or a cove, a mountain or hill top, even your local park. It might be one you know well or one you are venturing to for the first time. The most important part is to enjoy the fresh air and the time you are giving to yourself ๐Ÿ”๐ŸŒผโ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒŠ

๐Ÿ„โ€โ™€๏ธ โ€˜Surferโ€™s Shoulderโ€™ is one of the most common surfing conditions we see in clinic. It is thought that 40-60% of time spent in the water when on a surfboard is paddling. This repetitive motion of the shoulder during paddling is more often than not the cause of โ€˜Surfers Shoulderโ€™.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Swipe for some examples of exercises that may help. However we would always recommend a full assessment prior to starting any rehab.
